What are you looking forward to next week?

[TheVedis]

Don't forget "quest hubs" to make zones more unique. Also, I don't expect fatigue to be removed next patch. It very well could be, but I have a feeling they will be monitoring it once more before removing it. I do hope they remove it though and monitor how THAT works instead and adjust SP in 1.19 if there are any issues.

quest hubs werent promised for 1.18(yet), they were "upcoming" things to be added

also, fatigue removal was in fact confirmed already, so it is going in 1.18

Next weekend is a three day weekend. That's what I'm looking forward to.

I hope they touch up on how god awful their server hardware/software is since all of their answers for BASIC functions that every MMO has is "it's too hard to implement with the current servers."

Could you support that with a direct quote? I'm not trying to be a jerk. I just think I missed that. I know it is coming, but I don't remember anything being said that it will be removed in 1.18 indefinitely.

Edit: Also, in the 9th letter that previewed the quest hubs, it was slated for patch 1.18. The quest hubs that were said to be in 1.19 are the beast tribe hubs. Of course, this doesn't definitively confirm the hubs for Limsa, Thanalan, and Shroud, but with all the development time given to them between 1.17 and 1.18, I feel it's possible to incorporate them. We'll see.

i dont wanna dig through the dev tracker to find it(its in there somewhere)

but yoshi specificaly said it was being removed alongside the addition of the new dungeons

i believe it was also retouched on in a few more recent dev posts

You may be right. I think it's better to remove it and monitor how it works out along side the new battle changes than the other way around. It would be much easier to balance if there are any issues with progression.

It wasn't 'promised' for patch 1.18, but it was 'insinuated' that we would get Quest Hubs in 1.18 in letter #9 (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/9220)

He mentions they are planning to release them (without giving a date) and then goes on to talk about Beast Tribe Equivalents to quest hubs but says: "We also have some beast tribe versions in the works, but it’s looking like those will have to wait until 1.19."

To me, that says "You'll get the Uldah, Limsa, And Grid hubs in 1.18 and the beastman hubs in 1.19," but that is without the support of a direct quote saying as much.

Personally I want more info, for jobs, mounts, companies, materia, battle, etc.

I would like a release date for the patch too, but I don't expect that yet, in fact, I'd rather have them deliver a solid patch, then appease my hunger for dates.

That being said, I would like some info on what they plan to do with the current setup of guild leves, and how they plan to address the known issues of the game, and what kind of time frame we can expect for LS management tools, along with the list of other issues.

I hope we get a producers letter, and perhaps some more previews of things that are too come, but only if the patch is close at hand, because if I have to wait another three weeks or so, then I'd rather wait to learn this info until the patch is only a few days away.

[Yoohre_WildRiver]

also on the last letter of the producer YP states that the patch realease has been pushed back so it might be early july and not late june. sorry to bring your this news buddy

[Godai]

Will there be a huge celebration event to coincide with patch 1.18 ?? I liked the last event and it seems hopefully there will be reason to celebrate or at least commemorate this time for Eorzea.
I'm also looking forward to Black Shroud being burnt to the ground by the Empire! Can we get some echo action going on to experience that? >
