It's this exactly. A month and a half ago, Yoshi said he'd keep players in the loop as decisions about job-exclusive weapons delays progressed. After that, not one word was said by any devs or community reps about decisions to delay the weapons past 1.22a. We got to find out from the patch itself that what we were looking forward to was actually not included.

If the community is expecting to be filled in if things fall behind schedule, then it makes sense that silence is to be taken as though everything's running smoothly. "Oh, good, there must not have been any more problems because Yoshi said they'd keep us in the loop if there were going to be any more." So understandably, people were looking forward to checking out the new content tonight, and perhaps more importantly, Welcome Back players were expecting to have an opportunity to judge this new content during their ten days back. Now the joke's on them because their hopes were set up by a promise to be kept informed of problems as they arose, and then those hopes were falsely allowed to build into expectations based on the devs' silence.

The problem is not that there is a delay. The community understood when it was delayed the first time, because the devs mentioned it to us as they found out about it. The problem is that the players were not kept in the loop as promised. Instead the rug's been pulled out at the very last second, and no explanation what the heck happened is anywhere in sight. Way to make an impression on those Welcome Back players looking forward to joining us tonight.

For class weapons? Sorry, but the only useful thing here would be the THM weapon, can't say the other classes are competitive in any way to their Jobs..

This patch seems underwhelming. But it'll all be good in 1.22b. It's true we've seen much less come from patchs. But when ya think about it Hamlet being added in two locations is really alot. Even if not everyone likes the content. I haven't even tried it, but I'm kinda afraid to hearing all the complains of time spent vs reward. I wanna see whats up with these new recipes.

When you learn what the words High Chance to be implemented in patch 1.22a means then you can complain. Last time i checked that means we still may not get them in 1.22a.

We received far more than nothing in this patch. 1.22 was only 2 weeks ago and 1.21 was less than 2 months ago. SE has been great these past few months with releasing content. To see people freak out over this above-average lettered-patch is quite comical.

Always assume someone is a moron first, and call them out on it before checking yourself.

So im curious, does anyone know what these are for...

Inferno Seal Miscellany A hand-carved medal said to grant its wearer the protection of the Lord of the Inferno.
Vortex Seal Miscellany A hand-carved medal said to grant its wearer the protection of the Lady of the Vortex.

For the Primal fights? (sorry if its a dumb question, just didnt see any info on it)

Around these parts it's a safe bet.
