1.18b patch notes are up..

[Eekiki]

I thought 1.20 was supposed to be out by sept? All those things that they said would change is by sept. Which is supposed to be 1.20 no?

Their words were "end of September" if I'm remembering correctly.

Man you guys are just rediculous

Ridiculous. As in, "The fact that there are people with higher than a fourth grade education that can't spell the word 'ridiculous' is ridiculous."

i would much rather have a patch every other day or once a week then to wait months

We have a winner! Of course, we'd need a better patcher.

Also RE: 1.18b - told ya so ;-)

Well the plans were for Summer. Summer officially ends in late September, I believe Sept. 22-ish this year.

Ah well close enough for me, off by a week

I respectfully disagree.

Major functionality changes and additional content are in numbered patches. Minor functionality changes are still functionality changes (something that didn't happen now does happen) and get a lettered patch. Bug fixes are put into non-numbered, non-lettered updates.

I don't see how functionality change is a waste of a patch. Especially when that functionality change affects the frequency of repairs, and thus the amount of gil a player has to spend on upkeep of their equipment ... no matter how minor that may be.

The one change in this patch also could have waited until they had more to add. The one bug fix could have waited until they had more bug fixes.

Are you ok with them taking down the servers every day for 2 hrs to fix one bug, or wait several days until they can fix multiple bugs? I'm certainly not ok with daily or even bi-daily downtimes for single bug fixes or single and less important changes. If this bug fix had been a fix to an exploit it would have been ok.

Grade 1 Dark matter costs 300gil.... No one was wasting any monies on grade 1 dark mater. There are people (everyone that still has low ranks) who wear things at low rank that require GR3 and above dark matter however. And so everyone knows, dieing and returning with gear above your rank equipped causes far more equipment damage. This is why they do this, those people wearing things above their rank that take GR3+ to repair get their gear destroyed very quickly from diening and returning.

I'm ok with this...after all there is a disclaimer that this was going to be, and these are Yoshi-P's exact words, "beta all over again" and you guys agreed to do just that. So not sure why all of you are bitching at the smallest things..

[Pulseczar]

The bitching on this forum never ceases to amaze me. Seriously? It's only two hours people. Find something else to do in that time.

Download is up. Took me 5 seconds flat to DL. Didn't even bother checking the size. I guess they fixed the issue where it downloaded all the previous patches as well?

Was just about to say that. Honestly, they could do that every second day without altering any player's gaming experience. Glad they fixed some issues, could care less if it's a lettered patch or not
