[General Discussion] Patch 2.2

[Pseudopsia]

So It doesn't directly say patch like I thought it did, but they have already been clearly thinking about it. I don't think "Next major update" means expansion though. I am pretty sure this is on his radar as of now and may have been pushed back to get some more important things into 2.1.

I agree. That's really old live letter from (09-27-2012); things got delayed. Based on that info 2.1 should have had a level increase. Still proves that a level increase in a major patch is possible.

Right. I'm not saying we should count on it in 2.2 or even 2.3. I was just saying that we stand a good chance at seeing it before an expansion. But who knows.

Well, we will be facing Bahamut in 2.3 from rumor, but I feel certain Bahamut will be for the games first real expansion.

I saw the side quests preview and wondered can someone tell me please, did Hildebrand actually get tore up in a quest in 1.0 or did they just elaborate and make new storyline so he could be carried into the present time?

I did not unlock the quest in 1.0 it seems if he did so I was wondering mainly because of the state of him in that picture and the info. Anyway, looking forward to the patch, too many things to wonder about right now!

2.3 will introduce new CT levels, so nope. Either 2.2 (unlikely) or 2.4, thats when Coil new levels will be added. Thats assuming we will ever fight Bahamut one day....

I'm going back and reading stuff from old letter too to see if maybe we can get any hints from things that were said in the past. So I wonder what ever happened to:

52:40
Q: Currently, there is no gear boasting enchantment effects. Are there any plans to implement enchantments in 2.0?
A: Yes, we do have something like that planned for 2.0. Equipment may have an enchantment effect that can be activated by players, and be subject to a recast timer.

It would cause stress.

It would cause stress.

I'm not sure what you mean by that.


What about in-game weddings? Any chance for 2.2?

Q: Will it be possible to get married? Also, will same-sex marriages be possible?
A: We previously released a screenshot of a sanctum in the woods.

So when the era came to an end, something happened that led to the sanctum being rediscovered. So what is this place for? Well, in creating a world, we wanted put anything in it that is close to reality. Marriage is one of those things. That’s why we built the sanctum--so that characters and players can get married. The system for weddings--proper services and such--might not be available right from the beginning. It’ll most likely be added in a patch. However, we’ve already prepared a place for it.

As for same-sex marriage, this is an extremely controversial topic that has been under discussion in the MMO world for the past few years. First we would like to start out with opposite-sex marriage, and then consider the feedback from our players in order to make a careful decision.I can’t say whether or not it will be possible at this point in time. I’d like to keep dialog open with our players as we deliberate the matter.

What is with Golden Saucer?
2.2 or 2.3?

I'm not sure what you mean by that.

It's his default "nah" by saying it would stress the players out to have to worry about x.
