Dev Tracker: Discussion (Old)

Wish BG had a like button

My thoughts exactly. Someone had been grating on my nerves too

[Sho]

Here, Hashmalum. Have a seat. Just for a moment, please. This won't take long.

...

Do it for them.

You are simply the best moderator who has graced this forum.

I apologize for the excessively intemperate nature of my recent posts in this forum.

Kohan and I didn't always see eye to eye back in my active mod days, but I have to give props for this.

My work here is done.

You guys think SE would ever "sell" FFXI?
Not to derail, I was just thinking about how things could possibly go I'd they did.

I sooner see them making the game F2P and implementing a cash shop for quick revenue after FFXIV: ARR gets underway.

Someone posted this timeline on FFXIAH again:

Spoiler: show

I think they accomplished <50% of the things that they said they would do.

[Toth]

That is quite a disappointing reminder. The two hour abilities, Cait sigh, and the monster role play system should have been here by this point. Now they will suddenly become 'exciting new features of the new expansion!'

[ronin sparthos]

No play as a monster before Adoulin ftl.

Hire some interns or something SE. You can pay them with Chocobo cookies.

By now? That shit was scheduled to show up in September.

I'm going to go ahead and blame this on Tanaka. He was setting his successor up for failure!

[Toth]

Well to be fair, this was the roadmap for the test server but still only the two hours showed up there...and remain languishing there.

I'm going with this. Either Tanaka knew he was leaving when he drew that up and was basically trying to make FFXI look bad to the playerbase (lets be honest, that interview he made is supporting that claim), or Matsui's visions do not coincide with what Tanaka had planned, or a little from A and a little from B.

i think that huge embrava-/PD-nerf/Legion/shit 2 hours/ etc uproar pushed alot back. Matsui wanted to take first a closer look and adjust everything before comeing out with a nerf.

[Shenrien]

The game has gone through a lot of changes and is going through a lot of them still. Some things came up that isn't even on the chart which are very important and most likely will change how the entire pace of combat flows, speaking specifically of the level correction removal, and adjusting how defense works on both player and npc. It wouldn't shock me if they're putting more time and effort into correcting and expanding the system than they would with the UI system that not many would probably use, or Play as a monster system that holds almost no interest.

[Cleverness]

Nice title

[Kyreth]

Story - Gilgamesh steals the 12 swords / weapons from the story and proceeds to beat the shit out of himself while trying to swing them all at once. The end.

Fixed that for you. It'd be much more amusing.

[Chamaan]

My new puppet attachments. ;_;

And man I'd forgotten that the Tact Processor revamp was supposed to be bundled in that. I was so hyped. They'll probably just end up sticking the new attachments on NPCs and you buy them with Frontier Points or whatever they make us grind XP for.

[Hitou]

Am I the only one that plays PUP that doesn't really want more attachments I can't equip because there's no slots for them or the element is already full from more useful attachments? I'd rather they fix the more useless attachments than keep adding new ones. That and up the elemental caps on all heads/frames.

[Dotsudoku]

Not that I fancy competing with PUP's already perfectly good merit options, but there should have been a way to increase elemental capacity a la merited BLU set points
