Thread: So about the next patch (1.17)

If you get into the habit of thinking that the devs are keeping things secret for teasers and surprises, you have a series of disappointments ahead of you. They always lead with their biggest gun. Always have. Always will.

1.17 will be the easter event, essentially. They lead with their biggest gun, and if that's the only big gun they talk about, that's the only gun that'll be used.

Why are they quiet about companies?

Because they probably don't even have their design hammered out yet, let alone have them almost ready for release. The reason you don't know what companies even are is because they don't either.

Ouch, negative nancy over here. They said that companies were ready before 1.16 but they wouldn't have much quests to do. That's why people think that they may come out in 1.17.

They should seriously consider not doing the easter egg sideshow and instead focus on THE ACTUAL GAME.

You know that the people who work on the battle fixes aren't the people who work on instanced dungeons aren't the people who work on battle animations aren't the people who work on event quests aren't the people who work on enemy designs etc...

One does not negate the other as the team as a whole is split up into many groups.

Those types of comments have been replied to with this in every other thread on this forum. I wouldn't even reply to them anymore

They didn't say companies were ready. They used words with escape hatches in them to buy more time. The anticipation of companies has bought them a month of players tolerating dead space. When companies don't come out this month to a significant degree, they know defenders will argue that SE never said they were ready for them, and the whole thing will blow over.

It's a pump fake, and it worked. You stopped tackling.

They know they can probably get away with stalling another month of real content with an Easter event. So that's what they did.

Don't expect companies this month.

I don't expect companies this month, but that doesn't negate the fact that Yoshi himself said in one of his letters from the producer, that companies would be ready to roll out by March but they wouldn't have much to do in them. (I thinks it's the second or third letter I don't remember)
