developers frogot.

[indira]

im was speaking in genreral, and yeah it carrys over in to ffxiv.

As a developer I'd like to know where your information is coming from lol. There is nothing cutting down our development time beyond needing to do basic infrastructure that engines take care of these days, e.g we no longer need to program a custom camera view point as they now come prebuilt in various setups.

nothing cut down ffxiv dev time cuz they were making the engine and making ffxiv with ffxiii so they screwed them selfs 3 times the work. "we no longer need to program a custom camera view point as they now come prebuilt in various setups" well that the job of the engine, dont think your really a dev if you tossed out that sentence, or just a lazy one who dont know much.

SE's managment just sucks plain and simple took on more work than there teams can handle and its showing.

You may want to reread:

that engines take care of these days, e.g we no longer need to program a custom camera view point as they now come prebuilt in various setups.

Do you think we "suddenly discovered" how to do over the shoulder cameras for shooters? lol, it was a custom built camera control system which recent updates, you no longer have to do much custom designing as the engines now take care quite a bit by default that USED to have to be done manually.

Its got nothing to do with advancement of technology and everything to do with mass production. We're like sheep, we eat everything they throw at us and so they come up with techniques to make games faster. If they can pump out a game that will sell well every year they would do it in other words. Look at Assassin's Creed for example: the game was initially supposed to be a trilogy and each entry was supposed to pit you in a new era, suddenly they turned it around to limit resources and reused a lot of stuff from AC2 to make Brotherhood just so they add online so people get hooked (much like what the CoD series accomplished except I doubt AC will touch CoD in terms of success) and now they're putting out another AC game soon...this is in the span of what? 5 years max? that's what ruined games.

Yeah! Developers stop forgetting to frogot!?

I think you missed my point. I was talking about the engine, lacking many features. Not XIV or any other game on CT.

Do you have experience programming in Crystal Tools? Please with your vast experience, also including professional references in using this system to program; explain what features the program does not allow for. Is the Client badly optimized and can that be fixed yes, but please you never used the engine before so don't spread rumors as to what it can and cannot do.

I love people and their tin foil hat theories.
rush job? proove this. And don't say "just look at the game".

Sorry I am getting annoyed if not highly irritated with this RUMORED theory.
If your talking about the letter of appology? Then you guys misread it and never looked at announcements talking about how they had server stability issues. Which I would believe lead to alot of the "missing conent" that ended up getting scraped anyway. Remember beta clients are not exactly built like a full client. It has a down graded "firewall" if you wanna call it that which allows bugs to be seen and handled.

Sorry id like to see concrete evidence on how ffxiv was a rish job. And trust me with all the games I've played I know what a rush job looks like.

A real rush job would be two worlds. Play it some time,

You think SE had content sitting there but due to server "instability" didn't release that content and then decided to scrap it? this wouldn't sound right to any thinking person.

Another stupid post by Kilta. No fucking way. LOL

this, btw yes Kilta the game was indeed rushed. "look at the game" ;P

Perhaps its wasn't rushed SE just expected its community to be stupid and naive, all is as intended.
