The following change has been made to Frontline:

- All players queued for Frontline when matchmaking completes will be sent to Frontline, regardless of if players chose “Abandon” or no option at all at the last moment.

Due to this change, it is possible that Frontline campaigns will not start with full parties.
In these cases, we ask that party leaders please use the “Add Member” feature.
* We plan to implement a feature next week that will automatically add members for in-progress Frontline campaigns.

Also, to make registering for Frontline smoother, we ask that players consider using the “Join Party in Progress” option in the Duty Finder.


The following issues have been addressed:

- Before Frontline matchmaking completes the text “A party member has withdrawn from the duty. Finding new member.” would appear.
- The “Desynthesize” action may cause the server to crash.
- In “Syrcus Tower” Amon would only use auto-attack.
- (PlayStation®3 version only) The “Desynthesize” action would not work and cause the game client to become unresponsive.
- (PlayStation®4 version only) In certain instanced content battle music would not loop properly.

- Attempting to change your personal chocobo’s name with a chocobokeep would display an error message in Japanese if your personal chocobo is set to a chocobo stable.

*In order for even more players to be able to participate in elite mark battles, the following adjustments have been made. Please note that further adjustments may be made once congestion has been eased.

The following adjustments have been made to “The Hunt”:
- Elite marks maximum HP has been increased.
Rank B maximum HP has been raised from solo to light party level, Rank A maximum HP has been raised from light party to full party level.
Although the Rank S maximum HP level was already intended for multiple parties, we have further raised the necessary number to require even more parties.
Similar to Odin and Behemoth, because raising the maximum HP of Rank S means stressed server loads due to the concentration of players, we plan to make ongoing adjustments as we watch the server situation.
- As the elite marks HP is increased, the amount of contribution points in which affects the reward after defeating will be eased.
- S rank elite marks will have top display priority.
Because the elite marks maximum HP have been changed to reflect the party numbers required, we are also looking into adjusting the amount from the “Regular mark bills” and “Elite mark bills” reward. We will continue to make careful content adjustments as we monitor player trends and server stress loads.

*The following feature has been added to improve Frontline matchmaking.

For Frontline only, the following change has been made:
- Party members will be added automatically if required once duty has commenced.
Automatic member addition will take place upon the start of battle (when the gates open).
When registering for a Frontline campaign we recommend checking “Join Party in Progress,” which will make the matchmaking process smoother, and ask players to consider choosing this option whenever possible.

The following changes have been made to chat mode.
- When chat mode is switched to “Linkshell” during the “Temporarily switch chat mode to linkshell” operation, it will now always switch to an active linkshell.
*There will be no switch if chat mode is already set to any linkshell.
- In order to address an issue existing from before the implementation of patch 2.3, the shortcut command for temporarily switching chat mode to linkshell (Initial setting: ALT+L) has been changed to always choose an active linkshell as the base selection.

The following issues have been addressed:
- In The Striking Tree (Hard) and The Striking Tree (Extreme) the damage taken by pets was abnormally low.
- In Syrcus Tower wherein the ground would not illuminate when charging the matter field generator.
- Players were unable to use pet actions when a pet was casting a spell.
- Controls did not function properly when taking damage while in the process of trading event items to NPCs during a quest or FATE.
- Certain items would become inaccessible when players used the Sort subcommand with the Desynthesis window open.
- The game client would become unresponsive when players enlisted in a free company that had not purchased housing used the View Room Details command in another player's estate.
- Players were withdrawn from a Duty when selecting Commence at the same time another player selected Withdraw.
- Using the ALT+L or ALT+Shift+L to cycle forward or backward would start from the first linkshell instead of the last selected linkshell when the chat mode was not set to linkshell.

- The UI would occasionally blink when facing the camera toward a large crowd.
- The text options More Items (DoH) and More Items (DoL) were reversed when talking to the NPC Talan.
- In Syrcus Tower certain treasure chests did not display properly.
- In The Striking Tree (Hard) the weather text displayed when hovering the cursor over the weather icon was in Japanese.

The following issue has been addressed.

• Taking an item from or putting an item into a company chest causes the server to crash.

Additionally, we have confirmed that some items that were moved into/out of company chests from Aug. 19, 2014 9:30 (GMT) onward may have become lost. We are currently in the process of restoring the lost items, but because this will take some time, as well as to prevent data mismatching, company chests will be temporarily locked until the item restoration process is over.

We are sorry, and ask for your patience until the item restoration process is concluded.

The estimated date is Aug. 20, 2014.
* The completion date may be subject to change.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.

We have completed restoration of the lost items, and as such have unlocked company chests.

We apologise for any inconvenience this may have caused, and we thank you for your patience and understanding.
