Possible patch delay

[Biggs]

What's your point? MW3 just made a billion dollars in 16 days. It has more engaging multiplayer than XIV. I can even team up with friends for challenging PvE content. Plus, MW3 is a lot like XIV when it first released in that we have a character level and a level for each weapon.

What's not to compare? RPG elements are in most games these days. As MW3 shows, if a grind is done properly those nasty "casual gamers" don't mind a grind.

Only difference is Activision takes their flagship titles seriously and understands do-overs aren't likely.

Exactly. PLus 1 man. Its not like I am comparing cats to the planet mars here. We are talking about games within the same genre. Both have very similar elements in game design and Playability. Certainly I understand that SE is making every attempt to repair what was done, and I applaud them for having the balls to do what no other major gaming company has ever done (that I know of) by doing so. I hope that they are successful in every way and we get the game we were hoping for. But its only natural when mistakes are made that people will make comparisons.

Lets hope this next patch bring thems one step closer to reaching their goal when it is finally released. (See how I used that last part to stay on topic? )

Hey guys. I wanted to come in here with the official translations from Yoshida about the 1.20 patch release date.
Thank you for your patience while waiting for our translations.

Hi, this is Producer/Director Yoshida here.

My apologies to everyone with regards to the release date of patch 1.20.
Up until now we have been working on finalizing patch 1.20, however while we were doing this we discovered a few critical issues related to the market search and servers. Up until yesterday we were carrying out fixes, but today we are going to have to carry out one more round of checks as it's important for us to get back to a stabilized condition.

Unfortunately we can confirm that it will take a minimum of 2 days to clear this up, therefore the patch that was scheduled for release on Dec 14th will now be scheduled for Dec 16th at the earliest. My sincerest apologies for this unexpected delay.

We will make a topic announcement sometime today with a more defined date. Again I am really sorry to have to tell you this right before the release.
I'm going to get back to work on coordinating the fixes for the release so please bare with us for just a little more.

And here is his most recent update:

Hello, this is Yoshida, the producer/director.

I apologize sincerely for the troubles we have caused by our delay of patch 1.20. At first, we decided that it would be possible to release the patch on the 14th, but upon our final master QA inspection we discovered a critical bug that required fixing before the release of the patch.
(The bug occurs with low frequency only when the system is heavily loaded, so it took us a long time to discover it.)

In order to remove the affected area and release the patch without the bug, we would have to mask the affected program codes and completely re-inspect the entire patch. Doing so would likely push back the release date further than if we fixed the bug, so we decided to fix the bug. Fortunately, the bug has already been fixed, so we can confirm another release date as long as no further problems are discovered in tomorrow’s QA inspection.
(With that said, I cannot say anything else for certain until the inspection is completed, so please wait until tomorrow for an update.)

There is also a seasonal event included in this patch, so I would like to release the patch by this weekend for players to enjoy.

I am very sorry that my miscalculations have caused a lot of trouble. From here on out, I will be more careful in my calculations before announcing a definite release date. We appreciate your continued support.

For Yoshi-P, don't worry about "miscalculation" of release dates, 2 days doesn't count as miscalculation.
I much prefer the rough estimate of December 14th than none at all.

Keep up your great work devs!

Chuck Norris can do whatever he wants, even after taking an arrow to the knee, while eating the sweetroll he stole from you.
