Devs finally managed to piss me off.

[Actus]

I should start off by stating that I'm disappointed in myself for even making a thread in the G.D. forums. It is a bit hypocritical of me considering how much I publicly despise all the belly-aching that goes on in here. But I would like to vent a little in the small chance that this reaches someone with some say in the game. So, here goes...

I am thoroughly disgusted by the main content in patch 1.20b. Why on earth would, you the people developing this game, consider making such a ridiculously superfluous thing as the Goobue mount? We have Chocobos already. In the future we will even have a variety of types of Chocobos. Why was there time, effort, and resources spent to the development of the new mounts when they add no actual value to the game? I'll grant that they are aesthetically different and novel, but they look absurd! The novelty will be gone in no time at all, and people will have a useless, mentally-deficient, obese tub of vegetable fat that they can ride on.

I believe I understand the intention of the Devs for not wanting to add any content that affects the game's storyline and the future developmental plans in accordance with 2.0. But, I don't believe that the time spent on the Goobue mounts was worth your time and money. I am not a programmer. I have no demonstrable knowledge of everything entailed in making these mounts. But could your resources not have been put to making a couple of decent new monsters to kill? Nothing even too spectacular like Ifrit or Moogle, just something a little bit more difficult than the original world bosses.

It's too late to request any changes about what has happened, but I hope some notion of what I've said lands on the ears of the game's developers. If it has, thank you for listening.

Sincerely and with excited hopes for 2.0,
Actus Reus of The Order of the Blue Garter

I understand how you feel OP. I am truly losing hope, so much so, that I don't even log in anymore.

Little late to hop onto the hate train now isn't it?

It was a freaking lettered patch. Christ on a crouton! How often have we gotten content on a LETTERED patch? As for the mounts, I sincerely doubt they have been dedicating huge amounts of resources to this. Not like they didn't already have models and systems in place. You'd think this was a project that had to be created from scratch.

Yeah next time, don't think so much before you post. *wink*

[Chardrizard]

This is probably a distraction because we'll be not be getting anything for at least another 3 weeks, possibly more because big patch always delays.

Just as i said in other post this gobbue mount is only an add that you can decide to use it or not, wait for 1.21 and if you dont see what you expect by that time, then log off and wait until 2.0 or move on.

Indeed, they've stated so many times that I've lost track, that lettered patches are only little tweaks here and there. Nothing major! I'm already sick of people complaining about this small patch.

Just wait until 1.21 because that'll be the next big update.
