Thread: Where's Patch 4.35

Come on, it'd just be plain ignorance to think that a new regular project in the form of ultimate isn't going to have an effect on everything else. Besides, "present content is stretched incredibly thin" is really a personal opinion and have many others have stated, they see it quite differently and there is plenty to keep them occupied.

And that effect was the omission of a dungeon at best. Per Yoshida's own words from the Live Letter...

"Since there is a large assortment of content being implemented in Patch 4.3, and we believe players will be busy with things like the main scenario, we may push back the implementation of Heaven-on-High just a bit."

That doesn't give the impression they had to delay it due to Ultimate, but rather a decision they made purely on the belief there was enough content to satisfy players. Or at least keep them subscribed. Trying to fault Ultimate for this content drought is simply reaching for excuses. It had no bearing on Heaven on High being delayed.

No one is saying that Ultimate alone is the sole reason for anything to be delayed, only it's a factor in the grand scheme of patch releases which to be honest cannot be shunned as if it's wrong to think like that. And just like you quoted "busy with things like the main scenario", Yoshi did not specify what other things exactly in that patch because he knows every single player will value the individual content in each update very differently. Many things have been delayed in the past and on most occasions something else was thrown in to replace it or brought forward to keep a steady flow of content, any other MMO would do the effect exact same thing.

Based on previous posts we can see who might be the ones reaching for excuses on lack of so called content.
