4.1 - The emptiest patch yet.

[Bourne_Endeavor]

Listening to MrHappy's stream, he brings up a good point. Unlike Heavensward, the devs kept to their fourteen week schedule, which is a considerable task following an expansion launch. We're feeling the effects of that decision. I, personally, am taking a "wait and see" approach on how resources will be allocated. If it means Stormblood PotD becomes more innovative or Eureka actually lives up to the purposed hype, I'll be okay with the slight lull. Regardless, I completely disagree with the OP. 3.1 will forever remain the worst patch this game has seen. While it technically had more content, Diadem and Lord of Verminion were colossal flops, thus leaving just Gordias, Thordan and Void Ark for nearly eight months. 4.1 is leaps and bounds ahead of that disaster.

Squadron AI of any kind already makes up for another dungeon no one will remember. We also got an expansion to treasure maps which has never happened before. Changes to housing zones that hasn't happened since Apartments.

Your sig is also 4 years old, get over it.

Treasure Maps were added in 2.1, The Aquapolis was added in 3.3. Feels like said expansion has happened before.

Apartments only happened 2 patches ago...

There's only 5 dungeons you can run with Squads. You can not get Squads until 47. So you could probably easily solo any dungeon these are used in by this point. So it's useful for....leveling solo? Even though most people would still opt for POTD. Seems like a bit of a useless feature so far.

Guess we can't be to mad at Yoshi for this. https://gamerescape.com/2017/06/15/e...naoki-yoshida/ The article posted back in June even states 4.15 or beyond so they weren't exactly lying, just wish they could at least implement the first step of Relic in some way for 4.15 instead of pushing it back potentially to 4.2.

And then if that rushed implementation winds up being a hot mess, people come to the forums and complain, wondering why SE didn't just push back the release. I was personally really looking forward to the new relic myself, but if SE pushing it back means the content is possibly that much better when we do get it, I can be patient and wait.

[Arrius]

Nope.

Well. You get the ability to swim in the Goblet.

That is enough content to last you 3 months. Right?

To the others: (not you bswpayton)

You can white knight and spit shine this turd all you want until it shines like the sun.

It's still a turd.

"Grrr .. entitlement!"
And yet, you are here, apparently still playing the game with a running sub.

I never been here at the start of an expansion , but I thought that the relic weapons always came in teh first patch, but it seems as it stands people will add , shiryu to the doggo farm list, and do the 24 man raid once a week. Ultimate isnt actually content many players can even do. But Im also not sure what they have added in the past either, but Im definitively seeing that they are going to kinda stick with how they did hw content. I dont reallly feel like anything will be new or fresh and I can see why that will upset people. And also please tell me we can do more than just the level 21 dungeon with our squadrens

Isnt he/she supposed to be entitled?

If this game was free, I could understand and would agree with you. I think how Istaru is feeling is a logic one, he/she bought the expansion with the hope that the developers keep releasing patch with stuff to do. If Istaru thinks that SE is not delivering, then he/she has a right to come here and complain about, since he/she is a paying customer.

From what I have seen you have 5 dungeons and the final one is a level 50 dungeon. Since my Squadrons are already at the current max level and all my classes are level 60+, I do not understand what SE wants me to do with my squadrons. If the only reward is experience points, then this content is dead on arrivel for me and others who are level 50 or higher with all their characters. I do think this feature will be handy for players with low level characters, but I reckon if you are learning, playing with real people would be a better option.

I will log in at patch 4.1 and see how it is, but right now, from what I have seen it sure looks disappointing.

First, she.

Well done. I agree with you. I pay them for a service. As a customer, I have every right to give the supplier of a good or a service feedback on that service. Both good and bad feedback.

You don't like me exercising my right to provide my feedback on their product?

How about you leave instead?

yea and now we're getting an expansion to Uznair which has never happened before. so for SB we have new maps, we have a new dungeon that spawns from maps and now we have an extension of that dungeon. 2.x and 3.x maps did not have that, this is new.

Apartments only happened 2 patches ago...

yea, it took them nearly the entire 3.x series to change the original 3 housing zones.

we're now getting an even bigger change to the original 3 housing zones in the first patch of the 4.x series.

There's only 5 dungeons you can run with Squads.... Seems like a bit of a useless feature so far.

it's not going to be super useful, but it's the basis for something that can be expanded on. the point was this was added instead of another Lv 70 expert dungeon, which if most 50/60 dungeons are used as an example most people forget about them really quickly.

[YISUG]

why is the new pvp mode coming a month later ; ; and some stuff 2 weeks after
its like we getting half a patch on the 10th

[Clover_Blake]

I love this patch and I'm very excited about it. Either I'm *~*special*~* or you're a very, very boring person OP -laughs-.
