Thread: 4.1 - The emptiest patch yet.

Personally, I quite like to post threads that have little in the way of my own opinions outside of the topic of the thread so that I might see people's personal opinions first, untarnished by my own, before finally going back and posting my own feelings on the matter. I find that through doing this I am able to better get my points across on the subject. Often times people will post ideas that will resonate with me strongly, so that I might better articulate my own, or even ones in opposition that are worded so powerfully that I find myself agreeing with them.

Unfortunately all I walked away with this time is that World of Warcraft players are happy to get less than what we're getting, and that the community should be more like World of Warcraft players and just enjoy what they are given.

Really, what we're actually dealing with is the two-fold issue of SE sticking to their guns on keeping with the fourteen week schedule, despite some of the planned content not yet being ready, and the heavy amount of dev time that has to go into further balancing jobs and completing a large backlog of QoL fixes.

Basically, a substancial chunk of 4.1 is intangible stuff that will help the game in the long run. It's needed, but for a player like you who *seems to me* to be focussed on raw combat progression and gear, I can absolutely see the dissapointment.

So, while there are mountains of side content and small things to work on, they don't build up your iLVL, so it's not priority. Am I on the nose?

3.22 says hi: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...9cc307c28477e3
(entirely focused around PVP changes. So if you dont do PVP good luck finding "new" stuff)

And 3.1 says hi http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...c91d884c6b6a84
(too early to properly tell but on a rough estimation it's deffinetely around the same mark as 4.1 in terms of content, if not beneath)


You might wanna rephrase what you said, or did you come here just to play doomsayer?
And yes, both of my examples are to tackle both the litteral, and subjective idea of 4.1 being content bare.

Go ahead and try and the MSQ takes 1-2 days to get through max its not what keeps people invested over an entire patch period

We just had a live letter that went over everything we are getting this patch there is no surprises coming before the patch notes come out.


eDIT:

3.22 is a partial patch , 3.2 is a main patch try again

3.1 had 2 dungeons, ex primal, 1 raid, diadam, beastquests, LoV and got relic in 3.15

4.1 has 1 dungeon. 1 raid, ex primal, ultimate, beastquest and pvp in 4.15(in 3.0 we got new pvp mode before 3.1)

3.1 failed because the content failed ultimately not that it was lacking

You're right. It's not like they're also adding

• A 24man raid,
• Ultimate Savage (to satisfy the absolute 1% players),
• New dungeon.
• New Custom Deliveries (for crafters).
• Ability to use your Adventurer Squadron to better level jobs you might want but are bellow 50 (god knows I have atleast 1 that I'd be glad to finally get outof the way)
• New EX mode primal
• New Beast Tribe
• And a new housing district (techniqly only opening it up for plot purchase)

Totally just the MSQ being added, yup yup

Tut tut. That's not the argument being made. Either stay on target, or know when to back down

And here we go. Hard proof that you're incapable of seeing beyond what might give you that oh so precious ilevel boost.
Or you wouldnt have omitted the....

• Hidlibrand sidequests,
• Shirogane being released to the public
• and new Stormblood tiered Custom Deliveries

A patch is a patch.
Your entire point is 4.1 will add the least ammount of content to the game ever outof any patch, both past and present

You did not say major patch. You did not say partial patch excluded. You did not say story/raid/etc patch only.

Hence, 3.22 says hi to your rather blatant case of hyperbole.

This is why I gave you the opening to rephrase. And it's why I had two examples, to counter both the litteral, and non litteral meaning of what you said.
I'd advise you to next time not spit in peoples face when they're trying to be nice

And I have no idea why you even mention 3.2, to then go on and adress 3.1 due to it being the one I actually mentioned.
Slip of the tongue, or ill concieved attempt to divert from my counter argument?
