2.1 Delayed?

Release the content immediately? LOL Okay..so you want a bunch of buggy content that will cause MORE maintenances for people to bitch about?

Only properly tested content. He is right, everything thats done and tested should be released in shorter updates. A lot of games do this, SE should be able to do it too.

I mean, we can wait for CT and stuff, but things like those grouping boards should be released ASAP (properly tested). Delay some of the content because the other one is not ready is a bad idea IMO.

If SE releases a small amount of content here and there instead of a bunch all at once people will still complain because the content is too little or not enough to entertain them because they are too hardcore for a single dungeon or a couple of new gear to buy.

It's almost as if you don't actually play this game.

Guess you haven't looked into other mmos if you think any amount of testing will result in non bugged content. Look at WoW the game with some of the most in depth ptr testing where devs and thousands of players test everything for usually 2 entire months before it gets released. 2 months and thousands of people testing and content still has quite a few bugs and maintenance is required several times in the first week to fix anything major.

Now look at this game where there may be 100 or so people testing said content for a few months, some of the same people that let a major exploit get through and required several weeks to fix on the hardest boss in the game. Do you really think there will be nothing wrong when this releases just because a handful of people have been testing it for a while? I can guarantee even if they had another half a year of testing there would still be bugs, nothing can prepare them for any possible problems the patch will have when they bring it live and the more content they shove into a single patch the higher the chance that shit will hit the fan(and believe me it will when they have literally thrown everything and the kitchen sink into this patch).

If it says 2013 on that trailer.
How did you get 2014? o.o

Dammit I lost my original post LOL.

I'd like to see the constructive criticism that would follow a small update. Say, 1 dungeon, some new crafting recipes and some class changes.

"Oh my gosh. This new dungeon you released took me 45 minutes to complete and I'm now out of content. You are incompetent, Square Enix. Your mother also enjoys it up the arse."

Also, after the horrifyingly badly balanced and buggy Living Story shenanigans with Guild Wars 2, I sure as heck would prefer less frequent updates that's properly balanced and not buggy. I care not about content every two weeks when it's all a bunch of (buggy and ridiculously imbalanced) grinding for a new set of achievements. <_<

The issue we have here is, that Square doesn't provide a public test realm. Square does the debugging all themself, which you might have noticed, is not the greatest thing they're able to do.

I think Square should give us the chance to help them test the new content, in some way.

I wouldn't mind being able to test new content and squash bugs and such, but I'm still somewhat wary against very frequent updates since Guild Wars 2. Call it negative experiences.

And if ArenaNet are to be believed, they're super-amazing and cool and amazing and great and revolutionary and best game designers of the world etc.
