1.17b IS coming!

I kinda expect it to be only groundwork for the 1.18 patch. Nothing noticeable but stuff to reduce the size of 1.18 when it is released.

I think we'll get those quest hubs and some ability changes.

We might not even get anything, if its part of 1.18 which is not ready then it is most likely because 1.18 is like 1GB or something lol and they want to get half out now that wont affect the game. Thats just my guess anyway :D but we'll see.

We'll probably find out in the producer's letter we should be getting tomorrow, even though we just got the battle report we still have the letter due with the updated chart and such.

though seriously we will more then likely see some additional side quest, an escalation of the game world going to hell in a hand basket, and the early skill/ability tweaks that were mentioned in the battle blue print.

the glitched imp outside copperbell mines on wutai server is going to be fixed. that is all..

lol jk hope it's something good~ ' w')/

Matsui actually states this in the blueprints:

"To coincide with the addition of dungeons, a number of actions and skills will receive tweaks ahead of time, the details of which will be released at a later date."

So it could be some ability changes and what-not.

It would be nice if most of the battle system adjustments made it into 1.17b and maybe a few NMs, while all the content or at least most hit with 1.18.

An issue where the cap of 20 skill points per action has been exceeded has been addressed.
An issue where someone had fun doing something has been addressed.
An issue where weapons and armor didn't wear out fast enough has been addressed.

- An issue where in-game vendors didn't sell any bacon has been addressed.
