Can we please delay Savage?

The problem with delaying savage by a day as opposed to a week is then you run into a 6 day lockout vs a 7 day lock out (because SE sure as heck is not going to change the reset timers and weekly lockout timers). This will also upset hardcore raiders because having a full 7 days is essential to week 1 progression. I do wish that FFXIV does take a page from WoW's book in this regard where they have normal/heroic release for patch day and then mythic a week later. I don't think it would be so much of an issue to also delay tomes for a week (with the previous tome gear being unlocked it could be used as a catch up week) while also getting a piece or two from normal before going into Savage.


With people going in with more gear from Normal, they could even tune up the difficulty on Savage once it is released.

True, and I did bring that up with my friends since we have this discussion often, and from what I could tell ither aspect would cause people to be unhappy, and just wondering on averge how many week one progression group use the full 7 days to get the kill? I can only go based off my friends static (not a hardcore progression raider) they said they have yet to need to the full seven days, and they are hardcore players that brought up the 24 hour delay, since they could stomach that over having to wait one week to take part in the content they desire, and the idea of having to run normal more then needed before they can get into savage appeared to annoy them greatly.
