Desired Longer In-Between Patch Times

[TempusFinis]

I actually welcome the longer inbetween patch times. This gives new and old players time to do the longer content and new players to reasonably contest long time ranked veteran players in achievements, minions, mounts, and etc.


I personally wouldn't mind if the developers took a year off inbetween patches, and re-ran all the crossovers, mog hunts, special events, and etc, and have dedicated gamers re-run Eureka, Bozja, and other content for exclusive rewards during such a long break.

For example,

1) 1 rare Token (Pearl of the Eureka) from clearing Eureka

2) 1 rare Token (Pearl of the Bozja) from clearing Bozja

3) 1 rare Token (Pearl of the POTD) from clearing POTD

4) 1 rare Token (Pearl of the HOH) from clearing HOH

5) 1 rare Token (Pearl of the Rival Wings) from clearing Rival Wings

6) 1 rare Token (Pearl of the Blue Mage) from clearing or re-clearing Blue Mage log

7) 1 rare Token (Pearl of the Fates) from clearing or re-clearing the all Major Fates with Achievements*

8) And other content as desired….



The tokens don't have to be pearls. It could be anything, but it would be very similar to the now retired weekly Arch Mage quest, "The Gift of the Archmagus" from Koh Rabntah in Mor Dhona. These exclusive items (i.e. rare minion, mount, and/or gear) can only be obtained during that year only.


Your thoughts?

Just because you want to continue playing old content should everyone else be waiting for you? What about all the players who have already played this content? Shouldn't they get anything new until you're ready?

[Gullis]

You say that now, but when you have done all the old content you want to do, then what?

[Payadopa]

I can only hazard a guess as to what horrific consequences that would have for the install base of XIV. You want this game to shut down or something? lol

[Asari5]

i mean... once that time is over we would get a LOT of content at once. if we wont have died from boredom at that point that is.

[Ath192]

No. I would like more content please. Just because there's a silver lining for some players that doesn't mean this is a great situation. But I am willing to wait if the graphics upgrade turns out amazing. Like, if they do that right, for now, I can hold on.

[aveyond-dreams]

Only FFXIV players would argue in favor of less content and more time between content releases.

[RyuDragnier]

Obvious bait thread is obvious. Love to see how many took it though.

[Saraide]

Why stop at 1 year? One patch per generation seems easily enough.

[PeaTearGriffin]

Oh yeah? Well I want two years in between patches.
