Concerns about Content Patch 2.1

[TwingTwang]

Thank you for the update. I wish more of the player base was patient. Most don't seem to understand how complicated things are.

They truly don't. Never mind that those employees have lives and families too. No instead you have everyone who spends their life cramming 10 hours everyday on their computer completing everything in 2 weeks crying at why nothing new is coming out. Never mind that these guys are fixing bugs, balancing classes, dealing with RMTs, creating new content, coding it all, testing it all, going through the entire forums and actually reading these people's whining faces, etc etc oh and the game has only been out 3/THREE/III (incase you didn't get I said the number 3) months. The game is a dam baby and everyone expects the same results of a MMO that's been out for 5+ years. Yea....I wish they were more patient too.

Look, I absolutely love FF14.....but you guys are now following the trend of Blizzard did with World of Warcraft. There is a reason why WoW went from 12 million players to 7 million all within 4 years...boredom!

If you want to compare it to something, then compare to the 1.0 release of WoW... how long did it take for them to finally release the 2nd major raid in wow? hmmm 6-7 months? Oh hey look! BCoB will be getting released 3 months from 2.1... what is that? 7 months? yep... Nevermind that what they are adding into the game between those 6-7 months is far more content than WoW ever did... ever... in one patch... but you know... let's keep suggesting that they are "following recent trends of WoW and it is going to be the death of the game"...

2.1 is just a few weeks away, and we ask for your patience just a while longer. With countless additions and refinements to battles, crafting, and gathering, not to mention the introduction of PvP, housing, and new soloable content, I promise that it will live up to your expectations.[/INDENT]

More than a couple, less than a lot,

Few is to subjective could you not say late December early January?
Few I normally thing 3-5.

But on that same note. Sitting on a beach I have a few gains of sand in my hand could be 100+ when looking at all the sand on the beach.

Same with few weeks ya I know 3-5 or in SE time 3-10.

Hopefully it all come out in the live letter tomorrow.

A lot of people just can't play the same game for several years straight without a break. WoW's decline in playerbase size is not particularly because of any one flaw or problem in the game. They can have an infinite supply of content and people will still get tired of it. There's only so much you can do about that. We are just humans and it is natural behavior.

Game's been out for 3 months? Hmmm then how did I have moogle axe , all ifrit weapons ect before it was even released? Oh wait ... that's right .... I've killed ifrit...Garuda.... For years lol silly me.

September, October, November... That's three months.

Yes, and no patch this month. Thank you for reinforcing my point.

2.1 was originally set for release this month, but due to the changes and 'grab everyone we can so we can fix this' of Server Jam they were forced to delay it.

Missing a deadline isn't shocking -- but it also means you don't believe anything without an actual release date. We don't know how long it will be before patch 2.1 lands.

The stability issues didn't emerge until open beta, and were misdiagnosed. They believed they had fixed that problem (they hadn't), and went ahead with Early Access (a mistake).

Which demonstrates judgment issues. We disagree on optimism, not the facts.

Once someone demonstrates that they have done their job poorly, it is up to them to shape up and prove they deserve trust. Missing the first patch release is a bad way to start.

[ashikenshin]

isn't patch 2.1 next month? wow talk about impatient kids.

I guess it's to be expected, people can't even wait a couple of hours till maintenance ends, nevermind a few weeks. Get a life

[Jexx]

i just kinda hope the patch isnt to big for the game to handle causing a lot of bugs to apear

[Madruck]

First and foremost to all the players who replied to me, I have played alot of the content....I have 5 50's and 3 Classes already with DL and Relic playing as all 3 classes as a rotation except in Coil with my Main job. The second thing is that Yoshi P states that the patch is weeks away...which means it could be 2-3 weeks or if you read other parts of his forum post he states a month away...so its not hard to assume that 2.1 is coming early next year. Lastly, comparing FF14 to Vanilla is really a foolish way to compare....WoW 1.0 was not a complete redo of a game, and even then WoW 1.0 had several dungeons to do for endgame, but FF14 came out in 2010 and it had years to add there to content for endgame then another 2 years to 2.0 development to even make more content. So you are right, comparing WoW 1.0 to FF14 2.0 is a bad compare because even with WoW's 1.0 launch, not its remake...it had way more endgame content to gear up.

The problem was they wouldn't have been late had they just scraped 1.0 rather then trying to fix something that they knew they couldn't fix they could have just focused all the time and money on ARR which would have had much more content when the game launched.
