Miss the day when dev puts out a road map

[alimdia]

Here's a roadmap:

4.3

24 man raid
1 expert dungeon
1 ultimate raid
tome gear upgradeable outside savage
crafter tribe
1 ex primal

4.4

savage raid
2 expert dungeons
new tome gear
new crafted gear
1 ex primal

4.5

24 man raid
1 expert dungeon
1 ultimate raid
tome gear upgradeable outside savage
1 ex primal
story split in two to artificially extend it

5.0

savage raid
2 expert dungeons
new tome gear
new crafted gear
2 ex primal
aquapolis 3.0

5.1

24 man raid
1 expert dungeon
1 ultimate raid
tome gear upgradeable outside savage
beast tribe
1 ex primal

5.2

savage raid
2 expert dungeons
new tome gear
new crafted gear
1 ex primal
beast tribe

~ TBC ~

This game is already extremely predictable, I didn't even list the extra eureka maps or deep dungeon, but while we don't know when they will be added, we know they are in the roadmap.

I wish I could give you more +1's alimdia.

But yeah, the roadmap alimdia provided seems the most legit. It's as predictable as knowing what the school cafeteria will be serving for lunch (pizza again? really??). I want to be surprised, but I guess that ain't happening in XIV. Oh well. /wine

What if the surprise will be nothing as in literally nothing, mind you it'll happen I'm sure of it.

But Let me ask you however this.
Will you be ok with a longer patch delay but with real new content or will you prefer a formula BUT all the new infrastructure shifted to an expansion release (for example aquapolis, potd and everything else at SB release instead of their normal release).

Yoshi already stated the Eureka updates were going to be every half patch.

Then followed up with stating it would be in 4.3x

I'm not sure a road map would make a difference right now. I mean, we can craft 90% of it ourselves; new dungeons here and here, new Alliance raids here, new Savage / Ultimate stuff there...

Personally, rather than missing the road map itself, I miss feeling excitement at what a road map might contain. I haven't really felt that since 1.x and the first couple of update cycles for ARR. Since then, it's very much felt like the development team is treading water, lacking the motivation / talent / resources to actually build out FFXIV properly. Until the development malaise improves, a road map would just be a reminder of precisely how stale FFXIV's updates have become.

Please Yoshi P bring the road maps. here some way you solve it give time frames

we planned to bring this content at this point but give 1 or 2 week at latest

No need for road maps if the game won't be significantly changing. They only did that during 1.x because the game was so broken and they needed to show players they were working toward some kind of workable goals.
