Dear Bayohne & Rukkirii

[ChiefCurrahee]

How do we get your attention, or at least your acknowledgment about REAL issues or concerns of the fundaments of the core game?

I'm not upset that you haven't said a peep about "my issue" with the game: (Targeting priority options)

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Please-add-it!

I'm jsut disappointed that your attention is given to threads like
"too many moogle weapons threads"
"dyeing AF armor"
"eating chocobo for TG meals"
"player created guildleves"
"the sound moogle weapons make"

on the JP side they get quick responses about the position of sound in relation to the camera vs the player
and responces to loading screens with tips.


but can't acknowledge an idea that could possibly make the core of the battle system more palatable? Something that can potentially make the game better right now.

I like the community outreach, but it gets discouraging when you read responses to topics that seem so trivial at this time, and real issues fall on deaf ears.

Maybe I'm being selfish by saying my topic needs to be addressed, but at least 34 other people agree with me, and I'm not the first person to bring this topic up and not get a response. Targeting issues is one of the biggest compliants I hear about while in a PT.

I even spent like 2 hours using an online photo-editor to make you guys a picture (couldn't find my photoshop CD) I had to cut out a freaking malboro by hand which took so long it gave me carpaltunnel.

maybe you just haven't seen the thread, i'm gonna keep bumping it until targeting is changed, you shut down the thread or give it a reply.

aren't important at all indeed. However ""player created guildleves"" seem to be more important, and worth drawing attention.

[ChiefCurrahee]

no, no I agree that player created guildleves would be a great addition.
However something like that would take a lot of resources and time to develop and most likely wouldn't see it until ver 2.0 or sometime after. Yet it gets a response from a rep fairly quickly for something that would be for so far off in the future.

Yet something like the targeting priorities which would take much less time and potentially be in game quickly gets nothing from the reps.

Did you somehow miss the Final Fantasy XIV 2.0 announcement? Not read the PDFs?

What does this have to do with anything?

They clearly didn't ignore the fundamental issues with the game.

I believe he was referring to things that could and should be fixed in the near future. 2.0 is a year away.

I think they're paying attention just they say they try to lurk in the shadows lest the masses raise pitchfork high. To that I say, pop up more often but just be honest that you don't know when the team will listen, respond, or do anything. Then we can all feel feelings of happiness.

[Chardrizard]

or perhaps they don't bother responding because u'd probably only get "we will look into it"

Just the validation alone would be welcome.

Targeting sucks in this game. If they added an option to allow radial (closest to furthest left to right / right to left) tab targeting it's something that could immediately improve one of the core aspects of the game. BATTLE. Yet this issue is not acknowledged.

what about issues like this:
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...fee-take-place (posted 12/6/11 no reply)
or
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...trol-post-2012. (posted 10/21/11 - no reply)

which have to do with population control post billing. I think everyone here might want to know if SE has a plan inplace incase server population suffers.

or when patch 1.19 notes came out a few days early and people were concerned about MP regen & Enmity issues. Several threads and rage arguements insued. Yet no rep came by and said "this is how it will work".

Instead they spend time replying to topics that have no impact on current or near future game play.
Things like:
Moogle weapons will go "KUPU" when you draw your weapon... so what!
You can't dye AF armor, that sucks for customisation, but AF armor is still 3-6 months away!
There *might* be shops in hamlet areas, Hamlet def is still 3 months out.
player created leves (GREAT IDEA!! I hope it happens) but what are the chances we get something like this before ver 2.0 which is a year away?
