So what do you think the level cap will be raised to with the expansion pack?

Long-term, it makes it easier for new players to get into the game and get to endgame without such a daunting amount of lvls to plow through.

My problem with an idea like that is that i'm looking for the opportunity to spend more stat disbursement points.

We get a patch roughly every 3 months. 2.4 is scheduled for end of October. 2.5 therefore would be January... given that 2.5 is the final patch before the expansion the exp pack would likely be released no later than April 2015. I don't know why people keep assuming it'll be end of next year. The current release schedule is pretty easy to work out.

They mentioned one would not need to clear primals/Coil etc to enter new content in 3.0. I would not be consequent if this would not apply for craft/gather stuff. I too wonder what decision they'll make.

Im going with 25 extra levels.

Though I think they did say summoners and scholars are getting the biggest changes when the expansion hits.

I am willing to bet Summoners will not be getting all the egi from primals. I foresee 2 added egi, Levi and Shiva. I very much doubt there will be a king mog or ramu egi.

So I would say 10 level addition is about right.

Are the patches every 3 months? For some reason i thought it was longer.

Yes they are about roughly every 3 months.

It is. Their intention is every 3 months, but usually it turns into around 110 - 120 days. So somewhere May - June 2015 would be more likely for the expansion pack to his if that pace is kept up. With in that case it still being fresh directly prior to E3 may not be a bad thing either.

I think the patch delays thus far have been attributed to things like developing the PS4 client, the Chinese client, and the DX11 client in sequence. Once everything is finally uniform, I'm sure that the development time between patches will drop.
