Do you think Yoshida will deliver in 1.18?

[Onidemon]

To the players that have stuck around since the beginning, to the players who are ready to see something other then "what should have been--alpha/beta content", to everyone that gave it a chance but have grown tired, to the players that think 1.18 should be drastically improving the game, expecting it to take a 180.

Do you think it'll be worth the wait? Assume that we don't get 1.18 in mid-June, say we get it at the beginning of July. Exactly how much patience does everyone have? Do you really expect much from SE? Will you expect "additional" changes if it's delayed? Do you think we'll get everything that was promised in 1.18 (and more?)? How big of a game changer are these changes actually going to be for the game and its players?

Are these quest hubs really going to be something more then the super-lax'd sidequests we already have? What about those instances? Is SE going to get it right with the battle changes, will balancing finally move in the right direction?

Or do you think SE is just all talk or is SE going to instill us all with hope after they blow us away with what is possible after 1.18?

Maybe you quit after 1.18, maybe you've already quit and you just troll these forums, but putting that aside, do you think 1.18 is going to be this "saving grace" that everyone wants it to be?

1.18 will not change much. It will only have part of the battle system changes, it will probably be just the addition of auto-attack. We will see the quest hubs, which will probably give us a few quests similar to the sidequests we already have.

These above are nothing to be excited about as they won't make a big impact on gameplay nor will it bring back players who left.

The biggest part of patch 1.18 would be the dungeons IMO. It will probably keep us busy for a little bit and hopefully provide us with some nice gear as a reward but after running them a couple of times and getting all the reward they have to offer, we will be bored once again and then hopefully SE will have something more for us.

Now if SE messed up the content in 1.18(exp. Dungeons too short, boring or/and don't give interesting rewards) then 1.18 will hurt more then it will save the game as players will lose faith in SE, so they better deliver in June!
