crystal tool and server : some news ?

[Betelgeuzah]

All that is certain is that they haven't actually worked on the servers&engine extensively for 10 months. The new management decided to tackle the issues with Hashimoto's help, so I'd guess they have been researching, testing and adjusting for half a year now.

I wouldn't be surprised if it takes them another 6 months to implement the changes to the live servers (on top of everything else they need to be careful not to corrupt our characters) but as said previously, we could still get an answer out of them in regards to what's going on right now.

I'd enjoy the current patches much more knowing that they are working hard at fixing the true core problems of the game that go beyond just game mechanic issues. As someone said, no game mechanic rehaul is going to have as large of an impact on the game as these fixes.

Imagine a snappy, perfectly responsive and smoothly running FFXIV with no hiccups.

That's what I want to see.
