Patch 4.2 Notes (Preliminary)

Let's not fool ourselves, most of us knew this change for the MSQ was potentially coming. They mentioned it weeks ago. We all also knew that this change was going to kill the MSQ roulette. I don't know what they are thinking. They should turn these dungeons into an instanced area with some helping NPCs, instead of forcing people to watch 40 min of cutscenes. This, and the DRK changes, makes me wonder why we have certain forums sections if better suggestions are made but they are completely ignored with no feedback whatsoever.

Regarding the gear loss upon setting it in the wardrobe. I don't mind it. I certainly have no use for level 56 gear when I'm 70 already. It helps us to clean some space from retainers/inventory turning gear that we don't use anymore in, but it's a great glamour piece. Just be mindful of the things you're converting, and keep the gear you might need for other jobs still in your retainers/inventories.

Getting rid of allied seals and reducing the price on the Elite Grand Company gear when, Squeenix?

This shoulda been done some time during Heavensward when the new hunts started giving out Centurio Seals.

I like the changes to Gold Saucer GATEs. Clearly they realized nobody ever wanted to run Vase Off, so they had to make it cheaper and more rewarding (and occur less often). Good that all the other easy/fun ones will happen more.

They finally added a toggle to turn off battle music!

Few other nice QoL changes for those of us not up to date. Just in time for me to really take advantage of them.

Best thing is: Ultimate stays sync on 345. 5 more ilvls is a small but welcome safety net for the tight edge cases and content with title stays relevant.

Pretty sure the bigger complaint is that with a 200 item limit, they're still going to be forced to remove/destroy some glamour items, or otherwise keep them in their inventory (and thus not getting to clear up that space).

"The Enable normal battle music option is available in the Sound Settings tab of the System Configuration interface.
* This does not affect FATEs, Hunts, or duties."

this was so exciting and such a downer at the same time.

Have they listed the items added in a major SB patch in the full patch notes yet? I swear it's been "We'll list them at a later date" in preliminary, then "Screw it, we don't feel like listing them all" in the final patch notes.

I think everyone saying RIP MSQ missed:

Because this will increase the time required to complete these dungeons, completion rewards and Duty Roulette bonuses for these duties have been increased.

Completion reward is currently 20 poetics

After the they sayd they will buff single target (but they nerfed it LUL)dmg to compensate for aoe loss on smn. No way they will buff mch. Well not like that "1%" nerf is a big deal.

People in this game have raised uproars over less, especially those prominent in the raid scene.

I have to say that the only thing that truly matters to me out of this update is the sucess rate of reeling in 2.0 and 3.0 fish.

This ^ It's kinda crazy how annoying some of those 2.0 fish used for 2.0 quests still are before this announcement.
