SE better do something or the game will drop dead

[knite23]

Yeah, I'd much rather let everyone else pay for something I plan to enjoy later. Let those other suckers fund my enjoyment. Must be that Gen.Y thing.

.....you know the game was never meant to be free right and were not funding your enjoyment we are funding our own enjoyment and supporting a brand/company that we like. as soon as you come back you will be putting your credit card info back onto your account to catch up on the fun we already had cause from the looks of it you havent even beatin any of the primals yet ooops Roasted <3

How...how can you mention 2.0, but then tell them they need to do something to make people come back.

I don't...I just...

I think what he was trying to say was: Can you bring them back sooner than 2013? Because if you can't, then I'm going to quit too.

That's the problem. At the rate this game releases content it's very dreadful.

They release 1 fight every 3 months with horrendous drop rates to keep you busy until the next one. I don't really understand what takes so long in that regard. IE, in 3 months WoW releases several dungeons, with 30+ bosses all scripted to do different things. Sure most are won with the "tank and spank" strategy, and only a few require a lot of thought ... but it's still things to do.

We get one dungeon or so in 1.21, and then if you read the timeline the next boss fight is April or May against Legatus.

So in 6 more months you'll have 2 more fights. When put in that perspective, you'd have, at level 50, in 1 years time, 5 different scripted bosses (Batraal, Ifrit, Moogle, Legatus, Dungeon X in 1.21). Well, another if you want to count Ogre. There are also regular notorious monsters around the world ... sure...

On launch day SWTOR has about 1000. Heck just about 80 quests in its main storyline all w/ cutscenes and voiceovers.
We don't even really know for sure when our main storyline will get another quest.

They just need to pick up the pace. We all want this game to do well but when you start to look at their timeline for the new year, and compare it to last year, it still feels like this game isn't coming along very quickly. In the broad sense, not to discredit the incredible effort put forth in the recent patches. It's a ton of work, but the pace of content is dreadful. What happened to a patch every 2 weeks?

Oh and part of what I think really slows the progress down is their sort of ... fear of reusing models and textures for gear. Yeah sure it's annoying in most MMOs that a lot of gear looks the same .... but would you rather have 5 items to choose from so everyone looks the same anyways, or hundreds of items that may sorta look the same but have vastly different stats based on where or how they were obtained?

Everyone already looks the same in 14 right now, every mage, and tank, and dps, wear the same armor and use the same weapons. So who cares if we get a texture swap.

Please, don't bring up the Titanic II SW:TOR launch here.

FFXIV has it's share of problems, but other MMOs aren't part of that list. I'm pretty sure most of the folks who decided to pay pre-2.0 are going to stay. The game is dead to the gaming press and community, and most of them are going to take (hopefully) 2.0 as a completely new game.

Sure TOR has great graphics for a 2004 2011 game, a good representation of the SW world, great character customization, super original abilites not seen in other games, a successful marketing campaign, and of course great review scores all over the web.

This is most likely a WoW killer, with it's increasing player base.

Don't worry FFXIV is in the lower leagues. Have fun playing TOR if you decide to cancel your FFXIV account, I'll have fun with my beta game.

while i agree, i don't expect and understand it ain't happening till 2.0. but i still agree with the op. i not had true fun with this mmo since they destroyed the few hnm's we did have and dkp was droped and so was real linkshell events. they need this type of stuff for the game to succeed. lets hope 2.0 is a miracle lol.

as for swtor yeah it has huge amount of quests but most are garbage outside of the main story line. i just spacebar threw it all and not read a thing outside of just trying to pick right answer to get points for my companions. already caped 50 though with the pl'ing in ffxiv is worse then that. people have max purple gears for pve and pvp already ...then what? reroll another toon? the game won't kill anything ..specially ffxiv if it goes in route with ffxi. if ffxiv is going towards this same type of easy casual ..get everything done in a month mentality then 2.0 will never save it from death. it will end up with 1 f2p server like dcu and all the other garbage mmo's. that is if SE would be willing to humiliate the final fantasy title any more with that.

Okay, the argument at large is just beyond me, but given the only primal fight I've done was a single run on easy mode Ifrit, and I've been playing all but daily.. basically since launch but for a few weeks off after 1.18, I can certainly speak up here.

That.. basically has to be complete crap by default or I've just had Forra sitting on his butt for a year.
