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

[Syrri]

Look we all know the XIV dev team is spread thin at the moment and it's clearly due to all this focus on Ultimate and Savage content, they should just scrap all that nonsense and focus on the content that matters; Lord of Verminion

[OhNooo]

Dragonsong Ultimate has to go off without a hitch and PvP needs to be frequently updated as those are the only two things SE has going atm.

I can't wait to watch the first clear of Dragonsong. I haven't tried the new pvp yet but I'm planning on breaking out one of my healers for it. I've heard people mention that it's fun playing as healer there and how they wish they could have the same kits in pve or something similar.

Yoshi and the team have been stuck in this shell of theirs for too long time to crack it open!!! * Pulls out massive hammer*

Time to show what the Hatching-Tide is really all about

Oh no! All the money people are throwing at them softened the blow so much, Yoshida didn't even notice his tea cup shaking as he continues to cracks the whip to "motivate" the devs. (Yes, obviously, but just in case: no I'm not serious)

My of love of this game aside. Yes, its time for issues to get fixed. I was one of many who said a lotto system was bad idea. Happy its recieving such negative feedback, my sympathy to those hit by the bug. But glad that happened as well I really hope its gets the dev's attention. Its time for

-Instanced housing
-Complete review and overhaul of Healers
-Dungeons seeing more complexity,
+Trash being more mechanical.
+Less hallway feel
-Better balance between casual and hardcore crafting.
-Avoiding of the rollercoaster feeling pacing of EW story. Ya, like the story but its pacing felt like a rollercoaster.
-veira and hoth getting proper attention.
-More effort put into curving botting and rmt..

plot twist: rmt is how the devs make money under the table

Um, no? Clearly the only content that matters is Mahjong. /s

I guess this is what happens when they let the popularity get to their head? They start thinking they can half ass everything and people will continue to stay and kiss up to them. Seeing this community’s history i don’t blame them for thinking that way but…my god.

I'm not sure if to say the devs themselves as much as the higher ups at SE, but someone in there is definitely thinking "hey, it worked for Blizzard for 15 years, and now we're as/more popular, it'll be fiiiiine"

Between the healer problems for 6 years being ignored, the recent Hrothgar problems where they waited patiently for 3 years and got literal shit, to the horrid job design in 6.1, the pretty controversial story of EW, to now the housing system just imploding on itself. Do the devs just not care anymore? The game is seeing it’s peak, the game is bringing in more money than ever, and yet we’re somehow getting more broken systems. I guess this is what happens when they let the popularity get to their head? They start thinking they can half ass everything and people will continue to stay and kiss up to them. Seeing this community’s history i don’t blame them for thinking that way but…my god. The game is taking such a downward spiral. At this point i’m expecting Ultimate to have some major errors and that would be the icing on the cake.

Ouch. I feel they're going downhill at this point.

I wish the employers that developed the mahjong on their free time used that same energy to refit all the headgers on hrothgars and viera heads
