[Dev] Overtaxation of PC Hardware

[MonsieurVerde]

There should never be a reason to buy a new cooler from your Graphics card, unless:

-Your fan dies
-You are overclocking
-You live in the desert with no Air Conditioning.

Doesn't matter if it's a stock cooler or not. The majority of players do not possess the motivation to swap out a GPU cooler just for the sake of a poorly optimized game. End of story.

Less Heat means more life. Components die faster and voltage regulators may not be able to maintain steady voltage if they are too hot.


Do you know what optimisation means? It means to make it more efficient. Even by making it more efficient it won't magically solve all your heat related problems. If you are already suffering from such then investing in better case flow or a GPU Cooler will help if you really care about the heat of your components.

FFXIVs engine is so advanced and robust, especially compared to the below game which is closed beta.

All I see is another WOW clone with updated graphics...

Seriously the character model resembles a WOW model, same UI, feathers on that flying unicorn thing look blocky as hell...

So Tera is just yet another WOW rip like Rift was, thank you for bringing that to my attention =0)

wow....look at all those copy/pasted textures on the building...couldn't watch it for more than 10 secs

tera looks good though, not gonna lie, might try it out when they release it in US

It's ok, they don't need our shrinking community of "old-school" MMORPG gamers to do well.

Hey everyone,

What everyone's saying about FFXIV currently being a large burden on the PC is something we've been seeing on our end as well. We brought this up with the development team and hope to have a comment from them soon.

Overtaxation on my computer? I suppose I've noticed. I'm not too sure. It's a fairly new computer.

You guys need to take your WoW goggles off i was looking at the engine features and gameplay capabilities not the GUI or trying to compare game for game.

FF Defense force fail.

After watching this video of Tera http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MkTpa...eature=related

I got a little interested.

That was a good video, adding auto attack isn't ever going to make combat that interesting.

As long as there is no reduction in the quality of images, I don't mind lower taxation of my computer resources, haha.
