1.22a Patch Notes

[Lurex]

Yay, I'm good, I didn't expect nothing and nothing is what we got, woohoo! I'm good =)

Edit: At least there are fixes and such and we are taking another small step forward with this patch. I'm just desperately waiting for content to sink my teeth into.

And all I wanted was a pre-nerf'd War for the Imperial Stronghold.
Guess it was never meant to be.

Coerthas harvesting.

I'm seeing a lot of hatred for the inclusion of class specific gear, especially since the community has done nothing but whine whenever someone brings up the suggestion of abolishing classes so Square Enix can focus on balancing Jobs better. So you want classes to remain, despite the fact they aren't Final Fantasy enough for you (leading to the creation of the Job system) nor do you want them to have armor tailored for them like Jobs have JSE. It seems like complaining just for the sake of complaining.

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.

Someone didn't read the last letter closely enough.

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.

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.

I think SE just needs to explain their thoughts behind classes at this point. Even in light parties jobs tend to be better than classes. Heck, even some jobs solo as well as their classes.

I think people are just confused about the role of classes in this game and why they need things like specific gear.

Argh! Cant find Hardened Sap. We gonna have to wait 17 hours to see if Hamlet NPCs are selling?

Oh! You got me, haha. Thanks for the correction! Fixing previous post.

No problem.

I do wish that they would've told us to not expect AF weapons in 1.22a. Oh well. They've been working hard as it is anyways.
