LOLPATCH 1.16a

[Zkieve]

O poor poor guy ... the guy released a letter less than two weeks ago. What do you expect him to do? Hold our hand every day? Kiss you a good night? They said we will probably get more information about battle changes this week. They stated 1.17 that was scheduled to be released end of March is pushed back for about two weeks. They even told us they will release companies information just before the release of 1.17. What else do you want, seriously?

While i agree people need to be patient, the new team have not done anythin but words and promises so far.tweak and patches.

What do we need so people shut up ?A real update.How soon? well that depends on the dev team.I rather get somethin polished and engaging than more of the same unfinished garbage they have been feeding us since release.

Promises , letters , etc. Is just that , promises and letters.I think the complains are justified, but the complainers need to have patience , game wont magically fix itself.We definitely dont need more unfinished stuff in ffxiv.then again they need to hurry . We keep loosing people everyday.Time will tell.


edit; Can we have 1 thread without more of the earthquake talk ?

We keep loosing people everyday.

And pray tell, how exactly are you determining that? Since lately I'm seeing more and more people actually come back (many of which bored by rift, mind you). In the last few days Mysidia has been what I would define actually crowded. So much that I had to restart "ambushing" the battlewarden as soon as it appeared to avoid being left out every single time, and it's hard to find a place to grind without competition.

I would say that the server population has at the very least stabilyzed, if it isn't actually increasing.

Drop the shield once in a while we are on the same side.

Absolutely. I am not saying the game doesn't need BIG UPDATES and changes. I am just saying it is not going to happen in a day or two. It is also not going to happen in a week or two. It is going to take time. We complained about Square Enix rushing the release of Final Fantasy XIV and we were right. They rushed it, fucked it up and they even accepted their mistake.

Now they are trying to fix their mistake. New producer, new people at strategic spots in the development team. They promised us stuff. They told us to wait. They told us they are working on stuff. They asked our opinion and they said they will work on almost everything we said they should change.

However, all the people that said Square Enix rushed things now all of a sudden wants Square Enix to rush patches. Make up your freaking mind. If that disaster in Japan didn't happen we would have had patch 1.17 by now. Well it happened, get over it. They announced the events will push everything back for about two weeks. Patch 1.16a was scheduled to be released somewhere in the middle of March, instead it was released at the end of March. Patch 1.17 is pushed back to early April. What is the problem? I really do not see it.

I totally agree the game needs changed, the game needs updates, big ones, but hell why rush it while we were complaining for months and cursing Square Enix for rushing the release in the first place?

The human nature is really strange ....

We dont need rushed out content.I completly agree.But the complains (while they serve no porpoise) are justified.
The game is in a bad state , people complain and will keep complaining until that changes.
Is it pointless ? yea definitely, but like you said it is human nature .Idk who i find more annoying the people who complain no stop or the ones who think they are SE police and must act like SE defense force or something. i think moderation to both sides would be the ideal scenario. but thats unlikely to happen.

I think the best approach would be if you think is pointless , then ignore it and dont post there.But that would be to much to ask, sometimes discussions like this can be fun ^^.Im having a hard time not posting on the threads from kilta by example.but i wont for the sake of the community XD.

Ivar, we are not worried about Square-Enix's stability. We are worried that the MMO to which we want to devote most of our free time will never be revived. I find the whole idea of an MMO fascinating - that you're playing in an open world with thousands of other people doing their own thing. I don't want to commit hours of my week to an extremely low population MMO.

I want FFXIV to succeed, but I worry that it will miss its opportunity for media spotlight. There aren't more than 200 people logged into Besaid at any given time now... It's been 6 months and already we need to merge servers - and there's only 8 zones in this game...

[BelgianRofl]

^I am also on the same side. I want this game to explode into popularity. I want this to be the best MMO ever made and for the next 10 years.

[Corrderio]

I agree with you, if you don't like something at least put effort into not making yourself look like a jackass.

Ab, we do it on 2 stars currently(we are all pre 40)
when we get higher and see ANY dip in sp, we raise it to 3 stars

the ammount of starrs only sets the base level of the leve, it doesnt give you any sort of bonus sp on top of what the mobs will give you.

yes we all fail it on purpose every time(not an exploit, this was purposely implemented by the devs last year, its reward vs sp)

so it works rather well.....and it works as well as i claim it does

also having everyne within 4-5 levels maximizes the sp too

Personaly there is no reduction in fun for me
its just something i do every cycle on top of everything else i do(and the primary way i level a single class)

i still do behests for all my other combats
i still craft
i still grind

everything else is stil there for me in between, but thats me, others may not play as much as me
