Well you just get rejected on your first attempt at a date in 7 years. ; ;
But on related matter! The more sorrow we create, the better we can drown out the hype.

Like for instance, Redmage dreams, no one said a thing about redmage being added yet, but now, we got people dreaming and hoping. When we get announced what classes will be added in the near future, I can imagine a a wave of sorrow that would overpower any strong minded fanboy~

But of course, if it does get add on the list, happyness for all, except for those who were rooting for other classes. So its better to down play the hype, live with in sadness.
Come to the darkside~ We have sorrow.

That's why I am trying not to let myself get too excited. I'm trying to set my expectations based on what the devs actually say and not get carried away with the communities dreams.

Why would you tell random soulless forum "people" something like that...

I have high expectations for 2.0 including:

real alliance endgame content that has longevity and real progression (much better than the current offerings, where progression is measured by kills and not just date/time of day of kills like Garuda or speed runs)
new and impressive maps
better response times


I'll be disappointed if this stuff isn't here, but I'm going to continue to expect it because... well they promised to deliver it and I'm not in the habit of paying subscriptions to development companies I have no faith whatsoever in delivering on those promises. If I was I'd still be playing Vanguard.

In fact, it's so common to hear, even the players themselves have started to say it like, "Ooh! Maybe in 2.0!"

I know 2.0 is gonna be big, but then maybe a week after it finally settles in, we'll say to ourselves. "This.... is it?"

So I wanna beat the sadness to the punch! Put on your future goggles and say how 2.0 will disappoint you.

Pointless thread is pointless~

What are you talking about? Just look at the link above which says 2.0 and check the concept art and roadmap. That's that. They are following exactly what is outlined and taking some ideas we post here. You shouldn't expect anything different from that. The only thing that worries me, sometimes os that they will lower the graphics with this new engine. I hope I'm wrong.

You see road map, I see ideas which are subject to drastic change.
Maybe everything we see on that list would be added in, maybe it won't. If it doesn't make it by 2.0, would you really be okay with "Okay guys, 2.1! Wait until then, and you'll have a MMO ready to be played and expanded upon."
I'm just setting myself up for disappointment. :3

But I see that little worry in your post, that is what this thread is about, a little worry. In a collected and haphazard format.

So far, they patched it exactly how they outlined there. Check the Af gear there and in game now. Of course that all that is there won't be in game at 2.0 .some post they mentioned that all that's outlined will be ingame by the end of 2013 and not when 2.0 rolls out. Anyway, MMOS are always a work in progress. Delays are always certain.

version 2.0 will still have robot crafting in town

I fear, that after 2.0 We'll still have a weak and confusing elemental wheel...
Lightning>Water>Earth>Lightning.
Wind>Fire>Ice>Wind
What is this... I don't even...
