Patch - any word of a festival?

While not having a festival has been nice, it offered good teamwork things to do with friends and guild members every so often while waiting for a run or just ending a small round of boredom.

Some of us still have a TON of elements left over from the Snowflake festival and with the Zodiac Pet NPC gone, they're just rotting away in our packs/banks/housemaids/chests. Any word on the return of the Zodiac Pet NPC and/or a festival with the upcoming patch?

We may not like some of the festivals but sometimes having npcs around is useful
A real sysadmin knows how to change the time.
If you make the same mistake while trying to make up for the previous one, you are doing something wrong.

As much as I'd love to say I offer consulting services, the scope of things broken is too large.

Forget festivals. Where's this level cap we were supposed to get months ago?

No other MMO I know of is so silent about new content (level cap, new zone, instance, etc) than this one.

its not that they are silent. IF it isn't ready to release they aren't going to let us know about a potential new content update before it is ready to be released. They cant give us information on it, if there is no information to give. I for one, also am glad if they are holding back content to make it as bug free as possible.

As to the comment of "supposed to get".... where did it say we were supposed to get it? Was there an announcement about it? Nope. There was an announcement about the timeline of the festivals which we received.. there was no discussion or official word of a time frame of the new content.

I think you are merely stating that you expected at the rate of old patches that you assumed there would be a patch with level increase by now. I would agree that by that standard, I had expected one by now. That does not equal that we were "supposed" to get it by now. As with most games, content is ready, when it is ready.

' patch 6.0.5 with „Snowflake Festival“ and brand new zones!'


You are wrong, there was an announcement for it, back in SEPTEMBER, yep September here is a link. Link was supposed to be updated weekly or monthly..lol that was only post, typical GF.

So I think he is correct in saying 'Supposed to"

Personally I am ok with the delay, and I would rather it delayed then they put a bugged zone in game. But no update to the news since September. That is just Fail in my opinion. Delay it untill June if you need to, but give some kind of update. One sentence saying 'it is bugged and we are working on it', something.

someone beat me to the link :P

It's good if it's delayed for bug fixes but its Feb now and there's like no info about whats been going on just want an update is all

first that is posted on the EU forum... which I don't pay attention to. That doesn't matter. I could also nitpick that "new zones" does not mean they have to "increase the cap". No where in that announcement does it say raise the cap, new instances, etc. It just says new zones. Now they haven't put any in, but they could put in a new 60-70 zone... satisfy their promise without raising the level cap.

So TECHNICALLY, I was right. The guy stated "Forget festivals. Where's this level cap we were supposed to get months ago? " Saying new zones is NOT saying level cap increase. Yes it is nitpicking, but I was still right they NEVER said Anything about a level cap raise in the plans.


So no YOU are wrong.

I am not going to get into a stupid pizzing match about right or wrong, I am older then 12. I think anyone with some common sense knows that new zones (when no new cap for last 8 months) means new cap. The zones have already been leaked, most ppl know what they are and the caps and the new instances(google is your friend).

Obviously new zones means the level cap for idk the items we already had in game and are in the database do you even look before hitting submit? lol

but seriously it really isn't that much to ask for an update after over a month of a projected goal.

Says the person who made a point to say:

"You are wrong, there was an announcement for it, back in SEPTEMBER, yep September here is a link. Link was supposed to be updated weekly or monthly..lol that was only post, typical GF. "

You say common sense.. I say ASSUMPTIONS. You can expect it, but that doesn't mean that is HAS to be. They could release a new zone and not increase the cap. It could have been argued that giving access to level 85 items means they are going to increase the level cap.. However, they released level 85 items and didn't increase the cap... now didn't they? Before they did that people would have said "Obviously, level 85 items being available means they are going to raise the cap"... up till then. So it is not "common sense"....

Cause if it was, they wouldn't have released new Pom/Shell gear before raising the cap.

Flower Festival is next up (Link to DE section, ThePit post)

ETA? no idea.

Just wow, I will not post another comment on this I think most readers knows what is going on, but My comment on you being wrong was valid.

"where did it say we were supposed to get it? Was there an announcement about it? Nope. There was an announcement about the timeline of the festivals which we received.. there was no discussion or official word of a time frame of the new content. "



I underlined the part you were 'WRONG' about.

we will see if you post another post, cause I am sure you will.

You said:

"So I think he is correct in saying 'Supposed to" "

Which makes you WRONG. Because he stated:

"Forget festivals. Where's this level cap we were supposed to get months ago?"

And you said he was correct about that. Which we have established there was NOT the case cause there was NO word about level cap increase. All my comments were made in response to that comment.


Now you are correct in the fact I was wrong cause I said "new content" when I meant level cap increase. Which I made MORE than enough of a point of in my later posts that my comments were directed at the comment about LEVEL CAP. After all the person I was responding to said LEVEL CAP. Which there was no information about LEVEL CAP. Which is what I said later, LEVEL CAP. So someone claiming "common sense" this and that... sure missed that "common sense" huh?


But you are right in the fact it is not worth arguing about. Cause there was no promise or timeframe of level cap increase. Regardless of any further interpretations, assumptions, etc. We can go back and forth and pick apart each others comments. Just not worth it. At the end of the day there was no promise of a level cap increase at any point.

So should I stop reading the US forums and go to EU to get my news there. Since you sent us a link to EU forums instead of making an official statement in our forums.

It was not an official announcement on DE/EU either. It was just a oneliner comment in a post ThePit made in a similar discussion like this thread, on DE. But since I am German and therefore understand what's being posted on DE, I might as well share it.

If you want official announcements, you will have to wait for ... well, official announcements. Which are posted globally in all languages. Exceptions like local-only stuff apply.

Ah so what. They are working on new content. Until then enjoy the fact that you do not have to gear something new quite yet and the women in your life will remain happy that they have more shopping money.

I would rather a patch was released fully working then to have bugs like the level 82 cap where no one could log in after crashing. As it happens I am seriously bored though of current content having cleared it all tons of times -.-

Except you all know that the reason there hasn't been a new zone or new level cap is almost 100% NOT because they're testing it fully. There has NEVER been a non buggy content release... to expect any future ones to be bug free is laughable.
