4.1 - The emptiest patch yet.

[missybee]

You probably shouldn't view the patches like that.

As far as I know, the intention was for all of these things to be released with 4.1, Eureka included.

I was always under the impression that the in-between patches were for hot-fixes and other small additions (such as crafting things, etc), but I guess this is sort of the way things are going now.

Honestly idk what people want from this game, I mean on one hand they could've made the base difficulty of the game higher so content requires more thought than AoE spam and basic rotations but no one wants that so the only alternative people could be asking for is more endgame content which they simply can't churn out to everyone's standard. They could do a WoW and bring patches out every year or a half but people won't wait that long so really what can they do about it?

Well all I know is that since feast launched in 3.21, the seasons have been from .X5 patch to .X5 patch, and additions such as the new map have coincided with the end of a season.

We do know that the devs are pushing for more content in the .X5 patches however based on latter end of 3.X (3.45 and 3.55 being small patches in their own right)

ah you are right, 6 months I knew it was somewhere around. that bein said I think we might get patch on january with February been max so we got HW relic 6 month after release and we will get SB relic just about the same time but better.

I won't lie, Eureka was the thing I wanted most out of 4.1. In about 1 month I will be Omni 70 on my main and my alt. At that point we would be close to 4.15 and that would give me a new large project to work on.

I'll get to spend some time on some single player games so it isn't the end of the world. Am I disappointed? Yes. However, I am done with caring that much.

We will get the SB relic later than we did in HW. But better? Given their track record with Diadem and Diadem 2.0, I fear we may be disappointed but I will keep a shred of hope with me that it is better than grinding FATEs.

I'd say that regardless of Eureka, the weapon itself is better in 4.2, as if it releases in 4.15 it is immediately invalidated by easier options from lost allagan nerfs, hunts, and the 24 man raid (potentially)

With the inventory issues this game has?

Oh you meant things like mogstation glamor taking up inv slots that you can never get back without tossing it and losing the item forever? Yeah I've actually discarded a few premium items to make room.

I always lose a lot of slots to 'current' gear that I'm waiting to be able to desynth or exchange for GC seals. They make us wait 2 major patches for items to be convertible, so 6 to 8 months waiting to be able to exchange things like Verity gear instead of throwing it away. Wish that lockout would have its time reduced.

As for glamor log, maybe as a compromise they could start small with only certain items included in the log. At a minimum, all the mogstation items would be changed to this system. You receive the mogstation clothing in the mail and 'use' it like you would a mount whistle or minion. The item is consumed and added to glamor log, no longer requires inventory storage.

the simple fact that we are getting an entire zone dedicate to the relic itself it's automatically better than anything they have ever done with the relic as in there's more dedication and effort than -run x old content 30000 to get light- there's more effort put into it and whatever it's that it brings lets be optimistic and hope is fun and enjoyable.

Meh, I quit raiding when my bf got bored of it. I stopped caring about BiS at the same time since I don't "need" it anymore. Say whatever you want, but I'm going to spend my time with him over raiding. He is more important to me.

The relic is something I can do with him while we have some fun killing time. They become shared goals that we work on together. That is why it matters to me.

That is your preference, but when it comes to content design my point still stands

Can’t wait to do Shinryu EX! I loved the original fight so I’m excited to see what the extreme mode has in store!
