Patch Notes Up

If you like WoW so much, why are you here and not playing it and posting in their forums?

Cause I don't. It just had better pvp and a better way of dealing with maintenance is all. Just because i play this doesnt mean I can't go point out things another game does better.

I'm well aware of other games that do several things better. I still enjoy this game's PvP regardless. Have you even tried it, or are you just repeating what you've seen others say?

I've tried both, and post skill-prune WoW's is definitely better. Pre-4.0 had given the edge to XIV despite server desync screwing up a lot of the gameplay and maps having a lack of variety just because burst, CC, and counter play options were a lot better.

With 9 buttons, though? I'll stick to WoW BGs (lul Alterac doe).

8 hours maintenance is nothing. It is not only to apply patches. Maintenance is for updating server software, apply patches, fix any problem, claer caches/optimize system, restart game servers, test everyone is correct, check backups, etc. Anyone with computer knowledge knows how server works. It is not a single server, it is not a simple computer, it is a complex infrastructure.

It is not just "apply a patch". It is not a desktop windows system. It is far more complex than that.

I can't comment on WoW's PvP as I've never played it. I imagine it's good, at least from things I've heard.

My only issue is when people bash on PvP in this game, because it's the popular thing to do, or simply because of what they've heard, not what they've experienced for themselves. That's not always the case of course, and like I said, I've tried PvP in other games and I enjoy those for those games. At its worst now, and its best then, I still enjoy XIV PvP.

I'd say that the main difference is that wow has a larger pvp audience and the game was really built for pvp from the ground up, while FF is creating a PvP system bit by bit, by mostly making trials and errors, because of that PvP is not something that entices players to buy the game and is more like a side option.
That said I do think that they realized sooner than Wow that they had to split PvP and PvE to try and keep the two balanced without becoming crazy. On wow on numerous occasions PvE had some nasty changes that were born from PvP nerfs

Can you people not do other stuff in the meantime?
Or do you sit in front of your gaming system rocking back and forth, saying can i log in yet?

An issue in Deltascape V4.0 and Deltascape V4.0 (Savage) wherein damage over time from Blizzard III was higher than intended.

Well that's a bit of an understatement for a factor 10 damage increase that would oneshot everyone hit. XD Glad it's fixed (though it was also kind of funny - never seen people get the hang of a mechanic THAT quickly. XD)

"higher than intended"...yeah, right. Probably set like that so people would be forced into learning it(we need more instances of this type if "mistake" so people learn the mechanics and aren't carried >.>)
