Your Ups and Downs as of Patch 1.19

Good:

* Chocobos!!! <3 , some more colors. (or other mount variants be cool too)
* New Recipes!
* Materia!
* Company leves!
* Monster links, awesome for PL ! lol

Bad, very bad:

* Casting Magic feels sluggish now, idk feels like some annoying delay. (please fix this)
* Some equip (old gear) macros dont work anymore.... wtf!?
* Company leves "Seals" reward too crappy amount!
* That the option to change "Company" isnt availeable.
-200 * WTF happend to all the sheeps? where do i farm Karkaul fleece now?? (Did yoiu delete all sheeps on server?)

most the good had been mention so I ll mention about bad exp, easy that way

bad:

Companies seal reward is to low, for DoW and for DoH and DoL
chain exp is simply to much, ppl can group and get lvl up to quick which make the low lvl NM, dungeon, Gear are useless
no various chose of low and mid grade armor neither the high lvl one
dyes is limit to some recipe and not all of them


note: out of those bad thing, I am actually enjoy this patch, even I lost 90% of my gear simply cos I cant use em due to lvl restrist and have to remake most of thing, but I am enjoy it. The market is now like the market when the game first start, if any of you think the price if to much please help me do 2 thing on all server:

1.dont buy or make any "Dated" gear
2. set shop with the new recipe and take back the control of the market or the only player that suffer are DoW and DoM and not us DoH and DoL

so far.

good:

*new quests with tons of content.

*the strongholds with the bosses inside.

*chocobo's and airships.

*the getting more involved with the grand companies.

*the linking and chains for party

*spirit bonding gear

*the vast majority of the patch

bad:

*the new recipes seem to have scaled down crafting too far.

*the materia system. i like the system, but would prefer it to be a synth like creating finished products. if i help someone else i want my skill to determine success and not the luck of hitting start.

*the old gear being made obsolete. if the new recipe makes the same item as the old recipe and the new one can attach materia to it the old one should be able to do so also.

*the way people are exploiting the power leveling with links. leves were removed as a focal point for the super fast leveling and now without fatigue the new system actually gets more sp per hour dragging someone behind you.

*rewards for grand company quests are tiny.

had to snip it out, gl with that one
if you find any new jewellery recipe,let me know.
if you find any control gloves mid & highlvl range, let me know
if you find any .... this list can go on, certain items are for certain classes now,not all. same as lvl,same as missing recipes,way to many to list.. it doesn't work that way,i have materia items,but i cannot replace all items with other gear,else i have no idea how to craft with 50 less control/craftm./magic craftm,just by replacing a +18 mcr.item,to a
+10 hp version (the updated) as example. kinda useless nonrelated changes.

Good:

Choco's and other lore content including Ifrit!

Bad:

Gameplay is now extremely clunky due to no queuing along with sounds and log ability issues also preventing smooth spell casting!

Respawn timers on alot of mobs are below 30 seconds, this is a artificial and lazy way to increase difficulty... the new strongholds are pathetic at best.

Still no Looting roll system or seperate trade windows for materia, so have to make sure the equipment and precious materia you hand over to someone to attach is completely trustworthy otherwise your outta luck for the new system!

Each craft can only attack materia to their respected equipment they make... finding trustworthy people to hand stuff over too for every single craft is annoying at best.

The still loner/LS only based community ... people's anti-socialism in this game never ceases to amaze me, even with a patch this big and all the group activity involved.
