Thread: Where is 1.20B, Is 1.21 going to be late?

Not sure if my post came out as flaming or complaining, I am just worried, I am REALLY looking forward to 1.21 and would like some more information and some assurances that things are not going wrong behind the SE curtain that we are not aware of. SE has done a great job recently in regards to keeping the community in the loop(compared to nothing for previous titles).

Everyone left now that we are P2P care about this game and want it to succeed. I'm just getting worried. SE please quell my fears.

Goobue is obviously to tide people over for the incoming bad news. Personally I am looking forward to the next patch because of jobs and I hope SE suprises me with saying that the next patch will be right on scheduel. But I also don't want them to rush the jobs.

To be fair to them, Gobbue does make up for an inevitable delay as far as I'm concerned

They often announce lettered patches only a day or two before the release (I'm guessing we'll get 1.20b sometime next week), so it's still very much possible for them to release 1.21 on schedule. Also, early February means anytime between 1-15th in SE's world, so they have whole month to do it.

However, rule of thumb is that patches will be late. It always happens, and it would be foolish to think this time will be any different.

The Gobbue was planned since the first live producers letter, I sincerely it has anything to do with tiding things over. As it is, it's not as if the game has been canceled, so not seeing what there is to "worry" about. 1.21 isn't even out of schedule until mid Feb. If it isn't out by the first part of Mar. and we haven't heard anything at all about its contents, then maybe worry. However, kind of premature to start getting worked up over its release until at least March.

I think the reason people say this is because they're giving us a new mount in a lettered patch and not a main patch. It just seems like an odd thing to do.

That is exactly it.

And I am not worried that 1.21 wont come out. I am only worried that it won't be on time like everyone wants it to be(regardless of how every other patch is late and and that we should "expect lateness") I am fully aware, understand and respect that a patch will be out when it's ready and not before, nor do I want rushed buggy content.

I just wants it, and I want a status up date so I know, regardless, good or bad, where do we/they stand.

They're probably also busy analyzing server population in preparation of world merge/shift too. If GildRein assumption is right (see link below); there are two things that might be coming before the end of the month, info concerning world shift/merge and patch 1.20b.
