Holy crap am I reading that right? A 25 hour maintenance? And people thought the 12 hour one last patch was too long lol.

Why do they need to be so secretive on how to obtain the tank mounts? It sounds like it's based off of how much end game tanking you did pre patch but they won't say how they are actually obtained. I hate tanking but really want that bear mount.

Who said anything about end-game? The Unicorn is level 30, why should this be different and only available to hardcore end-gamers?

Unless they've logged every instance every character has done on ever class they can't know that .. and I cannot believe they've been logging that detail, except for statistical purposes in which case I doubt they'd keep the detailed records needed to do what you suggest.

Thank you :)

I read the patch news twice but have no clue about how it is going to work with the additional retainers.

When I send them on tour to find something, are my items for sales still up while they are gone or do they need to be "home" to keep my sales up on the market board?

When I equip them, can I use the same items my combat classes or DOH/DOL do? Or do they need their own equipment?

I fully expected this, so did most of my FC, but you're right. There will be tears-a-plenty.

What I'm confused about is the way they are wording the DF for Coil 1-5. Am I reading this right? You can't enter Coil through DF without already having an 8-man party for 2 weeks? And then you can enter Solo after 2 weeks are up? Or do they mean party composition, such as you need to have the 2/2/4 like with CT?

Clarification, can you provide it?!

They specifically said in the patch notes that if your retainer is out on a venture then you will still be able to sell your MB items and access your retainer with its full list of functions from Summoning Bell. Not sure about the equipment one...

Have they stated how you get those unicorn mounts?

Extreme Mode Primals. ( Not Just Garuda)

Not that I saw, but each one looks to be based on a primal. So, I'm assuming they are rewards for defeating the primals. But, which ones? Extreme I'm guessing.

Awww why primal fights its like they are runing out of ideas i hate primal fights. So does that mean that once completed everyone gets one?

Doesn't sound like it'll be as easy to obtain as Unicorn but who knows.

A31: We’ll be implementing special mounts for both warrior and paladin. This will be to address the lack of tanks, but these mounts will also be implemented as a thank you to the players currently playing as tanks.*

From dualshockers article

Quote:

---

...two special mounts have been implemented for tanks that take part in end game content. They are a bear mount for warriors and a white lion for paladins.

I feel like you are EXACTLY the kind of person they mention that they don't want to get the mount.. It says explicity that it should be for people who love tanking and have worked hard at it. Frankly I hope it is a questline that involves beating coil turns 1-5 as a tank or something else difficult. This was a mount that was added specifically to get more people into tanking and reward those who love it. Not mount collectors

I'm curious how many people will suddenly go from:
"Monday is the ONLY day of the week that I have time to play, so thats why I cap+coil on Monday" to "Tuesday is the ONLY day of the week that I have time to play, so thats why I cap+coil on Tuesday".

Elemental shards will no longer be received.

Instead getting terrible lag and "reserving instance" on mondays, we will have them on tuesday.... yep, good fix.

It's another time too. In germany it switched from 4.p.m. (where every1 is comming home or is home already) to 9a.m. (where most people are at work). Maybe it's similar in other timezones (switch from primetime to another time).
So today it is like: reset--->every1 starts instantly doing coil+cap.
with the new time it'll be: reset---->some people will start doing cap+coil and some hours later the rest will follow. So the server stress will split.

Nope they are "rare" drops like Odin looking mount that's currently in Garuda EX.

I want those horse mounts! Damn those extreme primals!!! :( It better not have a low drop rate. I have bad enough luck on drops as it is.
And I'm excited about retainer ventures.
And I was excited about gardening, but it seems only people in a FC with a house can garden so that's fcked up.
Anyways I'm excited about the patch.

Yep, same here. I live in spain, so now i can start doing coil at 4pm on mondays, just after i come back from work, so it's perfect to find "good pugs" parties... Now it will reset on tuesdays at 9am, so.... i guess i'll lose a few "good pugs" parties. But hell, it will be for Coil T6-T9 and i need to kill Twintania first, so is not a big deal. I guess at 4 p.m. will reduce the lag... a bit

Im sorry. A bear mount?
As in I can ride a bear into battle?
I can own and ride a bear?

Well if you insist.

I could BEARly believe it! It's almost unBEARable!

I wonder if, since it's a tank mount, does it have its own magic BEARier?

OK I'm done now..

So.... what's the point of the reset time move? :/ Besides some timezone that get a prime to non-prime change, it's still basically every reset in the game at the same time. Should've split up 2nd Coil and the tomestone cap. For example, in Central time zone, it's at 10AM now and will be 3AM after patch...

it cometh.

Finally I can burn up Company seals for useful purposes, though Coke and Peacock Ore may go way down in price as new armor is introduced. Hopefully the new recipes will still use the former Tomestone items in some way to keep them relevant.

I like that the Lockout in Coil 1 is being removed so people can get other FC members caught up. Making High Voltage Esunable is a needed adjustment. Even the best groups can get unlucky and let a HV through, making a run needlessly annoying.

On the new EX Primal mounts, does anyone else see that picture and think Four Horsemen? Is that some kind of warning sign?

I'm sad there's still no sign of any of the AF2 concepts they showed 4 months ago making it into the actual game yet.

Aw, don't be /comfort

I love the concept art for AF2 gear but we're getting a ton of new gear. AF2 along with crafted and new Allagan at this point would just be overkill, I think. At least till AF2 is introduced we'll have enough time to enjoy the brand new 2.2 stuff.

I want that lion now. sounds like it'll be here 2.2.

I may just need to get MRD/WAR now for a bear.

BEAR ME TO VICTORY

Well that's a horse of a different color! (anyone make that poor joke already?)

I can't decide if this is going overboard or not... But one thing I do know is..I'm a whore for mounts and I gotta have em! I GOTTA HAVE EM!!!!
