If I don't care about a game I won't even say anything.
If it is really unwelcome to put my thought here, then fine I can go elsewhere.

I agree with most of what you said in your post & I also have one major complaint about the game.

In the story quests & class quests, you have to fight by yourself & other people cannot join you. I find this extremely stupid because this is MMO & not some single player game from 10 years ago. doh.gif

yea dont get me wrong as well...the game is awesome in certain way and the feels is like final fantasy...but it really needs a change in the battle system where TP is unlimited imho but skill are restricted to spamming....i know TP is not unlimited if u are using sprint etc before battle lol.

my thau has aoe which is blizzard 2 but the AOE is something like having it on ur character instead of casting it in a location..it binds mobs movement for 2sec..i did not manage to play the game's dungeon yet so i am not sure how good this game going to be but i hope it will not be a 1month game

Have you played the quest, "Duty, Honour & Country"? I want your opinion on that quest because you are playing as Thaumaturge.

it's a main story quest at level 15.

for there is just keep on blizzard + fire in range distance and sleep it while nearing me but sleep do have a diminishing return so beware on that...at the end while his hp around 50% i will use the other instant skill to finish it of by kitting it but around 40 or 30% the gargoyle hp will come in that human NPC to help...so should not be a problem...as for his 1st poison hit, u need antidote for that and hope there is no 2nd poison atk

What about the level 15 class quest near Dry Bone? Did you complete it?

i die on there twice before realizing can just sleep and sprint them to get the urn haha and the urn requires interaction means its going to be casting to open the urn
*
because I died a lot of times doing that quest, I skipped it & continued the main story quest until I unlocked the first dungeon.

the dungeon is fun to play but the only problem is you have wait to find a party. Hopefully, when duty finder in enabled in this week's test, finding a party will be much easier.

I think they close the servers during the weekdays to gather data. I heard that when phase 4 of the beta begins, it will be open 24/7.

I still think single player story quests & class quests is dumb.

MMO is not single player game. They should change so people have the option of inviting friends to help in the quests.

Isn't it more like the aesthetic than graphics for you smile.gif , for example if they remove all the nekomimi costumes from FF14.....

Then you will see more then half of the beta players quit this game because their favourite cute costumes are gone. tongue.gif

This is my opinion and my thoughts only.

Honestly I care non for the English beta forum. For me their discussion looks like kids war, everyone think their opinion is the best and must not be countered. Someone may not like some aspect of the game, but that "some aspect" might not annoyed other players and these "other players" either just accept it or even like it. It's a never ending loop. No one game can cater to all the taste of the individual gamers. There's one exception though, when one aspect really fail to amuse the large public, then it will be listened to and actions taken upon to remedy it. For example the failure of 1.0 and the constant upgrade and remake of the game. So maybe if you really don't like some parts of the game system, please do not force other to accept how you feel. Best action should be posting your feedback to SE on the feedback forum. The English forum is just a troll paradise where every fans is bored till the next playable test date, and thus just watch every new threads/post like a vulcher.

For my own thoughts of the game. Well, I really like it. If you ask me to give a personal score, I would give 9/10. Not max because I'm concern with the job system, and leveling pace. I felt that the pace is too fast but maybe it's due to beta and everything concerning leveling is sped up. If however this is actually the pace during launch, I will accept it since I do not think it's such a big deal for myself.
- Graphics is really good, superb actually. TERA nor GW2 which are hyped on graphics can't even compete at this level.
- Character motions and visuals are just too pretty and fluid.
- Gameplay such as FATE, quest seeking, guildhest, leves, dungeons, well, just like any other mmos so nothing special.
- Battle system is so-so on the approach factor. However it's excellent in action-graphic-wise. I do agree it need to be tweaked.
- Class/Job system. The only mmo nowadays that let you have all in one character which why I fell in love with the game.
- Sound/Music is superb and can never be heard from other mmos. 

This is getting long, but my final thoughts on why the game will not fail me is due to the development team. I left 1.0 after 2 or 3 weeks, can't remember, around time when the producer letter starts or when feedbacks were asked. Seriously, I never thought that the communication between the development team and the community players continue until now. This is the first game that I have seen that the communication between both party is so strong. Dev Team do look at the feedbacks and if it's valid in their point of view, they will carried it out. Best thing is from time to time they'll show players what's to be expected. From what I've seen, and if FF14 is anything like FF11 in the evolution aspect. I strongly believe that there'll be lots of content during end-game as well. However this remain to be questioned since at beta we won't know for sure.

Anyway, I do suggest that don't be too picky. If one aspect really put you off to enjoy the game as a whole, my advice is well, give feedback to the dev team (not to the trolls in general discussion in beta forum). If no improvement is made (in your own opinion), either accept or put the game down.

Last short story. I've introduced the game to 4 friends of mine. We met in other mmo 3 yrs back and remain friends and kept contact with skype/wataspp etc. I've got them 4 beta keys. They tested on it last friday-sunday. Today they're all in depression and complained the 2 day test short period lol. They've never seen such beautiful mmos, and can change class on-the-go. They usually don't have sound switch on since we're on skype, but I told them to turn on the volume, they're mesmerized by the quality of the music. These are 4 people who always spend alot in F2P mmo with cash shops, and they now never want to go back to those mmo they were playing.  The fact that their english is primary school standard, and they're enjoying the game, it's already a success for the dev team.

your friends aren't the only one suffering from depression. All of us here are having withdrawal symptoms. laugh.gif
