Please enhance instead of delete

[Daniolaut]

It's possible, but without deleting things, it means there are more things to manage, and there is a certain point to where it becomes too much to manage properly.

Also, certain changes requires deletion due to the nature of the change.

In conclusion, deletion definitely has its place in the development of this game. It's not actually a good thing if they just enhance without deleting anything as it would actually hinder some enhancement.

I don’t disagree, but we’re at a point where there isn’t much of what makes this game a RPG left. They are bleeding subs while ignoring complaints that have been on going since 2.0

They have r fixed housing and haven’t fixed Praetorium.

Sure it’s going to take work, but passionate people don’t mind going work.

But again, we’re losing content at a rapid pace.

Additional dungeons, deep dungeons, portions of map dungeons (5 doors instead of 7), entire map dungeons (thief maps), things are getting homogenized (SCH/AST/WHM), content isn’t getting expanded (too long to list), new content is coming out unfinished (GNB/DNC, Hrothgar/Viera)

What’s replacing all of it?

“Explorer mode” and “Sticker mode.”

To me that’s fluff, not “content.”

[Daniolaut]

Let me pull up your post again.



Particularly this section: "So if I can "come up" with ideas such as to add "Hard mode" and "Very Hard mode" and add these options to the menu, in a matter of seconds with very little thought, I can only imagine what the development team, who are experienced experts, could come up with, if they had as much of a burning passion for FFXIV as I do."

I'm not sure if you know this, but gloating you don't know anything about a subject and then going "so if it's easy for me it should be easy for them" as a conclusion, it just doubly shows you don't know what you're talking about and that we shouldn't take you seriously in the slightest. Sarcastically writing down "come up" and then claiming you love the game while implying the devs don't share that same passion, well... I'll let you think about whether or not it makes you look good in the slightest.

Was the other guy's post insulting? Yeah, I'll not deny that, but it's more or less putting into words what we're all thinking.

I thought I made it especially clear I know exactly what I’m talking about.

I known this game extremely well.

Here are just more examples. I cannot list every single thing and explain their significance. I would like to assume people have basic common sense and can piece together what’s being said. But considering the conclusion you drew that I “don’t know what I’m talking about” and “shouldn’t be taken seriously” seems to imply no logical reasoning will begin to help.


The floating bottle of Pearl Lane.
Took like 1-2 years to fix.

The dancing shadow of Ishgard.
(Only happens at certain times of the day so I can’t say if it’s been fixed yet. It wasn’t fixed for at least 1-2 years if ever.)

Dragoon’s sprint animation.

Housing.

The Praetorium.

Again. Is this even helping? Do I still sound clueless?

Are there only “impossible answers Square-Enix can never fix these things”?

DRG’s sprint animation cant be fluid like Monks?

They can’t creat new battle leves or quests with varying difficulty even though that system literally already exists in both level sync’d quests and difficulty setting in battle leves?

This can’t be done?

Are you the only ones who are allowed to be sarcastic?

You all LITERALLY say “delete monk” and get taken seriously so SE goes and completely reworks monk but it’s “impossible” to make the game more engaging, impactful and rewarding, using systems that are already in place?

This “delete monk” talk is praised and accepted, but if I ask for an option to turn off the absolutely pointless black box pop-up text” I’m labeled a troll. lol

Come on.

I don't have to quote anything else to show my point.

People aren't going to care what you have to say if you're being arrogant and insufferable while you're saying it, no matter how right or wrong you are. Please be a bit more humble.

Yes I recognize that's ironic coming from someone who has this issue as well.

"I know nothing about what's actually involved in game dev, but I honestly believe my completely uneducated opinion on the difficulties of adding this things I threw at the wall with no ability to look at the underlying source code has any validity."

Actually let me respond to this properly.

Your logic. Is really really bad. Like really bad. Horrible in fact.

How?

1. I purposefully said that "I dont know anything" because I knew this would be the argument.

2. Do you take your car to a mechanic to change a flat tire?

I am an individual whom is very well rounded. I dont need to know how to melt metals, run automotive machinery, or the air compression ratio's of a combustion engine to even do more involved work on a motor vehicle beyond changing a flat tire. Such as replacing a starter, alternator, fuses, or even changing and trouble shooting relays. Simply understanding a car, and doing more than driving it and putting gas into it, you will gain a basic understanding of the vehicles functions.

This applies to every thing in life. Computer problems, health issues, financing, everything within someone immediate control, and yes even video games. In fact, I almost never rely on any form of service person. I do all my mechanical work, home repairs, health improvements. I literally had chronic back pain, and within less than 1 year without seeing a doctor or getting medical advice, I was able to address the issue.

I have played other games. I have played version 1.0. I know exactly what Square-Enix is capable of doing and what they arent capable of doing. In fact, I've even been impressed at times. To say "Square-Enix cant do that" just because they havent done it, doesnt mean they cant. Especially, and I stress, especially if its already been done.

So saying "delete monk" is respectable?

Also

Should I go get all my "respectful" threads and link them? Or are you just going to pretend what you say is true without backing it up.

People dont respond to tame threads. If there isnt a spark, there wont be flames.

I checked your thread on a whim and I don't know a lick about balance. I only recall seeing one other thread of yours, where you got similar responses to this one. That shows, to me, there's a pattern here.

What I have said is true for this thread, is it not? These quotes I quoted, are they or are they not from this very thread? Even now you seem more interested in starting a fight with me rather than having a discussion with anybody here. Speaking of...

If you don't wish to be seen as a troll then, well... trolls do like their flames, don't they?

[DrWho2010]

you have no way of knowing they are "bleeding" subs. that is your own guess.

[Lihtleita]

as a mnk main pls delete mnk, free me from this purgatory.

"I know nothing about what's actually involved in game dev, but I honestly believe my completely uneducated opinion on the difficulties of adding this things I threw at the wall with no ability to look at the underlying source code has any validity."

So that means that almost no one here is allowed to voice opinion on this forum.

I for one am glad they got rid of cross class skills, having to train another class to use one to it's full potential was just stupid, you should be free to play whatever class you want and not have to play a class you don't want to.
