3.1 needs to be absolutely great

3.2 is the PvP patch that's what i'm really hyped for just wish we had more BGs, and seasonal rewards. 3.1 will be interesting I just hope it'll keep me interested until 3.2 I love this game and the people I play with but it does indeed have flaws in it. There's not a perfect game on the market, if there was the whole world would be playing it.

FFXI did this properly imo. I was able to use my Aegis all the way to level cap and updates were consistently added to keep the relic weapons relevant and awesome. Too bad the devs seem so keen on undermining the torturous grind they put us through. :(

FFXI uses horizontal progression, not vertical. Even at the times it did use vertical (Abyssea level cap increases, introduction of the iLevel) it still eventually went back to horizontal over time.

I foresee the usual it's great! Then the oh we're bored & content is so boring and repetitive comments :)

I'm expecting hours of fun wandering around the world in search of things, an enjoyable relic quest, more lore to peruse while I decide which God to offer up my lala sacrifices to, and laughing endlessly at how horrible Void Ark groups will be!

The word 'expectation' does not exist in my world. I do not expect nor do I do not expect something to be. I simply lack the concept of expecting. Why?

When you expect time A to B for something to be released, you needlessly wasting time thinking about something that is yet to exist. Just let it come when it does, no need to wait for it. It will come when the time comes for it. It makes life easier that way, so that you can focus on what's actually in front of you. Instead of having to worry about being 'disappointed' about something after months of waiting.

That's fine and all but I am sure others feel differently because they are investing time and money in something and if they feel its not worth it...well, then there's gonna be problems ^^;

That is true... but one can never fully be satisfied. True you are investing time and money into this game, you are sure to have some level of expectation for the next. But I would still say it's just simply needless to waste energy at this point.

If 3.1 includes Hildibrand Season 2 then it will be magnificent.

Expecting anything sets you up for disappointment if it doesn't come to fruition. I prefer to just enjoy the game as it is, and be pleasantly surprised if new patch adds stuff I like. If new patch isn't that great for my tastes, I still can enjoy what was there before.

This thank you i mean it don't matter what SE makes ppl are going to trash and bash them for it. Every patch ppl come rushing back and burn them self out to come on here to trash talk then un sub till the next patch

That'll be the Season 2 Finale again. But this time he'll end up in like Churning Mists or Sea of Clouds... and depart vertically DOWN.

You know the sad part... I always have my expectations set to low with patches... I mean just once in all this time I'd like to have them set high and be pleasantly surpised about it. But history kinda has a way of repeating itself.

Though the island exploration stuff sounds really fun I don't really know what to expect from it - it sounds like open world dungeons really... but a bit more controlled(i.e. limited amount of parties in an instance).

And well with 2 zetas and going on 3rd I will be working on the new relic but I really wish they would make it so that those that want to grind it out can do it in a few days while those of us that want to do various stuff can do it an a few weeks(like mby 3-4 weeks without actually doing anything trully grindy). But I know I will most likely be disapointed and will again have some RNG grind like atma that took me 2 months to get all the first time while most of my friends were on books after 3 weeks :(

I wish the last scene of Hildibrand season 2 will be a cast wide dance off that be funny.

-Terribly unplayable lord of vermillion that will need maintenances, several hot-fixes and will be a grindfest (as anything in this game tbh).
-Green gatherer/crafter scrips for even more fun. New moonstones II and impossible to make needing gazillions in gear and totally omnicrafting dependant specialist actions that will make the few standing crafters leave.
-More booring, repetitive, coma inducing beast tribe quests dependent on FATE spawn.
-More relic, thats bad enough as it is.

Time lockouts, grind, weekly caps, grind, RNG, RNG, and spice it up with some grind.

This describes 100% of FF14 from the start of the game. Why are you playing again?

No matter how well the content is developed and no matter how long it holds your attention, people will still complain. True story.

Is not the same having 2 people complaining than having 1 million complaning. That argument is no reason to think things can`t change and in fact, improve.

Is there a summary for what 3.1 will have?

as long they dont remove that very broken RNG system Im not on hype mode. <.<;
