Patch date

WOTG...now that's real content. As others are saying this won't be the end all be all of patches, but it's a step in the right direction (cross fingers).

On a side note:
Archer using bare fists really...? Where is the "Final Fantasy" creativity...

All archers should be able to carry a dagger or a small handaxe or SOMETHING. Fists seems rather ignorant to "class mechanic basics".

Prediction: August

Based on the following dev post, posted today on french forums:

Je comprends que beaucoup d’entre vous sont assez impatients et voudraient obtenir une date ferme concernant la sortie du patch 1.18. Malheureusement, à l’heure actuelle il est encore impossible de communiquer une date précise.

Je peux uniquement vous confirmer que si tout se passe bien, la mise à jour 1.18 arrivera ce mois-ci.

Translation:

I still cannot give you a specific date for 1.18. I can only confirm that IF everything goes well, it will be launched this month.

Oh dear...

I WOULD HOPE NO !

Were any of you around at the start of this game? This games first big patch(changed sp gains, added inventory, etc) came out on Thanksgiving day. November 25th. Not trying to make a big deal out of it since I dont think it matters, but a couple people have already posted they would never release on a major holiday when i already posted yesterday that they already did. *wooh out of breath end rant*

Happy independence day to my fellow americans.

It's a Japanese company. Of course an American holiday isn't going to stop them >_>

i have a feeling it will be at the end of the month.

I dont care when will they patch it as long the patch is good to go, they can release it anytime they want!! ARghhhh

too bad the "overhaul" just takes the time of an overhaul but seems like a cheap fix to me. The lack in creativity is huge among SE these days. No wonder they are in this current state as a company now. Slow, uncreative, way too ignorant.
But they keep on patching the dead horse MW... (a server merge with MW would be fun to watch lol...)
