Thread: This patch is waste time 1.20

Having to do that quest over and over again will result in either of these:

a) Player keeps playing until he has every mog weapon, which is delayed greatly by the annoying quest, then proceeds to take a break from the game since he finished all endgame-ish content.
b) Player gets sick of having to do that annoying quest over and over again and stops playing before getting all mog weapons. He could tell SE was using a cheap trick to try and trick him into playing more so he is less likely to return.

Sure they would get the fanboys to stay interested in the game longer, but at the cost of their other players which are the majority.


SE needs to face the fact that most of their current and potential customers are not OCD and have lots of alternatives when it comes to having fun.

i may sound cynical, but i'm seriously worried. so many friends are quitting this game (1 just ragequitted yesterday after the 7th link-kill before arriving to Boata).

EQ2 went f2p this month as well.

and you are one of the trollers who seeks flame in every thread? i honestly don't care. if you think that your picture is not offensive, then you have nothing to worry about, right? next time think before you post.

we are trying to have a contructive talk here, nothing to do with personal stuff.

if you like this patch then good for you, keep paying and have fun but you can't blame other ppl just because they don't think the same.

but please, don't say that this quest is funny, lol. moogle fight is actually pretty good, yes, but the keystone quest sucks.

I take back what I said before, I didn't know you had to redo the quest everytime. That's aweful, here are 2 options that would make this better.

1. Make getting the items from the NM's a 1 time thing.
Or
2. Erase the Trees.

Ill pick option 2.

I would be sad to see them go/get severely dumbed down.

That's not to say I think we should have to get the drops constantly. Maybe place a time limit on the drops, say 24 hours of mog killing before the NM's get the ward up again.

100% agree, but i might consider making it every few days, just because it can take a few hours with inexperienced players.

I don't have a problem with either of these items, the thing that makes me tear my hair out is getting aggroed by a random mob who then instantly links with a tree and you die. That's it, in many cases I have died before I knew there was a mob that would aggro me. The second problem is you start running with your weapon out even if you are set to walk. Why? If I want to walk then I want to walk.

Changing these two things would make the small NM fights just that little bit easier.

I wanted to forward a few posts that Yoshida made this weekend in regards to your concerns about the Moogle quest and fight. He also listed the dev. team's current plan of action in addressing player feedback, too.

Thanks for all the feedback in regards to having to repeat the Moogle quest every time.
We’ll be looking into adjustments to ease up a bit and will be using your feedback as reference.

Thanks so much for all the encouraging words, as always!
As you have been pointing out, I am quite tired, but I have looked over the entire forum and I quickly created a patch 1.20 adjustment plan, not only for the Moogle fight.

Tomorrow morning first thing we will be finalizing the specs and begin work on adjustment implementation, so we are trying our best to bring you patch 1.20a so you can all enjoy the game more.

Thanks so much for all the feedback and encouraging words. Even the opinions that sound harsh, I believe it’s because of the love for FFXIV, so I will continue to do my best!

I mentioned this yesterday, but I have put together the base adjustment plans, so we are planning to address this after further discussion tomorrow morning.

I’m going to try and be as quick as possible, so please hang in there.

We have adjusted all of the content specs first thing this morning, and each development lead is working on implementation. We will be performing our related checks today and tomorrow QA will make their checks and adjustments.

From tomorrow on we will be continuing work on 1.20a along with other items, so I will be sure to let you all know about any progress.
