What is going on with Square Enix and the 14 team?

[Theodric]

Absolutely!!

I am looking forward to cross DC travel so I can find you Theodric (Matthieu) for man hugs from Odin -> Cerberus as I do like your forum posts :-D

I'm glad someone likes my posts!

But, yes, if and when DC travel is added I'm all for some sort of in-game meet and greet!

If you had been so kind as to read what we were talking about, you would have seen a conversation about balance, not bugs.

That bug seems to throw the WHM balance even further. What?

[Kuritzkale]

That makes two of us

Me too. Quite a few nice people on these forums that remind me the ff14 community isn't completely lost and insane

I didn't think I'd be wishing for the days back when my only concerns were jellybean hrothgar yet here we are.

Its not Worlo yet but the Worlo players know what its like to be burned by garbage developers and will recognize decline super fast. All my buddies quit FFXI when Adoulin came out and our relic weapons were made useless and they all quit WoW in 6.1 with the trash patch that came out. Im pissed cause my lotto was off by 1 on the large house and I already have a good house.

relic weapons are still good, you can further your relic weapons in FFXI now

also seekers of Adoulin story was so good, I really enjoyed it alot






ah and she's so adorable

Agree with OP.
I play since 2016. This game is dear to my heart, because it’s my first MMO, and because I met my husband in Eorzea in 2016 as well, we moved together and are still happy to this day.
This game is quite like a second home for me, at least I feel at home in the so familiar places of Eorzea.
BF and I were prising this game very high. Beautiful mmo, great community in general and NO BUGS. (This is why what is happening now is quite a choc to me honestly.)
The team laughing when showing Hrothgar’s new haircuts, knowing it’s bad (I’m not speaking of Viera and the 150€ ish I spent in Fantasias because of them) the statement about the ultimates… Yoshida wasn’t like this before.
I’m sad, that’s all.

I mean, do they though? We keep hearing about issues and problems that have been around for literal years. The game going down the toilet for years. The developers ignoring the players for years. And yet, those same players with those same complaints are still playing (and paying).

It's most likely going to be the good old rousing round of complaints and then people proceed to do absolutely nothing about it. Can't stop paying (even though they most likely avoid actually playing the game to the best of their abilities since they're bored out of their minds) after such a heavy investment of money and time. Or whatever...

It's an each to their own taste, at this point we're just arguing tastes which is a needless debate in and of itself.

Since you didn't really take the luxury of reading my other posts. I'll give you a summary. The criticisms and issues alone are not where the melodrama stems from, it is what people do with those criticisms and issues, ultimately. Once again, this comes from a community that is notorious for having the expectancy that all criticisms must be homogenous, some even going as far to say otherwise is white knighting. I'll go on but I don't really fancy repeating myself. It's had some messy implementations, yes, and this is as per my post largely as a result of them spreading themselves too thin. Refer to the second paragraph. Barring these few messy implementations, I've personally been having a blast. But I don't think they need me telling them it is messy when they've already had to make a public statement on the Lodestone about their housing issues.

I don't think you should be the one calling out people as being childish, given your opening statement, really.

For saying adventurer plates are neat for weirdos that are obsessed with this crap? I don't know man, who even asked for this and where does this even fit into the game. It is interesting don't get me wrong but it feels like we are getting to an extent where this game is become less of an MMORPG game and more of a fashion show at times. And people praise it which makes them go more into this direction while other aspects of the game suffer. I wonder if they didn't spend time on adventurers plates, if they would have tested the lotto system 2 or 3 more times before releasing and getting themselves in this crappy situation altogether.

And I don't think it is true that all criticism must be homogenous, I have seen good criticism, I have seen bad criticism. Is what I personally get sick of on these forums is when some one gives criticism, and players want to give an excuse for the criticism, or tells others to just quit the game.

I mean look at the samurai community, they are all going as far as to say the class was nerfed. Sure it lost kaiten which is less fun to some, but the aDPS of samurai has not changed significantly enough to say this class was nerfed to the ground. Personally I think if Yoshi P had plans to remove kaiten it should have waited until the next expansion, or at least given detailed explanations as to what the goal is with these class changes this expansion as from this patch a lot of things felt like half ass decision making. Minuet turns to pitch perfect that is just stupid. So I think these changes warrant some criticism on poor changes to classes. Sure call this the best patch, but in my opinion this patch doesn't feel much different than any x.1 patch, and if anything it really outlines some issues that should be addressed in there development process.

Know what I want for glamour, I want a poop emote. So when DC traveling comes out I can come poop in your yard assuming you have a house, if not then I guess I won't do that.

Yes, you're in no state nor position to say what people should be invested in within this game. Equally, I could call some people freaks who are overly obsessed and clung to the idea of difficulty creeps, or whatever content you may be interested in - Just doesn't really make for constructive debate, not to mention it's fairly counterproductive.. I think the very fact that adventurer plates have been so well received by the general community pretty much renders your point moot. Doesn't matter if the community asked for it or not. It was well-received, you didn't like it, and as per your own words stop being a child and calling other peoples weirdos for getting a piece of content they enjoy and you haven't. Once again involving in needless 'what if'.

Thank you for agreeing with my point. Criticisms shouldn't be homogenous, no. My point is that people take it a step further and wallow away in insults at disagreements. This is generally speaking at this point, much as you have already done so by calling peoples weirdos for enjoying the content you don't.

Are you even reading what you write at this point? You see, this is a prime example of being childish. But by all means LOL.

Honestly, at this point, I'm starting to miss MPK.

Yup definitely want that poop emote. I am coming to poop in your yard, in 3 months in patch 6.18, if we get the poop emote I am requesting.
