Patch 1.18 information

[viion]

Like you would know what they are up too? so in ways we are both incorrect? /nod

Huh? Think you misunderstood me, more like Updating a website doesn't exactly stop workflow for a day. I'm sure the webmaster can post content without the aid of all the staff and development team, and im also sure that someone can take a printscreen without stopping development to figure it out... I could even go take a printscreen now its that easy!

1.18 was said to go live before the end of Spring, and more recently, mid-June at the earliest. Considering that, except it to be somewhere between the 14th and 20th. I don't understand why you guys want new info every other day, they're doing a fine job with that with the dev. trackers. I'd prefer they spend more time fixing issues and designing content than deciding what info will be going live for the day.

Also, don't expect anything huge from 1.18. It will be bigger than what we've been used to getting up until now, but nowhere near expansion pack size. Among these updates I would expect the following:

Auto Attack core system, very basic implementation of the AA system.
The 3 Grand Companies and their leaders, very basic implementation.
Abolition of physical levels (maybe)
2 (Two) Dungeons, 1 for r50 and 1 for r30, likely in the same zone (Toto-Rak.) Anyone expecting more is just setting themselves up for disappointment.
Implementation of Quest Hubs, again, most likely very basic.
New gear and new recipes.
Small bug fixes, server stability fixes, MW stability fixes, yet another targeting fix, enmity algorithm adjustments, maybe some attribute adjustments, and maybe a surprise or two.

Don't expect anything more than that. If we do get anything that's not in that list consider it a bonus. And no, I didn't forget to mention abolition of surplus. It was stated in letter X that it would be implemented following the battle system changes, likely at the end of summer.

I agree. I hate how there is basicly zero info on how things are going. A short video showing the redesigned battle system, or even a few screen shots. If there patch was going to come out tommrow, the info would be posted today. Dont know why they continue to do that.

LOL, and yeah what kind of webmaster knows how to program a professional-quality game. (Not saying FFXIV is professional of course)

I think both of you entirely missed the point he was making. Of course the webmasters aren't the ones coding the game. The game development team has nothing to do with the web design team (...or at least shouldn't, but this is FFXIV we're talking about, haha) aside from the fact that they might be getting their screenshots/videos from them. All other information could be obtained through other staff members (you know, the ones actually responsible for that), not necessarily the ones directly coding anything.

Even if that isn't obvious to some people, Yoshi-P even explicitly said that FFXIV's developers are split into many different teams. Your points are thus rendered invalid.

Its not that hard to edit a website dude it takes 10-15 minutes at max. Surely yoshi can atleast spend 10-15 minutes just updating us on the status of the next patch....

I rather them work on the patch ( all the time they need) then telling us stuff that people seem to always complain about? /nod

Saves a lot of pointless arguments

Hopefully yoshi-p has goten the lodestone team to implement video embedding like he mentioned in his last letter. And i think were about due for another shot of info in the form of a producer letter.

This Week I would expect 2 kinds of information:

1) Grand Companies page updated
2) Letter from the Producer XI ( XI hehe)
3) Possible Video embedding for showcasing the patch 1.18 ( that a bonus if so)
