Because other games besides FFXI does it. Thats why they feel that way.

If anyone expected a "super" patch (whatever it means), after they spelled out for us pretty much all this patch entailed (and even more what it did not entail) way beforehand, then he simply can't read.

I highly doubt it as it was clear she was talking about the group size (also known as party size).

Yeah I can't wait to see what the companies are all about. They will probably make that toggle as well. Heads up for SE make anything and everything you can toggle-able or else everyone will complain.

I never stated ever that these new quests will not have any.
if they do great
if not great just don;t blow up over it. as I did nicely say there may nor be any.

I was merely countering your comment that "rendering cs takes too long" which is out of touch with real-time rendering. It's in Square's best interests to not pre-render unless they're making a "The Spirits Within" mini-film.

Instead of expressing hateful terms, try to show humility towards other players.

Please remember that it is possible to disagree or say someone is incorrect without directly insulting them by calling them stupid or to "jump off a cliff". Such words do not help things and only make the english forums here look bad. Please stop creating a negative environment in a place where healthy discussion is meant to take place.

Insults and egoistic attitudes are not welcome in a forum of healthy discussion.

With this new patch things are supposed to be happy, not bitter and if you are disappointed about it, that's fine, but that doesn't mean you need to have a go at everyone else about it.

Now, getting on-topic, I'm liking what I'm seeing with the 1.17 patch. One thing I see that is still missing is behest rank requirements but I hope to see that in a later patch.

I was hoping to hunt the new NMs with my LS but the patch is going rather slow so I guess I'll sleep and hope it's done by the time I wake up.

I think it's because some of us are tired of the completely brain-dead ignorance of some individuals when discussing particular topics. If anything, this particular individual does not know when to keep her mouth shut. Just look at the postcount, I'm sure half of those posts weren't even constructive or knowledgeable.

Anyway, I'm downloading the patch now. First thing I'm going to do is dig through the DATs to see what other secrets Yoshi-P's got squirreled away...

It lacks uniqueness, SE agrees as well.
The "exclusive" skills are nice and all but really could be used for everyone if their class wasn't tied to a weapon.
Everyone is a DD, everyone can play a healer, THM/CON only benefits from AoE/Conal and 5x more MP.

They mentioned that they want to change the combat system before going through and adding a significant amount of content.

I took computer aided dracting which is a step in the prosess. To build 1 items grid can take severl hours or days. You have to make sure every line is connected to the smallest measurement or it will not look right.

again it was not even a comment worth reportable insults.

would it make you feel better that you have no cs expectations then threre aree some? or cs expectations and find out there is none.

again even in gaming cs take time to make and that time is longer then 2 mnths.

the software there using make it easier it not the same a lot of what you said is already done though it kinda i say kinda because cs is not same cgi.

Aside from my previous first three posts...

This patch looks great! *thumbs up* I'm liking the customizable direction Square is taking. Although I'm still not sure which combo of UI flags I'm going to use...hm.
