Patch 1.18 release date announced! July 21

[Zanfire]

The last non-A/B/C patch (1.17) was released mid-April, the last patch (1.17C) was released mid-June. So it'll be about 3 months from 1.17, 1 month from 1.17c. Didn't take them 4 months to get this out no matter how you look at it, get your fact straight next time.

On topic: I'm willing to give them the time they need to make sure it's finished and works correctly. Rushing is what got us here in the first place, I'd rather be patient and have them put out good content. We'll have to wait and see if it was truly worth the wait but it's looking that way at least to me.

so 3.5 months since the last real patch (the other 2 where bug fixes) ...oh boy you got him there....SOOOO not 4 months lol. We will be lucky to see it on the date he listed as is.

Fine, feel free to be negative. I'm sure as hell not going to stop you. Forgive me for having a little hope and trying to be a little positive. God forbid anyone should actually try to slightly optimistic in the face of an actual date (give or take a few days).

Well I don't know about you but the things I enjoy include fun stuff like content, a good battle system etc.

Not dates. I mean if I enjoyed dates more than content I'd just buy a calendar and not an MMO.

That wasnt being positive, that was trying to 1 up someone who was barely off on how long since the last real patch was.

They could have just given you neither, you lout. You're not exactly cracking a whip over their cubicles with your posts.

They could have just given me neither after promising several times that this content was coming and the game was going to be improved after admitting their initial failure and saying they would make it up to their loyal customers? Try again.

Some of you talk like SE isn't a business or something and I really find that amusing.

Oh and thanks for personally insulting me, that's very mature of you.

I really don't know why do people think they're doing us a favor... GUYS IT'S THEIR JOB, THEY'RE GETTING A SALARY!
You know what normally happens if you have a 1 month of delay in your work? you end up homeless and starving. <3

And here I was rushing THM to 50 before the patch, I will be there by the end of the weekend and have Archer damn near close by the time this patch comes out. Guess I can't really complain, atleast I have something to do in the mean time.

Sorry guys if I really cannot share your enthusism and positivism in the face of finally getting a release date...

From my personal point of view this was the lamest way to announce a delay I have ever seen. Yoshi sugar coated it in a Producer letter... the shortest letter ever. And right after announcing the date he slips in the possibility for a 1-2 days delay. But wait 2 days would mean saturday so let's say those 2 will be 4 and then we are close to the end of the month and surely another excuse to delay to the end of the month or even August will follow...

Sorry to be so negative but I ran out of optimism after reading the last couple of producer letters... One month delay is not the end of the world considering we are finally getting some content but what worries me is that when 1.18 is delayed like that, all the patches that follow will be delayed too. All they have given us so far is empty words and useless patches.

It is about time SE shows us some facts...

Another Yoshida letter, another disappointment.
