Matsui: "Don't Throw Away Your R/M/E Weapons Yet"

If this new model really does trash the game, I'm way too curious to not experience it's death firsthand. I plan on riding this hot mess to the grisly end!

(Or until 14 comes out, whichever comes first)

but then you go back to older content (because people do old content in other games) and you destroy it.

Two solid page openers in a row.

KEEP IT UP

We arn't forcing them to care about or opinions either, they can do what they want with what we say and will have to live with the outcome same as we have to live with what they do, either by keeping playing or stopping.

An interesting note relevant to this concept is that the success rate of restaurants is higher in the US than Canada. The reason? Canadian's are less likely to complain. instead they are more likely to just leave unhappy and not come back and so the restaurant keeps thinking everything is fine until their business dwindles and they can't pinpoint the problem because not enough people tell them their issues.

While MMOs are a different ball park the concept is the same, if people just drop out and say nothing it makes it much more difficult for the company to find what is working and what is not.

yes, this is actually the first time they have outdated content with new content

this is the first time ffxi said YOU MUST BE THIS TALL TO RIDE THE _______, which is why i stand by my assessment of these weapons as a limit break rather than a reward (which sucks)


the RME ONRY of the past two years was 100% players

the scale is a lot different than any past change

you could do legion in 75 gear

assuming they make use of the def patch and the drastically increased def on their new gear, it'll be pretty much impossible to progress without the new gear

that's a very different model

You're being dishonest here. No previous update has completely invalidated the entire base of weapons like this one. Not even Abyssea was this disruptive, in terms of the scale of the numbers involved.

So, do they not work at all? Do they not see the uproar? Will they come in next Monday to see that people are pissed?

Is this sort of like a governmental administration releasing certain announcements on the weekend when no one is around to care?

Also, doesn't Golden Week have a spike in suicide rates?

Wildly off-topic, but I'm glad to see we finally found a useful purpose for our attitudes. Now, if we can convert not being able to do basic math into a clean-burning fuel, the world is ours.

U.S.A! U.S.A!

Anyone able to read Japanese able to look at the OF JP Dev Tracker feed? Mocchi has posted, but I can't read to see if he has said anything about this uproar.

SLYCER QUIT YOUR JOB IMMEDIATELY

Lol, Other than Slycer.

Well if u dont have any rem then be happy se has finally awarded you noobs

As a Canadian whos worked in many restaurants, I'd like to know where you get that information from. I certainly haven't seen it.

I see what you are saying, but people will complain yet still play the game that has so many major flaws (as they say). It's like Canadians constantly going to a restaurant they know they don't like and complain about it.

It is impossible to please everyone, and there are always people that will say they are quiting the game blah blah blah. But really, what will SE have to do to the game to get most of the current population to quit the game?

Yes thats what I ment to say

Google Translate tells me that it is about some kind of JP contest involving making FFXI-themed lunchboxes. So no, he didn't.

I wish I knew. It's sad, really. Coming back to this game was incredibly refreshing after playing WoW for several years. Now, it seems like they're hellbent on giving XI a similar model and I can't see it holding my interest in the long run.

Figures.. lol

because i am capable of weighing the good and the bad to make an informed assessment of whether this is something i want to spend my time with, a skill i had to develop for my fulltime job of being a goddamn adult

ffxi does not have to be completely flawless for me to deem it worth playing, but to think this wouldn't change the calculus is kind of weird, honestly

Speaking of obsolete content, anyone up for Expeditionary Force, Garrison, or Eco War?

Oh you misunderstand they don't keep going, they dwindal off until few enough remain that they aren't making money anymore. If it will hurt the game much? That will be seen over the next month or so.

Multiple chefs, my own experience and it's not exactly a secret trait of people in the US (no offense intended). Canadians complain plenty, more than people think we do, we are just less likely to do it where said complaints can make a difference IE *** to an employee that will just "whatever" it rather than talk to a manager or owner.

Totally would be.

That's a big chunk of the problem. Because of SE's poor communication skills we don't know what they're trying to do with all this. I guess we're supposed to just trust them, but why should we? What about them makes them trustworthy?

If this were WoW the subject would have been introduced, discussed, dissected, and adjusted before it was ever implemented. SE seemingly just throws ***at the wall to see what sticks.

Man, I loved Garrison! One of the level 20 ones was the first time I'd ever seen a mob use Mijin Gakure. Scared us all half to death.

Awesome job mad derail sons Kudos on that.....
