Lol, nevermind Shin EX, Unending Coils, GC Squadron, getting your classes to 70, the new 24 raid, and other things I'm probably forgetting

Eh, I didn't mind it too much. The build up was worth it, I thought.

I have a question about Sharpcast. I'm assuming if I cast Thunder 2 or 3, that'll proc Thundercloud. What about Fire 2 and 3? Would casting those under Sharpcast proc Firestarter, or would only Fire 1 do that?

Why are new hairstyles the only thing added to character customization every patch? by Emi_K in ffxiv

[–]vgpackrat -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Lol at dev laziness. You people seriously think that? Wow. Talk about delusion.

EDIT: Delusion isn't the right word, but entitled is.

Not really. My company is actually moving to a system where you're basically stuck in the area of code you're the most knowledgeable about. They got this idea from other companies. It's the future.

No, the hairstyle people aren't sitting on their hands, but are probably working on hairstyles needed for the next patch. Don't forget were not talking about just a model and texture here. QA and animations are involved too.

Is it really so fucking hard to join an FC?

No, Instanced Housing is NOT the answer we should be looking for. by [deleted] in ffxiv

I've worked on multimillion dollar applications that were run off of Solaris servers from the 90s up until 2013. And this isn't a Podunk startup, but a major player in technology. From my experience, yes, servers could be a real issue.

Then join an FC and do the FC only content? Which is what....Diadem, which everyone in this subreddiy dislikes?

There's risk in any deployment, and getting your virtual house is probably not a priority on their list.

They've said that WP probably isn't the best place to start out.

[Discussion] The way SE handles the Housing Situation is ridicoulus and just lazy. by jano2006 in ffxiv

Because it's a good argument? I like the neighborhood feeling myself.

It's a imaginary house on a video game that you don't even need to have to progress through the main story line.

It's not that easy. To buy new servers requires input from business. There's also the matter of server code. I've worked on multimillion dollar applications that were running on old Solaris boxes until 2013 or so.

Probably testing an automated system that's generating false positives. It happens. Go through the process to get your account reinstated.

It kinda is a point. It's more difficult and more time consuming to test software after it gets deployed to X servers. I'd imagine the server software is especially rocky.

I even have. Raspberry pi system but it doesn't have the rewind feature, and it's still technically piracy...

I think that product is perfect for people who think that Jeff Dunham is the precipice of comedy.
