Keep Us Informed

[Ingolf]

I agree. They need to be vigilant in keeping us interested and aware of what's happening.

And they can make live videos regardless of the server status. I really hope they don't fall into the standard JP dev trope of being too quiet.

Back when 1.0 was up, it was ok to be a little quiet, we were tied up with that... but now? Don't do it SE.

If there isn't an alpha video like normal next week, I'm going to be pissed. (not necessarily because of the lack of info, but the fact that they aren't keeping to a schedule like they promised)

They'll lose interest....until the game is released. lol

I blame Enix for this. Back when it was Square then Squaresoft, they had some delays sure..but for the most part, they always kept their promises and when they couldn't, we knew before hand, i.e we knew Radical Dreamers won't hit the west due to no BSX support.

It's the lack of communication that does it.

I can see it now, 4-5 weeks of no new videos and no explanations and then suddenly "Sorry guys, we've been really busy!".

It pisses me off because you can always just keep us apprised, tell us that there's not going to be videos for a few weeks, I'm sure we'll be less irked that way than just stark silence.

Oh I'll also be annoyed at how readily people will defend them, when they decide to go completely silent for several weeks. "But guys they're busy!!!" Jesus Christ, how much work is it to just explain what's happening on the forums whilst you're waiting for something to render. It takes like 5 minutes.

See I'm getting pissed off over something that hasn't even happened yet.

I can understand being busy..but at the same time..it really doesn't take much work to slap in some screenshots or make a write out, like they did pre-launch party for 1.0.

Hell they're still dead silent about XI's new expansion, when by now there would be at least some teaser info on the expansions website in the light of ToAU/CoP..but can blame ARR for that just like you can blame 1.0 for WoTG's 3 year life span on content completion.

Like it was said before though, if you notice after every major update/event there's dead silence for the next few weeks..so with them taking a break next week..it's honestly iffy if we'll get something even though they mentioned weekly videos.

There is no alpha this week and i got a question what do you want to see? it's one area we seen everything -.- there really noting more new they can show us in the alpha videos that we have not yet seen.

I love grid and i can say i'm sick of it i don't care about alpha video if they show ul'dah are and LL then that other story.

Just using your post as an example for this comment. If what they have shown us is all that is ready, the release is a LONG way away...

They always use one area for Alpha in 1.0 it was LL that all we got to play in to much later. This time is grind because it's one of the area people complain the most about and have change the most. There a lot of thing they need to do yes but remember the new engine allow them to make them quicker

And the other complain about not getting new information like really? you have noting better to do then say why SE not giving us anything. The person who does the lore went on a short holiday and i'm sure other are also doing it you get the information in due to time.

What else do you want to know about 2.0 that we don't know yet? it better just waiting and playing it at release then knowing everything and be bored because you knew it was going to be there.

Just my opinion, but i think knowing too much before a game release, takes away the excitement of finding out surprises when you are playing the final release version.

I wouldn't be surprise if there's an update on the Lodestone Board or forum update section next week before Thanksgiving

Besides, Global Alpha is releasing soon if it all goes according to plan.

Whilst I respect that some people can feel that way, it's always an option for them not to watch videos or read news posts.
