The Letter is up

An solid rebuttle lol

I wasn't going for a rebuttal really. Your post is full of emotion and frustration, which is understandable but not always reasonable. Their is a large focus on content in the post, which I can again understand because I too have been bored since I first reached my max level.

I get it, but I don't agree with it. I could sit here and say all the things I have said in the past and give my reasons but know that I will be labeled as a fanboy when I do. I have consigned myself to wait. The content may not seem like much, but hopefully it will have something to keep us busy with, at least for a little while, which would be a welcome distraction.

Actually, as a current player, I have posted a pretty clear and defined expectation of what I want that I think is reasonable and well thought out. Its a paste over post from one I made on the CORE and its on page 35 of this thread. Its easier to be snide than it is to offer well thought out opinions about what you want. As evidenced by most of your posts.

Not very clear. It gave me a headache trying to read that wall of text.

Cool, I will keep this one much shorter then:

Take an advil

Take a reading course

Respond when you have something to offer thats intelligent

I personally don't care how long the update takes as long as it fixes a lot and for the good; at least Yoshi-P said its gonna take 2 weeks than nothing at all would of made more people pissed off so I think what he did was alright.

Now him saying this going to be the biggest patch... he better be right, both JP and NA forums talking now about 1.18 being the straw to leave or stay in FFXIV, pretty sure French and German side also got similar topics going around.

If what Yoshi-P is saying about 1.18 is just like the stupid poem released in what?? December last year? January this year? that made no sense at all... then I don't see much future for FFXIV and the dev staff I was hoping that will drastically change this game. It may happen but it's going to take much much longer than what most of us would of expected. I don't blame the new dev teams though, first off they shouldn't of used Crystal Engine in the first place, second they are picking up what the first dev team did/screwed up... I don't know whats their company policy on programming and writing proper notes on code so it's changeable in future with other devs but programming other peoples codes sometimes can be a major headache.

Thanks for the news on the JP players, please keep us up to date!

Checked with the dev. team regarding questions about archers and their ability to auto-attack. Auto-attack as a system will initiate when the player is fighting an enemy in close range. While archers will be able to auto-attack enemies while in close range it won't be with arrows. New animations will be implemented to make this all happen!

Makes me wonder if they will be mixing archer up with a dagger or shortsword the way they did in XI. Good stuff.

Whoa. Interesting to see how this will work.

O.o
And now...Things get interesting. Because that means Archer is gonna need another weapon of some sort.

My mind hath been blown!
Will there be specific attacks to suit both close range and long range then? I wonder...
