Instead of cutting Ultimate from 5.5 why not cut bozja?

[linayar]

The fact that the expansion is dropping in Fall is proof we're not back on schedule as they usually drop in Summer.

Just to clarify, Yoshida said they're back on schedule in terms of content release from the point they released 5.3. And so far, they've been on track with 5.4 and the expected 5.5 part 1. Fall 2021 could be September, which would be 2 months from release of Shadowbringers in July, which was around the length of time that 5.3 was delayed.

That said, Ultimate is a big content, so part of making sure they're on schedule might be to delay Ultimate if it's not ready.

I'm disappointed, but I understand. It will make the release all the more sweeter. I just hope this means they will make up the ultimate deficit in 6.0.

If past experiences told me anything, it's that they fucking won't.
Daily reminder that Monster Hunter Rise comes out on March 26.

SHB is going to go down as having the worst post-game content cycle in the games history, unfortunate.

People are participating in way too much covid-blaming and virtue signaling; SE dropped the ball and clearly didn't have serious work-from-home contingencies in place, which most major tech companies have had since the early 2000's. I'm a software dev and my company transitioned to work from home in less than a week when covid hit. It's fair to say this probably isn't the devs faults, but the fault still lies somewhere in the management at SE and is deserving of criticism.

Majority of them were not prepared for the situation where they would have to work from home. If i were to guess it's just that a lot of Japanese companies were not ready to suddenly have to transition to work at home because of how they work over there.

It's been said in this thread before but: more people will do Bozja than Ultimate. On the plus side, it gives us something to look forward to in 6.1. I'm not just saying this because it implies we'll get another sexy Sage weapon early in the expac or anything nope, no motives here.

That's the thing. That's not something to look forward to, that's the expectation. UCOB came out in 4.1, TEA came out in 5.1, there's gonna always be an ultimate after the first savage tier.

Bozja content is straight up garbage, not even the casual players enjoy it.

Why even make a savage version of a 24 man raid that was aimed at casual players?!

I want my money back SE. I only stay subbed this tier so I can get BiS for ultimate!

If you need the useless glowing relic to show off at Limsa, do it.

If you don't have the courage, then don't do it. It will be obsolete by the next extension.

It's not worth the effort.

It's like gender lock, people have been crying on the forums throughout Shadowbringer to this day and for what result?

I so love that people are entitled to their opinion not giving a damn about the whole situation. We're under a pandemic where a lot of companies stop their operations. Employees work from home and you expect similar releases that we had way before anyone imagined that? Talk about clueless people. The very fact that we'll get the 6.0 on Fall should be enough to make people understand that nothing is on schedule as of now and that doesn't apply to just a game. Get over it.
P.S. Feel free to @ me and roast me all you want, my opinion is that and you know that it's not wrong.

That why patch 5.3 was delayed by atleast 2 months and people were fine with that, delays due to covid were to be expected. But then SE told us that they were back on schedule so people naturally assumed that nothing would be cancelled, just delayed by those 2+ months (as the next expansion has been) so I can understand their frustration when content they have been looking forward to is now suddenly cancelled (atleast for this expansion).


I ultimately don't care since I wouldn't be stepping into it until 6.x anyway but I can see the other side of the argument.

[Hanayumi]

The ultimate raiding community is very very very small, far more people would be doing Bozja anyway. The major interest in Ultimates are generally folks that watch it rather than actually run it.
