I still think they could have done way better they spent 8 year making the game i meen i can undstand if the game was not developed as long. they also beta tested the game and have numious complaints about stuff they didnt care to fix appon release. I do know one thing that upset beta testers was they werent lisened to it like wtf did they waist all that time beta testing for they werent lisened too. From at least open beta to release all the fixed was come mouse lag. The game can be defened all you like theres no dening this is one of the worst launches of a game period.
They have not been developing the game for 8 years. 8 years ago, FF11 was basically brand new.
All that mouse-lag/interface lag horse shit is a moot point. That's your COMPUTERS problem. Do you know how many retards got on Ff14 with underpowered machines? TONS. That didn't stop them from bitching like little girls.
They did fix things between beta and launch. i CLOSE beta tested the game. and then OPEN beta tested it. Things were changed up in alot of the classes. I think Square ignored alot of the complaints because they were pansy little girl complaints like OH THIS MENU HAS A BUTTON I DONT LIKE. MAKE IT EASIER TO SMACK MY FACE ON THE KEYS AND GET WHAT I WANT.
as for worst launches ever, I think you are mistaken, and over exaggerating.
Go look at the history of Vanguard: Saga of Heroes, and DnD Online. You want a clusterf*ck, Vanguard is your game. post-beta, I was still falling through the environment, and still doing -28839239289823 damage to enemies and healing them in the process. Among all the other problems leading to that teams demise.
The marketting system i can sea total complaints with too. Id rather be undercutted for the conviniances of actualy being able to find gear i want. The retainers reset ever day or 2 not sure exact so i have to spend more frustraing time trying to sell stuff when no one can find it to buy it anyway. When i do find gear its ether to high or to low. I can shout all i want i find it at a price im not willing to pay or how do i know if its worth it. I can check many of the website that make it more conveniant but they could say something is here you go look for to ond out its not there becouse the retainers reset and someone didnt bother to put there retainer back. I have to check each indivdual person to see what items tthere sellign ti find out they only want reapairs of other crap. I have even seen some peopel shout to find what they want to come up emty handed 4 hours later ebcouse the peopel selling said item are afk trying to sell there crap. There nothing bout being lazing in a systesm you try to fidn shit but still cant. I ill just gear up my job with higher level gear and be al kimp for the frustration it takes to find gear of the proper level to only go out and die faster then shit becouse of my gear then having to get it repared faster then it should be repared. They need an ah system like ffxi or make the retainrs at least not reset ever 2 day. I log in to see if i sold anything to fidn out myretainer was resetto the point no one could see it.
If the retainers didn't reset, all of the whiney f*cks that quit the game would have their vendors in limbo, taking up space for nothing. Be thankful they reset. Otherwise you'll have nowhere to put your retainers, and then that will be a new complaint for people.
This form of marketplace has been in effect for 12 years on Ultima Online and it works fine. The difference being, the people on UO aren't pussies, and don't mind spending 30 minutes to an hour shopping for their character. Again, the retainers WEAR THE GOODS THEY SELL.
Try observing the retainer. If you see bows, THAT ONES PROBABLY SELLING A BOW OR TWO.
etc. etc.
Another things is i see no point in all this extra content if no oen is around to utalize it. I dont no about the server you are but the server im only dont have enough peopel to do shit there 1 gtruely active ls with enough people to do shit. EVey other ls keeps trying to get short handed becouse people keep quiting the game.
Corneria is crowded.
The extra content (that most people are too dumb to find apparently?) should give people MORE reason to play. On top of having good faith that more stuff will be added. Welcome to an MMO thats 2 months old. How many brand new MMOs have you dove into?
One complaint i have is the linkshell system. TO add someoen you have to be right in front of the person to invite them well o just like ffxi so no complaint there. ! thing tho why do peopel who arent even logged int he game clutter up your linkshell they will never log in you coudl just kick them but wait you cant you have to hunt them down and figure out were in the game they are but seence there never logging in becosue they quite how on earth do you kick them. Yuo could say make a new but there should be no reson to have to do that. Then you have times when someones being a jack ass and oh there making more problems then its worth but agan you cant kick them ok find no problem but agan you have hunt them down but wait were in the game are they there current location does not pop up.
Heres a question, if you dont see the person how do you know they are existent to be added to the linkshell? Unless you want to just add random people , I don't see the point of complaint.
Party system i h can see some people who have an isue becouse some peopel do not want to solo in the game. WIth the party system you cant do a seach function to see who wants a party you have to be lucky and have a ls who does it reguarly or shout. To invite them you have to hunt them down agan and be right next to them to invite them even if youin the same zone why should you have to be right next to them. AT lauch while this was fixed launch anyway did not even dispaly party members on you mobs so you lose them you have to ask were did you go i lost you.
Clearly you have not been on in a while, as I am using the search function for parties right now.
So how out side of lack of content i sure i dont see how people couldnt get mad at the game. Yes all the isues can get fixed but agan they betaed the game and had numious complaint they they didnt even bother to fix just launched the game regardless that pretty sad imo. The one and only thing i noticed ixed from open beta to retail was some shit mouse lag. 80% of the people were not happy with the game for one reson who aa nother and i can see people who betaed the game being more pissed off then people who didnt becouse the perpose of beta testers is to fix any isues and they realy didnt lisen. i had a freind who played beta and i saw changes ever now and then but no major changes they they should have adressed for release.
Sorry for the wall of text but you fail to see how they treated teh game from beta to retail and why peopel got psised off you seem to look passed it and say it will improve when peopel didnt want to many problems from the start.
They fixed more than you think with regards to each Job, and alot of the other petty bitching has been fixed since.
remember this is the THIRD MONTH of the games existence. If you are expecting perfection, you must be a newcomer to the "brand new MMO" scene.
This is doing a f*ck of a lot better than other MMOs did right at launch. They're all a clusterf*ck at launch. Deal with it. Enjoy your extended free trial. 3 free months of gameplay = cost of game basically.
Is this in fighting street yet?
No but I wish it was in grammar street.
