Urgently Change your Approach SE

[Fizzie]

I absolutely LOVE this game, but the OP is right in the respect that SE have promised things that they either didn't deliver at all, or just didn't seem to put any effort into when they did (leaving us with yet more of an "unfinished" feeling).

Overall, I don't think we (on the whole) give enough praise to the huge amount of time and effort that actually goes into making a game like this.

That said, there is a lot lacking in certain areas. Pricing aside, Personal Housing could have been a whole lot more "personal". With houses to suit each race (size wise, at least) for a start. And in a completely different area to FC Housing.

I had a personal disappointment with the Easter event rewards. Egg hats. Really? It's Easter. Bunny ears (no, not a helmet) or chocobo hats, or something!

And are we EVER gonna get dyeable swimwear!?

Chocobo Dying has been needlessly complicated.

Atma grinding was completely idiotic. And the books are worse. I've given up on the whole thing, to be honest.

Chocobo Training was a major disappointment. The videos left us with the impression they would be something far more interactive. Instead I just click to feed them and get a cut-scene.

The adding of new hair styles have been very few and fair between.

And every time they give us some new gear for the purpose of glamouring, it's ridiculously hard to make and/or afford.

The books were far far better in my opinion. Even so I've been working on a second set of atma for NIN and have gotten 9/12 in a few weeks time. This is mostly because I haven't been farming every day I was on.

Still don't see the issue with chocobo training. With the increase in choco leveling it was a way to speed up the process. SE didn't have to give it to you, it was a QoL addition that people are honestly taking for granted.

Personally the Atma and especially the Books are nothing when it comes to grinding. If you think these are hard, you should check out a French made game called Wakfu. Currently 160 levels, at a point (normally between Lv125-130) it would take a full day or two to just get a single level in. Above that if you want a new gear you have to deal with drop rates of 0.1%, 0.3%, 1%, 3% for over 95% of every gear in the game. (Which makes Atma's 5% a joke.)

Idk, I know ppl have some bad luck and that really truly sucks for them, but they will at some point make it even easier for everyone to get Atmas.

On the side note: Awhile back I looked up some info on Atmas drop rates and the likes. Many players have reported that going solo (Chocobo is ok) always seemed to make the Atmas drop faster. I personally only ran solo with Chocobo. So if you want to test your luck run solo. Don't group with others. It worked for me, maybe it will work for others as well. Wish anyone that still needs them the best of luck and I hope this info would be of some help!

I agree.

Players on this game are helpless. Variants of the Atma grind have been in MMORPGs since their inception.

Personaly, i wouldn't mind so much the problems if SE had the honesty to recognize when they scr***ed up.

They underestimated the interest of the Hunt based on the rewards they gave. The game was a drama hell for weeks. The answer: all work as intended, there is no problem at all...

They stated that the personnal housing will be separated from FC housing. It's finally the same. The answer: We didn't lie it's you who didn't understood well.

I just want some honesty... is it too hard?

What they showed us in the trailer is what we got. Don't expect more than a CS if you only see a CS.

You can't please your whole player base.

I suppose they could bring 2.0 back where every player literally got everything in the game just for logging on and playing for 1 hour a day.

Honestly my only peeve is Yoshi-P calling his obvious and blatant lie an "extremely unclear" comment (BULL!!! It was a lie! Pure and simple!) I wouldn't be nearly as irked about it if he came clean a month earlier and just said "I'm sorry I won't be able to keep my promise. I tried" I would of respected him for doing so.

[Purrfectstorm]

I'd love it if SE would go a little less daily crazy. I'm going to log on everyday anyway. I'd really like it if it didn't take several hours of doing dailies to get to the fun.
