From today


Do they really not test their own shit before announcing it?

Why test your own game when you have paying customers to do it for you? Hurray for perpetual beta!

[Kaisha]

Only 1/50th of their paying customers speak JP though that actually use the test forum discussion.....

They will let the NAs figure out what is wrong. They just won't listen to us when it comes to picking pets.

[Karbuncle]

They will let the NAs figure out what is wrong. They'll just ignore it completely until a JP Complains 6 months later

fixed?

[Septimus]

fixed?

I mean test server stuff. if it makes it past the test server then the fixed line is correct.

Ah yes. Makes sense.

They have zero communication with the NA test server players though. ;/

[Forte]

Who cares, they are a backward and retarded company that will never change. The failure that was FFXIV has taught us that, if by both showing us they don't know how to design games and that even a crippling failure that caused a mass firing in their upper echelons wouldn't be enough to fix their incompetence.

The way I see it, I play with the game I have, and if by some mistake they actually make it better, happy accident.

Wait, what's with the chat log.

[Foxer]

I was trying to look for an actual source, cuz the picture just came from a link to the official site: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/at...9&d=1321518881

It seems they're toying with a new chat box and macro pallet idea, in other words, messing with the UI as a whole.

Hopefully these mofos add WASD support.

[Corresapolonia]

Hopefully these mofos add WASD support.

don't quite get it. what you mean by WASD support, confused now.

[drwaffles]

That log position is ugly as fuck, please don't fix what ain't broke.

[Foxer]

don't quite get it. what you mean by WASD support, confused now.

I was just messin', but I meant WASD with mouse camera. Have I been missing something all these years? :3

[Foxer]

Just looks like it'd work best without having to press space bar and holding down mouse to move camera. IDK, the generic controls just always felt better to me.

It shouldn't matter on an mmo but RDM was always inferior to WHM in other FFs, even nuking

[Evane]

I think if SE adds a JT that allows RDM to land those immune debuffs (Gravity, Silence, Bind.. etc) on NMs with the help of gear/merit, RDM would be relevant again. This JT must be exclusive to RDMs though. Another JT that boosts the effect of buffs might help as well. Since RDM is and has been considered the master of buffs/debuffs magic throughout all of FF games.

its a front page topic and big enough to deserve its own thread so I made one just now

But single player jrpgs are even more victim to debuffs whole, "not worth casting on regular monsters or bosses immune to it" and white mage already had the worthwhile buffs
