Sub-Dividing Patches & Patch Schedule

[NarhiFaunlha]

I appreciate the OP's metaphor, but I can't say that a sandwich shop can represent the release schedule of an MMO.

I'll admit: I might've been a little bit hungry when I came up with that metaphor.

My biggest complaint is that the content they release keeps you busy for a week or so. Sure, you have weekly dailies to do for a few months, but there really isn't anything there to incentivize you to keep playing. There needs to be. That's part of the reason why I feel like Field Content needs to be implemented sooner into the patch cycle. Currently we're told its coming even though we don't know precisely when at launch.

Unless they deliberately divert extra attention to getting it out quickly, it probably won't be before May.
