3.1 First update without a new primal?

**Gilraen** · 10-25-2015 02:27 AM

I wouldn't really count Ifrit Extreme and King Moggle Mog as those were fights introduce late into 1.0. I still have my keystones from that earlier King Moggle Mog unlock. Further, the delay of 3.1 wasn't intentional, they took a much deserved vacation which pushed the update release back. I mean, they'd just launched Heavensward not a month or two prior and spent time after fixing bugs that escaped testing. People need to relax about this stuff. We still don't know the full breadth of the update, and they've not really revealed everything that's going to be in it. We won't know till the update is released and they post up the patch notes. Talking is fine as long as we curb the unrest.

Just hoping here that Singularity HM/EX doesn't have gear that makes it dead on arrival like Ultima.

Totally expect it.

If you want 210 gear outside of savage, you will have to do the ever so challenging void ark!

I don't see how a normal 1-2 week vacation could push a patch back by 2 months, especially with what appears to be a meager offering of content. If it was a longer vacation than 2 weeks, then it was stupid of them to take such a long break without any form of coverage. Stop making excuses for the Dev team. They dropped the ball and they need to know they messed up.

The least they could have done would be to have added in the level 50 dungeon exp since we've had such a long, long delay instead of waiting until 3.1 to put it in.

You probably noticed that while the assets are the same, 2.0 is a completely different game, those fights still needed to be designed, coded, and tested to make sure that they are fit for release, if that's your argument then SR Ex shouldn't count because we got SR in 3.0

Given that you have literally no idea what level of depth might be involved in the new island exploration and boss monsters that would dwell in these areas it would be foolish to say they are not releasing enough content in this patch. Also new relic quest is starting as well.

The relic quest is going to be some half-assed grind with a shoddy story, not exactly what I'd consider meaningful content.

Wel i agree with Zobia. as u compare all the content we got from 2.1-2.5 i just feel this update is maybe lacking a bit. again i said this is all speculation but we will just have to see. and if we are also missing a dungeon i just hope that this update gets atleast a NEW primal/Trial aswell. Doomtrain would be so awesome :P

It's their job to convince us our monthly subscription is worth it and that the upcoming content is also worth paying for. Saying that we "have literally no idea" is indicative of the problem between the extended delay and their lack of selling the continued worth of this game. Any lack of consumer confidence is their failure, not ours.

Copper Bell Mines HM
aesthetician
Amalj'aa and Sylph dailies

3.1:
Doom Train (speculated)
Singularity Reactor Ex
Void ark
Saint Mocianne's Arboretum
pharos Sirius HM
island exploration
lord of verminion
new Relics
Vanu Vanu Dailies
a new series of side quests similar to the Mail Mog ones (Saint Endalim Scholasticate)
possibly the training area? not sure if that was pushed back from 3.1 or not

Seems like there is a lot lacking.

Fixed that for you, with some things you forgot... Though I'm not too sure how you could consider something like Wolves' Den or the Aesthetician to be considered significant content... Or Housing, for how many people simply don't have access to that... May as well consider Housing reclamation significant in that case...

Anyway, the update isn't next week, we've still got a few more previews to get through... Plus, as with most things, it's about quality, not quantity... I would value the Sky Exploration stuff over pretty much everything 2.1 offered, provided they don't royally screw it up... Heck, I'm already jokingly saying that Final Fantasy XIVs main selling point is Lord of Verminion... That just looks fun...

Then there are all the adjustments to existing content... They mentioned adjustments to Chocobo Racing I believe, and like Wolves' Den I'd consider that to be dead on arrival, so hopefully 3.1 can actually raise it to a reasonable standard.
