yeah, 10 minutes that shouldnt even take any to begin with. it should work right every time, its obviously a crap patcher. if they release it on time the game will suffer more than it already is going to. needs at least 6 months of debugging and quests added.
Why does it need quests. You have a storyline and guildleves what more do you need ? If you ever played FFXI you should know that the way to level up in this game is by grinding on mobs with a group. We don't need any quests added. You obviously have no clue what FF online gaming is all about. The only quests we ever had in FFXI was AF gear quests, nation rank and airship rank. The same pretty much applies for FFXIV.
i've been playing mmos to know 3 quests to do and then farming rats for 4 levels will have 0 people wanting to play it.
I've been playing FF offline games since before most of you were born, so i might not have a clue what FF 11 was like, but from every review and person that played it that wasnt a fanboi it sucked, and just because 14 and 11 are online games doesnt mean 14 has to inherit stupid crap from 11.
FFXI lasted how long and from what I understand people still like playing it ? iI you don't then why are you wasting your time on here trying to discourge people from liking FFXIV ? Like I said, pong and asteroids...
yeah people are still playing age of conan and vanguard that doesnt mean they are any good. i'm not trying to discourage anyone from doing anything i'm just saying its never going to get very popular if you have to grind 75% of the time, have horrible UI lag, and the world is uninspired and small with not many interesting landmarks. its obviously procedurally generated because there is no sense of depth in the world like things belonging there, like in other games wakling across ruins or discovering a secret cave or tunnel, they all had a backstory and associated quests.. not here. its from one tent outpost to another. Only reason i'm trying it is because i loved FF2 and dragoons, but ever since then even the offline ones have went downhill.
and theres no reason the patcher should be timing out, and definately no reason i should have to hunt certain files down and open up torrents and stuff.. so what am i supposed to do, its telling me that it times out and to restart the game but i get the same error everytime i do.
Well if you are expecting perfection then it certainly will not happen in mmo. As for grind, Wow at launch had a ton of grind of all sorts and FFXI had level grinds. Just about every mmo has had some kind of grind but it is all about choosing what kind of grind you like to do.
yeah but wow still had more quests at launch and not as grindy, yeah theres always gonna be a little, but it should be minimized not the main point.
as of now i'm like level 11 but i cant play cause it keeps telling me it times out and to restart it but it just does the same thing every time, its like 10030 error or something.. what a horrible patcher.
I had an error like that with the patcher but all I did was retsart the patcher and it worked.
Well NOW my patcher is stopping at 99.1% of the next part of the download and not moving; eventually it times out. This is...frustrating to say the least.
Want to go the torrent way yet? Maybe we can hang out in game when you manage to get the patch. Gods know I have nothing else to do on my characters right now :x
Objectivity is delivered with a lack of personality made for the mainstream but never used for the mainstream.
