So I'm a pretty frequent reader on the forums and I don't recall seeing my question. Which is: when is patch 1.18 due? An ETA? We're due for another Producers letter any day now too.
I do recall the producer saying that patch 1.18 is due sometime mid-june, but I was wondering if we have an update on that? Such as did SE hold back the release longer, sooner?

With E3 coming up next week, I wouldn't really expect anything until after next Thursday myself, assuming Yoshi has to make an appearance there.

I'm sure the webmaster can post content without the aid of all the staff and development team, and im also sure that someone can take a printscreen without stopping development to figure it out... I could even go take a printscreen now its that easy!Quote:

1.18 was said to go live before the end of Spring, and more recently, mid-June at the earliest. Considering that, except it to be somewhere between the 14th and 20th. I don't understand why you guys want new info every other day, they're doing a fine job with that with the dev. trackers. I'd prefer they spend more time fixing issues and designing content than deciding what info will be going live for the day.
Also, don't expect anything huge from 1.18. It will be bigger than what we've been used to getting up until now, but nowhere near expansion pack size. Among these updates I would expect the following:
Auto Attack core system, very basic implementation of the AA system.
The 3 Grand Companies and their leaders, very basic implementation.
Abolition of physical levels (maybe)
2 (Two) Dungeons, 1 for r50 and 1 for r30, likely in the same zone (Toto-Rak.) Anyone expecting more is just setting themselves up for disappointment.
Implementation of Quest Hubs, again, most likely very basic.
New gear and new recipes.
Small bug fixes, server stability fixes, MW stability fixes, yet another targeting fix, enmity algorithm adjustments, maybe some attribute adjustments, and maybe a surprise or two.
Don't expect anything more than that. If we do get anything that's not in that list consider it a bonus. And no, I didn't forget to mention abolition of surplus. It was stated in letter X that it would be implemented following the battle system changes, likely at the end of summer. -
06-05-2011, 12:30 PMSteelcycloneI agree. I hate how there is basicly zero info on how things are going. A short video showing the redesigned battle system, or even a few screen shots. If there patch was going to come out tommrow, the info would be posted today. Dont know why they continue to do that.Quote:

All other information could be obtained through other staff members (you know, the ones actually responsible for that), not necessarily the ones directly coding anything.Quote:

06-06-2011, 12:00 AMGreencactaurIts not that hard to edit a website dude it takes 10-15 minutes at max. Surely yoshi can atleast spend 10-15 minutes just updating us on the status of the next patch....Quote:

06-06-2011, 12:26 AMGrissHopefully yoshi-p has goten the lodestone team to implement video embedding like he mentioned in his last letter. And i think were about due for another shot of info in the form of a producer letter.Quote:

3) Possible Video embedding for showcasing the patch 1.18 ( that a bonus if so) -

Like usual they'll probably wait until the last possible moment to upload it. My guess is that after about 5 tweak updates we'll be seeing more substantial content if they're not pulling the "we're focusing on the ps3 version so no stuff for 6 months now" -trick.

XI forum already has video embedding in place, so I think XIV forum has it too.

The sequence may not be exactly the same, but in big corporations there is a significant amount of red tape to go through, and the bigger the corporation, the more true this is. The community reps have a little more leeway, but undoubtedly have some clear guidelines as to what they can share. -

"To coincide with the addition of dungeons, a number of actions and skills will receive tweaks ahead of time, the details of which will be released at a later date."
