That's it?
That...is going to take TWELVE bloody hours?
O-M-G
When are we getting new areas to play in, new quests, new content (not revamped).
Other competitors have all that coming out every 6-8 weeks for crying out loud. Not with an expansion but with regular new content patches. And they do it within 3 hours.

Which is why I said slightly pissed off. It's my fault, while I did at least briefly look at the news, though I missed the "all worlds maintenance February 19th", so don't accuse me of not doing research (even if I hardly did any). Usually if there's a maintenance on a game, it's not during NA's prime time (yes I understand this is a Japanese game, but not everyone is used to playing Japanese games and their time zones), nor do patches run for almost 12 hours. If you're expecting me or someone else to be THAT cautious about their money and their time, and to consider whether the game is even available to play when 99% of the time it should be playable to begin with, then I feel sorry for you and anyone who is that cautious, because that's a near paranoia level of caution.

Nah, probably 1 maybe 2 at the most, PS4 stuff another hour or so, the rest of the time is coffee and pizza. They need the outlets for the coffee machines and karaoke boxes, you know?

At the following time, we will be performing maintenance on all Worlds in order to implement patch 2.16 as well as support for the PlayStation®4 version of FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn. During this period, FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn will be unavailable.

hmmm... considering the PS4 version is 36GB (Unpacked and installed)? and that's just the BETA (without access to the higher level content (content past Ifrit Story and Halatali?)

the Patch Notes Link has been posted, but it seems the link is broken. lol

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...91ba3f787720f1 here's the NA official Patch Notes.

Do want rings! I have a reason to complete my Hunting Log on my Summoner now...though I will be disappointed in losing the EXP since I already capped 50.

The changed to recruitment are really cool and I love the new Paragon item! I'd love to use it with Glamour in 2.2. The Wish list was a cute add on and unexpected. New Marking systems should be helpful in larger groups and for Healer and DPS placement in smaller groups or even to show routes the Tank should take while tanking. I'd say the 2.16 updates are cute and effective.

That's a heck of a lot of notes, but well worth reading through.

From everything they said, I've gotta say, I love the new rings they've added for completing the Hunting Log and Unique Recipe achievements, as well as Dhorme Chimera and Hydra being added to the Duty Finder. The ability to keep the Sic or Obey stances active outside of battle without them resetting is fantastic, and I'm curious to see how the new AoE indicators work out. But, to be honest, the best addition: being able to refresh the Party Finder! I'm glad they added that sooner rather than later, haha! Oh, and of course, the way weather affects your character is great--I can't wait to see if they add anything else later, like snow or sand sticking to your character during a blizzard or sandstorm, or if their skin will have a sheen from sweat during a heat wave. Gotta love those little touches =P

Bunch of SMN and SCH just got pretty happy -

"The Sic and Obey pet commands can now be activated without a target present. Furthermore, pets will remain set to either command even when re-summoned."

Waymarking = instant love. "Please - go stand THERE. Yeah, that's where we want you to tank the boss!"

But...I've already completed "BoaL:Gladiator" - I wonder if this means, the next time I log in that ring will be delivered by EPS?
