They have covered this quite a bit.
The stuff that is really important is taking much longer because they want to make sure they do it right.

Almost time!!!!

As has been said before in the thread, the exact details of this NM balancing has not been told yet therefore it is not known whether NMs have been nerfed or buffed. If you're thinking of leaving due to this patch at least play it first and then find out what has really happened before making that decision.

On another note it seems my patcher has gone above 10kb/s now lol. Fingers crossed, I'll be able to play tonight with the LS before I pass out.

ANYWAY i hope we get confirmation over the race of the grand LL company leader. is it a roe or is it a dusk?


i'm happy for an update btw :) means 1 step closer for the ps3 launch. yay :3

((barfira on))

Next time someone misinterprets your words, don't get defensive.
Explain what you meant to say in a way they will hopefully understand, then drop it. Even if they continue not to understand.

Now all we can do is stand around and look pretty......... I hate to say it, but its probably going to be time for me to find a new game to play soon.

You're more than likely just wanting content additions, they have to also fix the game or else they would be adding tons and tons of content.

Again they didn't say HOW mobs were adjusted, doesn't mean easier and doesn't mean harder either just the fact that something changed and no one knows for sure atm As for important updates sounds like you're just complaining for the sake of complaining, been stated multiple times we arent getting huge content till they do alot of the smaller fixes and revamp battle system which they are working on. Just cause something isn't released the current patch doesn't mean they aren't working on other things(which in this case they are and this has been revealed countless times before, old info). If you're expecting a miracle patch or anyone else for that matter should just leave and check back in 6 months when alot of bigger changes will be out by then and then some^^ instead of whining on top of all the other whiners! LoL

I understand what you are saying, but adding buffs to party's? I mean come on the game was already easy and they just made it easier. Lowering the party size from 15 to 8 without the addition of an alliance? Adjusting the size of skill animations? Those changes seem rather trivial and unimportant. I should say "the lack there of" as well, I mean to release info on companies and then not even tell you what they are? The same could be said with the gear they released, I mean sure tell us that you released new gear but completely leave out what it is?

So so sooooooooo disappointed.

all i said was don;t expect any. never said that none will be in.
if these quests have cs great, never said there wasn't. If there arnt, great again as i did say not expect them so don;t blow up over it.

Kilta, it doesn't matter what you posted. Those people would have hated on you anyway because they are just hateful people. Don't feed the trolls :). Ignore the post (or the person entirely), and move on.

I need to work on doing that myself..

And to those upset with anything in this patch... just quit already, you will never be happy with any patch info that comes out.

Edit: besides "FFXIV has now been renamed FFXI-2!"

awwww thats so sweet :lalafell huggies your leg: :3

::does the lalafell panic dance:: :3

Even then, it hasn't been so much. The last two horizon behests I was in got to 15 members right at the :05 mark. The two nanawa ones I did today only had 7-8 members. Maybe in Broken Water, they'll still be high, but even then with the behests being every 30 min, I think it will be okay.

sup all, not sure if im posting in the correct place but...i installed this patch an now i cant start the game...restarted pc and nothing....any ideas?


thanks in advace.

So who's being the assumptious little troll now? I mean you barely even know me yet you claim I will never be happy with the patches. I have fairly valid reasons to be unhappy about the updates.

Again changes like the buff and pt size adjustments are prerequisites for changes further down the road. Yes the games too easy atm but they don't care cause these will coincide with the overhaul happening down the road NOT with what the state of the game is at now. It's the same thing with the mp refresh and other such changes thus far! Or would you prefer one huge patch every 3-4 months then fixes rather than little content bits sprinkled every 2 weeks or so? I choose the latter personally >.>

Nah, I call anyone that comes in and entices rude comments and turns things into flame fests a troll. Like, taking one simple comment and replying with something like "OMG you idiot STFU get out of here". I call those people trolls, and shouldn't be replied to.

This patch has a ton of good things in it. We will have to see what they did with NM's by going at them with a full party.

It's a good patch.^^

Not a great one, but I wasn't expecting a great one. A great one will come when battle changes are made and new content is added. But there's a lot of little things that needed to be made better, which also do not take as much time.

The change to 8 max party is a forerunner to the battle changes, so that alone makes me excited.

So please point out where I acted like anywhere even close to that? I am against some of the changes SE did and automatically I am labeled as a troll? Sounds to me like your pointing the fingers in all the wrong directions.

Oops I read that someone else said it I retract my statement and will delete it. sorry about that.

I never mentioned any names ya know.

Sigh.

Will everyone please take a deep breath and calm down? Walk away if you have to?

It's easy to get mad and namecall. It takes more maturity to answer calmly.

Mama always said it takes two to fight.

For fucks sake, I just read this entire thread and half of it just consisted of Kilta repeating herself over and over. Oh my god.

Some changes are for the better, some other changes... I wonder why they did it (i.e. [dev1047] Battle music now cuts in and out, rather than fading in and out.)
I'm still not sure where we are heading with these changes, but generally, it looks ok. I'll see after playing a while how it feels.

Thank you for the patch 1.17 :o

Ya the music no longer fading is a step back, along with bigger UI health bars and such, rly odd indeed. Some people play on low resolutions too so UI alrdy takes up a huge space xD Will be worse now for them :(

They should make a KFC quest. In order to unlock chocobo you have to blow up a KFC.

I admit I was a little confused on that one. I figured I'd wait to hear it before forming an opinion.

Awesome, the new content will keep me busy for a week :D

personally, i didnt like the music fading out, bc i was unsure if i was still in combat (some mob aggroed me i didnt see, or the mob i was killing had a lil tiny bit of life left that i didnt see while i was looking for the next one etc)

but thats just personal preference i guess

but i like the new changes, i feel like by summer we are going to be playing a vastly different game then the one we are playing now and im gettin a lil excited

Hehe I know what you mean, and these new sidequests are loads better so far in writing and everything else then the first batch thankfully^^ Expected as much naturally but this patch as a whole is a pretty nice lil update from what I seen so far... Now if only they'd let us turn our own name off floating above our heads (while keeping others on!) I'd be happy with current UI options hehe xD

So, after 5 mins of killing NMs, we realize that the patch did nothing, again. NMs drop trash, repop in 1-2 mins, drop more trash and are soloable by anyone. The other shit doesn't matter either. The PT buff shoulda been an exp bonus to encourage PTing or something. The teams just aren't realizing what's important. I'm off to play other games again... get your shit together, SE.
