Ff14 A realm unfinished

[luggz]

Some times i feel like i am playing a beta version of this game with lag, errors, lack of end game content

No pvp at all

I can't. Be the only one that feels this way

I believe one the biggest faults of 1.0 (besides the fatigue system) was a lack of content. I was hoping with a re-launch there would not be that problem. I am told in 6 months to a year that should be fixed and we should wait until then. Or quit the game and come back in six months to a year.

When is a MMO finished?

There are a lot of things missing from FF14ARR now.

Majority of the current classes don't have their 2nd Job yet except for Arcanist.

Musketeer has not been released despite SE attempt to get this class into FF14 since 1.0

PvP is missing

Endgame is missing parts like Crystal Tower

and we don't have Hildebrand Quests!

Right now it way too early to judge this game due to missing contents they had to hold back to major updates because of issues in developing them into FF14 before release deadline hit.

When the servers are turned off, unless you're FF14 then you RISE FROM YOUR GRAVE!

To OP:
Not sure what kind of dustball you're playing on or bad ISP you've got that's giving you lag. Sorry for you.

Errors? Show me an online game that's never had any.

Lack of content? Clearly you are playing the wrong game. There is a lot of content to start with in FFXIV and more coming right around the corner.

No PvP? Fine by me, but it is coming and something they have been working on for quite some time. Can't wait? Then maybe you need a different hobby.

Your other points were good, but this one? I'm sorry, but this game has bad server lag. You can white-knight that all you want, but it doesn't make it any less true. When someone can max out games like Guild Wars 2 and play with no lag at all, but can't do that with FFXIV on low settings, there is something wrong.

And to just be clear: It's server lag, not a FPS drop. The game runs well. The servers cannot handle the load. But even WoW had this problem for about the first year.

Hmm, you mean with large FATEs? Because otherwise, I don't experience any lag at all with the game and I play on the highest settings atm. My computer isn't even what I'd consider top notch. In fact it's already about 3-4 years old.

The only time I do experience lag is during the Odin FATE due to the huge amount of people that are usually in that one place to partake in it. Which is pretty standard fare when you have hundreds of players congregating in one small area and even then the lag isn't really disturbing my own play very much. If anything the main problem it causes is that sometimes Odin will disappear and I'll have to tab around until he's targeted again. Other than that, the only thing the Odin lag does is make the sound effects all funky and delayed to where it's just one mass of sound effects all going off continually.

I actually haven't participated in Behemoth, but I'd imagine it's a similar experience.

Whoa, a reference to Altered Beast, talk about old school! 20 years later and I still mimic that part of the game once in a blue moon.

good point, a MMO is constantly being worked on... to keep all it's players happy...

Usually 3 months - 1 year after launch when it gets shutdown if you're talking about these days Otherwise I get what the OP Means, at times it does kind of feel like a "beta", but that's mostly just the "standard" design that makes it feel a bit bland in some areas.

WoW had just as much content, if not less...

Lack of content is not the same as content that is undesireable to you.
WP, AK, CM, Prae, Titan, Garuda, Chimera, Ifrit, Dzemael Darkhold, Aurum Vale, Cape Westwind, Hydra, Coils, crafting, and Grand Company leves can all be consider end game. Because you do not want to do but two of those is not game developer's fault.

WP - Tomestone grind considering people who use it for its intended purpose gets yelled at or told they're "undergeared" even though WP drops the gear you're supposed to use to go into AK with.
AK - Tomestone grind, same deal.
CM - Storyline Dungeon.
Praetorium - Storyline Dungeon.
Primals - This can be considered End-game.
Chimera - For Relic? Quest mob.
Darkhold - Promotion quest.
AV - Side content you can generally skip if it you transitioned over from 1.0 and not doing relic.
Cape Westwind - Write in full detail why would I do this of my freewill after beating it if not to help people?
Hydra - Relic quest, skippable otherwise.
Coils - The actual only true end-game currently.
Crafting - Not content
GC - Not content
Guildleves - You can in a semantics kind of way consider it content but there's no substance to it - it's a mean to an end.

So in all reality, this game does have a lack of content and even Yoshi touches on that players feel it does, which is why he's basically touting 2.1 as a "key update to fix it."
