Thread: 6.2 Patch Notes

I’d be ok with FFXIV going offline for a year if that meant if those key issues were finally solved.

Thats nice. But I seriously doubt anyone else would.

se seem to be longstanding issues that have been used to excuse why we can’t have instanced housing or the glamour dresser being in the state it’s in, so fix them

...you really dont have a clue, do you?

That money can easily come from projects that FFXIV itself has likely funded like Forspoken and the Avengers games.

Oh yes, speaking of hardware, you DO know that even though most of the pandemic is more or less over, the backlog on hardware, semiconductors, servers, other infrastructure equipment is still in close to three years behind?

Manufacturing companies, facilities are still ramping up, the slam stop COVID created will take YEARS to get back to pre COVID stockpiles? That staff are STILL at a premium, as a lot of the staff they laid off have moved into other industries, other companies, retired, died?

Production came to a screeching halt, getting back up to anywhere near normal wont be until at least 2025. Losing their experienced, trained staff has crippled some companies, and they are still scrambling to recover.

Kulik: We’ve heard there are as many as 90,000 job openings in semi that are unfilled. This industry isn’t immune to the same challenges other industries are facing, and maybe even less so than others. You need a specific kind of competence. It requires a lot of training. There’s not enough engineering coming out of schools in the U.S. to satisfy that. Folks will have to be retrained. They’ll have to pivot. Or we’ll have to wait for folks to come out of school to be absorbed into the industry.

Thats NINETY THOUSAND skilled manufacturing personnel they still need, not to mention the skillsets and training needed to even begin to approach norms.

and here

It takes years to build a fab. Intel just started building two new facilities, Fab 52 and 62 in Arizona, at a cost of $20 billion. But they won't begin mass manufacturing until the second half of 2024, said Keyvan Esfarjani, leader of Intel's manufacturing and supply chain.

Aveyond, Ill make this as simple as I can.

Getting a HUGE supply chain system like server hardware, semiconductors back to where it was pre 2019 is akin to getting behind a 400,000 tonne freighter and pushing it with a single tractor. COVID has wrecked that industry, so what you think can be easily done?

Is dependent on industries that havent reached pre 2019 levels and wont for YEARS. Deloitte says 2023...thats an optimistic projection, my money says halfway into 2024..or 2025 if the economic situation craters.

So no, it cant be fixed 'easily"..NOTHING is that simple.

NOTHING.
