Thread: Game content is full of mistakes...much worse than FFXIV 1.23

The end-game dungeons changed to 4 because he didn't want to rebalance it for 8 people and decided 4 man was the best number for dungeons in an MMORPG - Remember, AV, CC and DH weren't just dungeons for AF.

I like how 1.0+ was so good that they had to cancel it and start again.

Agreed with everything OP said except this:

No thanks. Grinding items to run primals was extremly annoying and a mindless boring time sink.

I'd like to add: GATHERING.

1.0's is x9999 better than this faceroll 0 key mash "gathering" YoshiP put here.

Funnily enough they stated the only reason they had to scrap 1.23 was because they needed to change engines to fix some core issues otherwise they wouldn't have. In the process they decided to change the game into the "standard MMO" you can download from any asian hub site.

Least I actually made progress compared to, you know, some of the grinds in this version

I don't get it... You made progress by killing trash mobs for a currency to PLAY the game? ( ' x ' ?

Old client was scrapped because it was so ill programmed and so set on it's system that it could not open itself to major changes. Not to mention a single flower pot had the same amount of weight that an NPC did. The client had awfully high requirements and not even the higher end PC's could run it efficiently.

You have relics for mindless grinding. As someone who had 500+ keystones for all primals, it was simply a chore and not fun, especially when you had competition. Needless grinds are not required to make good content. Its actually one of my complaints in ARR is some segments with having to deal with bad grinding quests.

Of course they're going to mention the good in this type of a thread. I swear, people just can't think clearly when XI or XIV 1.0 - 1.23 are mentioned. They're not saying that want a clone of the games, but rather to try and implement some of the things that DID work for said games. The overworld in XIV is laughable - I think adding some difficulty from the past could only improve XIV.
