PS3 People. let us discuss our version of 2.1

Anyone discover anything cool ?

Ive only played 5 mins since the updated. But overall it is snappier. Less lag.

Anyone experiment with the new cross bars ?? How do they work ??;)

Your thoughts?

sounds are sharper.i like that

Same so far. The only combat I've participated in was the fight in unlocking Treasure maps, but there were a lot of people there doing it at the same time. I anticipated a lot of lag but was pleasantly surprised. It went smoothly.

Updating myself right now - sounds like new things to look forward to, and since I recently only just returned from a months unavoidable absence this sounds like an ideal point to see just where things are at, and to truly start making more fun times. Expect edits shortly once done! XD

L1 keeps sending me running off into nowhere now.

Yep :(

Its the one big negative I have.

Well everything is going smooth and fine mostly. The only HUGE pet peeve I have is I can't do the crystal tower fates with a crap ton of people around because of the freaking display priority -_-

Agree with this. I thought they were supposed to fix that in 2.1. Clearly not. But I got them done and had a blast in CT. Not sure if it was the ps3 or my latency but things were a bit sluggish in CT.

I thought as soon as I logged on this morning that things were better but it could have all been in my head.

Tried Focus Target but as a DRG it was wasted on me.

Didn't try the hotbars. I think Im too comfortable with how it is now. I'll probably leave as is.

I can't think of anything else.

This. I feel like the Auto-Run button is even more sensitive then it was before. Otherwise, very few complaints. Getting less lag, a quicker load time between areas and better responsiveness.

Pvp is great, Odin felt more or less the same, otherwise games good, focus target is nice

This!
Really I can't understand the display priority for FATEs. Clearly I want to see the monster/s i have to kill not 50 players around them and their battle effects c'mon!
The display priority for EVERY FATE should be :

1)Fate Objective
2)Party Members
3)Everything Else

I tried to do the CT fate, but it took too long. I would fight random mobs that spawned, and my hits registered about 5 sec after I pressed the button. Fiber optic internet plugged ethernet connection.

Yeah, I was wondering if loading wasn't a bit faster on the PS3 after the patch.

One change I really disliked though. When browsing the Market Board I can no longer press Square to initiate a search and I'm forced to manually go down the list to press the search button there. Is anyone lese having this issue? Or is there a new way to rapidly initiate a search that I didn't notice? This is a very annoying change.

I really like the ability to reduce the size of UI elements even more. Gives me some more real-estate on my screen.

Is there a way to make a macro with Focus target? I want a better way to turn it on besides pressing Square while targeting something and then scrolling down to focus target.

focus target.. OMG yes!
auto-run... OMG what is going on???
no problems w lagg in CT... OM thank G!

I was auto-running around like a retard at Pharos Sirious. Seems like when I manually move the camera my character just keeps on running like he was Forest Gump in a past life or something...

It is triangle now :)

thumbs up for;
1. focus target
2. more difference size for hub display (smallest cross bar icon is good)
3. new & better mini map

thumbs down;
1. lag in crowded area seem e same as before

While we're all here, have any of you tried to place a mark while doing PvP? It doesn't operate the same as in PvE (or maybe they've changed it altogether, I haven't done any dungeons in 2.1 yet). While selecting a target and pressing square, it just opens up the map and not the menu with the marking option :(

Thumbs down for it apparently not occurring to SE that maybe they should have fixed draw priority for FATEs required to access Crystal Tower. Good lord.

I take back every nice thing I said. My connection tonight has been horrendous. The worst I've ever experienced. It's almost unplayable. I have to wait as much as 9 seconds between my using the controls and my character taking action.

I've tried relogging, resetting my router and modem. Nothing's working.

EDIT: And the game just froze.
