Instead of a graphical update, I wish they'd have spent the time on going back and fixing "the spaghetti code from 1.0" because the amount of times they've used it as an excuse not to do something or listen to player feedback is a little ridiculous. Seriously, "we can't do X because of leftover code from 1.0" is just dumb at this point. You're telling me we're 6 versions in the future and still relying on that excuse?

Granted, I don't think they've used it recently, but the point still stands.

No, the spaghetti code is not from 1.0. There is no code in game from 1.0. This is a misunderstanding on the player, from translated interviews. The issue is code from 2.0, because it was done quickly and they cobbled things together in less than 2 years, which is an insanely short dev cycle for an MMO. Also, most of the things they have said they can't do are related to memory, as in "things loaded into memory". Much of that was because of console limitations. The ps4 has 8 gigs of memory, the ps3 had 256.

Oh? That's my mistake, then. I was thinking the source of the issue was one thing when it was really another. Issue still stands regardless, they need to do better.

Is it possible, though ? I'm really asking. It doesn't seem so easy to me (unless you accept to "pause" a MMORPG for quite a long time).

Its possible, I mean wow is 20 years old and while it does have Jank a game created in 2004 has less ghost inputs and snapshotting issues then a game made in 2013.

Same I love changes.

If you don't like the job changes like I do, then refund your Dawntrail pre-orders. Send a message to the team that we are not happy with the changes being made to FFXIV's combat.

If I could not pay for later expansions and keep playing the older versions of these jobs I would but sadly CBU3 does not want to make legacy servers so I will just have to leave this game until it becomes better and I suggest you do the same!

Vote with your wallet!

Just curious how much play time you have had with the job changes.

I mean people can be critical of the changes. I know UI paradox didn't need to be removed. One of my DRK buddies told me that the MP regen shown in the media tour has been nerfed removing MP attacks and TBN uses. Tons of scholar mains have discussed how conflicting Seraphism is to scholars healing style and blatantly overpowered it is.
The only ones I agree with this is the new Jobs since we haven't touched them. But a lot of us have played the old jobs for years.

bye, you won't be missed

Not sure why I'd want to?

I mean, job changes notwithstanding - it's the new MSQ content I'm most looking forward to and I'm not sure the job changes are going to impact that element of the game overly much - certainly not at the lower levels anyway.
