The "Other" 1.21 Content

Two new dungeons? I guess that's good.. it's not that easy to be interested in instanced raids for my part. 'Prefer to take my time and explore, and being rushed through by a combination of a timer and an impatient party is just.. meh.

Still I'm certainly curious to see how Hamlet Defence is going to work.

I'm more excited for the dungeons and what gear they will drop than anything, lol. My guess is that the dungeons will be where we get our Job Specific Gear, which should keep them relevant longer than Darkhold and Toto-Rak.

I'm also curious about Hamlet defense, most people naturally lean towards an idea similar to FFXI's Campaign system, but I hope it will be more engaging than that. I also think it will probably reward Company Seals, but the downside to that is that Twin Adder people won't be able to defend the golden bazaar if that's how it works. I guess we'll just have to see!

I'm actually very excited for the dungeons. Batraal was an absolute blast for the first few weeks, not to mention we'll be able to find some (hopefully) good gear that isn't just weapons.

I really really REALLY hope hamlet defense is as entertaining as defending ath urghan (or w/e it was called) and campaigns were.

After I reached level 75 on my BLU it was all I did and it kept me going for like 2 years xD just cuz I found it fun.... Also i was one of the few who enjoyed rescuing npcs...

I am excited to see a release date for this patch. But as silence the dev team is right now, I think we will have to wait one more month =(

meh, they've talked jobs for months now. Whats a couple more weeks?

Exactly, and it will probably be just before Saint Valentine's day because they'll do an event for it again this year obviously.
So, only a couple more weeks to wait!

As someone else mentioned, the Valentine's Day items are already in the game, so they won't need to patch for the event.

I'm just confused by the "no info topic everyday = no content being produced" line of thinking I'm seeing from some >.> If anything is setback it'll be like the buying from search set back -- Set back due to a critical bug or held off for a lettered patch (which is still part of 1.x.)

This seems to happen with every patch and yet SE usually comes through with maybe a slight delay for one or two things that are patched in a week or two later. And yet those comments still pop up every major patch

Had an idea about this. If we are allowed to defend other city state hamlets, reward for GC seals could be set for all GCs and a special reward could be given to the GC that had the best stats. IE. most kills, best defense, # of GC members vs the other GC (in other words if more Twin Adder members showed, they showed be given a bonus reward or bonus stat).

The defense of the Hamlets in my thoughts would be global. While we are 3 separate city states we live on the same world so defense of that world should be main priority. I know in the political aspect it is not but all could "play" campaign in XI and even other MMOs that have a set up with multiple groups still allow all groups to participate in events like these.

Hahaha I wonder how many people would be happy JUST for this and nothing else?! LOL Exaggerated of course but it's been such a HUGE issue. *chuckle*
