EXPECTED RESULT

I expect the visual effects of quantum drive to not be present when I do not have quantum drive active.
I expect to be able to control my character normally after exiting from my spacecraft.
not to die
Not being able to glitch through walls, or not being able to be outside of the station without a suit
my ship should have stayed on the landing pad
My game not to crash... and not to ruin my monitors. no evidence.... because my monitors are crashed so i cant take screen shots
Rifle and other weapons shouldn't be in your hand while in a cockpit
i should always have crosshairs
It should not crash
To be able to walk through the ship without the need to crouch.

The best part is, I think they can't have these effects because they already have a fudged system where you are underwater anyway (the splashes now and then on your visor) - so they can't even hammer in a system where you 'drown' because hey, they disabled that already ha ha

We really all should have seen this coming when the "the ships were having issues because they were drowning" news came out. Shame on us for not following it to its logical, horrible (and amusing) conclusion.

I have had a few AMD video cards over the last few PC builds that worked fine, but I see no reason not to get NVidia cards for the next PC builds I do for my wife and I.

I played 4 hours of Overwatch last night

No crashes

Lots of fun and some close matches

Good gameplay and graphics

Rock solid framerate

Better characterization coming from character emotes and voice clips than Chris Roberts has ever written

All in a game that exists and is only $40 and has had proper patches and balance updates since launch :dva:

I always remember how FFXIV devs have gotten a bad rap with how slowly they implement anything that would increase network/server load. Like people wanted a proper wardrobe feature after 2.0 released, they came back after a while and said that they couldn't implement it because it would cause way too much network congestion and that the best they could do was a transmog system. They implemented player housing in a very limited way and have since slowly increased the available instances for housing but also added a system to delist houses that aren't being used anymore. They've been mentioning that they want to increase player storage, but they have to work a little more with the DBs and network structure before they can whip it out.

Its one of the most consistent and stable MMOs in the market. These are people that know what they are doing and everything they do is measured with how it would affect server performance, how it would affect already implemented systems. Each patch adds content they can build upon, like a proper foundation. You ask them about the state of the game and they have a very accurate view of whats coming out in 3 months, whats coming out in 6 months, whats coming out in the expansion and what the first few content patches for the expansion are going to be about. This is a properly managed MMO.

In contrast CIG doesnt know when 2.5 is coming out, doesn't know what it will have in it but definitely knows what it wont have in it. They also know that its going to run like poo poo, its going to full of bugs and that they need to get the poo poo at least presentable looking for Gamescom.

The other thing to keep in mind is not only is all of the above true, they had to work within certain frameworks left over from the disaster that was FFXIV 1.0 AND continue supporting the PS3 version, with all the resource limitations inherent in the platform.

Online gaming is hard to do and it is going to be drat near impossible without actual planning and foresight.
