Interview #4

[Jotaru]

From the wording in this interview, and almost all I've seen, its like they flat out don't understand. I like to put more faith into the people who developed this game, but god damn... its like they honestly believe the problem is the regen, or they are from some other planet where they are telling us something very key that none of us can understand, because they don't seem to be doing any "Oh, that, well, ***" in any interview I've seen.

[Kaylia]

Man...why is it so hard to give a hint about AV. Next interview/email or something, maybe you should ask them how to deal with 4k dmg meteor and benediction, explaining them it's impossible to survive.

4000dmg meteor = 1600-2000dmg on 10target, enough to kill any healers in the surrounding.

Thats enough to kill any PC target let alone healers. Except maybe a galka HP monk <,<

Keep in mind you can reduce that using damage reduction gears, shell, barspell (for m.def). You could drop that to a level where your tank survive, but that's pointless if healer are dead. Meteor range isn't the one of a normal aoe, but a huge area where everyone will get hit.

Screenshot the chatlog of AV annhilating an alliance with meteor. Print it out. Hand it to them. "This is why we can't beat AV"

[Tomiko]

First and foremost, thanks for doing the interview.

Macro lines

Bercus: Are there any plans to extend the number of lines in each macro? An update to it would really appreciated. Especially with WotG we will get more gear and jobs. 5 lines is not a lot anymore, when I cast different spells I sometimes have to press 4 different macros to switch to all the gear I want.

Saori: We are aware that there is a huge demand that you would like to have more macros and that you would like to save more macros. It is really difficult and will be a big change for the system. So if we start working on it, it will take some time.

Bercus: You don´t plan it?

Sundi: No.

Bercus: That´s bad =(.
(Oh I will send stuff about this again via E-Mail for SURE )

Their response to the macro lines really sucks. Even if it takes awhile as they say, I don't see why they don't just get started on it since this is one of the bigger draws for the non-sanctioned windower imo.

Account Stealing

Bercus: Account stealing. Right now you can only get your character back when you know the current CC Infos, which of course can´t know because the thief changed it. But the original owner has the CD Codes and the informations before. Do you think you can use additional layers of security? So that the original owners can actually get their characters back. Its common in online games. You make friends, you trust them, you go on vacation and give them your informations. You come back and they stole your account.
But you still have all the codes.

Sundi: This is a very sensitive answer, but we have an answer.

Saori: First of all, it is very very important to keep your infos to yourself. You have to protect yourself. If you go to internet cafes, use the Guest Log in and rather then creating a Log-In account. It is also important to not use 3rd party tools. Those can steal your ID and Passwords. However if you find out your account has been stolen please contact the POL-Center. I can´t say at this stage that we will make changes, but there are ways we can find out the past information to recover your account.

It seems like they dodged the question on this one and just said the obvious (don't give anyone your info, etc) when that wasn't the issue. I don't know why they mention past information being relevant when we've heard stories otherwise stating that only current information matters.

[Cookiemonster]

They sounded kind of pissed at some of those questions lol, you did a good job though imo.

[Grayfox]

My favorite part of the interview is when he says they would prefer to show a video of the AV fight rather than do it live...so they can retry over and over without getting fucked up.

[deivi]

yea even for SE they seemed unusualy evasive on the AV questions..

good interview still, thx for getting this to us :D

[Lordender]

replace 3king question w/ 35's from zhayolm rem. >.>

[TB]

I really appreciate all the work you put into these interviews. Some answers is better than no answers.

[Not Kuno]

I would fly to anywhere in the world to watch the dev team wipe to AV live.

[Rocl]

Fly directly into the sun.

[Hellsashes]

I like the interview, but I'm not seeing any of the pictures you guys are talking about >.>. Am I the only one?

[Grayfox]

Peter Pan, you have to BELIEVE in the picture, before you can see it.

[spooky]

I like the interview, but I'm not seeing any of the pictures you guys are talking about >.>. Am I the only one?

Are you at work?

[Snarg]

Auto sorting code is already in the game. When you dig on a chocobo new drops will fall into stacks. They disabled it for all other areas, but for some reason left it on for digging.

It would be nothing to turn it back on.

[TB]

It's not disabled for all areas. IIRC when you change ISP for Coins they will get sorted automatically.

[Talisien]

Great job Bercus, I agree they seemed really evasive (even for them) regarding AV.

Honestly, it could very easily be that we aren't understanding their hints. They seemed to be hinting that the regen issue was what they considered to be important and we just don't understand the connection. Also, when they refer to "regen" they might be referring to AV's multiple use of 2-hours as "regening" the abilities.

Does anyone have the original hint that they gave about AV that everyone assumed to be about JoL? I wanted to take a peek at it again.

[ringthree]

Auto sorting code is already in the game. When you dig on a chocobo new drops will fall into stacks. They disabled it for all other areas, but for some reason left it on for digging.

It would be nothing to turn it back on.

It also works for Imperial coins for some reason.

EDIT: Tonnberry beat me to it.

[Reapz]

Nice job Bercus, lol at Sundi as usual, gotta love the guy!
