Patch 1.17c..?

[Adol]

Just to be clear, 1.17c does not contain any major content additions as previously discussed in topics about 1.18.

We appreciate your patience during the maintenance schedule and hope you look forward to 1.18 arriving at a later date.

Fixed Bugs

* Measures have been implemented to address the recurring server failure issue occurring in market areas.
* Measures have been implemented to address the issue wherein viewing the linkshell member list may cause the client to crash.
* The following bugs have been addressed:

o A bug wherein the enemies "Prince of Pestilence" and "Unknown Soldier" may neither be seen nor targeted despite appearing on the minimap.
o A bug wherein the location of one's retainer may change following server failure.
o A bug wherein the journal entry may not be updated for the quest "A Piece of History."

Personally I'm very happy to see these bugs fixed. Especially the LS list crash/ market ward server failure issues.

Thank you SE!

I would guess bug fixes and possibly preparation for 1.18, not to say they're actually adding anything.

Should snap off a bit of the 1.18 logga and slap it in that patch, like the not stopping when changing between passive and active.

Please please please people don't get excited for this and then unleash a **** storm of threads on release day when disappointed. It's gonna contain nothing, nothing to see here. Move on!

More targeting modes! Hooray!

Yeah, this is pretty much why I made the thread to say it's just a minor bugfix/ prep for 1.18 so people didn't get their hopes up or anything.

I heard we are getting Chocobo's and Cait Sith in 1.17c. Oh and ridable pokemon too.

But but but....! It's being released MID JUNE! It HAS TO BE the glorious golden patch!! lmao

Seriously though, best of luck convincing people man, you're fighting a losing battle lol

I do get a little excited... he did say:

1.18 is going to be relatively bigger than previous patches. This means that balancing is going to take more time than usual, and so we’re anticipating a somewhat longer period between patches. Even if we break off some of the content and release it ahead of time in a 1.17b patch (which me might!), 1.18 will still go live sometime in mid-June at the earliest. Sorry for that.

In the Letter from the Producer, IX (05/02/2011), maybe 1.17b = 1.17c, see how we go, I guess "me might".

Expect what you want, but don't unleash hate threads if you get disappointed.
