Dear Mr.HNM Yoshi

[Visch]

This is still a joke 3-5min pop and 30-50% drop rate is a joke.

Yup. It's pointless dude. What is the point of an MMO if you beat everything and have to wait for an update to have something to do.

[Zenaku]

this is getting redundent. Like I keot saying no one is going to be happy with the game that "hardcore" players are being to stubborn blaming the "casuals".


did it ever occure to do yoshida is a "casual" players... he plays ffxiv not cuz he is a producer but as a player. remember yoshida is a big mmo players and obviously a casual player.

so by insulting the casuals your infact insulting him as well.
Sorry but if I was leading a game design and someone insulting me, they sure as heck be lucky they still play the game. :3 and thats my nice way of saying it.

I'm for one not insulting no one casual players are limiting hardcore players game play. If only casual meet us in the middle but guess what they don't and don't really care the game be easy but at least toss us a bone as hardcore and not make it easy later because casual ended up liking it so they end up making our stuff easy so they can do.

If yoshi-p does what he say two system one casual and one hardcore then at the end no one really going to do the hardcore version because they be doing casual one and we all have to do it with them because we wont have enough players to do it with

would like to know what MMO he was playing.

He said he started out on Dark Age of Camalot which was far from being Casual.

hm.. I think even after all these complain(mostly from hardcore player),
SE will still prioritize by changing battle system, fix bug, and causal player content. To be ready for ps3 release for easier access by new player, they can't have any mistake this time so they need to start from the bottom.

SE will probabaly add most of the end-game content when they're going to charge monthly fee from old player.

It makes sense for a SE to do so. But this really pis a lot of rank50 player in this whole process.

People need to stop expecting some kind of huge strategic fight until after the combat changes. They are talking about revamping major aspects of combat and what might be challenging now might turn into a joke when they change the combat. Then what?

It's a better idea to implement low-midlevel (where difficulty isn't as big of a deal) stuff prior to combat changes and then work on difficult strategic battles once the combat changes are in and they have something to balance content around.

You should quit playing that would show them...and quit posting here too, you know really stick it to them.

Tweak it when the time comes and keep your current, dwindling player base occupied? What's so difficult with that. They already had to tweak them cutting the group size in half with the current "endgame" NM's.

If you have beaten all the normal content that you are interested in participating in for your character, in most MMO's you take that time waiting for the next major update to help your friends get up to your level or point in the content as well so that when the new content comes out you can share it with them together.

You also participate in crafting and gathering and the economy. Then if your still bored you can go hunting for items to sell or give away. Or you could just hang out. Eventually the content will dwarf you and there will be more content then you can keep up with though. I know it happened to me in XI after TOAU came out.

This is still a joke 3-5min pop and 30-50% drop rate is a joke i would not even try to log in and get them even if i still had my 50char before i ended up del and restarting. Everyone at the end going to have it.

it is not 50% drop rate lol... they actually have quite a terribad droprate, i am guessing 10-15%. i am sure this will keep people attention for 2 weeks or so, until next update that is.

[Nuru]

Its an Update. Not an Expansion. Remember that.
