"1) I can't redefine my keys to anything meaningful for me rendering it playable.
2) The game crawls even in enclosed buildings unless I turn the settings down to mega low.
3) The downloader is broken as all fuck.
4) The mouse makes it unplayable to play and I still haven't seen any responce that it would be fixed yet.
5) They couldn't even keep a server up for longer than 5 minutes to give out keys, this doesn't bode well for anything pertaining to a game come release.
6) I have not read a single thing about how the game actually plays in practice that is positive. Everything I've read that's negative goes into great detail and everything I've read that's positive just says "IT'S NOT THAT BAD YOU GUYS" without actually debunking anything.
7) From SE's track record with FFIX I'm pretty sure the game will not be fixed."
Just to harp on these points: *Ahem*
1- Keybinding seems to be a possibility now with the menu option. The keys arnt that horrible really right now but I love to keybind as well
2-That's a computer issue not the game, the game is meant for very high end systems right now, just like FFXI was. WoW is the polar opposite and can be played on your grandmothers Win95 Dell.
3-This is annoying, luckily you can easily work around it by using the torrents
4-Mouse doesn't make it unplayable, you don't really even need the mouse, and I have had no issue with it so far. If anything there will more then likely be a hardware mouse that fans create
5-Nothing new here, most if not all companies do not have a server that can work that amount of traffic all at once. There were 10's of thousands of people trying to burst through at once, the site WILL go down.
6-85% of all negative press is a result of misinformation. The other 15% is legit and we have been told is being worked on in some parts. No MMO has ever launched at 100% efficiency. Even WoW launched as a shitpile.
7-Their track record of them fixing some major issues with FFXI? A lot of the early complaints when RoZ was the only expansion were tweaked eventually. It did take a long time but SE seems to have wised up on this and understand that unhappy players will leave and most likely not come back. Does that mean the game should cater 100% to your likes? No, that's ignorant.
Quote:I would have to disagree. We have already seen videos that depict characters jumping in various cutscenes, as well as the fact that there are several in-game actions that depict jumping(Pugilist's Seismic Wave attack, for example). The animations are there, which is the most difficult aspect of implementing new actions into a game. It's just a matter applying those animations to code and binding them to a key. Taking the amount of detail that have been implemented into the game thus far and the intricacies of the various actions already implement, I would say that it's safe to assume that SquareEnix is more than capable of a simple jumping action.
They would have to go back and rescale a lot of the environment currently so that you could still not bypass if you jumped. Why is jumping such a big deal? It's never put ANYTHING into the game other then 1 or 2 jumping puzzles in a dungeon that screw over people who might lag "Hi Draupnirs Cave!". There's no reason you HAVE to jump...ever. How often are you jumping around in real life? Ever tried doing that in full body armor or a robe? Which raises another issue, clothing would have to be tweaked so it didn't clip while doing a jump animation or it would just look sloppy. I
Name me 1 reason jumping should be a standard in MMOs. Coming from WoW 99% of the time I used the jump key it was out of boredom and bouncing around.
