  • Problematic buff and debuff limits that break rotations.
  • Slow packet and battle processing code that 2013 multi-threaded hardware probably shouldn't struggle with, nevermind 2025 hardware.
  • "Difficulty carrying things with the player" across physical servers.
  • Inability to revisit linkshells, such that they created an entirely different version of them called CWLS.
  • Daily DDoS of their NA servers that, while I admit are difficult to prevent, there are ways to think outside the box like creating multiple routes to the server and proactively diverting player clients to a different route when attacks are happening.
In addition, the struggle with viera and hrothgar hats for half of the game's existence now.
Yeah but they are completely incapable of hiring anyone who isn't Japanese because apparently the language barrier is too strong lmao

One wonders how studios like CD Projekt Red manages to communicate internally with people from all over Europe.

Yet another self-own by the Japanese resistance to globalization.
