Dev Tracker: Discussion (Old)

[Toth]

Oh guess you're right, I think I was mixing it up with the official windowed mode they showed scaling ages ago during WoG. It seems like it's been that long though!

The japanese anniversary event page stated the update will be July 11, unless anyone wants to correct me on that.

It would make sense considering it is the first day of that continuous log in thing. But maybe that date was talking about that event?

[Slycer]

BTW what was that bit about the version update info next week. This thing needs to hit soon ; ;

"Thank you for all of your feedback this week. Work towards the version update has been moving along and we hope to be able to tell you as much new information about the new content next week as we can...."

I believe it said on or before July 11. The continuous log-in thing starts on the 11th, and it contains new items which aren't in the game yet (that chocobo suit thing), so it's logical that it would need to happen before that date.

[Tymon]

I'll peg July 9 as the date, since version updates are usually on Tuesday. July 11 is a Thursday.

What would happen if we started posting in english on the JP forums to express our displeasure about all this ilvl crap? Think they'd just move all the posts over to the english forums to shut us up?

They have a forum rule that asks you to use correct language in each sub forum and they don't hold back deleting EN posts from JP subforum. It's at mod's discretion tho.

[Hitou]

Could always run whatever you want to say through google translate, of course that will sound extremely stupid in Japanese but it would be kinda funny to see what people say in response to it.

[Ophannus]

I remember I posted a really simple and sarcastic comment in JP on one of the threads about DRG that Matsui posted in and my post got more likes than Matsui's. I think it was because I prefaced it with "My japanese is not that good but I just want to say..." I've seen a few JPs post heartwarming things on the NA forums that were really poorly translated/written and most NAs were really accepting of it so I figured maybe the JPs wouldn't care if an NA tried to reach out on to their forums and at least show effort.

[Toth]

Thanks Slycer! I hope we get a teaser announcement on Monday.

[Hitou]

Post in the JP dev tracker today in response to JP talking about the LS Community site. Rough translation sounds like they're not able to do/going to do anything about the site because it would take too much work. Same old response about most requests.

Do people still actually use that site anymore?

[Kincard]

Mostly used by FFXIAH to gather data or something, I think?

[Cairthenn]

FFXIAH now gets most of its relevant information from Guildwork (though it did use the LS community as well); I imagine whatever information that isn't coming from Guildwork currently probably could with a bit of effort.

[Damane]

how the fuck did the LS community site go down the hill anyway 6 months ago?

[Zirael]

Might be as simple as the old site admin quitting the job and forgetting to tell the new one root passwords. Or that scrap of paper they were written down on went into shredder by accident. Impossible, right?

Spoiler: show

Rhetorical question if you've played this game long enough.

[Gwynplaine]

They didn't anticipate for it to be used this long and it was not able to include all the new data.

Would be nice if FFXIAH and joining your linkshell on Guildwork could just innovate some other way to function.

[Sho]

They really should just have some sort of partnership with Guildwork & FFXIAH. They do much better data collection anyways.

[Shenrien]

Yeah but then they would have all the restrictions that follow their OF most likely and the sites would just die faster.

[Toth]

Arrrrrrrrghhh no one cares about this. Let's get this update out asap. Colonization is dying too quickly.

[Spagnutty]

Lol at the LS Community Site being abandonware.

[Obsidian]

Wouldn't be surprised if they took whoever was "working" on the LS Community site and reassigned them to XIV's Lodestone.

[Kaisha]

They need to get the Community Forum up so I can ask on the OF for them to gank the higher-resolution equipment icons from it, and give it to the PC/360 clients.

They look soooooo much better than what we have currently.
