1.22a Patch Notes

[Firon]

As evidenced by Yoshida's March Letter form the Producer this was never planed as just a "Hot-Fix" Patch. It was clearly designed as an additional content patch to include AF Weapons. The real problem is the fact that they failed to mention anything about any delays. We have become so accustomed to receiving timely information that when they slip up, as they did this time, people react negatively. A simple post via the Community Reps would have avoided much of this. Most people are understanding of the complexities of trying to work on 2 games simultaneously and will accept some delay as long as they know before hand.

When you learn what the words High Chance to be implemented in patch 1.22a means then you can complain. Last time i checked that means we still may not get them in 1.22a.

First of all. I was not complaining. Secondly a "High Chance" means exactly that. When I see that then I can reasonably expect to see it baring unforeseen delays. The point of my post was the fact that they did not inform us of the delay, even in the Patch Notes. As I read the Letter I got the impression that they were going to try for the weapons in Ver1.22 but probably would not make it til Ver 1.22a. Different people read things different ways.

Learn up the meaning of "keep you in the loop." They also said they'd keep us in the loop if it didn't look like this content was going to be ready in time for 1.22a. Silence would therefore signify that things are fine and dandy. A promise to keep us informed was not kept and the community was allowed to be lead on. There is no other way to spin it.

I think the main problem was that Yoshida promised to keep us in the loop, and he didn't. I know that some people would be annoyed even if he did tell us about the delay, but at least he would have kept his word, and at least to me, that counts for a lot.

I'm still looking for this quote that he said he would tell us how the weps are progressing cause in the last letter he states that the other 2 hamlets will be in 1.22a and that was it.

In order to deliver the patch to you in time for Golden Week, I’m afraid we’ve had to postpone a number of things. These include job-exclusive weapons, chat log reforms, and other content I touched on last time. With regards to hamlet defense, only Hyrstmill will be ready for 1.22; the remaining two hamlets will go live in 1.22a, which is scheduled for May 10. We also have plans for a patch 1.22b, which is expected to follow shortly thereafter. You can rest assured that we will maintain our pace even after 1.22 is released!

Pretty sure that right there says what was coming 1.22a but I might be reading it wrong.

You have to go back a month and a half, because the quote is from the letter at the end of March. It says in his road map there that there is a "high likelihood of a 1.22a release" and then he says at the end of that letter that there's "a chance that job-specific weapons might have to be delayed to 1.22a or later... I'll be sure to keep you in the know on the coming progress." Fast forward an entire month and a half, two patches, and another letter from the producer, and through all of that not a mention is ever made of a decision for job-exclusive weapons to be delayed past 1.22a.

Exactly, there was nothing said in the last letter. That's part of the problem. You have to go back a month and a half, because the quote is from the letter at the end of March. It says in his road map there that there is a "high likelihood of a 1.22a release" and then he says at the end of that letter that there's "a chance that job-specific weapons might have to be delayed to 1.22a or later... I'll be sure to keep you in the know on the coming progress." Fast forward an entire month and a half, two patches, and another letter from the producer, and through all of that not a single rep ever mentions a final decision for AF weapons being delayed to 1.22a, let alone that it's been put off past 1.22a now. That's how sloppy this is.

Someone didn't read the last letter closely enough.

So they did mention that job-exclusive weapons would be delayed past 1.22. They just didn't tell us that they were delayed past 1.22a.

Oh! You got me, haha. Thanks for the correction! Fixing previous post.

No problem.

I do wish that they would've told us to not expect AF weapons in 1.22a. Oh well. They've been working hard as it is anyways.

I believe that this concerned the progress of Hamlet Defense only since it was delayed from Ver 1.21 where it was initially planned for. I looked through the Community Rep posts and found no mention of a delay. Yoshida clearly stated that we would be able to see the Imperial Stronghold being built but could not enter. I can only imagine that the news concerning AF weapons fell through the cracks due to Yoshida's busy travel schedule prior to E2. Happens.
