Seriously give the game time?

[Holy_Dragoon]

Now don't listen to the people who say this game is fine the way it is and just needs endgame. These people are people who are idiots in real life and have mental issues and thinks SE cares for there customer base when everyone obviously knows SE could give a damn about there customer base.

Really? I hope you didn't expect people to respect your opinion with statements like that.

my god.. stop posting such topic.

People are getting impatient. They are waiting for a big update containing the PvE dungeons, End Game Content, the new battle system, the mysterious "job" and "materia" system, more means of travel (Chocobo's and airships mainly), access to Ishgard and other towns, etc, etc. It's simply too much to be implemented in few months, let alone 1 single patch.

SE has mentioned it several times now. A big overhaul of a battle system or the implementation of PvE dungeons take a lot of time. With the patches 1.16, 1.16a, 1.17 and 1.17a, it would seem like we are only getting small fixes. However, in the meantime another section of the development team is working on a major change in the foundation of the game. These small fixes are only preparing the foundation for the massive changes. We may not hear much about these changes, but that doesn't mean they are not working on it as we speak.

Don't forget, SE wants to restore it's name after the dissapointing FFXIV release. There will be another E3 in June, so i'm guessing we will see the major changes around that time. That way they can show the public what FFXIV has in store for them.

Unfortunately, this will not satisfy a lot of people who are getting impatient and want to stuff like the new battle system, job system, materia system, new means of travel, PvE dungeons and end game content NOW.

But, to be honest, i don't really care what they think... I'm more curious to what SE has in store for us with these major changes.

-- On a side note... I would like to see another vid with a sneak preview about what's going on at the development department. Just like they did with the new character creator during the beta phase. (^_^ ) The "mission impossible". http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Rp1Wryh93s

Half the stuff he posted already exists or is being added and worked on...

sometimes i wonder if people even play this game when they post this crap


fyi to those who dont know, we actualy do have achievments already

Dont compare this game w/ WOW and say wow looks better....... because it doesnt! WOW looks like it was designed as a kids amusment park; the colors are clownie childish and trash. All the toons faces are scrunched up looking pig faces w/ fat 2x4 hands and weapons that look like 2x4s also. Get a grip. ff11 in all technical aspects looks more appeasing than WOW. How can i say this?! Because 2 weeks ago i attemped to play WOW and i almost had a mental breakdown after just 10 mins of trying to make a toon that didnt look like a damn looneytoon. Once i started playing i was bombarded w/ enviroments that looked as if they where colored w/ crayola/roseart crayons.......... The mob designs where far more generic than the 10 we have to stare at in ff14 at this point. More mobs will be added in future.

Only viable remark u had was the reuse of models on armor and weapons/ which im sure they will eventually break away from once they fix the previous teams major catastrophe.

My best advice to give SE at this point of time would be to completely scratch the game though and have yoshi go play rift hit cap try endgame and do the same with aion and wow. Afterwards take the things from there and notice how 99% of gamers could give a damn about graphics. Make a game that looks like aion, but has a nice fluid combat system.

While the post is a bit over-the-top, I do think that SE needs to wake up and stop listening to the people that are saying that everything's fine and the game just needs a few tweaks.

I quoted the above text because honestly, SE needs to incorporate things from other games that worked, especially FFXI. I understand that they're trying to do this with certain aspects of the game, but I think that things from RIFT, WoW, etc. could make this game great. Take for example, public quests in RIFT. How awesome would it be to show up for a Behest, and an option pops up asking if you'd like to "Join Behest Group" instead of clicking the NPC and manually forming a party. Little things like this could be done for all kinds of things in the game, but it seems like SE doesn't look at other games out there and come up with cool ideas, they ask us for the cool ideas.

I see very few people anywhere on this forums saying the game is perfectly fine as is.

The word End Game is abused. It was never even used in XI until after the Xbox360 came out.

We used to call content that needed level 60+ "High Level Content" and there was tons of it you just had to know where to look and not be a whiney baby who only ever leveled up and never did missions, gods, hnms, hlnms. etc.

This is definitely not true. Personally I was in an "End Game" linkshell in XI long before the XBox release and there were several "End Game" shells on Gilgamesh before Xbox Release.
