Thread: Screenshots of 2.0... (Can I Have It?)

When I saw the German Post about Ragnarok Transfers, I thought maybe 1.22 be out in a week or so, because their original 2.0 timeline stated release of 1.22 end of this month, we've also had some responses from devs about 1.22 confirmations as well as official lodestone news posts. It all added up.

But what doesnt make sense, is they were 3 weeks behind on 1.21, how did they suddenly, manage to get that time back to be able to get the next patch out in less than 2 months, kudos if it happens but I it seems very difficult to believe they got 3 weeks delay back on schedule.

So I think 1.22 be after week holiday and then we will maybe get told what will be at e3, as its only 6 weeks from now.

Considering their staff, it's not hard to imagine that they've been working on multiple projects simultaneously. It's very likely that the bulk of 1.22's content was already finished by 1.21's release, and just needed tweaking, balancing readjustments, and playtesting.

We dont know that, (and the Dats say otherwise :O)

Plus, if your a programmer and know it takes 3 months to do a patch, but you delay and now it takes 3m 3w then thats -3w from the next cycle you do, somewhere they managed to get that 3 week back. :O

Sayign that, there is no major overhauls this patch, just mianly content, so a little easier on the team.

They can withhold things they're working on from the .dats until its ready to go in the game. That said, I otherwise I agree with you.

Paired with the fact 1.18-1.21 were considered 1 HUGE patch broken down into phases and after 1.21 they said patches will be a lot quicker.
