What do you think....

[Lintora]

I have been looking through these forums for a few weeks now and i have seen a good mix of people both bashing and giving real opinions. I would love to see what people really thing SE should do to make this game better. Looking at SE's plan for 2.0 gives a small taste of what they plan on doing but nothing really specific.

What do you want SE to do to improve FFXIV? Anything from game mechanics to storyline.

Please be nice, just looking for improvement opinions.

Wipe all characters at 2.0

Where is the dislike button?

Wipe all characters at 2.0

Either you're a troll hiding behind alt character and your just trying to stir things up

or

You're a player who's max level is 2, asking for a whipe.

Either way, fail.

I give a lot of suggestions and input on this game.. because I truly want to make it better, and frankly the game needs it

But to be honest I don't want to design the game I play.... I want to just play someone else' vision and innovation
I want to experience the creativity of someone else' mind...
I only post constructive suggestions to offset so many bad suggestions I read on here

Think about it... if you designed an MMO.. completely.. wrote the story... designed the battles... came up with the battle formulae and stats.... playing it wouldn't be nearly as fun....

So I hesitantly post good ideas... hoping SE will adopt them in it's own particular way

In response to the OP...
I'd say all the problems are known

Battle: Battle system is unfinished. Jobs, in depth battle regimen, more reliance on incaps, damage type (blunt, piercing, slashing) should matter more. Most, if not all of this is coming soon (before 2.0 even). I actually have A LOT of faith in Akihiko Matsui

Server: Lag/latency and the way your position is relayed to the client are atrocious. SE knows this and has pledged to fix this with the new server structure, and yet, I feel like it's being down played... It is THE MOST IMPORTANT thing to fix with this game... It is the main "2.0 will fail if this isn't fixed" issue... I know they are working on it, but I don't think they realize how important it is. FFXIV battle is much faster than that of FFXI, so lag issues tend to just punch a player in the face

Content: Not even going into that... this is the one area where I will say Yoshi knows what needs to be done... I feel so confident that he is on it. Im not even slightly worried about content

To be honest, it doesn't matter what you say because this is the ENGLISH Lodestone forums and SE has a plan. They aren't seeking out the forums opinion on how to create their game.

Why does this thread pop up so much? 2nd one today I believe.

Make endgame drop materials for crafters to make the epic lootz.

They need to do what they are doing. The game is improving. If it had come out at LAUNCH in the condition it is in today half of the whiners would not be complaining at all and honestly we'd be doing that much better considering we'd be over a year into things and rather than working on FIXING it they'd have been delivering content.

That's just my opinion.

Put up extra surveillance cameras and have alarms blare every time Tanaka approaches the ff14 team in any way >_>

In all seriousness, I'd like to see more open-world elements like the beastmen strongholds.

Its funny you said that...

I do think Tanaka was on to something in 1 aspect....
before the game launched they were asking him about open world vs instanced content...
and he said "We've combined them both, Guild leves are open world but the actual MOBs are yours alone, just as if they were instanced"

Now I know guildleves became monotonous and repetitive... but what they represent... open world instanced content could be a good compromise for a lot of people if it was done right....
