Are you a tootsie roll pop?

It's unfortunate, but it is what it is. Just gives me more time to farm esoteric gear and my level my miner. Might have to buckle down and get serious about it finally!

Some of you are just plain selfish.. The hours they work, they deserve a mini-vacation.. Jesus people on these forums are ruthless ><

I could care less about the patch release date. However, from a BUSINESS/CLIENT point of view, saying you'll delay product for one month because your team needs a vacation is just crap.

If Netflix sent you an email saying that you'll have no new releases for the next two months because their Acquisitions team will be off to relax would you be OK?

I haven't read the entire agreement we signed, and although I'm pretty sure a specified amount of time for content update is not in writing, delaying product because your team is taking a vacation is not something you say to costumers. Problem is probably Square Enix and not the XIV team though; from what it seems they are still a small team of super overworked people despite the huge success of this game.

My, there must be a lot of ppl playing this game when asked, "what did you do with your 2015 summer?" Reply with, "gorged on an mmo to the point that I'm so mad the devs are taking their own summer vacation". Honestly, the man hours in play here to have done all this game has to offer shows nothing more than most ppl here need to do more with their time.

Personally i wouldn`t mind a 5 month wait of content if we get more polished, well thought and consistent content.

Truthfully I'd be fin with the wait I really would. But what I'm not fine with is that they just made the same kind of dungeons and raids. This is the problem with them making stuff so simple and straight forward to make it so people who only have say 1-2 hours a day to play.

2.0 saved ffxiv. 3.0 they should have taken a risk to add something different to the base expansion. But they didn't that's what people are mad at.

Everything's the same. I'm happy the Devs wer able to take a break but why would you do the same dungeon raid type as 2.0. I mean it's good that you made a story mode for a raid I know people love story's. But in my opinion its one of the worse waste of resources. I would have much rather not have savage if the normal raid was much longer and more rewarding.

Well....that's a lot of time to stockpile even more gil.
lol
Kinda disappointed, but at least the game isn't as distracting the way it is right now. I might even get to play through some of my steam backlog of games.

MORE of the same content that made 2.0 great. I don't see the problem. You enjoyed the framework so much before, if you were looking for something different than an expansion of this framework, you should've played something different.

While I have been eagerly awaiting to step into (onto?) the Void Ark, the bright side is that I have more time to catch up on gearing my main job. Between a hdd that died & now a possibly dying mobo, as well as Diablo season 4... which I still need to finish objectives for if I want that pet... it's been slow going for me.

Okay, I've also been working on the Draenor Pathfinder meta...

Also, the men and women who work on this game need vacations, too.

[Laerune]

Personaly I like it this way, I was planning on taking a break to play my other games and this way, I will not be left behind.

Woah now, that's just crazy talk. Netflix doesn't add anything new for like 2-3 months :P They just recycle their "recently added" with stuff thats been on there for over a year
