Patch date

[Zanfire]

i hope its not soon, mainly because of the tiny amount of things they showed us on the loadstone...battle reform, 2 raids and leves turned into solo content...thats about it. They tend to show a good chunk of what the patch is (at least the major stuff) so if its soon, then we are getting very little, nothing big enough to get anyone back playing it...thats for sure.

sooner the better for me. nothing to do right now.

I realy hope its this week. I think with just auto-attack i could wait a long time for 1.19 and so on.
Ive hated the current system since beta.

[Xeak]

I may be one of the few that actually likes the current battle system ... I know I've seen a few posters that share my opinion. It's just sad that it wasn't perfected. Because people rather use what they're used to (auto-attack), the dev team just decided to scrap it because no one was optimistic of the system getting better. That's how I feel anyway. Maybe implementing an auto-attack toggle while keeping the stamina bar. So the toggle will continuously spam your regular attack until you execute another command. I think that would've been a better solution than having to rework the whole mechanics. But auto-attack is on its way so no use praying for it now ^.^;

SE has alot riding on this patch. For many players this patch is the deciding factor on whether they stay or go. They're probably quadruple checking everything so 18a,b, and c aren't even necessary (bug fixes) and they can just hop to 1.19 next month.

I guess I'm at anger over the latest news of this patch being delayed yet again.

I don't care how polished the AA is (seriously how can something this basic be so hard to implement?!) delaying the patch is a massive sign of disrespect towards the players.
And YES we ARE paying customers. All of us thought there would be a game to play inside when we handed our money to SE for the copy.

Fans extend their patience by staying for a few more months and SE pays us back by ******* on us yet again. It's a never-ending cycle it seems.

And yet here you are...waiting to be **** on again apparantly?

Unlike some people I don't pretend to know anything about game design or what the situation for the dev team currently is. What I am is able to say I am willing to wait to see what happens to the game. I may get frustrated from time to time from the long patch times, but if SE pushes me too far I can and will walk away from this game forever.

Others don't seem to have that option and instead opt to rage about issues outside their own control. If SE is testing you so much why don't you at least put the game down and just wait for the patch before playing again. If you just plain think SE is "Shitting on us" then why don't you tell them to bugger off while you stop playing the game.

Vote with your wallet and show them when the subscriptions turn back on that your not there, it will send your message home 1000x clearer than raging on the internets.

*edit*
also saying that SE has 0 respect for the people playing this game has to be the most blind and ignorant thing I have ever heard on these forums.

I'm not white knighting for them but really? What is Yoshida sitting on a cruise boat somehwere reading the forums for lulz? the producer and mutliple staff have appolagized on many occasions and made it very clear they are working extremly hard to get this ship into shape.

They can't post a damn timeline becuase they themselves have no god damn clue how long some of these things will take to do....ugh I'll stop talking now it's going to fall on deaf ears anyhow.

SE doesn't owe you anything, you paid the game, you have been disappointed because it sucked, but that happens when you buy other games as well, sometime they suck and you wish you never bought them, but guess what? that's life, you su** it up and move on.

You are not paying monthly fees to be playing this game so they do not owe you anything. If anything, you owe it to be thankful to them to let you play instead of shuting the servers down while they fix stuff, which would have probably been a better options and would have made things move faster.

Also, they are still in the delays they said they would take, so stop crying and just wait until it's released.

[Zanfire]

^ they seem to still treat the updates like ...well updates (to a working game). When you see sprinkles of info for FFXI, its totally fine, because the game is working great and there is already plenty to do. When your game is a broken mess that needs fixing, you should treat the changes accordingly. Tell us exactly what you plan to get done for the patch right away so no one is hyping crap for nothing and if something goes wrong or can't be finished (they know well before hand when they cant get something done in time) TELL US.

[GabbaGabba]

really, its not SE's fault people overhype and speculate to end up being disappointed.

if they misinformed us by giving us the wrong info or bad info, like not implementing something that was suppose to be implemented, then you can blame SE.

i personally dont care how much information they release on the patch. i'd rather experience the patch for myself then let SE tell us everything that is in the patch
