Patch 1.20: Dec 12
Patch 1.20a: Dec 27
Patch 1.20b: Jan 19
Patch 1.20c: Jan 31
Patch 1.21: March 8
Patch 1.21a: March 26

I could go on but you get the point. Look at that, all of the lettered patches fall within 2-3 weeks of the larger numbered patch or the last lettered patch. The gap between the last lettered patch and the next large numbered patch is much larger. It's called a pattern from which you can infer information. We're getting a large lettered patch now and they've said the summer event starts in the beginning of August, which falls within 3 weeks of today.

3 Weeks from today is 7/18 at the latest which is mid-August lol

Ar'nt they suppose to be in the "New Items" list?

Suspecting that list is incomplete or...yukatas will be added later.

Yukatas are not really new. Just a redesign. Like all the various colors of the bikini. The Summer Event usually starts on the first or second Monday of August (6th or 13th). So 2-3 more weeks.
I don't see why people are dissappointed - There are so many new areas opened up. New weather. New mechanics. I wonder what will happen to the person in caravan doing the stopping. Stopping severely limits battle opportunities. The skirmishes are also a puzzle. We were told the skirmishes will be something you can just jump into... no complicated pre-skirmish stuff... but this new info makes it sound like skirmish will NOT be something you just jump into. Oh well, 12 more hours and we will see...

I did say within 3 weeks. I'm fully aware of when mid-August takes place, I simply gave them a wider time range because at most the patches have taken about 3 weeks. Optimistically it would fall within 2 weeks but the pattern shows that it's usually about 2-3 weeks. Obviously it's a rough estimation but the pattern has held true for the other patches.

This trend has broken. 1.22 lettered patches contained things like the lieutennant promotion and associated quests - major content. They were also a bit more spread out in the calendar.

What's with the frowny faces everyone? Did you really think they'd toss in lots of content in the conclusion patch? Wouldn't really make sense considering the servers will eventually go down to introduce 2.0. Which is slowly but surely getting quite close.

Also I'm guessing like many of you, that they left quite a few small things out for spoiler reasons.

I mean nothing about landscape changes. Yet mobs are being rearranged in every (and quite specific) zones? hmm...
S-E is not telling us everything...>_>

I'm mostly talking about the time frame. Also:

There has been content added in lettered patches that didn't make it into the larger numbered patch. I acknowledged that.

Alright, but that doesn't explain why the patch notes are almost equal in match of a lettered patch though. I predicted No Spoilers so they didn't put much in the patch notes because of it. But just telling us the name of certain quests doesn't give us spoilers at all though, yet if there more to this patch than meets the eye.. How come they didn't put it in the patch notes?

What does that have to do with the time frame of lettered patches or the summer event? I mean that's entirely plausible, it's also possible that they left some content out for a lettered patch in August or even September.

I've read throught the notes several times, but I can't seem to find any info on this.

Well, I'm more concerned about the 1.23 main patch itself then a little summer event that's come 1-2 weeks from now. Even the 1.22 Main patch wasn't outbeat by a/b Lettered patched that were pretty big. I'm just worried is all.
