Patch date

[Viridiana]

This is what the long development time does to the players. We all want this patch to be stock-full of content because of the amount of time it's been in the works.

No, this is what not having a real "Under Developement" section does. If they actually consolidated wtf was going to be in the next patch into one little lodestone page, we wouldn't engage in half as much guesswork. Instead they spread the info out over hell's half acres. . .

I agree, you're right about that.
Now people seem to think 1.18 is the holy grail of patches and it seems there's not any content besides the dungeons being shipped with it. I'm not saying 2 dungeons aren't good news they're just nowhere near enough. Pushing back the release of 1.18 also pushes back all the future content updates that follow it in the already too distant future.

I'll assume it will be on a thursday if anything. Gives them ample time to announce on monday after the weekend.

So it's been two weeks since the 6/14 letter that estimated it would take about two weeks to finish 1.18. When's the release date? Whether it's delayed again or set for sometime next week, I'd like to know.

I expect well see the patch in the next 2-3 days Probably Wednesday

Just for the record, 1.18 is more than just core of the auto-Attack and battle reform and the 2 dungeons.

There will be the grand companies, the quests hubs, the beast tribes settlement, Guild Leve reforms, new quests added. And I am probably missing some stuff.

Maybe not as big as most anticipated but still more than some people make it out to be. And more to come with 1.19 and 1.20 shortly after. 1.18 they said took longer because of the core reforms they had to do but things will come out faster after.

I think a lot of us are expecting things like quests hubs and beast tribe settlements to be delayed since it's been a while since they talked about them. The only thing they confirmed recently was that there will be some Grand Companies storyline stuff.

Beast tribes stated to come out AFTER quest hubs actually. Believe it was the article for quest hubs way back that said that^^ Might of said was for 1.19 too... and ya 1.18 def will be longest wait otherwise they won't even come close to finishing everything they wanted by end of summer xD We'd be lucky to get in 1 more patch, so let's hope it's way shorter for 1.19 like it should be^^

Yeah, I just checked and he said they probably had to delay it to 1.19 in the Letter from the Producer IX.

You're all crazy!

WOTG...now that's real content. As others are saying this won't be the end all be all of patches, but it's a step in the right direction (cross fingers).

On a side note:
Archer using bare fists really...? Where is the "Final Fantasy" creativity...
