It's that time again folks! (Tomestone thread)

[Istaru]

Rolling its name change out as news seems naive to me. We all know what this is, especially the vets. That there isn't even the attempt to make even the names different seems all the more pitiful. And people have begun to notice.

I agree.

It is not a good thing when everyone knows what is coming and when. I personally do not like that for the most part, 3.x has been rinse and repeat of 2.x. Sadly, it is looking more and more likely, that for endgame, 4.x will be rinse and repeat again.

I want to be excited when I see patch announcements. I really do. They should be like presents, something to look forward to and a good surprise. Our patches?

Is it an even patch or an odd patch?

Even patch! It will be New Tomestones, new raid tier, 2 "new" "Expert" dungeons, a significant ilvl increase that surpasses even the upgraded Tomestone gear and old raid gear.

(New and expert are in quotes since they aren't always really new and they damn sure aren't of any kind of difficulty.)

Odd patch, upgrade items added to hunts, 24 man dungeon and 2 "new" "Expert" dungeons.

Once in a while, they add in something else that does not add to the endgame experience.

It has been this way for 3 years and most likely, will for at least 3 more. That will be 6 years of basically the same damn thing.

Some people talk about how "terrible" FFXIV 1.0 and XI were and how it would make someone want to uninstall. Even they didn't pull that!
