v.154 – Sword Art Online Update Highlights

Tbh because they are filler patches. A long time ago we used to get large patches, none of these minor patches/event patches. The events came along with the larger patches. Over time events have become more like chores/less event-like because they're held so often, and the large patches people care for are known as "main" patches (like Big Bang, Legends, Chaos, etc), and these smaller ones are just fillers to give us something to do because everyone is so used to the frequent events/patches.

Yeah, you used to get larger patches...once every six months.

I remember the huge periods of no patches or junk patches that both GMS and JMS got. Both games had huge content hiatuses. You guys are just so used to getting content on a monthly basis that not getting new content for a month annoys you now. You're used to it. It wasn't like that years ago.

I don't know it all as I didn't get a high enough level, but as soon as I got my familiar, it's effects was gone, but it had potential and you could summon more than one, depending on what profession you had there, they had exclusives at that too.

JMS had that change to the Potential system A LONG time ago. Like...years ago. The SAO patch didn't do that.

When you say "familiar you had before", does that mean the actual familiar, or will the cards keep the potential?
In other words, should I stockpile Jr. Boogie familiar cards for future new chars, or will they become useless if we get that revamp?

I'm pretty sure the cards keep their old potential, but it was so long ago I don't remember anymore. There's a very low chance GMS would even get this change because, as both Grey and I pointed out, this was added to JMS long ago and GMS went right past it and ignored it.
