All Worlds Emergency Maintenance (Jan. 18)

I still don't understand why they can't just say WHAT or HOW they "adjusted" something in their notes. Why does it have to be a big stupid secret that requires extensive testing on the players' part just to see that they knocked down a multiplier by .005 or some bullshit. They were on the right track until this recent communication blackout with their notes and updates. Would it have killed them to say "The amount of skill points and experience points gained from "fishing point investigation" type regional levequests have been increased to match that gained from similar levequests." ?

I never thought I'd see the day where Mio rages on SE, now we just need to get Hyan on board and we're ready to raid their offices.

[Spider-Dan]

Seriously, this silence is killing the game. Almost every forum is dead. This new team is not inspiring confidence; at this point, when they DO decide to communicate, they need to release something on the level of "hookers and blow for all!" to recapture interest.

They also fixed it so you can't just stay at the first fishing point in the leve, continuing to fish with Aspect on until your time is up. Now the school disperses and you can't fish anymore when you've hit your limit at the site.

[Cichy]

At this point they should just make a ship that takes you back to Vana diel and it's all in 14 graphics

[Spider-Dan]

I know you're joking, but FFXI with FFXIV graphics and the Armoury system (instead of main/sub job) would actually be pretty interesting.

[Dakana]

I feel if they had done that form the begining this game would have been so much more sucessful~

Because that's how the Westerners do it. Everyone wants SE to remain so different from Western influences. This is one way. It may be a shitty way, but its certainly different.

You don't need that many people: their offices are empty except for the guy who writes FAQs about bazaars.

I would totally play that lol...

If the article posted on 1up today is any indication, apparently we're just reading the wrong website:

Since officially taking over as leader of the MMO in December, Yoshida's been actively linking with the userbase via questionnaires and discussions posted on the official website.

Since there's jack shit on finalfantasyxiv.com, and FAQs about how to use bazaars on Lodestone, does anyone have a link to that other official website?

You know, I would give the new team a lot more credit (not that means a whole lot but you know what I mean) if they did something as simple as put "We did this and that today" every day. Yeah, it might get old, but just so we know something is going on. "This or that" could be something as simple as taking one person who finished some minor aspect or made something look pretty and writing for a minute about it. I could deal with the "We don't have any content for a while" if they'd just keep a steady stream of info coming out, even if it only served to let us know they're working and not just bickering in the offices on which switch to flip.

I know right. Even a weekly "Yoshida here, shit's still fucked, hope to fix it soon" would do wonders for morale.

I kind of expect the notes with the adjusted X, not saying how it was adjusted... Like, they've always done that so its kinda old news. I was always of the impression that they notes were more of a formality than any desire for them to actually keep us updated with what is going on.
