3.2 Patch Notes

My poor nocturnal shield xD
Lucky I got to rank 40 at least

Love that Orchestrion List. I was hoping for a music setting in housing, and we not only get it, but get it with a log designed for collectors, showing what music we have and which pieces we don't (along with how to get them). :D

I am pleasantly surprised that the Orchestrion is available at the inn

I am also happy with the new battle stance

I was expecting its for lv15+ so newbies can actually practice! o.O

Why we get a DPS-Test at lv60?
The game starts being merciless at Brullvolx! If not enough DPS on final boss. There will be to many green puddle or healers MP will run out.

In that case I wont lower the amount of people that dont know how to use there skills >.>
..when entering a dungeon roulete; I will still get drg's not using that Atk to get 15% more dmg, and just doing the 3 hit combo for example =.=

so you can find out the 5% from fist of fire is bigger then you think, and saying otherwise makes you bad.

dungeon set and unique

http://www.siliconera.com/wordpress/...07_thumb11.jpg

So SE took an opportunity to make Shuffle "Redraw" unique and amazing.... and instead just made it so you can't draw the same card again.... Yay? Then buffed Ewer an Spire which still don't matter..... SO good job... I guess... (if you ever think those cards will be amazing SE, ask a BRD or MCH how often outside of savage they use Ewer/Spire.... Spoilers, the answer is 1% if you're team is awful)

Then MCH.... We see you'r having issues so lets buff your Hypercharge. SWEET! So if they are going to buff it they gotta buff the duration or CD RIGHT?! +5 more seconds.... nothing done to CD... BUT GAUSS ROUND!.... +20 DPS..... riiiigggghhhhttttt. So basically you guys did nothing to improve MCH, got it. TY for leaving my main in the dark still, really appreciate it.

Well at least they saw potential in Diadem, and said they would give it more rules and adjust it to become a more interesting event, so thats awesome!.... Right? Time Limit Nerf, now when you blow 5-10mins on people trying to get currents, then 3-5 mins farming mobs for star tracks.... you'll have essentially enough tim for 1-2 Star Mobs..... WOW I CAN'T WAIT!.... Not only did you guys do NOTHING to define this system, you made it discouraging to go into HM due to time limits. You couldn't of put in a NM Tier Spawn method where track mobs drop a Key Item that you can use to pop a chain of NMs... ANYTHING MORE THEN JUST KILL MOBS LOTS!? Seriously you guys could of done ANYTHING, and instead, insignificantly tweaked it. I maybe have hope that the changes to star mob spawn conditions will save this system for me, but even then... NOTHING mentioned about ~i230 gear being added? Still bing i210? Waita kill off a system that is a patch old. Now it's worthless to do HM, you might as well farm hard in Easy/Normal to farm materia....

I don't get what you guys are thinking AT ALL anymore. You get a system that finally breaks away from the garbage tome treadmill trash, and 1 set of raid gear from 1 type of raid content that arguably isn't even raid but final dungeon boss fights..... And completely make it irrelevent. Guys wake up, or give the job to someone else, because your community is getting bled out from inconsiderate changes or just actions of doing NOTHING to improve the game.

Don't even get me started on the worthless Training Dummy system, that literally gives you no idea how to improve your rotation AT ALL, and simply says "Pass/Fail" but doesn't even give you an idea if you're extremely optimal, above average, passable... any of that. Doesn't even give you a number and is simply a gesture of saying "See we tried to give you guys something for measuring DPS..." which does nothing and still won't replace player means of measuring DPS and excluding players. Instead of embracing what is already happening, you chose a middle of the road stance that won't be used by raiders anyway when there are better tools to measure more accurately.

Here's to hoping that Sephirot, MSQ, Dungeons, Midas, and the Treadmill won't get boring in 1 month, and if not.... Guess I'll hope SE gets their heads on straight for 3.25/3.3.

If I remember it right, that you can get the same card again with Shuffle was the only complain about it.

Thank you

You are missing the whole point of a joke reference. The term they chose to use for this system is "Mentor." Leaving it as Senpai would simply be them stealing a meme with no real self-awareness. So the achievement becomes a play on words. It's like, "Dragoon Age" being a mock shout out for the game series, "Dragon Age." If they had just left it as is, well, it wouldn't work.

Basically, you're not getting the joke.

Looks like they forgot to extend the duration of Shroud of Saints. Woops.

Heh WHM really doesn't need any buffs :P IMO, WHM/SCH still > AST even after these changes.

Nope here is an example of the complaint is that you get 30s to draw a card, say you roll a Spire, obviously R.R. get AoE. Wait 30s Now you roll again, you get a spear.... meh, roll again, Bole... either drop it or spread it. Wait another 30s, you roll a ewer, obviously you re-roll it, get a spear.... So you eat it because ultimately you want that balance card, given that spear is best for tanks to get their non-GCD cast times down. So you wait another 30s, get Ewer..... reroll it, get an arrow.... now at this point that you've wasted 2 mins of content to do what makes your class unique and why you get a nerf to the amount of healing spells you get in your kit, you can either eat the arrow and hold out for a balance, or just accept your losses, dispense out an arrow and hope people like that GCDs are coming up faster....

That sucks. There are so many other RNG based drawing methods that are far better then this one, and still maintain RNG but keep it useful. If we look at League of Legends, Twisted Fate has a roll system where it cycles through the cards and it is up to the player to reinitialize the card select to choose a card. This way it's still RNG, but it also has a control that the player can be skilled enough to utilize and greatly benefit the party.... Instead.... lets just make it so that the cards can't be redrawn a 2nd time.... waita play it safe and worthless SE, because AST will still continue to be the healer not brought to content because the buffs still don't matter nor can be controlled enough to be useful to a raid.... NICE!

Glad i didn't level my pvp rank free pvp gear :D

And half the players in the game couldn't pass the Novice Hall.

Also best thing about this is:
WANDERER'S MINUET ANIMATION CHANGE
GATHERING ONCE DUTY POPS
hell yeah

So is it confirmed that there is no changes to the relic parts such as Crystal grinding or the last part with the HQ items?

It's way too soon to be nerfing the relic steps. It's only been 2 to 3 months since the Anima were introduced. If the 2.0 relics are anything to go by, we'll get new relic steps every 4 months or so followed by nerfs.

Reasonable or not, I just want Holy to be back to its original strength before the last two nerfs ._.

"Its", and as long as people keep trying to speed run with AOE spamming, Holy and Flare will never go back to the way they used to be.

Hell will freeze over before they do that, just like BRD/MCH wish for the Skill Speed Cap to be removed so they can be super broken. Holy was broken beyond all reasoning to where you didn't even need DPS, just a tank to hold, and a WHM to spam Holy.... And probably not even the tank lol.

Haha, I do know the difference between the two, but now and then typos happen. You should see when I replace full words with something completely random that popped into mind. Good fun!

I like the name Shuffle more than Redraw regardless of effects xD
I notice there is a Zu whistle or something...I assume that's not one of the two new ex primal mounts but an actual Zu (Pharos Sirius) mount?

COOL!

The new hairs don't seem to be gold saucer hairs, I couldn't determine whether the new emotes were MGP rewards too...I hope not, there is too much to buy already >.<

Nero Tol Scaeva minion is the only confirmed MGP item at the moment, wouldn't surprise me if the new hairstyles were additions to one of the MGP hairstyle books that were put in previously though.

thats why you take your time lol

^^ Even then, as someone that ONLY did Roulettes/Beastment Tribe/Occasional Hunts.... For all that time investment, in one patch, to essentially now be "Glam-Worthy" and in some cases (looking at you MCH Gun Abomination that not even a mother could love) not even that. Well... guess it was cool to use it til I got my Thordan EX Gun, and now it will gather dust til 3.25... because 14 devs still don't know how to make new content and gear while maintaining gear to be relevant later on in a expansion.... Please look to 11, 14 devs, you guys don't understand how MMORPG gear works.... The 11 Devs did.

Is haircut no. 3 for both genders or do I really have to change to a male? =_=

So.... Unidentified ore and seeds will still cost 680 esoteric now ?

ugh.. im dissapointed

Because Esoterics drop as much as law did ..so there isn't a reason to change it.

...no Matoya's theme for the Orchestrion?

The patch notes don't list the classes for specific items and they never have, outside of new weapons. The weapons have classes listed because "Rogue's Arms" is the actual name of the type of the item (just like your body armor says "Body" on it, all of your weapons have "[class name]'s Arm").

The Allagan gear will most likely have the exact classes they did originally (so the Allagan Striking set will have NIN on it, and so on).

I still don't have the minions from ST & WoD. I'd gladly farm them again, and that weekly quest, to get them.

Because it is an English popculture reference and they like to use those (see previous comments about references to random TV series). However, like this it's, pardon my language, half-arsed. Either don't make it at all or make it proper =x

Anyway, actually looking forward to the patch, not having any other beef :)

I'm aware of the bad joke they are trying to make. Alas, it fails because the original is a joke already. A joke of a joke...well, let's not go further into this. Sorry you missed my point <3

I find it sad that the patch notes had so much to them, but the most talked about thing in this thread is "senpai"

It's a male only haircut, the gender neutral hair this time around is; (according to all the promotional screenshots)

http://i.imgur.com/B7UhQEr.jpg

It has a secret effect of adding +1000 hotness to male Highlander.

Notice me, senpai, notice me!

The MCH changes are pretty swell and I'm happy with them. That SMN buff makes me tempted to switch back to my old job though...

I was interested in the Mentor System before but seeing it in more detail makes it appealing to me. Kinda bummed I'll have to level my tank to 60 to use it, but y'know it'll be good motivation to learn something new!

Seems like a solid patch with only a few minor issues so far. Pretty nice.

You've got to love some of the endgamers in this thread. They'll find a cloud in every silver lining before any of us get the chance to look up.

I think you missed the hundreds of other jokes of jokes that the NA Localization team has snuck in over the past few years. Just as one example (off the top of my head—but there are others), there's a FATE in Southern Thanalan with the title "Call Me Mayhaps," from that whole "Call Me Maybe" song that went viral on the 'net awhile back. Call Me Maybe was already a joke in and of itself, but they often reflavor the joke in a small way to make it fit the game as a whole—so instead of using Senpai, they use Mentor, because it's the "in-game" version of a Senpai. That's pretty much just standard operating procedure for them at this point.

But honestly, a number of players probably wouldn't even know what Senpai meant—anime has a pretty niche audience these days in the States.

Well I assume we will find out on patch release day...still no reason to keep it class locked at this point though tbh lol ...it's only used for glamour now anyway.
