Cytuj:
As always, we would like to thank you for taking part in the FINAL FANTASY XIV Alpha Test.
Over the course of making adjustments to the game, we have encountered several unforeseen issues, and we would like to apologize for the delays these have caused, as well as the length of time we have allowed to pass between posts. Despite our efforts over the weekend to improve load balancing and server stability, players have not been able to test the game to its full extent.
During the test period conducted a few days ago, it was discovered that the game server was crashing under certain conditions, and I am glad to say that we have made some headway with this problem. However, a bottleneck of sorts is arising as improvements in server stability are impeding our ability to recreate and address previously reported bugs. We ask for your patience while we continue to examine the issue.
There has been a good deal of feedback from testers expressing concern over the slow pace of combat. I would like to assure you that this is due largely to the current server load balancing issues. Unfortunately, such difficulties have so far prevented players from playing the game at the level of quality we envisioned.
We would like nothing more than to have testers continue playing the game, and must therefore ask for your understanding as we further investigate this problem and examine several possible solutions. (Also, one may be able to notice an improvement in latency by engaging in combat only in the open areas or dungeons located far from Camp Bearded Rock.)
In addition, we are also planning to reassess and introduce changes to the user interface, battle system, and in-game motion. These will most likely be implemented in the Beta Test scheduled in the coming months. We are extremely grateful for the enormous amount of helpful posts we have received despite the relatively short testing times. Rest assured that we will be attempting to incorporate as much of this feedback as possible into any changes we make to the game. In the meantime, I hope that all of you will continue in your roles as testers for the alpha test phase, and I look forward to receiving more of your invaluable feedback.
