Information on 1.21 Next week?

[Coglin]

They really dropped the ball this past month.

1) tell us the patch would be delayed by 2 weeks.
2) lack of lodestone updates
3) telling us the patch is delayed further AFTER telling famitsu magazine.
4) indicating a "letter from the producer" inthe next 24 hours, 48 hours ago....

1) In the MMO industry, Its probably more the norm for info, updates, and fixes to be late then on time, more the norm by miles. It happens alot when dealing with mechanical, electronic, or programing issues. You have a job? Go to school? have a family? how many times have you said it will take Y time to complete a task and it takes Y x 2. Is it delayed. Yes. Should you be shocked to the point of tears about it as you are ...No
2) I bet gath's 1 gil you don't even know how many lodestone updates there even were in February.
3 ) What difference does it make when they tell us? I ask because you already misread and mosinterperate everything they tell us now, then once you post the misinformation from your misreading or mis-interperating, you accuse everyone who corrects you of "white kniting".
4) see #3. its a prime example of your misreading and misinterperating,, then using your misinformation to project incorrect anger here.

Despite the weapon skill/magic video, it still feels awfully quiet. Even the community reps are tight-lipped.

--------------------> 02-27-2012 11:16 AM <-----------------

it is now 2-29-2012 11:01 AM nearly 48 hours after he said the letter would be translated in 24hr (tomorrow)

Oh for the love of god... Who cares if it comes a day later? The man has his hands full with 2 projects Current 1.xx patch and 2.0... No game nor Company has ever taken up a task like this after a failed Launch.. This is unspeakable grounds here.. this takes a lot of hard work and dedication to pull off something like this..... if it comes on March 1st instead of Feb. 29th so what? the man has alot on his plate.. granted he shouldn't have given a date of something he couldn't meet that much I agree with you, on the other hand... a day or 2 of a delay of the letter... and people complain... sheesh :/.

"Despite getting info/update it still feels like we're getting no info/updates."

Hm.

For what it's worth, I think it's not just the delay in the letter that irks people, it's the lack of information on all grounds. I know this is square Enix, but times have changed and dev teams are usually much more open about what's going on behind the scenes in an MMO these days. I'm not /wristing about how quiet it's been or anything, but I can see the reason why people are fretting.

SE communication is simply not good in this day and age. Better than before sure, but still... Oh well

Quiet= they are more Focused on the Patch and getting it done
Talking alot= Taking the time out of the patch what they could have been working on said patch.

Now don't get me wrong, they should be more Communicative to the Community that's paying SE for their Services. However, I developed a Mentally, that when they are not talking for a while.. It's because they want to get this patch Perfected, to give us a quality patch, rather than a rushed patch that's buggy.

That's just how my brain works, and I'm glad i'm one of the patient ones. people that are inpatient will be.. well... like all the other unnecessary threads that people make, then troll overtime. I'm quite grateful for who I am =).

Hm.

No, I do recognise the video as info. And I definitelty appreciate it! It just feels a bit underwhelming on its own, though. Even you must agree that it has been a bit quiet these last few weeks. Or at least quiet compared to how it usually is just before a patch hits.

It's probably because they're holding out on revealing info in the letter, since the update is next week after all.

[Demo]

Anyone still think current delay has no impact for future patches? I remember when some people said a few months ago how 1.21 will be late because of the delay of 1.20, other people defended SE to death saying 1.21 will come out right on schedule.

Guess what? 1.21 is supposed to come out early Feb and it turns out to be early March.

If anyone still think 1.22 will come out right on schedule which is supposed to be mid April, they need to get their head examined.
