LOLPATCH 1.16a

[Zkieve]

Zkieve, seeing as how you are a rank 50, may I ask your opinion on the current Class system and Battle system?

How do you feel about party tactics? Individuality? Challenge?

Some are of the opinion that being rank 15, I cannot have a valid opinion of battle in FFXIV.

Well , to be honest man the battle system have great concepts, but is an unfinished product.if we dont look at it this way, we wont find the good or bad parts.Currently the battle system is lacking , but the concepts are good, although reallly badly implemented.
Brs, incapacitation,mix/matching skills, all great in paper but you eventually see it as it is.An unfinished product.Hard to say is good or bad, the devs themselfs said they tought it was okay to release an unfinished product, and evolve it over time, unfortunately we arent as forgiving as 8 years ago.I find it hard to go into detail about battle and class system , couse in the end its all down to the same,, its not finished.Idk if it will turn out good or bad, but currently is only a shell, lacking everything else.

Party tactics and challenges are rare.Sure there are some exceptions but honestly is far and short.At least comparing it to other mmos in the market.

I am actually playing. It is not that hard to write while you are crafting.

How does that quote of yours make me a blind ass? I am not saying the game is perfect. I am not saying they shouldn't change anything. All I am saying is that the guy is an obvious troll (if you think troll is insulting then I might be an ass, but at least not a blind one ...)

As far as I know it was pretty clear that the numbered patches are the ones with more content and that the .a and .b patches are small tweaks to the content added with those numbered patches.

So someone making a thread like this after patch 1.16a patch notes were released is a troll in my eyes. I would have replied in a normal way if he had made this thread after 1.17 or 1.18, but making such a thread after 1.16a just shows me that Abriael that posted the quote below is right, especially about the bold part.

Also, there's a big difference between "stirring up" and intentionally spreading negativity and FUD, every single day, always looking for (often completely out of line, like in this case) excuses to do so, without a single spec of constructiveness.

Even though I barely use FFXIV websites, I'm seeing a pretty heafty amount of:

Negative People: "Why are you being positive? You're supposed to loathe this game!
Positive People: "Not everyone enjoys it but I can find something about it to enjoy while they work on it."
Negative People: "You're blind to the problems then."
Troll #1: "This offline game will kill FFXIV."
Negative People: "SE is running out of time there needs to be content."
Positive People: "Yoshi-P stated content will come when he feels the battle system is where it should be."
Negative People: "It doesn't matter what he says the game needs content or it will die."
Troll #2: "Blind fanboi lolololol"

So on.

Honestly, the game was rushed out, it needs foundational fixes then it needs content, yes they can work on both together, no it doesn't make sense to do it that way because you can change the battle system which renders the newly added content useless because it no longer works due to mobs not being able to utilize x,y,z command.

Things take time, people grow impatient, others can still be patient:

There is nothing wrong with either side.

someone explain to me how this new targeting works and is supose to make things easier cus targeting mobs in this game is ONE of the hugest shitfest assbackwards things to do.Nothing like doing a leve w/ 4 mobs on you.You kill 1 mob then you try to target the next and it either targets a damn mob 40foot away or u lock onto yourself. FF11s targeting was so easy and streamline how can you fark something up that was already pretty damn easy and likable/usable in a previous game.

Unoptimized due to a rushed released, if you played FFXIII you can tell the targeting system is pretty flawless and being the same engine they can literally use the same system, however XI was a completely different engine. This is the problem with XIV being "different from XI" as the original goal.

Only time will tell if us skeptics were right.

My prediction is SE has 3-weeks from today to announce something big.

There's no MMOs coming out in 3 weeks to my knowledge.

...And what's in 3 weeks?

[Malakhim]

Watch out, guys.

We have a new Micheal Pachter in the house.

Rift is about to release patch 1.1 that has 12 pages of update content plus world events, now that's a patch. SE could learn a few things from these other MMO companies that are actually making money...

Rift=complete from day one and polished
FF14=hmmm yah....

Everyone is saying wait a year wait 6 months, hell within a year other MMO's coming out will Smash the hell out of FF14
and I know Skryim is not an MMO but I would much rather play Skyrim for 3-5 years then play FF14 even a year from now..
between GW2, SWTOR, TERA, and SKryim is there even room in my hard drive for FF14 by then, d0n't think so.
