[Dev 1024] Linkshell Administration Options

[Rutelor]

Thanks go to you, Rukkirii, as always, for your dedicated efforts to bring it to us as it is. You moderators are the best! However, these are bad news (well, perhaps not that new, but still bad.)

One wonders, if one may, where, oh, where those 5+ years of development, and all those millions, went! Can it be??Seriously! They need to overhaul the entire LS system in order to implement LS messages and expulsions? What were the original developers thinking, for crying out loud?

Tanaka is said to be an ostrich, reputed not to play other MMOs, but apparently forgetful of even the most fundamental features that his FFXI followers would most naturally expect, since they were de facto assumptions for FFXIV to those coming from his other game. Again and one million more times, Good riddance!

They already reorganized the dev team once. Doing it again would just be stupid. You can't just keep replacing employees constantly like that. Doing so would be counter-productive.

some of the best comments I've seen. Read it Yoshi read it....

I agree, but someone needs to hold their feet to the flame.. 5 years of work and a new dev team and we are still waiting for the basics...NICE

they are remodeling the client/server Communication system roots, i'm sure after this happen we will see implementation of LS features that we lack even LS functions from FFXI that we don't have. i don't think they wanna try implementing this stuff only to do it again after the system roots are remodeled.

The problem is this "remodeling" is taking way, way too long and the MASSIVE amount of features and settings that have been pushed back because of "server limitations" is just so huge at this point. There's no way they'll manage to push it all out as soon as the fixes are done (if they ever actually happen, because 8 months into the new dev team I'm starting to lose confidence). As it stands they're all promises they can't keep and those (IMO) are exactly what got this game such a bad rep in the first place.

It's just unacceptable, not to mention embarrassing that we don't have something as basic as a way to kick LS-members (without being close to them), at this point.

Yes Colino, all that has been said over and over again. Still, they keep the game free, they can not charge, still they keep the servers up, still they keep trying to fix the problems the previous Dev Team left and still plan to make this game a success after all is said and done.

Please tell me: What else do you think they should do after everything they are doing up until now? How do you know everything they are doing (Which I believe is huge) is all they can do while thinking of the massive hit this game is to their company in terms of failed revenue, lost investment, etc? What else man.. really, what else they need to do to satisfy your personal needs?

Its their game, its their money and is their choice how they allocate their resources. If this game fails it will not affect you directly at all. So please, just take it easy and see if they pull it off or not, move on to better things in the meantime, play other games, what ever you think will work for you.

So please, just take a chill pill and see if they pull it off or not, move on to better things in the meantime, play other games, what ever you think will work for you. Raging in the forums and calling names to their employees is not the way to go.

I didn't call anyone names and do my best to never do so.

I'm sorry it sounds like raging banther but I feel like every day that goes by they care less and less about the BASICS, the stuff that should've been in the game at launch. It just seems that they prefer to work on swimsuits and implementing elevator music on every map before actually fixing the massive lag and the jaw droppingly terrible UI.

I'm not ranting in some huge angry rampage, I'm just talking about stuff. My language is rough and dirty sometimes but that doesn't mean I'm yelling at my screen or shaking my fist in the air while I'm typing all this stuff...

I will be glad to edit my post. It is true no literal name calling was done on your part. Some do have rough ways of communicating. But, the point still stands:

They want the game to succeed, therefore, basic features must be implemented before they even begin to ask for fees (I believe no one, including myself, would pay for the game how it is now, or even right after 1.19 without ease of use features). So saying they will forget about them is definitely saying they like shooting themselves in the foot. They have acknowledge countless times now basic features like the ones XI had and some other MMO's features will be added as soon as they fix the mythical server problems.

But what I am trying to say is: I believe they are doing everything they can do with what has been given to them.
