I think the main problem was that Yoshida promised to keep us in the loop, and he didn't. I know that some people would be annoyed even if he did tell us about the delay, but at least he would have kept his word, and at least to me, that counts for a lot.
I'm still looking for this quote that he said he would tell us how the weps are progressing cause in the last letter he states that the other 2 hamlets will be in 1.22a and that was it.
Pretty sure that right there says what was coming 1.22a but I might be reading it wrong.In order to deliver the patch to you in time for Golden Week, I’m afraid we’ve had to postpone a number of things. These include job-exclusive weapons, chat log reforms, and other content I touched on last time. With regards to hamlet defense, only Hyrstmill will be ready for 1.22; the remaining two hamlets will go live in 1.22a, which is scheduled for May 10. We also have plans for a patch 1.22b, which is expected to follow shortly thereafter. You can rest assured that we will maintain our pace even after 1.22 is released!
You have to go back a month and a half, because the quote is from the letter at the end of March. It says in his road map there that there is a "high likelihood of a 1.22a release" and then he says at the end of that letter that there's "a chance that job-specific weapons might have to be delayed to 1.22a or later... I'll be sure to keep you in the know on the coming progress." Fast forward an entire month and a half, two patches, and another letter from the producer, and through all of that not a mention is ever made of a decision for job-exclusive weapons to be delayed past 1.22a.

Someone didn't read the last letter closely enough.Exactly, there was nothing said in the last letter. That's part of the problem. You have to go back a month and a half, because the quote is from the letter at the end of March. It says in his road map there that there is a "high likelihood of a 1.22a release" and then he says at the end of that letter that there's "a chance that job-specific weapons might have to be delayed to 1.22a or later... I'll be sure to keep you in the know on the coming progress." Fast forward an entire month and a half, two patches, and another letter from the producer, and through all of that not a single rep ever mentions a final decision for AF weapons being delayed to 1.22a, let alone that it's been put off past 1.22a now. That's how sloppy this is.
So they did mention that job-exclusive weapons would be delayed past 1.22. They just didn't tell us that they were delayed past 1.22a.In order to deliver the patch to you in time for Golden Week, I’m afraid we’ve had to postpone a number of things.

I believe that this concerned the progress of Hamlet Defense only since it was delayed from Ver 1.21 where it was initially planned for. I looked through the Community Rep posts and found no mention of a delay. Yoshida clearly stated that we would be able to see the Imperial Stronghold being built but could not enter. I can only imagine that the news concerning AF weapons fell through the cracks due to Yoshida's busy travel schedule prior to E2.

It's already been posted earlier in the thread

Now, I’d like to make an extra mention regarding the job-exclusive weapons listed among the updates. As you can see, there’s a chance that it’ll take until patch 1.22a or later. We’re in the middle of finalizing cost estimation, and so dates are still up in the air. I’ll be sure to keep you in the know on our progress in coming letters.
I guess you could say that him not mentioning the AF weapons in the last letter was a hint at us not getting them in 1.22a, but that would be a very vage way of letting us know.
