Patch 2.4 Preview

[Tiggy]

Got to say this is the worst patch since the launch, only nin saves it from being just a minor patch.

As far as we know it only includes 3 dungeons, 1 primal, coil end, and nin, every past patch brought a new feature to make the game feel different and new for the next month, this one only adds more grind, it feels a bit lackluster... but well, there are 1 and may be 2 LL before the implementation, they may be saving something good for the first fan fest...

It's almost like there is a fan festival in less than 2 weeks. Could you possibly for one second consider that just maybe they are saving the big reveal for the massive in-person event? That might be expecting too much though.

They have been very quiet about this patch so we don't know much, they always try to foment the hype on the first month after the release of the previous patch, but this time they have only talked about things that may come after 2.4 not in 2.4, something tells me they don't have much to offer with this patch besides ninja.

Forgive me for being pessimistic but the last time they were this quiet we got the lovely personal housing patch with our "completely separate from FC housing and naturally more affordable" plots.

Tiggy, what did we say about using logic and reason on the forums?

I know I keep forgetting.....

It really does seem like that's the #1 rule around here.

I have a feeling the big reveal will be the expansion and nothing else. I'm still hoping we'll get some nice surprises in 2.4, but I have a feeling they consider Rogue/Ninja to be the "new type of content" of this patch. I would love nothing else than to be proven wrong though! =)

Am i the only one who thinks some ppl never reads the whole posts?

that's exacly what i said... but well, good job, you seem very clever...

... but well, there are 1 and may be 2 LL before the implementation, they may be saving something good for the first fan fest...

Ok i could have said "for now" or "it seems" in the first sentence, but i expect some comprehension and reading skills form the players in these forums...my bad.

Renik, you're opening statement could use some serious work. Making such statements as "Got to say this is the worst patch since the launch, only nin saves it from being just a minor patch." tell me you've already made your decision regardless of that little bit acknowledging the fan fest. So yes a "for now" or "it seems" would go a long way.

You assert that it's the worst patch yet it's the same as the ones that came before. Why is this one the worst in your view? I don't think you explained this.

Edit: You explained it. You went on a limb and assumed there would be nothing "new".

You got me there, fixed.

I use to make my statements with out any information on how i reached to that point, but i can tell you i don't talk without knowing, unless i'm misinformed, i don't think they will add something else to this patch, because as i said they have been oddly quiet about it, we will know in 2 weeks or more if they don't announce a launch date in the first fanfest LL.

...housing, dailies, treasure maps, wolves den, frontlines, hunts, riddles, chocobo stables, gardening, vanity... content to enhance and diversify our playtime, but this patch only brings the essential, dungeons, trial and raid, the common denominator of every patch, and a class, that may be new, but it's not new content.

because as i said they have been oddly quiet about it

It's not at all odd when there is a series of large public events coming up where there will be thousands of fans present to hear the information first hand. This isn't Pax or Gamescon where they will be there for other games. Everyone present will be there specifically for Final Fantasy XIV ARR. Them holding this kind of info back until that event isn't even remotely odd. If anything it should have been expected considering the timing of the event and the patch.
