about "wait till V2.0"

something thats bugging me actually

people keep saying wait till V2.0 is released and so on.

how many people who have said that CHECKED the road map?

cause V2.0 isnt for another 12 months MINIMUM!

then account for set backs, delays, natural occurances, budgetary delays, marketing delays and so and so on you could be looking at 15-18 months.

i see "wait till 2.0" mostly in reply to pleas for more content, so heres my view.
JUST ASUMMING IN THIS INSTANCE, 1.20 and 1.21 are already released, you expect us to wait a year without more content until V2.0 is released.

try to use "wait till 2.0" a little more constructively.

oh n for all the trolls...

flame away...

edited in for clarity

just wish people would sway away from "wait till 2.0 is out" and actually give people information. its like you go to the doctors and have this conversation.

doctor: well your terminally ill
you: whats wrong with me?
doctor: well you'll have to wait untill we find a cure for me to tell you

why not just say what the illness is?

translating that to FFXIV

poster 1: i want more content, blah blah blah, cry cry cry
poster 2: wait until 2.0 is out

it should be...

poster 1: i want more content, blah blah blah, cry cry cry
poster 2: well 1.20 has new content and features being brought it, theres a roadmap under "this" link, check it out and you will see that they have alot of work but my the time 2.0 is out it'll be a whole new game and we have more patches coming before then and new content being brought in before 2.0 as well.

Have you?

Mid-April: patch 1.22

Early to mid-July: patch 1.23

September to october: 2.0 beta starts.

They don't expect us to wait a year without more content. They only expect us to read the documents released before bitching about the dev roadmap.

It's a lot of work to make a game, let alone overhaul a game. I see nothing wrong with this. By the time 2.0 is released a lot of issues will be resolved which is holding back a lot of fixes and content (and making it unnecessarily harder to do so till then) thus the 'wait till 2.0'.

So it is indeed being used constructively.

By the way, if you're Japanese Jennestia, how come you never post on the JP boards?

yeah, exactly, a year...

i've read all the documents, and all im saying is that "wait until v2.0 is out" is NOT a valid responce to threads asking for more content.

no point disputing it, you all know its true

not a valid reply for threads asking for more content.

"wait for 1.20 and 1.21" ARE valid because they are short term. 12 months + is long term and not valid to threads asking for more content.

now for threads rambling on about bugs and ect yeah fair play, wait till 2.0 is valid because 90% of the bugs we got will be eradicated like an exterminator swept through town doing free exterminations. but come on, for those asking for more content telling them to wait a year or more isnt a constructive reply.

And content patches are scheduled up until 3 months before 2.0. What the hell are you talking about? The patches don't stop at 1.21.

Some things can't be implemented until the servers are revamped and the engine improved. If you look at the calendar you would see that porting of existing content and debugging of new features starts in April and runs to October.

Frankly, 6 months for essentially a brand new game is pretty speedy.
