Disappearing npc(s) and players.

[Titans]

Being that I am paying a subscription, I would like more quality in the product that I buy. Like so many I want the game to have success in it's release/push for 2.0. I understand the devs are working more to this goal, but the problems on this current game still needs to be address. We have content and instance raids, but the game is lacking in quality. Here is my biggest grape. When I'm in town or doing hamlet defense; things just tends to disappear. Do you know how frustrating it is, when you can't target because there's nothing to target! So what if you give us content you can't play correctly. I'm asking for customer's satisfaction for a product that we invest our money and time.

I'm trying not to gripe*

That's not the only poorly written part, however I'm almost certain loading times will be better with the new engine.

I think he's referring to how players will randomly disappear for a little bit. I've noticed it while in Ul'dah.

I think it is related to the limitations of I think 45 players on the screen at once. Not sure, though.

All thier resources are tied into 2.0. if you dont understand that its best you unsub till 2.0

Are you attacking me because you're bored or just a jerk by nature? IJS

It's an engine restriction and one of the main focuses for 2.0. The current client just can't handle more than 40 characters/objects at a time.

what imp said. it happens to everyone in towns especially uldah if you can or have a program go and look at your fps inside the city versus outside the city... huge difference.

Just to point out first ... the current game version and client are going offline forever in about ... less than 2 months now. Given that, don't expect to see any system side changes of relevance in patch 1.23 ... it'll probably be almost 100% content. Burning huge man hours into system changes that will be thrown out in 6 weeks time doesn't make sense.

Secondly, the issues you're mentioning here are issues that legitimately can't be fixed in the current client in the first place. That's why 2.0 exists at all. But i agree, it's really annoying, @_@ ... and often i think so myself, had Tanaka been given a couple more years of development time, he might have been able to realise a quality 'game', but two years or twenty could not ever have overcome a crappy client. This game was doomed years before it even launched just for that. Thankfully ... mercifully ... we're getting a new client. *_*
