Information on 1.21 Next week?

[Agoven]

Hamlet defense got delayed because initially it was designed for magic and battle classes only. Due to the uproar that DoL and Hand wanted to be involved in Hamlet without having to battle...Yoshi-p and team had to go back to the drawing board to redesign to accommodate said players.

...by the way not too many people talking about it but magic classes as of 1.21 will be close to where they are going to be be for 2.0 release...not sure why that's not a hot topic. I think the mage classes are pretty well played now.

Since playing battle classes a little bit more I'm learning to take full advantage of their TP and have lots of actions to perform all the time...it is imperative that you add throwing items to your mix. You can speedily almost every other attack do a combo move if you add in a throwing item.

That's not true. I think that from the very beginning it was already mentioned that DoL and DoH would be participating in Hamlet Defense. The reason for the delay was just the scale of this content was way larger than anticipated.

Not true in the slightest, we knew from the very start that Hamlets were to have content for DoL and DoH as well... Please don't state your own speculations as fact, especially when you're 100% wrong.

I want to know why FF11 gets like 90-100% more updates per week than what we get for 14 GRRRR!!!!!

Because it's a 10 year old game which is mostly only getting zone/job/quest tweaks and monster reskins?

Except they're Canadian.
Not like it makes that game any better, though.

The Austin, Texas studio is responsible for the POS SWtor game. It's an American MMO.

Uh...it was widely believed for a long time that Hamlet defense would only be for Battle and Magic classes...Yoshida made a point in case because it was still widely believed to be the case and I quote from him:

" But, it’s going to be fresh new content that can allow all classes to play an integral role (not just combat classes!),"

I'd like to see some thread postings...if you wanna go all dramatic about what was officially ever said.

And Rukkirii announced this as firm news only on the 16th of this month.

And I QUOTE: "Hamlet defense update.
We received news about the anticipated hamlet defense!

The development team is currently working on the hamlet defense which is slated to be released in patch 1.22. They are creating the content to allow every class, including crafters and gatherers, to be able to participate.

We will be introducing the specifics post-patch 1.21, so please look forward to it!"

So everyone BSing about my comment should really READ the facts. Since if you look anywhere on dev notes or postings there hasn't been any concrete to this matter until that postin.

The dev team went very silent on what was actually going to happen once Yoshida took the helm...and they never confirmed how hamlet defense would take shape...to this day and as noted in some patch notes in 1.21 we still don't know much if anything about hamlet defense.

Except much of the work came from Bioware Austin. I should know, I was learning Zbrush from one such employee last semester and they dropped by my Dad's resturant all the time to pick up orders.
