Thread: Information on 1.21 Next week?

First off, in a setting like game development deadlines are really just guidelines. They really are a hopeful guess with, "I think we could have it done by this time." I've worked with programming, something of this scale can have countless things, can and will, go wrong or get delayed. When integrating code from multiple people, you pray nothing goes wrong. Then integrating that code into an already running system, you pray again. It is just the nature of programing. Not to mention the QA and testing of the code. I've debugged 500+ pages of code before, it is a task you want to shoot yourself over. My point being, the timeline they put out, was an educated guess at best.

Why do I bring this up? SE, since Yoshi took over FF14, has made habit of not putting out info until it is ready. We do not get anything until they have if fleshed out and working on a level they are comfortable with. The main issue with FF14 pre-Yoshi was they made promises and put out the plan too early; so when they fell behind they had to ship a bad unfinished product. You saw how well that went for the release of this game. Yoshi has shown he rather delay content than release unfit content.

My guess is, if they haven't put anything out yet, they are still making it worth our time. I rather have a quality product myself. I know we, the FF14 player base, feel entitled to faster updates and patches. We are paying them after all, this doesn't stop development time.

This next patch is huge and is adding a lot of well... just stuff. This 1.21 will determined if players stay or leave. If the job system fails... this game fails. I imagine they want the release of jobs and first two raid made with jobs in mind to be amazing. The job system is meant to bring life and interest back into this game. There is a lot of hype about the job system coming out and SE knows it. I can see why they are being quiet and might delay this patch, lots is riding on this patch.

Wow, Vack, look at that, another Forum Poster that agrees with me? You might as well call them a White Knight in order to discredit anything and everything they have to say. While you are at it why don't you ask them if they are stupid too?

So SE delayed the notes of delaying the delayed patch?

Yup, but they also delayed the announcement of delaying the notes of the delayed patch.

Why would I ask if he is stupid? He hasn't quoted me and if he did I would imagine he wouldn't give me one of your meaninglessly droning answers that had nothing to do with what I was saying.

OMG!? he agrees with you? Wow, thats bizarre because I thought forums were all uniform instead of a collage of yes men. You've yet again blown my mind. Maybe I should point out people who agree with me and after that we could meet behind K-Mart and have a bought of fisticuffs.

You are outstanding.

You know what Vack? You are right, I am wrong. SE has totally left us in the dark, with barely an update once every two weeks. Would you ever be so kind as to accept my sincerest apologies:

Boy, thats an exciting list you got up there. I feel totally pumped! In particular the link you put about new videos that were promised... oh wait they're not here yet. No new videos. No new pictures. No new anything about things that are actually relevant and would make the player base hyped to keep playing and actually come back.

Hey, quick question! Where can I get some of those rose tinted glasses you're wearing?

Way to put up another wall of crap.

But good job wasting your time collaborating all that for nothing.

Its his shtick.
