Housing was never been said on 27th but always after the release. So as for PVP.

Only Crystal Tower was confirmed to be released on 27th.

Square, i know you're reading this.

Let me give you some advice.

Release the content, which is done, now. Don't pack it all together and release something, anything that's done, immediatly.
Even the new players get tired of the same stuff everyday. This does not look good at all. Reconsider this.
In one month, pretty much everybody will just stand in Mor Dhona and slowly lose interest in ARR. You WILL lose a lot of subs because of this.

And they will not come back thanks to the new console generation.

So, once stuff is done, release it, watch the players reaction, and polish it until the next one is done.

When you have enough stuff to keep the players hooked for ARR, you can start on your "real" content patch.


And trust me, once you go the "big patch" route, you're going to breake something in the game again, and players will hunt you down once again on the forums. You are able to avoid this.

It's December.

Edit: To clarify, it's not getting delayed just because they'll be talking about features from 2.1 in the next Live Letter. Considering one of those is PVP it could easily be the Letter after the patch happens.

After the update it wouldn't have too much sense. Maybe LL on 20th and update on 23/24th, so they gather all the bugs during the holidays and start the new year with some work to do xP

Actually there is one, even if a bit vague.

Square take your time and get it right. The WoW players can go get their fix with pandas if they are unable to wait a mere month.

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.
