for sure ^^

As for the summer event, I am pretty sure we got it in 1.18 and that they don't need to have a patch to activate it, but maybe they do need to add stuff for it. Who knows.

It's not Ishgard. It's not chocobos. It's not even airships. It's swimsuits for you to /pose in.

strike a /pose

/targetmode d

they already said its the summer event.

Edit: yup just double checked summer even is the 11th so i dunno what this is. my bad

Summer event starts the 11th tho. And they should already have the data for it from the giant 1.18 patch. I dont think any other actual patches were merely for events in the past. This is 1.18b, not some emergency maintenance patch :).

Where did they say that they were putting a patch 1.18b for the summer event?

They said it will start august 11th, we should already have the data downloaded for it.

They didn't say anything of the sort, and the data for the summer event was already added with 1.18 (DAT miners uncovered it).

Right. All the summer event stuff was in 1.18 (or at least most of it). They've never had to patch to activate an event or to take one down. I'm hoping for a little more than just the summer event. A few fixes here and there for little things that may be occurring.

This is probably it, lol.

Tho, im hoping for the gladiator buff they forgot ^^.

Probably bug fixes. Pretty fast turn around for that though.

[CHANGES]
* One guildleve has been added.

You go to sleep sir, with your blasphemy!

Speaking of which, maybe its the vendor stand patch, in which vendors will cease their false advertising! :D

we can always hope. i have a feeling it's activating the summer event. if i'm not mistaken each event was started after a patch so they may be all done server side to activate it so would have to turn off the servers to execute. it's only speculation, but it just sounds right. granted, it may be a few bug fixes as well, but i feel the event is the majority.

I am hoping 1.18a started a trend of actual patches that aren't emergency patches actually adding a decent amount of stuff.

Pretty sure it's not for the summer event too :P.

Actually they also state a changelog will be available as soon as the patch hits. A purely event-based patch has no need for a changelog (in my opinion). The lodestone post about the event contains more than enough information, we need no changelog to spoil all surprises of the event.

I don't think so. The patch is tomorrow on August 10th, the event starts on the 11th. If they needed a patch to activate it they would have to wait until the 11th for that magic patch.

It's only logical that if they could have it activate on the 11th from tomorrow's patch that they could have it activate on the 11th from the July 27th patch (which had the event data in) and therefor would not need another patch to do so.

They never make a, b, or c patches for events. They are always in the major versions of the patches before the event begins.

b would be more bug fixes and minor game changes to improve functionality. As someone else joked about, target mode D. That is a more safe assumption than anything... kidding or not.

I second this and the Target mode D theory ^^

Good for them if they get fixes for bugs that quickly and even better if they throw goodies like in 1.18a (though no one should expect anything more than bug fixes)

Wonderful another patch that will take hours to download regardless of it's size.

Yeah probably nothing more than some quick fixes, but I think we should keep in mind that there have been two small bug-fixing patches before 1.18a happened, and those weren't lettered at all. So yup, something new like target mode D.

Or full keyboard customization! (or "[dev1126] The Enter key can now be mapped.") :D

System
*[dev7777]Removed keyboard support
*[dev6666]Removed mouse support
*[dev5555]Fixed resolution at 720p
*[dev4444]Reduced maximum memory usage to 256MB

Increased rank cap!...to 51.

I will slap(slay) Yoshida silly if i see only bug fixes in a lettered patch lol. But yea, shouldn't really hope for too much, even tho I want to. But looking at how much was in 1.18a, I'm expecting better things from all lettered patches in the future.

Activate event + maybe bug fixes.

Just to say it out loud. If it's really a new, new addition, airships is at MAXIMUM the best we can hope for, since they have started travelling since 1.18a with the nearby NPC's stating that they are currently testing the airships.

But I won't hold my breath :(

Airships have been traveling since alpha... >_>

I will be extremely surprised if it's a major addition that's gone unannounced.

But what bug fixes are needed, I wonder?

Haha yeah I wouldn't expect that but if it did happen, people would wet their pants and there will be endless thread of praise to the dev team for sure.

Oh? Didn't know that.

Anyhow, I (and some others) noticed that in Gridania you could see the airship docked pre 1.18a, while now since 1.18a it has left its docking station.
Just making assumptions (which are probably untrue but hey, I like speculating)

I was just kidding. Everyone knows that we will get Musketeer, Arcanist, Chocobos, Airships, Jobs, Ifrit, Male Miqo, Female Roe, 6 new dungeons, 100 new sidequests, 10 new company quests, NMs, new maps! They must have something since it's been so long since last patch.

On a serious note I know they have included all models for event but did the put the quest itself in it? They might put the quest on timer when it will start. I won't expect anything major from these lettered patches thanks to 1.17b.
