So will the update really be the 5th?

[AzakaTonnerre]

Individual features have been shifted around to different patches yes, but this is the first actual patch that has been delayed, and they seem to have a pretty decent explanation for it. It's not the standard and they've addressed it multiple times on different live streams as well as in forum posts. As for the lack of Lodestone information, they don't seem to work weekends so we'll see what information comes out tomorrow and Tuesday.

While not a patch, the first update, 2.1, was delayed from late November to December 17th. Lets not rewrite history here...


"I know we've kept you all waiting, but our first major update, Patch 2.1 — A Realm Awoken, will go live in just two more weeks. The need for server and system improvements shortly after release delayed our original schedule, but the dev team is hard at work on final debug checks in preparation for the December 17 release."

Anyone going back to 1.0 knows that most of the patches and updates were delayed. Does it bother me? Not really. But to say they're haven't been delays (when basically their first update pushed every subsequent thing back a month) is not entirely accurate.

Maybe there was another power outage.

I guess I forgot! Thanks for the correction.

I can imagine somewhere along the line "We have pushed 2.28 patch to 2.3, please look forward to it."

They might as well at this rate to be honest with you.
If so, be prepared for a lot of pissed off people and multiple "Y U DELAY AGAIN" topics.
Inb4 2.3 is delayed.

...It's either those topics for weeks, or marriage ones.
Pick your poison. xDDD

Isn't 2.3 sometime in late June/early July? I don't know how players would react if they pushed Novus and the Myth changes back another month. There's already been mild outcry over a pushback of one week.

I don't even care about the patch I just want fantasias!

Fantasia will come with the patch so.. 1+1 = you care about the patch

Reason while lodestone isn't updated is because its the weekend? I guess. If they do updates on the weekends, Then it must be that thing that was suppose to be yesterday and today? I forgot what it was.

Scheduled power outage.

If you read.

It was going to be 28th,
It was pushed back to 30th because GM service issue.
Then pushed back to 5th because Power outage on 31th where the SE main office is.
They didn't want to patch on 30th if they couldn't fix major issues on 31.

Final day to submit content for 2.28 has come and gone so it's ready, So it will be this week.

Well lets find out right now.

So will the update really be the 5th?
