They might delay those patches, but like he said, that won't affect 2.0 and it shouldn't. Something with that magnitude have a release date. not only that, but a trailer and PS3 release date that most probably be announced at E3.

Yes, some games do push back an official release date, but never more than 2 weeks.

Aside from that, like I said before, level 50 dungeon people, 50 not 45.... hope it's epic. Oh and one more thing, no running while casting (bye bye dzamel fast runs, better get it out of the way before the update)

except dzemael speedrun doesnt offer achievements and the weps are pretty worthless.

All the people complaining about "oh this delays everything from now on!" "They should redo the timeline!" please stop. The only thing you are convincing SE to do is never release a timeline again because of your constant complaining. They never had to do it in the first place. Personally I like to have the timeline there for a GENERAL guideline!

Also patch 1.21 looks AMAZING! Cant wait.

"Abolition of slot cost for accessories and reorganization of equipping conditions." What!? I am soooo getting my bling bling on!!!!

Job System

Implementation of a system to switch jobs/classes (tentative name: job stones)

Is this gonna be some kind of outside-of-macro job+gear switching? In that case, bravo! If it means finding stones to switch jobs (ala FFXI), unsubscribed.

Everything else seems clear and awesome. Very glad I can keep leveling and know lvl50 will be something else than hunting NM's and grind.

I think it just means after the quest you recieve at rank 30 to unlock the jobs you will get said job stone and once you have equipped your say sword, you equip your paladin stone to another slot and you turn from gladiator to paladin.

That would be beyond awesome. Thank you for the reasponse!

Yes it is. But I thought about something. Right now, you can't change equipment when you have generated enmity/in battle.

In an interview (I'll edit after I can find it), Yoshida gave the Archer/Bard as example. In it he said you could deal a lot of damages as Archer then switch to Bard to start enhancing the party.

I wonder if they got rid of hate preventing from changing gear or if it is specific to the Job Stone.

Hoping there will be an option to turn off the "log out bonus". Otherwise, can't wait to play 1.21

Yes, you can log out outside residence. The bonus only applies if you log out inside your residence.
