So sick of prioritisation

[Softandsquishy]

You have to crawl before you can walk.

I'd rather they get the basic mechanics to be enjoyable than have mounts in a game that I'm not fundamentally interested in. I'm not saying they can't do multiple things at once, but let's face it. The new dev team has a lot on their plate.

You are SO missing the point.

I don't know why I even bother making these threads that are so obviously beyond the purview of your understanding.

No, you are missing the point. You can't even keep up with your own debates. Beat it.

I do not think you understand your own argument.

If you want your features done before everything else, I hate to tell you, but that is the very definition of prioritisation. If you are complaining that these features didn't make it into launch (and thus not need post-launch prioritisation), I do not know what you expect from this topic, without a TARDIS it is quite difficult for SE to go back and slip those features in before it launches.

Just cause you feel its a priority doesnt mean others, Just cause some people must have jump doesnt mean other people feel the same, that was an example. there prioritizing what everyone wants the most out of the game. Like new battle system Everyone wants that so there doing it. Some people do and dont want an Auction house so thats why there not making it a priority. So stop being selfish and think the stuff you feel should be added now should be a main thing.

Who needs content or UI improvements or class tweaks when we can play hopscotch? I do think that most of the named features (like mail, AH (or better MWs), better LS control, etc...) are necessary (at some point). I think that core features that almost everyone uses almost all the time, should definitely come first.

No matter how many times i read this thread title all i see at first glance is "So sick of prostitution" and i laugh; end story.

I am so sick of prioritisation. Or prioritization* if you are that way inclined.

What is this? An intellectual recession or something? Aren't we even allowed to want things anymore?

Everytime someone asks for something, regardless of how basic and standardised the concept is, apparently it cannot be done because it isn't "a priority". Funny, here was me thinking this was supposed to be a video game competing in an already saturated market.

We can't even have mounts anymore because it isn't a priority. Lol? If this was an indie company with ten staff members, I could perhaps understand where people were coming from acting like a mount is a luxury we can't afford. But this is a game produced by Square Enix.

Shouldn't basic things like mounts, jumping, network-coding, and other such features be within their capacities. It's not like any of these are novel ideas with no precedent. They are elementary features.

Hey Vespi babe.

Weren't you posting about how we shouldn't get all of this stuff?

All I see is "So sick of reality".

Fortunately each of us can form another reality just for ourselves where everything is possible. The downside is being tied into a bed for the rest of your life though.

Oh that. I was probably just doing my impersonation of everyone on this forum who just regurgitates verbatim every excuse given in producers letters with their own personal embellishment as to why it means we can't even have BASIC FEATURES.

The fact is, SE shouldn't have to prioritise on the development of basic features. This isn't a third world country. Resources cannot really be so scarce as to validate such excuses. And if so, then why are we still bothering to play an evidently abandoned game?

In what reality do game developers prioritise the implementation of basic features? Answer me that.

The reality is you've been lied to.

Yeah, right. You're just a flip-flopper.

Resources aren't scarce, there is simply more to do than in most games. Can you really not see that? Which games redo their combat and class systems? This isn't rocket science.

You can only answer for yourself. I bet most people here aren't playing the game as long as it hasn't got enough value in it. They are simply waiting while living their lives normally. It doesn't take much effort to do so.

In what reality do game developers prioritise the implementation of basic features? Answer me that.

In the reality where the people taking advantage of said basic features are in an extremely small minority when compared to the people who would benefit more from a rapid implementation of core feature rehauls and faster implementation of basic features afterwards.

The reality is it's easier to rehaul the core systems and then implement basic features as opposed to implementing basic features and then rehauling the core.
