Little updates weekly vs Great updates Monthly

[Raistlin]

What do you like?

i want little updates, coz seems like game is continually evolving. For example, could be goood to see little updates like:

- Revamp food system
- Search System
- UI upgrade
- Transportation

all them individually seems to me a better option than wait 2-3 month for a huge update.

More sidequests, like...twice as many as were in this patch.

I had fun the first three days post-patch just running around doing quests, now I'm out of quests to do.

I would much rather see a bi-weekly update. Maybe every other Sunday we could get an update on the content they've finished testing out, rather than hold it back and release one big update. A weekly update might become annoying after a while.

While I kinda agree I think there are a lot of things that just require a bigger incubation period to get ready. There are a lot of teams working on a bunch of tasks... Right now it seems that the bigger things are holding back the littler ones, but there will have to be bigger projects. Maybe alternating between small and big releases could be a middle ground?

id prefer a weekly or biweekly update but i doubt it would be technically possible. The changes that are needed are too...big. Honestly they need a huge patch every month at this rate cause the jp forums are just raging at 1.18

Let's allow Square Enix to publish at least one patch per month, before we get a little to over zealous and ask for little patches weekly haha. Their goal is to patch the game once per month, and we really haven't gotten a steady rate for patches yet. Once the game stabilizes for patch rates then ask away. Just my opinion. I don't think a patch per week would help the game, most of the patch content would be spent on bug fixes from the previous patches, and the new content would release new bugs and it would be an every ending cycle of us checking the dev posts for new stuff, and only seeing bug fixes and typo changes >.<

Really? What are they raging about?

Really? What are they raging about?

well im on page 32 atm and still got 20 more pages to go.
Currently the repeated topics on the Patch 1.18 threads are:

-overall wtf?
-"You didnt test this did you?/what are you thinking?/Do you guys actually find this fun before you release it?/lol yoshiP-beta"
-Cure hate rage
-MP cost rage
-repair rate rage
-snail(auto)-attack rage
-leve quest SP rage
-behest rage
-Imbalance rage (including THM/CON issue and solo/party play)
-passive/active mode changing (they dont like the characters sliding) this was a bit menial i think tho...

-dungeons- are about the only thing thats got a neutral if not good impression. Just they are angry at the above implements. and some anger on the con/arc/gla focused setups

and its probably safe to say that "8 out of 10 are not happy"
and "1-3 out of the 8 think its crap"

compared to them the NA forums are largely optimistic.
thers so much complaint on the JP side that you dont see as much pple backing up the optimistic side like we see in the NA forums. (like here some pple would bash them if they complained too much and call them trolls)

"snail(auto)-attack" FINALLY someone said it.

There's nothing like paying for a game who's primary means of playing is waiting, and waiting, and waiting...

Glad to see jps were raging too, i asked if they were just was curious haha. I guess I don't feel so bad if the rage was global.
