2019 Patch 4.5 Release Schedule FEEDBACK

[CrimzunAeoun]

Please stop releasing content such as; "limited jobs", Eureka, and any other content on a weekly basis.

If players want to do MSQ they should be allowed to do that at their own pace.

If players want to do limited Job content they should be allowed to do that whenever they wish as well from the release of the patch.

We do not want content to be staggered by release.

I as a player feel very offended when I have to wait an additional week to play new content, because the development team decided without inquiring from player feed back whether we want the content to be staggered.

The ONLY time staggered release content is acceptable is on the release of a new expansion so that players do not have to rush through the story to get to end game content.

Please consider for future patches and expansions these desires of the players.

Additionally, due to the Subscription nature of this game, often time my subscription may run out 1 or 2 days after a patch is released.

I should not have to decide as a player to renew my subscription to try out new content that should be released on the same day as the rest of the patch.

This constraint causes me to unsubscribe from Final Fantasy XIV online because I feel as a player that the development team and producer are trying to "milk" every dollar from me, rather than develop quality content, and release it in a timely manner.

Because of this my trust in this development team and producer is weaker because I do not feel that they care about the players and our feedback

I prefer it this way than having to rush and do everything on day 1 to keep up with everyone.

Some staggering is needed to prolong the content a bit. Such is the nature of MMOs. I do wish they would release more at the start of a patch though, don't get me wrong. It's just how they do things and have been doing so for years. If you want to see some intense content staggering, look at WoW recently. You will appreciate how they patch this game a bit more.

[DevonEllwood]

Oh no. One week. Just consider blue mage having it's own little patch that's a week from the other one.

[DrWho2010]

sometime stuff is staggered because they want to not overwhelm the player base - other times it is staggered because things are not completely finished yet. rabid content eater much? they have a vision as to how they want the players to enjoy the content. not see it gobbled up in one sitting with a giant mess left behind

[Esp]

I don't see much of a problem with them staggering content currently. It's fine to not gobble up all content on day one, and it's also going to be passed the holiday season. People have lots to do and FFXIV isn't the only thing out there, even if it's on a subscription fee.

This will give people time to play/do other things no matter if I can finish everything or not. It's not always a bad thing to stagger content.

Not to mention....it's a week, it's not that long. If necessary, hold back on renewing your subscription until the week after the patch. There is really no reason to rush.

Everyone of you that has replied has only mentioned personal problems based on how you play the game.
This game is a subscription based game that has a month to month payment plan at its basic form. The problem I am talking about is an actual problem because the players are missing out on content because it is staggered

and therefore they may unsubscribe.

This is a problem that needs to be addressed by not staggering content when it is not necessary to do so.

Don't want to miss what's coming? Stay subbed. Can't stay subbed due to financial reasons? Not much that can be done on their end. Been in that boat myself once or twice. But the simple solution is to sub for the content you want. I don't understand your problem, tbh. If you're talking about BLU? It's only staggered for a week after release, then it will be available. So...stay subbed if you can.

[Barraind]

I think the spacing we saw in some previous patches actually hurt Eureka a bit.

I agree that patches shouldnt be split by weeks, especially if you have a massive .x5 patch planned out. Put out half the content on one, half the content on others, and spare us the regular Monday night patches.

[Freyt]

I'd also rather it not be staggered. I admit that HoH died very quickly when they released the next part of Eureka, however Ivalice is something we'll only be doing once a week, so there's no reason to not have something else to fill the gap. I didn't even looking if there's another part to Eureka coming, but delaying Blue Mage isn't going to make a difference for that.
