I'm planning to host one every month up until the release of 2.1

It wasn't a mistranslation, Japanese says the exact same thing. I think December sounds more probable, and I don't mind waiting. I'm having fun doing other stuff on the game. Leveling other jobs, crafting, gathering etc. I like how there isn't a rush to quickly clear the content, means I can go at my own pace.

Yup. I've never heard of an MMO to release content more than two months apart.

GW2 is about it with it's every 2 weeks in that regard. However what I've never heard of is an mmo in the last 5 years or so that wants to be any kind of success that waits 3+ months for the majority of it's qol fixes that most people clamor for at launch.

Since people love to use WoW as an example I do too :)
Yes somtimes it had content updates 2 month apart. But those were occasions and not the norm. More often than not stuff is/was around 5month after the last.

I seen this yesterday and was like ?@!* If 2.1 doesn't come out by the end of Nov then I'm out. There is already little incentive to get on more than a few times a week now, Can pretty much cap myth in a few hours. But I heard some stuff about Nov 14th and 2.1 but those are just rumors. I would like to spend the time leveling another job to 50 but since we can only gear one job to the max (Relic/CoB gear) don't see the point.

Looks like this game will go down faster than 1.0 did, Don't think they will have Super Legacy status to save FFXIV this time around.

Edit "If" they push 2.1 back to end of the year then they better be doing an overhaul on Crystal Tower Gear/Difficulty. There would be no point in adding it late Dec early Jan because by that time most people should/will have most if not full Relic/CoB gear for their main job.

I think this is where the game is going to start feeling the effect of a complete redesign. In almost every other MMO, when it's shipped generally the first major patch is almost done, the second being worked on, and assets for many future projects also being started. With ARR prehaps all the assets went into launching the redesign with no time to meaningfully start designing future content. So we may be looking at a situation where all the major patches take much longer than most other MMOs just simply due to not having the time to get as much progress in advance. All conjecture of course... but it seems likely.

The crazy thing about Crystal Tower is it's supposed to be done, it's not them creating new content. Like they said it was supposed to be ready for launch but they had to rebalance it to fit appropriately as a casual pre-coil raid. Is it seriously taking them this long to do that?

Who said anything about WoW? That's one MMO out of thousands...

Adding open world progression/end game can go a long way to extending the life of patches and seriously needs to be looked into. Something ala sea/sky

Yeah, you should probably unsub, probably best thing for you.
