Thread: Patch 1.18 release date announced! July 21

Where are all these people saying it was supposed to be out mid-June? They said mid-June at earliest.

Anyways, glad to hear a release date. Hopefully it was worth the wait.

Unless this battle fix really does suddenly make everything so easy for them (along with tons of sh*t coding problems are taken care of) then your probably right. I keep hearing about all this "the code is making it hard" crap for how long now?

First 1.18 was going to be mid Spring then there was the earthquake and things were pushed back to mid June.
This was understandable.
Then it was mid to late June, ok, ran into a few issues, few things still aren't quite done.
Then we get told 2 week delay, ok so 2 week delay from a late June release would be the 14th.
Now we are being told that it will be the 21st? WAIT!, 21 divided by 7 is 3 weeks! (yes I know stating the obvious there)
And! it might be delayed another day or two past that......
Seriously SE get your stuff together, this has been one disappointment after another.

Alright, I have some thoughts on this thread. This is my first post so bare with me. I'm going to be the optimist and say that 1.19 might be sooner than a lot of people are expecting. Yoshi is saying that the reason for the big delay of the 1.18 patch is the instant raids, which would have a dedicated team working on that. If all the other teams are running on schedule then I can see 1.19 coming out pretty soon after 1.18 comes out.

My second thought is maybe SE should split the patch's into two separate categories. Have a set of patch's that would only be updates (battle reforms etc) and the other set to be content. If they did that, they could have brought out 1.18 with everything but the raids in june and the raids could have come out in July.

Thats all I have right now.

yes because no other game has ever, ever, EVER delayed a patch.

at least they are being upfront and saying why its delayed.
