Looks like 2.1 Patch won't happen until Dec.

Think it's pretty safe to assume if 2.1 isn't the future of the game people are looking forward to then they may as well abandon ship now. If it's not well received then do you honestly think people will hold on till 2.2+ just to see if it's received any better? This first patch is the make or break for them and if players find it bad you really think they'd give anything past it a chance? And no CT was taken out because it was more difficult than coil when the game was still in beta, they did not want something harder than coil even though you can clear 1-4 in coil in nothing more than dl bypassing the entirety of CT.

Haha... Oh Wow...

Yoshi said it himself that they took out CT because it was bugged and wasnt ready for launch.

got a source for where he said 2 months? Adding two extra weeks to 1.5 months isn't really that big of a jump so I saw what you said as pointless to me is all.

In the end, we have no choice it will come out when it comes out. =P

yep

I agree, they shouldn't stay if they are not having fun.

Ehh... 3+ months is a long time to wait for content updates, imo. I was really looking forward to seeing individual player housing for 2.1, but I was quite upset when they said it'd be 6 months AFTER 2.1 - that's half a year and another $60+ out of my pocket, more if it ends up getting delayed.

Once I get my last two classes to 50, there won't be much left for me to do except get my time-gated 300 Mythology/Coil run every week (or one day of grinding followed by 6 days of herp-derp) and slooooowly get my Valor and/or Allagan PLD gear, and work on relic weapons and darklight gear for jobs I don't really play that much. There's just too much focus on repetitive dungeon-spamming in the game right now. Oh, and don't even mention the Halloween event, as that only took less than an hour to do just to get two more items that won't go in the Armoire - rather disappointing. Maybe the Lightning FATE's will be interesting, but if they end up like how Odin and Behemoth have been going, I can't really "please look forward to it."

Guild Wars 2, a game that doesn't have a subscription fee, has gotten to where it churns out updates every 2 weeks... granted, a lot of them are hastily done and don't have much permanence to them, almost like this game's seasonal events. If I'm going to have to shell out $10 a month on ARR, then I'd like to see a good content update every month, maybe month and a half if it's a large update. Three months for every update just seems way too slow, and sets people up for boredom.

[Thotor]

It's sad.

I feel :
- Housing is taking too much resources from SE.
- FC Housing is less interesting than Personal Housing
- No content for players who have reached turn 5 (new content has all been confirmed as below Bahamut)

First, they said 2.1 would come earlier than scheduled (so before November) and now it is more December.
That means for players like myself who are in turn 5, we must wait till February-March before we get any content.
Waiting for content is not the real problem but in the current state All 4 turn are cleared in just 1 hour (maybe 2 at max). What are we supposed to do the rest of the week for 5 month ?
There is no way I keep my sub to play just 2 hours of raid every week.

>SE release a house special live letter.
>Live letter has tons of housing related questions.
>People lose their minds.

Wadafak.

EDIT: Also, not to downplay the importance of the 2.1 patch, but this game for just being released has much more content than most, if not all, MMOs that have been released during the first months. People take that for granted. And before you say it, no, the fact that this game is "technically 3 years old" doesn't downplay the virtue of this, since a lot of people are experiencing this content for the first time. And that's not even going into the fact that the actual quality of said content is superb.

[Arkista]

This is what will happen 2.1 will come out people will enjoy the new features and people will do Crystal Tower to fill in pieces they are missing and then use CT to gear other jobs, Then more people will speed through CoB and have nothing to do...... Until 2.2 that's when the game is going to really pick up, when CoB turn6-10 are added.

The gap between 2.1 and 2.2 is going to be exactly where we are today.

But I'm curious will people still be telling other that they shouldn't have rushed to End Game? Will they still be telling other there is plenty of stuff to do?

Oh I wonder what patch we will be on in 6 months 2.3?

[Linkschildhood]

I have all jobs to level 50 - I haven't gotten all the darklight pieces for all the jobs, Full Summoner/Black Mage. Almost Full Paladin/Warrior..... Then I will be working on WHM/SCH and then PGL/DRG for their darklight and obtaining their relics. have 3 relics already (BLM +1, SMN, PLD). Warrior will be my 4th.

All this did, was buy me more time, so I can only concentrate on new stuff! i am actually happy.

[Tupsi]

Haha... Oh Wow...

Yoshi said it himself that they took out CT because it was bugged and wasnt ready for launch.

He stated it needed to be rebalanced so it can be done via duty finder.

Correct me if I'm wrong - but who is to say that any of the 4 extreme mode primal fights, the new dungeon besides CT and the hard version of the old dungeons aren't just as hard or maybe even slightly harder than turn 4 (to allow you to earn gear to better your chances to take down turn 5). I mean CT, 5 new primal battles (4 extreme and one hard moogle), hard mode dungeons and a new dungeon could very well contain a plethora of challenging content. Extreme Titan will likely be an insane challenge alone. Give it time.

[peaches]

Fixed that for ya. ( not everyone is at level 50) in fact only roughly 20% (or less) of the population are level 50.

I don't have a level 50 yet ( I play all the classes and I don't mindlessly run FATEs all day long).

I have a 50, it doesn't mean I mindlessly grinded FATEs. In fact, the only FATEs I have ever done are those I happened across while questing. I leveled mostly off dungeons, and even then, I stopped leveling my combat class (Scholar) for a solid two weeks to focus on crafting. In that time I got Goldsmith and Alchemist to 50, Miner to 50, and I got my Luminary Pick. After all that was done, THEN I focused on getting a 50, and even then it was mostly so that I could get higher level materials for crafting.

But the thought of grinding nothing but AK and WP every day for weeks on end to gear myself out has me not even playing my 50 at the moment, and I actually was able to stand grinding dungeons to level. 19125 tomes is what it takes to get a full set of 2 star crafted gear. 200 runs of AK or WP. That is NOT FUN. Yea, those dungeons are pretty awesome, and I enjoyed every run I've done. But come my 50th run, it will stop being fun and more like a job. So I'm either stuck leveling another job on the dungeons I already did about 20 times each on my 50, or grind FATEs, because there certainly aren't enough quests to level off. Its either that, or stop playing the game until they add more 50 dungeons, and hard modes of older dungeons, all of which will hopefully drop tomes so I don't have to do two freaking dungeons forever.

This mindless FATE grind everyone keeps talking about is the plague to them. Why does nobody talk about the mindless tome grind? People speed farming dungeons with as little effort as possible, not bothering to enjoy the dungeons? Its because THIS, we are forced to do, if we want to do 50 content. Because there isn't any 50 content, other than gearing up.

Oh and I can't forget this, or I'd just be giving people ammunition - I didn't level my crafts or miner with Levequests either - I DID NOT RUSH. I crafted manually to get there. I had 1000s of Mythril Ore and Electrum Ore in my Retainer, made hundreds and hundreds of ingots, and this was after making everything else for the first time exp bonus.
