We need better comunication with the Community team

[Rokke]

when Yoshi has something to say to us he has a translator so the info crosses languages as close as they can get it across. If this is just him and Sokken hopping NA servers for shiggles, I don’t expect much more than the two emoting in a mob of players.

So... a question, since Yoshi P has never graced our server with his presence before. What are these events like? Other than a mad gathering of people. Do they go to a specific place?

Since theres no language barrier for him and the JP players, these server walks work like Q&As. Every now and then he'll start a pf and he + whoever is fast enough to join run a trial together.

Well well

Sadly it's just the concert, but it's a start

edit: This creates a precedent which we must not forget

Yoshida had shown up on non JP servers before. The problem is that its not really that often and I am not really sure if they gave much informations on such visits. Also I am quite sure that they will have stuff to do there and I am quite sure that a lot of players will just want to have screenshots with him and not ask about negative views of the community.

Its great that they do that from time to time but like others have said, its mostly just promotion.

Someone on reddit did kinda point out that it would be funny if they got a lot of connection problems. :') Maybe they would finally change something.

*rubs hands together Grinch-like* We must get them to queue for a Frontlines roulette....but HOW?!

In all seriousness though, I wish they did these types of things more often, just for fun without promoting anything in particular.

Had no idea that existed, when I asked if there was inventory threads made in the past how come no one pointed me to this? furthermore the bigger question, why is there a near 100 page thread with 221 likes on it go unanswered? This only proves even "megathreads" don't get SE's attention. I even searched "inventory space" for thread title and saw nothing like this.

^
The only thing they really added since this thread was made... was.. chobobo bag? the beta glam dresser, and a little to no impact chobobo bag? The only change worth noting is the 999 item stack thing, but this even went in detail about overuse of repetitive items. How did this get ignored and forgotten after a while?

Then "retainer management" is being paywalled?!?!?!?! Where does it say "I will pay an extra 5 dollars every month because SE rushed out 2.0?" Why are we giving them a pass for turning 1.0 around? Even though yeah it must of been amazing, the thing is, it was still rushed, and we now have to, pay for it now, literally.

And an expanded inventory and armoury on Stormblood's release. Don't forget about that (since that thread was created before SB came out). They also replaced Accuracy with Direct Hit and Parry with Tenacity, put beast tribe tokens in the currency tab and stuff about housing.

They didn't do everything requested in that thread, but it's pretty silly to say things were left unanswered (I don't believe they ever posted in the Unplayable Latency thread back in the 2.0 days, yet they still tried to fix it on 2.1's release).

Tried is not fixing is it?

I refuse to pay 5 extra dollars a month because they did not succeed in what they "tried" to attempt. Also we have a ton of things that needs to be in that currency tab. I find it insulting how little they can change and have people go "oh was better then before so it is ok" (then turn around charge extra on things we should of hand since 2.0 but ofc didn't because of rushing it), hence the line I said. No it is not fixed, Stop charging us more and more because you rushed out 2.0~!!! enough is enough, OVERHAUL THE CORE!!! I do not car how hard it is or how much cost it is, reap what you sow, you shouldn't of rushed out 2.0 then.

This thread is about communication, so why in the heck a thread like that ignored? (while still not fixing the issue) Do not forget this:

Reason 4, mostly uninteresting side quest for me.
I had always loved DOL/DOH but the limited inventory space limited my ability to craft and gather. I tried to sell these crafting mats but it sells so slowly on the Market board that all 20 slots on all of my four retainers a full. I didn’t want to trash these crafting mats because I might need them again in the future. So stop crafting and gathering altogether.

THey are not giving us enough space for the amount of items this game has to be able to craft effectively, esp when you are making that your main thing and just craft all day. It is a real pain getting items from x or y because something sold and not everything is in your inventory for that item because you do not have enough room. Then you make that item and you have to switch out materials again because something else sold.

It is real hard to get your point across when there is so few that craft like that, not understanding what it is like. We need more room, we need more room for fish bait, and cul in general. Like that thread said, start removing items if it is too hard on their servers, but no they do not because they want to charge another sub fee for basic UI features that would of been in this game since 2.0 I did not insist on rushing out 2.0, Quality > quantity/ speed.

The armory expand is not an achievement, you either do that, or do not release no jobs, that is literally a REQUIREMENT to keep the game playable.

"battle gear sub stat efficiency"
Still sucks, Now you have 2/3 caster classes not wanting spell speed and yet most of the gear has spell speed on it, why? Why is there such a bias for BiS BLM only?

FC chest is still a huge problem

I really had it with retainers and all the fees:
This means it should be looked into getting rid of retainers holding on items completely, give us a real bank, and just have retainers do VENTURES ONLY.

That should be done at this point. Stop making us pay extra for 2.0 being rushed out.

I think it is.

Actually, I think this is probably the area SE really needs to solicit feedback on. It's understandable that they'd be nervous holding back on development for 6-12 months to fix back-end architectural issues. Speaking to the community is how they get permission to do precisely that. I would vote in a heartbeat for a year-long moratorium on content, in exchange for the back-end issues being entirely resolved and 'server limitations' being a phrase we never heard of or thought of again. It could be that 90% of the player base feels the same way, and it also could be that 90% of the player base doesn't. I don't know, SE doesn't know, other players don't know - and so we're left in this frustrating sort of cycle, with everyone in the dark.

Hopefully if anything comes out of Eureka, it's the need for formalized player feedback and suggestions. Give us surveys, have Q&A sessions, I don't care how it's done. Just do something.

Where is the communication?

You know what, you've convinced me. This game is garbage, the devs are the absolute worst, and there is no hope for the foreseeable future that this is ever going to improve. I'm done, My sub runs out in less than 10 days and I have already canceled the auto-renew. Its a shame, i did enjoy it playing but in light of such damning evidence, i'm out...

Thanks for all your hard work here on the forums Vstarstruck.

That is not my goal. My goal is to improve this game, so I can come back to a franchise I legit like.

I bought plenty of stuff just because of the "SE" name on it (more so square soft), but now I question such things.

I do realize this post is possibly sarcastic, and if it is, done in very poor taste. I do not think this is the time and place for such a thing. I also wanted be clear what my goals are, encase someone does get the wrong idea on why I am here.
