Concerns about Content Patch 2.1

[Syrellaris]

I agree with OP, it isn't a good idea to keep delaying this stuff to release it all at once when there is little to do each week. This game has turned into..log in on Monday, cap myth, do T1-5 and log off for the rest of the week. This is not how I pictured FFXIV: ARR...

They could have done TWO patches by the time they release 2.1 >.< And then there is that vanity thread that people want so bad but they still won't release it in 2.1.

You people are pure gold. First you race to lvl 50 to do the end game and then you complain about not having anything to do because you raced there. Then when others finally catch up, you complain the content you did at end game is old. Well, maybe if you would not race, you would not be complaining.


Even if patch 2.1 will be released in januari it is only 4 months after release, which is perfectly acceptable for a content patch, pretty much every mmo developer does this, some take even longer.

Though I will agree with you, there is not much to do at this point. A third or even a fourth dungeon would have been nice, but honestly its up to par with every other major mmo ever released. Even World Of Warcraft took several months to get more content and at release, it did not have much more then we have now. In fact, I believe we have more then WoW had in the beginning.

You're well aware that XIV is actually over 3 years old now, and that having such sparse content laden with so many grind locks like the current DL / weekly Myth cap with hardly any substantial endgame is unacceptable for an MMO, let alone by a company that's already put out 3-4 of their own inhouse games on the market, right?

They promised us this big Jesus patch known as 2.1 with the cut content and barebone expectations being added in about 1.5 months after release, and here we are nearly three months later with the usual, "Please look forward to it" mantra being tossed around with no real date given. They have to seriously reconsider the scope of future patches since that's the true major flaw with this game at the moment.

XIV is three years old, FFXIV ARR isn't even 3 months old yet. You do know that FFXIV was completely wiped clean of content and FFXIV ARR is only using FFXIV's game models and gear at this point. FFXIV plays nothing like FFXIV.

No it's not. It's slightly over 2 months old. Just because 1.0 existed does not mean this is a 3 year old game. The entire time the game was down they were REDESIGNING it. This is a new game, did they use assets they already had? Of course, but developing an MMO takes YEARS (3-5). And what they have done in the short (1 year) amount of time is quite frankly, amazing.

Just to give you an example, WoW was announced in 2001 (development had already been underway for quite some time).

WoW did not launch until almost the end of 2004.

I'm getting extremely sick of this arguments.
Why are you people still saying this? This game is so easy to level up, you actually have to force yourself to slow down to go slower.
It's been 3 months, knock it off. People are tired of running the same silly 2 dungeons and wait 30years for a Coil group.
I haven't even bother logging in for 3 days.
But seriously, you guys really...really need to stop the whole "You rushed" Bs. It's not even valid anymore.
Also the person you quote is a Legacy. She probably had only to have level up Acranist/SMN/SCH and she's done.

Also, they need to stop trying to put crap all in one, and release some content here and there.
Just to keep people busy.
