For sure. 2.0 will make or break this game really...if they start it off by delaying it...D=

i think they'll delay it, but only for story purpose. Would be strange releasing 2.0 without the fallen meteor (and i want to be in 1.x: it would be like a marking stone)

Its now delayed to 6-9, so 3 weeks past the original date so is still not quite a month. It also makes me wonder why people kept thinking the patch would be out before March, this post was made early in February iirc.

We knew the patch wouldn't be out until March because of that post and when I looked at the calendar I assumed the 8th (thursday of first full week of march) which is quite close to when its going to be.

Original timeline expectancy - "Early February 2012 - Patch 1.21". Current estimated release date - Early March.

Thats a month late from the original expected timeline.

It makes me wonder why people like you don't read posts properly, and just lounge upon opposing something that is a fact.

I've bolded the part's you clearly have trouble reading.

Hopefully there will be another 3 week delay so we can have the server merges before the patch. Putting the patch out when many people can't play it is just stupid. I will have no interest in the content 3 weeks after the patch.

Its not late. I garuntee you it will be right on time........or your money back

money back? orly?

I wouldn't worry too much about it. People always come back when a new patch is released.

...Yeah no one in Japan plays FFXIV.

If they do delay it it will be because of the players (look at the server merge situation)...so the only delay could have the blame placed on the players crying over things.

Yes, the players are the ones causing internal bugs and problems during testing and development.

I'd love for you to list your main character rather than hide behind a mule you foolishly purchased for the sole purpose to act like a completely obnoxious person on these forums.

Anyway.....

I am not always negative with SE. I give credit where credit is due. I don't mind delays what-so-ever like some have complained about. However, lately the developers have been making unintelligent decisions and have been completely overlooking customer service. Honestly, I don't even think it crosses their mind. The first merger setup was admittedly worse on the current customers and future customers and easier on the development team stating that it was easier for THEM to implement. That's not acceptable policy for a now pay to play game.

I think you seem like a intelligent person. You should know the difference between being negative and giving constructive criticism even if it seems harsh. It's harsh because that's the scale of how ridiculous it is and if it wasn't then there would be need for them to change it. There have been many things implemented that got great back lash and still pushed through. This is because of the developer's confidence in their work. As far as the mergers go, they obviously knew it was a cop out and that's why it was quick in it's reform and why we should get loud.

Lastly, I know there are circumstances not known by any of us under when or how this information reached famitsu. However, the way it looks makes it seem like it was known through this entire week that it was delayed probably even more time before that.

Option ① would be the most straight forward option and also it’s also the option that we can execute with the least cost. However, this option was most likely not a viable option for the players in Europe. Also, we believed it was too forceful to merge the Worlds based on population as it might also cause a lot of stress for the destination World. Overall, this would be the safest way to go.

---

I've always wondered why so many people think that option 4 was the easiest for the Devs when they clearly say it's not.

Here's the full script, just in case.

everyone was saying end of feb for patch! I kept saying nope I bet it will be 2nd week of March! Guess I wasn't to far off xD

I agree that is was wrong with how the initial decision was made. However SE quickly revised their plans when the community reacted. There are many developers/publishers out there who don't care enough to even do that. Please note that my post wasn't necessarily directed at you. Its very easy to be apart of the mob mentality around here.

Sometimes it is hard to see the forest through the trees. Honestly the XIV dev team has been overworked to the point of exhaustion trying to restore the good graces of the final fantasy fan base. Sometimes ill decisions will be made, and not necessary with the worst intentions at heart. That is why the community is here to speak up. It easier to make blanket accusations against SE than sit back and looking at a larger perspective. Criticism is great, as long as its constructive. However the community at large here and in-game are usually complaining without offering any suggestions for improvement whatsoever. That my friend isn't criticism but whining from incessant cry babies.

That is exactly my point. Instead of everyone here irrationally saying "ZOMG SE KNEW THIS AND ONLY TOLD FAMITSU!!!11", lets look at the other possibilities like non-entitled adults do.

I still find it interesting that people help SE to that timeline so strictly, people do realize that things like that are more guidelines then anything. Things happen, people get sick, workstations crash, all this adds up to delays.
