FFXIV - Likes / Dis-likes (Changes)

So you mean they should like listen to us the players instead of giving us the "FU" like they did in in 11? I want to see 14 take off but I rage every time I get target already engaged....

Go work for SE. Threaten them if needed.

"Hmmm it says on your resume you admin one of the larger FFXI fan/discussion sites with lots of easy access to clients opinions....nah not where looking for." - SE

You can't, the target is already engaged.

Meh. They had their chances tio make this a good game and they have failed. No amount of defeneidng their decisions imo will make this game any better or make me feel any better playing it. Idc if its an mmo and they change over time. It shouldnt have been released full stop. The game is going down the Age of Conan route already

I remember talking to one of the founders of the site, they were given permission to have this site work the way it does. Lots of trade secrets and underdealings.....

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

what chances? do you have ANY idea what it takes to produce an MMO?

Do you see any non cash rich company making MMO's at top tier quality on release, oh while running a completely different one?

What they have put out is decent, and it better get better. But they need the customer support to do so. Hopefully SE will learn from their mistakes, and that's what people are playing for.

What MMO was ever made that was 100% ready at launch? I agree that MMO's take time to tweak.

it is worth noting that leveling and progressing will be slow atm since there is barely any content to speed through, see how ffxi used to be very hard to level at lower levels years back and now you can fly through 1-50.

They don't want to leave the clients with out anything to do. I am pretty sure they have a lot of content on their sleeve and are just holding it back, but also can't push that button just yet because of the glitches they haven't fixed.

I doubt SE will start listening to constructive criticism right now, they never did for FFXI, what is any different now with FFXIV?

I don't get it, SE is a huge company but basically because of their FF titles, they are better off making anime than video games.

I have a slight idea yes. I know it will get better, but for the moment the game sucks for me. You would of thought SE learned form their mistakes of running a 7 year old MMO. But obviously not.

They have new retards working at the company.


anyways, I bought it, I would've eventually, doesn't hurt to do it now, and play some of it on my lil spare time.

tHIS ^^

Well it depends on what mistakes you are talking about. The point of this thread is for you to outline what you see missing. Please enlighten us.

perhaps they aren't the ones who want to learn, perhaps they just want to train us to understand their *** up way of doing things...

perhaps they are saying, You get used to me! not I to you...

Fux you SE.

8)

1) AH. After XI why would they not put an AH? I mean everyone wants one, are they not listening? 75% of the playerbase want an AH

2) Guildleve Timers. Im sorry the game doesnt have enough content so it is purposly slowing us down. Wouldnt of been a problem if they had kept the game in development til next year

3) Lag. Menu lag is bad from what i hear. This is supposed to be the real game not Beta(even though its pretty much beta 5) There shouldnt really be menu lag on the retail...Cmon.

4) Crafting. Cmon. XI's crafting was perfect. I pick the items i want to use too craft and then click OK. What is with all this menu stuff? Why does it take 1 - 2 minutes setting up to craft clicking through a dozen menus.

5) Zones. Why are there only 3 giant zones to level in? Obviously theres more areas to explore. But i prefer XI's system of moving area to area. From what i gathered theres level 1 - 40 mobs in the starter areas. Obviously farther in.

6) (This is more my opinion)Boring. The game is boring, bland and empty. Mobs arent really in large numbers, after you do the Leves and starter Quests theres literally nothing to do besides Craft or Grind which is boring. I'd prefer at least a Quest system where i talk to people and receive Quests. Guildleves suck. Also even for a new game there's only a few starter Quests? o.O

I dont mind bugs here and there because of it being new but there's just some extremely poor designs done here. The game is a major step back from XI. Inb4 XI has been out for 7 years, they have had time to learn from the playerbase and understand what made XI good. I would have prefered XI v2 with shitty graphics but lots more content. Anyway....

Absolutely NONE of the things you pointed out are mistakes SE has made....ever. They are brand new designs and game play additions.

It takes a very very very long time to make the changes you are bitching about, especially since they are already working on other things such as more content, expansions and fixing the bugs that are catastrophic.

Oh no you didn't like bazaar method and want an AH..thats probably like 15th on their list of things to work on.

crafting....how can you call that a mistake? Its brand spanking new?

and please for the love of god stop comparing it to XI, did you compare XI to X? Nooooo, did you compare X to IX? Noooo

SE reinvents the wheel every game. This isnt XI - 2, its a totally new game with new rules and new everything.

EDIT - its almost like bitching that there is no materia....

Lmao Zekko before you *** about XIV not having zones I do wish you would take teh time to run one of the entire areas. It'd friggin huge. Then think back to XI before any updates. It was a much much smaller game.

Eh. I dont mind if you guys like the game. It doesnt do justice for me. Definitely not Square Enixs best work. Just another Korean MMO Grind. Even the music sucks now :/ Whats with the electric guitar solo stuff? Honestly West Ronfaures music shits all over XIVs OST. Even Nobuo is starting to suck now.

I remind yuo of Sandy's music since you want to mention shitty music.

I do have to agree from what I've heard XI has much better music... lol

Its not about us liking the game, its about you not letting go of XI.

It is a brand new game, and its unfair of you to compare the two (i know people will anyway, and that's expected to happen. People compare VII and VIII all the time).

If you don't like it, that's fine. But don't go on a tirade about SE not learning from their mistakes from running a 7 year MMO when they haven't shown any.

maybe SE is trying to implement another economical system with out an AH? let's give them a chance guys.
I am hearing it's easier to make gil on this game.

You don't want the same inflantation and RMTing and linkshells controlling items right?

Does I have better music than XIV? Does X have better music than IV? What is the point of the comparisons?

I enjoy Sandys music. Ronfaures + Gustaberg + Norg are such good OSTs.

The point of comparisons is to see what is improving and what isnt. Music is one of the most important factors.

Improving what? This isn't XI upgrade. It has an entirely different flow to it. I don't remember people saying i don't want to play XIII because the music isn't as good at XII.

It's fair to say "i prefer VIII's music or IV had some great tone to it" or even compare JUST the music between games to see how they have changed...not improved.

whoa whoa whoa
tone it down big boy
it was only an observation.

Let's hope they improve their customer service.
