What happened to the new Grand Company items/gear in 3.3?

[Brinzy]

Thanks for that update. Looking forward to the gear!

Luxpheras, will I ever get my heart's desire?

[Evangela]

Hope they're gonna look cool, unlike the low-level ones.

[Dualblade]

Yay for a fast response! I honestly had forgotten about the GC gear too...

[Khalithar]

I really want this Immortal Flames set:



Minus the helmet of course.

Odd that it was planned for 3.3, given we're meant to get new ranks in 3.4? I figured it only made sense to add this gear alongside the new ranks, though I guess you added the last set of new gear through Hunts, rather than GC ranks...

Also around that time Yoshida showed off new GC gear: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/pr/blog/001434.html

Do you mean this?

Hello, fashionable denizens of Eorzea!

Please worry not, as we have not forgotten about the promised new Grand Company gear sets. While these sets were planned for implementation in Patch 3.3, we ask for your patience as we had to push this back for the time being.

We'll be sure to let you all know when this new gear will be implemented, so please look forward to it!

While I appreciate the response from a community rep, can I ask for one simple thing? If things don't end up being put in a patch, can it at least say so in the patch notes? I understand sometimes things change, and they aren't ready in time, but it would be nice if we would get a warning when this happens from now on. A postponed features section when appropriate, would be very helpful! I was confused when I went to the GC and it wasn't there.

That makes no sense. If it isn't in the patch notes, then it isn't in the patch, simple as that. No need to add a section saying ' here is what we wanted to add today, but couldn't due to reasons'. You can bet you behind that people will complain more about that than knowing nothing.

[Kallera]

will this also include the new rank and the customizable team?
