2.4

Do anyone know when exactly is 2.4 going to be released? I heard the end of September now i'm hearing end of October then mid november.

Well, September's already over, so that's out of the question. I guess we'll just have to see at Fanfest...or earlier if they decide to set a release date before the big event.

It's anyone's guess, but the end of this month at the very latest, after the Fanfest.

I'd rather have them fix the housing space issue and putting money to beefing up the servers.

Merely doubling the space is almost as good as doing nothing about it. You can be sure once 2.4 hits they will be congratulating themselves for giving us a handful of lots while every other player and Free Company is locked out from housing and chocobo raising until the end of time.

Well they said that they want add more housing spaces in 2.4 some time ago. Idk why you complaining about that.

Considering they are currently taking questions about 2.4 for the Live Letter that will occur during the Fanfest mid-late this month, I'd say that late October is the absolute earliest we'll see it. Unless they decide to do away with such things because of the Fanfest or something else, we should know it's coming sort of soon when they begin releasing teasers about new features on the Lodestone a couple weeks in advance like they have before every other major patch.

SO you'd rather have more houses before you get a new primal? New dungeons to run? Final Coil? A new class? I like your priorities.

They need to patch it soon, I am falling asleep with all these lockouts and repetitive content.

Mid November to combat WoD.

So would I. Primals are getting boring, it's the same stuff in every patch. What is wrong with wanting something different for a change. Many of us have been waiting for personal housing for over a year now.

I would say more along the lines of Oct. 28-30th, but again thats just a guess

We always thought november didn't we? 3 months between major patches made it line up that way.

Pretty sure 2.3 was early July, which would make October the release window for 2.4.

2.0 August 27th 2013
112 days to
2.1 December 17th 2013
100 days to
2.2 March 27th 2014
102 days to
2.3 July 7th 2014
89 days to
today is October 4th 2014

At the end of a patch cycle it's only natural that people are getting a bit bored, but info on what's to come, motivates people, and SE has been serverely lacking in that area for a good while now. Just look at the Lodestone. It's filled with info about the fanfests, contests, merchandise and all kinds of things not directly related to the game.

It doesn't help that they're (seemingly) witholding info because of the fanfests, either.
And now that it looks like they're about a month behind on 2.4 ( compared to the other patches) I doubt I'll be logging on much this month.

What they did was they made I dare say, "Hardcore" and "Casual" patches every other major patch. I guess I consider myself casual, as I love fluff content and some easier stuff like CT/ST so I had my chance here in 2.3.
The raiders and stuff get there's next in 2.4. I'm sorry to say they F$^!! up personal housing. I wanted it really bad too but not willing to sell my soul for it.
They should start mixing content for every one better and I'm starting to feel like 3 months are a stretch, they also lack in-game events. At least do weekend events or some crap...
This 1 year anni was a fantastic idea, we shouldn't have to do events whenever it's a holiday now. S:
Unless I'm missing random Eorzean events...Semi-Off topic there but Jesus lol. I hope 2.4 is soon.

What kind of events would you suggest? Not really like there's alot of things to do or celebrate outside of holidays. Do too many events, too, and you make them less events and more trivial affairs, leaving you to have to go above and beyond on the real events in order to make them stand out. It's a slippery slope you suggest there.

Probs in late december so they can make an excuse and make it look like they were trying to make it go along with december and the snow...
2.4 ( shiva posterchild ) + winter = haha guys its all relative

Considering how much is being added in 2.4 and how much stuff was tacked on in 2.38, to make downloading 2.4 smoother, they can take another month if needed. I don't want a D3 situation on a big day.

End of October early November would be a week behind normal schedule. I don't see much of a delay there

It should be 3 month (90 days ) between each major patch, it's not a week behind normal schedule it's 1 week between normal late schedule ^^.

Read ALL of Yoshi's post. They're doubling the SIZE of each Ward based on what he said, and the infrastructure changes they're planning would allow them to expand the number of Wards as much as they want to. The issue is that he wasn't sure if they'd be able to make the 2.4 cutoff on the software side due to large amounts of debugging being required. I'd imagine they're aiming for a dynamic system so new Ward instances add themselves. It's the only thing I can think of that would require a shitton of new code to debug. And yes they never stick to 90 days, but they always try to land it in the correct month so it should be by the end of this month.

Devs always said that big patches are supposed to be every 3 months, they are unfortunately, always late.

Wait, so does this mean the patch will only come on October 28th (considering patches are usually on Tuesdays) or somewhere in November? ;_;

Yeah most likely late november/early december. He uses the "It will come sooner than people think" line with 2.4 and the expansion. Most people expect by mid october, so ..

The Famitsu Connect Weekly date/information is a bit misleading. According to Enterbrain's website, it's knowledge/opinions/information, gathered from players as such it's a bit behind on the updates. For instance, the November issue(released in Sept.) was about 2.35 which came out a month earlier. Them talking about 2.38 in the december issue does not rule out an Oct 2.4 release date.

https://translate.google.com/transla...-text=&act=url

2.4 will more than likely be talked about in the Jan. issue since they seem to do analysis/player research. As opposed to the weekly/monthly famitsu which is more of a "here's some flashy stuff" platform.

My guess is right before Halloween or two weeks after Halloween.

When they say 3 months they don't mean 90 days on the dot. If Patch A lands at the start of July and Patch B drops near the end of October they're still within their three month window. As you can see it averages around 100 days which is a little over a week off. Not bad considering they deviated from their original intent and started doing sub-Patches every month which actually adds to development time.

How do you get late November out of October 28th =_=

Since the fan fest in Las Vegas has a 2.4 preview in its heading it will not be before then. But whenever Yoshi does a patch Preview in a live letter it normally comes out on the following Tuesday which would make it the 21st which also roughly aligns with the average time it takes before patches. I wouldn't put the 28th out of reach either because of a new job that would make patching far more difficult than the previous ones.

Yoshida deals in extremes, so being in November is definitely an extreme. Like last time he stated that 2.3 would be "sooner than we think" and it came in July, when time wise, it should have been around June :p

To be fair they had a power outage issue at their offices that delayed both 2.28 and 2.3 by around a week and E3 would have cost them a fair amount of time as well with several key Dev Team members being across the pond in L.A. for a week.

Let's cross our fingers that the Monday Live Letter on 27th is the premonition for a next day patch... Otherwise it'll be the first week(Tuesday) of November.
