Promised to never give Blizzard a cent of my money after I quit before shadowlands. I intend to keep that, but boyy oh boy.. the Riot MMO right about now wouldve been great.

The current pace is 4.5 months(7.0 released at the end of June/beginning of July, 7.1 is releasing mid-November), so 7.2 should be the beginning of April.

We also have to account for the extra weeks given to devs for the holiday periods coming up.

True. 7.2 should be in June then.

To be honest I never really cared about FF I joined because of the MH World collab and when they added the DRG armor in MH World I was like HOLY SH*T I WANNA PLAY THAT!? but in the end DRG kept getting worse until what we have know 5th place in melee and one less buff so I am just playing until MH wilds come out

This is great. It gives everyone a whole month to play Monster Hunter Wilds.

But to the OP point. I do think in the next expansion the exploration content has to come in the X.15 patch

The fact that cosmic exploration or even the battle exploration content wont be until 7.25 at the earliest and 7.35 at the latest is sad.

Noo! Mao is a bright spot on the forums. Please don't go.

BLM mains have, along with many story enjoyers, been forced to contend with the state of the game. There's no magic Yoshi P bubble protecting us anymore.

Effect is doubled if you're also a story enjoyer.

The extra .5 months is prolly due to expansion launch, patches should drop back to 4 month pace. I was expecting 7.2 for March 11th/18th but Hyperia reminded me that Yoshi P wants to give his employees time off for the holidays which should put 7.2 at March 18th/25th, the latter still being an entire week away from April.

That being said, the issue isn't the duration of the patch, it's that the content of the patch is too sparse and shortform. To be clear, I'm one of the people who usually appreciates Yoshi P's mantra "don't spend all your leisure time on this game, take some time to play other games". It's nice that I'll be done with all of 7.1 story content the day it releases, because DQ3 Remake releases literally two days later and I'd like to spend more time with that. I also still enjoy doing the massive backlog of old content I have in this game, and I have plenty of weekly fun with my social obligations and Savage prog. But the thing is, I pay a monthly sub, so I'd like some chunks of actual new content to do here and there throughout the patch, but we aren't getting chunks, we are getting one-and-done morsels, weekly morsels, and high-end battle content that is either above my playgrade(Ultimate) or run-of-the-mill grindfests(EX, Unreal, Chaotic). All the meaty longform content is consistently held back till x.25/x.35. Field Operations, Deep Dungeons, V&C, Limited Jobs, Lifestyle Content and Relics, we should be getting at least some of those in the x.15 patch at the latest.
