Thread: Instance this Instanced that! ( Pre 2.0 talk!)

Look guys, I know alot of you have been complaining about 1.0 being just a lot full of Instances ( which is true). However you have to look at Yoshi-P's perspective on the current Version of the game. Can you really expect him to put non-instanced content, on a Server Structure that can't even handle a Non-Instanced Situation? Look at it through his eyes guys for 5 mins is all i'm asking. He's trying his hardest to work with 2 games at once with barely any sleep.

It's fine to say things like " I dislike all these Instances and I wish for 2.0 to have less of them". Constructive Criticism is always welcome and will Help Yoshi-P and team to better understand your needs as gamers. Whining and complaining about it.. isn't really Criticism at all.. its just throwing your weight around towards to community to just start flame wars.

If you want SE's attention 100% anyways, giving them "Constructive Criticism" is the best and most effective feedback SE can ask for. I do my fair share of whining and complaing, and I need to do this change as well.. but if we all want a top notch FFXIV 2.0 game then this is something we need to do as Fans of FFXIV.

Thank you for your time if you took the time to read this.

Can always change that aspect.. They don't have to do cross server stuff.. and its easy to just abandon it if they wanted to do such a thing.. and it wouldn't hurt the progress of FFXIV in anyway.

Yoshi has a vision of making everything accessible and trying to limit the amount of waiting around doing nothing, people will always complain, just look at how some people complained about the new crafting changes for example.

Can please everybody, the best they can do is please the majority.

The point is yes he has a Vision and he's going to see it through, like you said can't please everybody, but you can please most people.. if this is what's pleasing most people then so be it .

Edit: and your right they won't just abandon it.. at least not without a legitimate excuse of course.. and the only one of course would be is if the Majority were against this ( if it is true that Instances are going to over run the game). SE needs to make money, and if one of them is please most of the people.. if most people are not happy with what they are doing.. they would need to adjust to the cause.

Funny timing that I read this post tonight...

WoW will have cross-server zones implemented. Essentially, they're taking the concepts of cross-server instancing and bringing it out into shared, non-instanced world zones, mixed in with what sounds like their phasing technology, based on the description they give. Very interesting idea.

They're keeping the system limited to groups of servers, and it seems like it'll be utilized in lower level and/or lower populated zones. In any case, it sorta blurs the line of what a "separate server" means.
