Lets look forward to 1.18

[Rentahamster]

I went back to look at the original Japanese Letter from the Producer that talked about a potential 1.17b patch. It actually doesn't mention the possibility of early content release at all. The possibility of "breaking off content and releasing it early in patch 1.17b" only occurs in the English translation.

Seriously? Wow...whats up with that?

EDIT: I seriously doubt the new battle system will be bad at all. At worst, it will be a faster XI style fighting system.

"Looking toward" and "implementing" are not the same.

This is an unconfirmed update. We can argue semantics if you want.

I'm not too lazy to do it, because look - I was right. It's not confirmed.

Stop spreading this crap. Start reading the words.

lol k, not hard to look at a damn dev tracker. [Removed by Moderator according to the FINAL FANTASY XIV FORUM Guidelines.]

Lazy troll was also right. Go figure.

Not a Problem, Just want to make sure everyone knows that Dungeons Are a Confirmation, and they did say Dungeons will be apart of Grand Companies, its kinda gives it away too on the Grand Companies homepage

Also - fully implementing Grand Companies and doing busywork/footwork/dungeon crawl for Grand Companies are not necessarily the same thing. Just look at all the Grand Company Side Quests we got. We recruited some people for them! Would you say they are "implemented" because I wouldn't.

You guys are already building yourselves up for disappointment.

I'm not saying this stuff won't happen. I'm not saying Fatigue won't be gone in 1.18, but you guys are pulling at straws. You're taking unconfirmed HINTS and saying they are facts.

Dungeons will be in 1.18 - FACT
Looking toward removing Fatigue at that time - MAYBE

Am I on crazy pills?

The truth is we have no idea what to expect besides dungeon[SIZE="6"]s[/SIZE], which will be a lot of fun. I'm expecting next to 0 battle adjustments because the dev team seems way behind for some reason.

Mighty optimistic of you I'd say. I'm expecting absolutely nothing after the last one.

1.18 is going to be the final straw for many people. This patch is a big deal because of the promises they've made.

If everything that they say will be implemented is implemented poorly I'd wager that'd be a pretty big nail in the coffin.

Actually it's been like that for every patch. This time it's just 2 months instead of 1 so we get double the yawning excitement.

FF14 bleeds people by the day, it's a fact, so I doubt 1.18 is going to bleed a bleeding wound.

Dungeon[SIZE="6"]s[/SIZE], the proving grounds for parties, will be released in 1.18. We will be implementing two types to begin with, with future updates to usher in additional maps and battle concepts.

SE seems pretty sure they will be adding a few.

The difference is this game would look completely different by now if we weren't waiting for the "NEW IMPROVED BATTLE SYSTEM" that we know nothing about. We get our first look at what we waited 6 mo for and it's going to break a lot of camel's backs if it sucks, I bet.

The funny thing is all the people who will come in saying "This is just the beginning! The first implementation!"
It's a true statement that means very little.

1.18 will most likly fail horribly because people are going to go into it with the mentality that it will fail, and they will focus on the negatives instead of the improvements.

-the dungeons will not be FFXI/WoW (depending on your stand) so they fail
-the quest they will add are not up to FFXI/WoW so they will fail
-the autoattack will not be good enough
-The companys will fail because they are not one of the following: Player run, give epic enough SP, are not solo enough, are not group oriented enough.
-They are screwing soloers the game has failed
-They are focusing too much on soloers and screwing partying... lmfao world of final fantasy...

Because of the crap I listed above 1.18 will be a fail in most peoples eyes, so will 1.19, so will 1.20, so will 1.21. People thinking everything will fail I hate to tell you for you the game has failed, square will never fix it in your eyes... you should quit now. Those who have want it to work and have half a brain look at this forum and you too will see how stupid almost every complaining thread is atm.......

People want change and they want it all now, they will not get it. Every patch has improved things in the game. That list of stuff Yoshi-p gave us will not be 1 update, it will not be 2 updates, I highly doubt it will even be 3 updates.

If people can not handle that it might take another 4-5 months to get everything in they need to quit now. Saying I will quit, people will quit, the game is dying release patches now will do nothing, it helps the devs in no way form or fashion, and honestly this is why so many where opposed to an official forum on Zam and Core, because atm next to nothing good comes from the NA section of this forum... it is just 1 huge QQ fest and it is actually hurting the game more then helping.

This forum rage about a hot patch.... it was even said it would be small and they MIGHT BE CONTENT, not they would be content. The fact that so many expected a huge content patch is just pure stupidity by definition.

The only people who said we would get content is the NA player base... so Yoshi did not lie in this patch, the NA player based played itself as fools once again for expecting something other then what SE promissed.
