The ONE Deal-Breaking Feature You MUST Have

[Eclipse]

I hope to play but there is one deal breaker for me:

Deal Breaker: If all of my long term friends whom I consider family quit or do not play.
Result: I will take up gardening.

These are the top complaints of individuals I have spoken to who refuse to touch the game as it is now:
Lag, latency, lack of content, lack of creativity, lack of LS loyalty (Fixed with Free Companies), no pets, lack of mount variety, lack of character creation choices, no barber shop, cut and paste environment, boring environments, 8 person ONLY content, instance only end game content, no competition, power leveling, too hard to catch up to end game friends, no AH, UI slowness, lacking of NPC interaction and movement equating to a very lifeless looking game.

They have explained to me that there are other MMO's (F2P or Otherwise) which better meet expectations and needs. Yes, you cannot make everyone happy but I think a well balanced game is easy to achieve.

I enjoy the game now for what it is, I have complaints... sure, but if I have no one to play with then I have no reason to play. No one item would make or break it for me. Though I think if they don't fix the Lag / Latency there should be an uproar.

on topic
I dont really have any deal breaker, since I have hope on SE
Yes, SE have dissapointed me with the lagging and random DC, but Ive found my way to handle it

You deal is already broken, because you allowed yourself to hope.

Thank you for posting exactly what I'm thinking. The world is possibly the most important part of an MMO for me, and I feel like this is the most disappointing aspect of XIV in its current state. I really hope 2.0's world delivers!

I also agree with people who are pointing out the server problems. There is a lot of missing functionality due to the current server system, such as in-game mail and a unified marketplace/AH. The devs say that all of this will be fixed, and I believe them. But what I'm most concerned about is the responsiveness of the battle system. Yoshida has said recently that it will be fast and fluid in 2.0; if he's right, then I think battling in XIV 2.0 will be a completely new experience. I've got my fingers crossed.

They really said that or are you making that up?

Sounds really good but surely that doesn't mean THIS battle system does it?
It's either the best news ever or worst case scenario: they mean this battle system by that statement.

I remember him saying it in a recent interview at the Japan Expo. *goes to dig it up*

EDIT: Found it!


MP : Regarding the Gameplay, what should expect current players when 2.0 gets released? Are changes planned regarding the battle system or synthesis?

Yoshida : For the battle, it's going to be really faster and speedy, you will be experiencing a completely new game. Combo routes are changing and also, Battle Regimen which we have stopped for the current version, we'll bring that back in the new version. That's going to be really dynamic and completely different. Not only the new combos, but also the current contents like gathering, synthesising, it's going to be completely different, I'm sure you will enjoy the new experience.

Ignoring the fact that you are exceptionally rude, I'll let it slide for now.

Shayla is in my Linkshell, and she is a European player. Balmung has no Euro linkshells, so she is online during the AM when most american are working and very few people can get online. I've gotten to watch Shayla work hard on her character, get garuda ready and hamlet ready, and see her never get to go to any of those events we run because of her playing time. Our LS just can't accomidate her playing time very well, and it sucks
Shayla is nice and sweet and lovable and good at the game, why did you have to be euro shayla!!!


I can't live without: Interesting combat. Give me back skillchains >.>

Can't he/she try to change server??

Deal breaker: If it ends up being just like every other MMO out there.

my deal breaker is if i can't marry krausus in game... jk . I honestly have no real deal breaker I will play the game and if I don't like how it is I won't play it it anymore if I like it I will keep playing. there isn't just one thing that will keep me from playing the game which to me seems silly you don't want to look at the game for just one point but as the whole. It's why even though I loathe the leveling system of ffII I will try to still play it because there has to be more to it han just leveling up the weapons. (i hope that's understandble)
