Patch 1.18 release date announced! July 21

[Reinheart]

Dunno how their dev team works but if the team is split up by patch updates (with few staff working simultaneously)
Even if 1.18 gets delayed if they have different staff working on different goals for different patches 1.19/1.20 then I still see possibility of 1.19/1.20 coming out on time.

Now due to the problems found in 1.18 if that's going to require changes in 1.19/1.20 team's codes/works then it might delay a bit more on those patches as well... but hopefully it's not something like that. More of just like the Instance Raid adjustments which QA is bug testing. I don't mind if 1.18 came in 1.18a and 1.18b also but pretty sure that's going to piss a lot of people off LOL, it's only 2 weeks more... I can wait... I'll just continue my crafter... damn fatigue came up >< really wish 1.18 was here already so I don't have to worry about this stupid fatigue system...

They're removing fatigue in 1.18? :O I must've missed that.

I surprisingly hit fatigue a few times.

If we're lucky, 1.19 will be out a month after 1.18, and 1.20 will be out a month after 1.19.

Can i say LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL?

More nitpicking from me (bear with me!)

He said the patch would be released two weeks after the original release which was "mid to late June", which would be July 14 at the latest.

And we don't know the "exact date as of which he means by "mid or late" and 21st is classified as Mid july but close to the end of it.. so... He didn't lie about anything really it still fits the 2 week window unless he delays it to August then thats a different story

People need to stop bad mouthing Tanaka so much.. The man is a Game Development Genius. One failure doesn't discredit his 20+ hits.. I can pretty much Guarantee you Corporate was to blame for this games release, not Tanaka.

Guildleves were always meant to be the "main part" of the game until Yoshida told us no. Those were horrible.
Fatigue was also a horrible aspect to be in the game. It's finally being removed.
The world has no reason to be so big without any new monsters being added.
There weren't many (if any, not sure) side quests until Yoshida took over.
Crafting is and will be a pain in the ass until it is reworked.
Market Wards are a good idea but they will never work properly or as well as an interface shop.
The UI is horrible and bass ackwards.
The battle system is terribly balanced right now and Tanaka didn't show any signs of balancing it. It was even worse with a 15 player cap.

And on top of that there was barely anything more than leves, behests, 12 main story quests, and grinding on release.

And this took him 5 years? Sorry his past games may have been good, but you cannot deny that even if this game was rushed, it was and is crap until a lot of the systems are reworked.

I think you misread my post, Starlord.

- The original release date was mid to late June (not July).

- Yoshi said it would be released two weeks after the original release date.

- New release date would then be July 14 at the latest.

- Yoshi delays it one week more and the new date will be July 21.

Where people have this mid-July business from, I have no idea.

Complaining about dates when have a firm release date "now" ( with a possible 1-2 days delay oh cry me a river) is pointless in itself to talk about

Looking forward to 1.18 :>

??? What... still fits the 2 week window, you are aware 2 weeks = 14 day right?

The original mid/late June time frame (June 30th being the absolute latest) would be July 14th. No way around that.

Unless you consider July 7th still late June.
