Letter from the Producer VII

[Spuffin]

Soooo instead of fixing the game, the devs wasted all their time sprewing up a seasonal event?

That's all I have to say. (But it's the honest truth)

My god, you guys are just so willfully ignorant, it's amazing.

He mentioned that there will be a seasonal event in the patch... he did not say that that is all that would be in the patch. 1.17 patch is carrying battle changes, instanced dungeon, and a "slew of other changes". He's just said that 70% of it will be released in 1.17 and 30% in 1.17a. And he implied that 1.17a would be the dungeon. We can expect the bulk of 1.17 in the first half.

You might want to reread what he wrote...

omg I'm so excited! (squirt)

[Corrderio]

I really need to ask.

Does anyone here really care about seasonal events with the current state the game is in?

No.

And also he said that patches 1.17 and 1.17a are in PREPARATION for High/mid level dungeons... so it really looks like no content still? (besides seasonal event...)

I think this is what bums me out the most. I was hoping we'd at least start to see a shift in the game's battle mechanics starting with something simple like the 8 person limit for PTs/NM adjustments or class changes to make them more unique.

Instead I'm sure Ul'Dah will be a spam fest with the typical "TRADING "X" EGG FOR "Y" EGG".

Well, considering you need battle/class changes before you implement an end game instanced event, I'd expect not. I actually won't expect the dungeons to be put in till all of these changes are made and balanced. So... according to a previous letter, the battle and class changes span over two months of patches. Then it'll be implemented.

That's what I said but more structured and polite >.> but I do concur.

Let me turn this into a hyperbole.
