The Time is Fast Approaching

・Early to Mid July 2012 - Patch 1.23 (and subsequent hotfixes)
⇒Garlean Empire Legatus battle
⇒Content surrounding the Twelve mythos

That's the last of the 1.xx content listed in the original outline. So hanging around for Legatus and some Twelve story-line will be nice. I know personally I'm not done with what they have out now, so I'm in no rush.

I'm not going to go digging up sources that will take quite some time to find, All I'm going to say is, you'll see when it happens.

Please don't come crying to me when it's not as dynamic of a change as what you expect.

Crying is what everyone on the forums does anyhow, I'm just stating what I saw, and something I rather not dig up and waist my time on, I said my peace, you choose weather you want to believe it or not. If I so happen to "feel" like looking for the soruces dated back like 4 months ago then I shall Post them here. Till then this is how I'm going to leave it.

Just... keep your expectations open ended. I don't expect an entirely new game from THIS point forward. It's already quite different from what it was a year ago.

We're not in for a gigantic culture shock. We're being eased into parts of what's changing as we go along.

The engine, UI, and Maps are the bulk of what's going to change with 2.0. The rest is new content. The old content that isn't outright lost, likely won't change all that much.

Just to add from what I see from the PDFs:

-Redesign of all non-instanced areas for version 2.0. ( which they are all becoming instanced, which in turn will have content within them I would imagine)

- As the saying goes.. " When one thing is changed the whole thing is changed" sometimes its noticeable.. sometimes its not.. but the difference is always there. The World Map is changing Drastically, which in turn the World Map Strongholds will change as well to make the game feel more Dynamic.. or much rather put.. "In Sync" the the Area you are in.

- The Primal Weapons as we know it will cease to exist post 2.0.. so what will take its place as drops once 2.0 hits? Fire pants? hehe " When 1 thing changes the whole thing changes" <--- Don't take this saying Literal It's an Expression

I'm just giving examples as to how I feel ( even without the sources, but what most people already know).

"When 1 thing changes.. the whole thing changes" or more simply put.. Changing 1 thing.. even the slightest changes can have a drastic effect.. EX: Class/Job Balancing.. When you nerf 1 thing it changes a lot on how the Class/Job Operates and the player would have to Learn how to play the class in a different way so He'she doesn't die, knows what to attack and what not to attack etc.

That was something that came to mind.. so before I forgot I put it on here .

Smooth servers. Once that is implemented, it will be a fantastic game.

lmao nice interpretation skills there...

Redesigning of non instanced areas doesn't mean they are making them instanced lol. It means the opposite of what you claim. They will be redesigning the maps, but NOT redesigning the current instanced content like dungeons

Please enlighten me on where you found the info on primal weapons no longer being obtainable post 2.0
Think before you type, you really think they just released 7 new primal weapons from Garuda so that only ppl that kill her pre 2.0 have the chance to use them?

Aye, well since your new here with only 31 posts that's probably why you haven't seen anything.. but its whatever, I really don't care, You all will just see for yourselfs when the time comes.

Edit:

Planning to convert all dungeons into instanced raids.

I've never heard from anyone anywhere that Primal Weapons were going to be no longer obtainable... Honestly that's a load of bullocks.

What WAS said was that primals will be "different". I doubt that means removing their weapons from the game.

Not "remove" just it won't be Obtainable after 2.0... and those items will be called "Legacy Items". In any rate, E3, will show us what 2.0 will eb all about. so I'm going to await for the answers there =).

Edit: Nah, disregard this post. This is just gonna be a silly argument.
