Thread: Version 2.0 - apparently the real miracle patch

This may have been answered but will subscribers of the current engine/servers get to beta test 2.0? If so will they actually listen this time when every single beta tester says it sucks/needs more time in the cooker?

I don't know, but this 2.0 will have it all talk just isn't that believable..

Can someone set me straight(without the if you don't like it leave crap) where is 2.0 will have every feature known to man thing coming from?

That is crap reasoning, they need funding to build the new engine. So if I don't pay I don't get the rest of the story GOOD MOVE.

We are not paying for content of this build being added, we are paying for them to build 2.0 - be real. this content - moogle primal fight? assets already in the dats, same with titan. Only thing we are really getting is more text in this build

And trust me the localization team is spending much more of their time on the new world as opposed to the few hundred lines we get with each patch

I agre with the mount but I dont think the Patriot Choker to be rare as I expect to see it again at the next year ._.

@ OP. Please quit and send me all your gil. Gidonidon Sur on Selbina. Thanks.

Or...Don't pay2play and reactivate account 1 month prior to 2.0 and zerg all the content. Bam, $12 (and some lost shut-eye) versus $120+

The OP may be incorrect on a few of the details but they have a valid point. Those polls we took just proved to Square what is deemed most desirable by us and is now going to keep everything we asked behind the key of the $. I will not be continuing onward until their slated 2.0 is released as this is what got SE the deserved intense backlash is has suffered by using our natures against us once again. I paid a lot of money for a beta and I still have to pay for a beta the way I look at it while all the input we divulged as players is being used against me to force me to pay again for these ideas which should have been there in the first place that are still in development. I think those that will pay need to remember the recent past and how we as players were shunted and deceived. Now all the things I had hoped for being a part of during this development is null as they only want the opinions of die hard fans who'll pay the sub for this crap.

@Starlord

Actually they are changing the game engine so that it'll be easier to work with, taken from

http://www.siliconera.com/2011/11/11...says-producer/

Q: It seems like with FFXIV 2.0, you will be changing the game engine and changing other core aspects of the game. But will movements and such be as laggy as the current client? Will we need to upgrade our PCs?

A: Currently, the game can only display 40 characters on-screen no matter what kind of PC you have. However, with an MMO engine, people expect this to be dependent on hardware—a high spec PC should be able to display a large number of characters. That’s why we’re changing the graphics engine.

So ya it's a lot more complex then just changing the areas, if that was the case then they wouldn't have to go through the period in which they have to move the character data from this version of XIV into 2.0 lol.
