Anyone Else Feel Betrayed?

[Imapooonu]

its a betrayal more for 1.0 player that has been supporting the game all this time, why invest all this time until 1.23, and until now , to have what we call a good game now...?

so boring and empty game

just look at where we going, nothing new really, just vertical gear progression with 3 mode primals, few dj and thats all

i dont see the point, in subbing until first expansion release

we gonna see after the 6 month mark ( what most have subbed), but i think, SE gonna take a big slap in the face

I've supported SE since the original Nintendo days. I know it sounds strange, but FFVII was and is still my favorite installment. Since Sephiroth isn't in the series...should I feel betrayed? Hardly.

Slap in the face huh? For every 1 player trying to "slap" them in the forum or something, there will quite literally be 100 other players completely not noticing you trying to "slap" someone.

ARR isn't even 6 months old yet, so it is still in it's "toddler" stage as far as MMOs are concerned. How often do you hear of a "toddler" with adult skills and abilities? The only major issue this game has is a lack of patience among a small portion of it's players. SE can't do anything about that, and I'm glad they aren't wasting resources trying to.

wasting ressources lol ? because all those ressources on ton of furnishing, minion, are not wasted ?

and stop the "6 month game" plea, vertical gear progression, et making content obsolete fast is part of their game design , it has nothing to do with game lifespan

What I love is the retort every month is.... its only been "fill in month" give them more time.

1.0 sucked, get over it.

Can't emphasise this enough. Even at 1.23 it still sucked, they could throw all the content they wanted at it, nobody would have played that mess.

And stop with these threads already, that's like the 5th one today.

Sucked is a pretty hard term for 1.0
They were too bold with new ideas, ideas that sounded good on paper but were a nightmare to play. 1.0 Had a sweet story, I liked the EARLY progression more. That each city also had something different happen as starting mission also was lovely. The crafting idea was nice but confusing. Gathering was confusing and you almost needed a degree in applied sciences for each gathering job. The stress 1.0 put on Computers also was more than crazy.

1.22 was good balance of the game. One main issues was removing so many items from crafting system and make everything dated. That & removing +2 & +3 materials and gear. Materia system was really good, kept market afloat. ARR need patches like these ones, game changing.

So you wanted FFXI-2 and got FFXIV instead..... Going to go with option A here and say "Go play FFXI then."

I still think FFXI-2 would have been more fun. Just saying! I mean apparently they went with the watered down WoW formula and it's still going to end up with the same population FFXI was @ for like 7+ years. So why not just be original or go back to their niche game roots? Sure this game might have hit a higher number than FFXI, but lets see if it has the stamina to last as long.

But then again, SE has much lower standards than most companies. 500,000 subs might be a success to SE, but to Bioware/EA 500,000 subs was a failure.

Actually they did originally design FFXIV to be a successor to FFXI with the same target group. They even deliberately kept the races very very similar in appearance to let ppl carry over the feeling of their characters.

It just ended up total derail from what it's supposed to be.
