Not with Grade 2 stuff since it's outdated, the new stuff works just fine.

They removed the Savage weekly cap, the Crystarium weapon token from Refulgence (4 needed) and added the weapon augment catalyst on the token shop with NieR's raid coins, but they didn't lift the weekly Allegory cap, so what's the point? still gotta wait weeks just to get the weapon.

Yeah, I realized that after rereading. Thanks. lol

Yay! A new hairstyle that's...basically the same as a bunch of the other short hairstyles. Just why?

They never uncap capped tomes. The only exception is that the last Patch of an Expansion has a point at which the cap is expanded to 900 (with 5.56ish, I suppose).

Combine this with the fact that we might not get the missing genders and I really have to question what even was the purpose of adding these 2 races.

Because people whined and cried for years to get Viera in the game. Yoshi-P himself said he didn't want to add more races after Au'Ra, but they did anyway, and now it's just a bigger whinefest about hairstyles and hats.

and they didn't lift the coins from the puppet bunker either. SO yea there's that. I mean at least the limit on Savage has been lifted which makes sense as more folks do the Alliance versus Savage. But does this mean we are getting new gear before the end of the year and allegory is getting replaced when the next raid comes out?

That's not their excuse. That's our excuse. They have released plenty of hairstyles that clip, and the current trend is one long hairstyle per expansion. If that trend continues we will probably get it late 5.4, but more likely 5.5. The longer hairstyles are just way more difficult to implement. We have to remember that SE and FFXIV are very aesthetic (even to the point of prioritizing it over practicality); they will want a new long hairstyle to not only look good, but also function at the bare minimum, as well as the other long hairstyles in the game.

Patience.

As for the rest of the patch... meh. Which is the typical reaction I have to patches within a patch. That doesn't make it a bad patch or anything; it just has very little that interests me. I will enjoy going back to the Diadem as it is the more fun way to grind scrips. I have found out that crafting the same recipes over and over and over and over and over again is just something that I cannot do. I like to craft items like food, medicines, upgrades to gear, and glamours. I absolutely cannot stand crafting mindlessly for currency or a rank. Especially when I have other grinds going on.

I want the fucking ponytail.
