I bet we can thank him for the 25% "hybrid" experience penalties - after all, Paladins and Shadowknights were just TOO FUCKING GOOD right? - and the racial experience penalties. Fucker gave my Troll SK a 45% experience penalty then denied it. Made me wonder why I couldn't keep up on...

This doesn't inspire much confidence... But if they can somehow get the addictive nature of Civ 4 / 5 into an online game, it could be the best thing since UO.

Holy shit. I don't know the first fucking thing about this game, but without even loading up the video you linked and just looking at the preview, I am flabbergasted at what a copy paste of WoW that is. I mean....fuck. The characters, the architecture, the coloring, the armor, the blur. ETA...

You're just flat wrong, as even those with many (many, many) 50's will attest to clearly in this thread. When things become this obvious, it's no longer an opinion, it's objective fact that FFXIV is below average (though you may be of the opinion you like it anyway - I like a shitty game or two...

This is the "fucking moron fanboy sucker thread". Here is where all the people come to complain about how much EQ has fucked them over for 10+, then they throw money at the mere release promise with no idea of quality whatsoever. This is how we lower the bar on releases. We have fucking...

Yeah, those fucking idiots. How dare they share some design characteristics with an unreleased game, which may never go gold, from a franchise who has pretty much written the book on failing to deliver on all sequel and expansion promises?

Square is without a doubt the dumbest fucking game company that isn't yet bankrupt. It's mind-boggling that any of you are dumb enough to continue supporting this company's efforts. Combined with the travesty of 1.0, this is the worst attempt ever made by a legitimately funded company to...

There is no logic in this quote that is not fallacious. "Clearly getting fucked over by multi-national corporations is wanted by the masses, otherwise MNCs wouldn't continue raping and extracting 3rd world resources, committing tax fraud, embezzlement, paying CEOs over 100x the average...

Your implied assumption is pretty stupid. I've been playing MMOs since UO, and I'm not even affected by this issue, so it's certainly not a personal complaint. I am not aware of another situation where temporary bans have been laid out for nothing more than legitimately earning some game...

Can you explain what sort of corporate abuse you've previously endured that has lead you to believe having your product you prepaid for taken away on mere suspicion, pending investigation, is "reasonable" rather than "fraud"? I'd almost entirely agree. However, I think the degree of failure that...

Well, they've lied and failed to deliver at most other points. I don't see why this looks likely to be any different. I'll be absolutely shocked if that feature list makes it into the game, functional, in 2013.

Well, if they bought boxes with ARR they are still on time they paid for with the box. Bitching can certainly be fun, and despite what some people may claim, (negative) word of mouth is a real thing with real (negative) economic value.

It would have admittedly been a better example to use something like old Ice Comet, with a longer cast time but higher damage to account for the same DPS. Plus, it felt less like running a rotation than every DPS class does these days. But, feel free to pounce on the example I said I had not...

So, essentially you think the combat responsiveness and feel of the entire combat system should be drastically reduced in quality (and PVP made all but impossible) to accommodate your desire to communicate while playing, and your refusal to use the multitude of free voice options at your...

Antarius, just go cash your fucking check from SE's marketing department already. You've already earned it. You can shut up. PS - It's OK to like a game that sucks. We really don't care. You really don't need to try to convince everyone that an objectively poor-to-mediocre game is good.

You're massively full of shit, and one of the whitest of the white knights here. All that shit you just defended is bullshit shortcut fixes for serious problems which should never have existed. The quality of everything you are comparing to WoW is worse in FFXIV, they had 2 fucking...

Are you serious? These devs truly act as if they don't even have basic common sense. The decisions they make (everything from locking servers to AK to culling to 2.5 GCD) are so fucking far from defensible it honestly seems as if their goal is to piss the majority of their customers off. Aside...

Well, shit. Stop the presses. It'll be functional and working on a Square-Enix server relatively near (perhaps a few countries away in Canada) you by 2016.

There is no way federal employees value efficiency so highly. I think this pretty much sums up every single design aspect of this title. It's all "working as intended". One might think the intention was to piss off anyone with common sense or any IT/Programming knowledge.

So, you're basically just a doormat for corporate abuse? This is about as white-knighty as you can sound, without actually white-knighting. Shit.

Well I'm glad you're luck is better than mine. I guess if you don't have the problem, it doesn't exist. If you think it takes hours to make a few forums posts, well, I'd hate to have your time management skills. That's the wonder of technology and the internet - multitasking and productivity...

LOL, love? This is without a doubt the most incompetent launch of an MMO in history, and it's a RE-LAUNCH. This game fucking sucks. I still haven't been able to play it since the hour EA started. All refunds are denied even if you haven't used your activation code. Edit - I cannot stand...

Can't stress this one enough. There are all sorts of variations on login errors that don't seem to clear up until you completely close out your client and restart it completely, coming in from the launcher. Just one example: if you remain logged in with a "created" character trying to refresh...

I can't speak to the current server situation, but I can guarantee you SE is too fucking dumb to have coded anything resembling a tracker for login attempts. Everyone is slamming the server this way all the time; you're fine. Keep on doing your best to DDOS that sucker.

Has anyone sought and successfully received a refund? I purchased two accounts, one from GMG and one from Amazon. Neither have had the game activation code used, only EA code. Both Amazon and GMG have a straight "No refund on MMOs/Digital Games" policy (respectively). I spoke with two CSRs at...

I really want a refund, as well. Two of them. Amazon wouldn't do it, nor would Square on an Amazon purchase. It's really starting to look like "sell account" or "chargeback". Maybe both.

I've still yet to be able to play a minute of this game, even when I am willing to go to a server alone that is a gameplay dead-end. "Unlike login restrictions, we believe that character creation restrictions may take slightly longer to be removed, as there are still great discrepancies in...

Haven't I made this obvious for you? Square Enix's head is so firmly planted up its own ass, they'd need a gravitational pull stronger than DEMI or QRTR to remove it.

This has got to be the worst launch I've ever seen firsthand. 4 days and I haven't even been able to create a character, with every implication from Square being it could "be weeks" before Gilg is unlocked. Any other server requires spamming an AHK script indefinitely to even try to login, and...

I truly wish you the best possible luck at this goal.

I do not see how Gilga (and Levi) can go another night without so much as a minute of character creation unlock. I have never seen an online game so desperate to keep you from playing it with actual people (or at all).

Here's the Mumble info (this is all I have, I've not logged into it yet): Rerolled FFXIVRR Mumble server IP: 108.61.46.212 Port: 11013 Temp Pass: isis On another note, tried to join you all tonight on Malboro, but all I'm seeing is login errors. On the positive side, I notice Moogle...

No, he's stating a fact. Every server was locked AT SOME POINT last night. The fact that you did not see it, does not negate the fact it existed as reality. I saw it several times while alt-tabbing to refresh Gilg. It is also true that, at various times, everything other than...

Seriously, you are quoting the TOS? You are such a fucking moron. Pop quiz - If I put in the TOS that you have to sign over your firstborn child to me, is it legal? Continuing education - If I put illegal clauses into my contracts, do you think they are enforceable? If you had more than...

Do you trolls attend some sort of school that renders you oblivious to the meaning of facts that point out your worldview is constructed on your false opinions, such as "Early access is a privilage."? You are seriously comprising half of this fucking thread now. Are you doing anything but...

You're an idiot. White-knighting is exactly what your dumb ass is doing. Read these facts re-posted from the forums and then tell us again how you are not a white knight: "...case law and consumer laws say thatanything advertised as what you call a "bonus" is in fact part of the purchased...

Half this thread is you multi-replying to yourself. Shut the fuck up, you goddam troll. Do you really think this forums roots come from white-knighting shitty online game companies?

Still no fucking unlock on Gilgamesh. Not even for a second. Fucking thing hasn't been lit up since beta. ...they've got 18 hours to let me create a character before they get 2 more cancellations.

3 minutes of waiting and you spam your useless bullshit again? Pull up Ebay and quit being a waste of space.
