Thread: 4.1 - The emptiest patch yet.

Yeah, I suppose I can't really argue with that. The odd patches did always tend to be the "casual / catch up" patches...

I guess I just get distracted very easily. I sort of balk at the idea of doggo farming being what carries us to 4.2, and I don't care about my FFlogs since I'm trash.

That's a fair point. Don't know how long Eureka is going to take to release, though.

Yea they are going to have to hustle up because there are some great changes coming and things but I doubt this patch content will even last the whole month of october before ppl only log in for expert dailies and savage weeklies......there is no gear gates or anything so those great raids teams will have cleared ultimate pretty quick...24 man will be a wipe rest the first day or two and then turn into something you have to force yourself to do....

People couldn't even clear shinryu normal so I imagine ex will join the ranks of "steps or faith" and "final steps of faith" meaning people suck terribly at simple mechanics...Sooo overall 4.1 won't last long at all lol

I wouldn't call it empty. That said, the devs' refusal to create content with a high degree of replayability and long term incentive structures will only hurt the game long term with regard to retaining subs. If they are fine with people unsubbing and coming back for the next expansion that is their prerogative I suppose.

I stand by my opinion the gear system in this game needs a drastic overhaul.

Will there be new crafts and gatherables? I looked through the notes and just saw some stuff about Zoey. Was fun gathering and making hq stuff like over a year ago when it wasn't hello kitty land.

@OPs question - battlefield 1 and maybe TW:2

To put it bluntly...I would be unsubscribed right now if I didn't pay for two months.
This is a ridiculously lackluster patch, and I'm not going to sit here and pretend I enjoy playing 4 month old dungeons.

If you are looking for this game to be the game you spend hours upon hours in and not much else. No patch will quench that thirst if the content is cherry picked by only what we like. There is a broad range of existing content, we either like it or we don't.

Eh, it's not a fair argument when content gets pushed back that people were looking forward to. They subscribed with the intent of thinking they would be able to play said content and now they won't. They do have a reason to be bummed out by it. Now I could understand your argument if SE didn't have content get pushed back or forgotten but that's not the case. This is content that is pushing back the Relic phase which is something that could occupy a lot of people's time but now that huge time investment is removed from this patch cycle.
