November? really?

But a patch after 5 months is too long considering that the expansion doesn't offer much.

the expansion has alot to offer you just need to explore can't expect stuff to fall in your lap.

Oh yes. The zones are pretty big and the story was an enjoyable ride... but once that's over and done with and you do the same thing for 2-3 months, you get (really) bored. Currently, the only end-game PvE content worth doing in FFXIV is: Expert and Trial Roulette for Esoterics and Alexander Normal (which is unfortunately too easy. I was really hoping it would be around the same level as EX Primals. Mid-tier content) for i190 gear to fill in the blanks. Alexander Savage is only for the hardcore raiders, which is fine.

I guess I was wrong. Two more months of capping esoterics with PvP..

Would have love a bit more meaningful info though. There's literally no hype build up from the liveletter. Void Ark and the explolration were shown as still being development, but I'm not completely sold on it (especially the void ark gear sets, it looks like remodeled law gear)

What players should remember is when there is no restriction over the content you can digest, people will always feast upon it as quickly as possible and always be hungry for more. Gamers are gluttons for new content, no matter how you release it or introduce it, a week goes by and they want more.

HW in itself was an expansion they pushed out early, they put a lot into it and the content in itself could of been a patch that was released in October yet they chose to make it part of the expansion itself. So even if it's November that the patch comes out, it's all good since the expansion itself did offer a lot of content to enjoy as well as a complete story that wasn't broken up into 3-5 months that took years to complete (FFXI).

Actually it was delayed, it was originally planned for the first quarter of 2015 but got delayed a monthish.

No, HW was actually pushed back from April to June.

I'm sorry but I do have to point out that HW wasn't pushed out early if anything the release date was pushed forward so they can work on it even more to make sure it was near perfect when it did get release.

A break now (or then) is better than after it's released and we have to sit on bugs for a log time.
