2.15 Patch discussion

I just wanted to make a discussion post for us to talk about the patch that is coming out, Are they getting new hair styles?:)

I hope it's bugged and let us loot whatever we want in the Crystal Tower.

I just noticed this http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...ba39b67875a7af

The aesthetician will now offer additional face paint options.

---

Hope it's a typo and that it would give us more options to change face related stuff from aesthetician (eye/face type, etc)

^^ no more double casters for pvp, glad melees have a role now. I'm hoping they increased the solo queue exp and mark bonus by a lot..

edit: They didn't really nerf summoners. Miasma is still great. -40% heavy is the main reason I use it, really easy to kite people.

There's nothing about a third retainer in there. *cries*

"In order to prevent RMT abuse, bronze beetles in the Wanderer's Palace will no longer yield gil."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!? That was my favorite thing about Wanderer's Palace, and they just took it away D:<

Mind you, its not like I farm Wanderer nonstop but I always went to full all the beetles cause lets face it, EVERYONE could use the extra gil...

I wonder how RMT would abuse the beetles. It's not like they can be respawned again and again...can they? I personally kill the beetles for spiritbonding EXP.

Zone in, kill Tonberry, kill birds, kill beetles, zone out, zone in.... I guess.

Must be easy to bot that.

Since beetles are relatively easy to kill and there's nothing nearby to kill you, I would assume bots would teleport to each spawn point, AoE them down, then abandon the duty and queue again with another bot replacing the penalized one.

The difficulty of Thornmarch has been decreased. lmao really?! it was already 10000000000000000000000000000000000000000x easier than 1.0, now its even easier? jesus how easy do you people want this game.

This. That fight is already WAY too easy. There's not much strat to it besides deciding on a kill order. I only do because it has awesome music and the weapons are crazy adorable.

I guess because it's part of the story and would be holding a few people back for the next story quest coming in the future. Hopefully they add an extreme mode to Mog in 2.2 so it's a far more interesting fight.

start WP

kill all of the beetles in the first part, leave and re-enter.

@espon: it's already been confirmed. it wasn't that hard, i agree....the only reason i die in that fight is because it is...so...adorable...

Yeah I didn't see anything about it either...hmm well so much for having some breathing room with inventory space.

ya no even extreme mog wont be as hard as this mode, just like how ifrit ex is a god damn joke compared to 1.0.

The other thing is how gil from mobs works. It's split. If you finish WP, and go back and solo any beetles that your group didn't spawn, you get all the gil the whole group would, ie around 200 gil a pop. But as others have said, I kill them mostly for SB, since they give the same amount as any other mob in WP, but are far easier to kill.

Oh wow, wish I knew that before this patch happened :(

Quote:

---

The following changes have been made to gathering points (GP).
-Players will now also accumulate GP when playing as a Disciple of War, Magic, the Hand.
-GP will no longer reset when changing to a non-gathering class.

No one else is excited about this? >_>

---

Well, no penalized players if full pre-made party. But geez... thanks BOTs, you destroyed a small but useful income.

The patch notes are ok, I read them all and I agree with those fixes. I really liked the "vote abandon" buttom. It makes the decision better for the group, since no one will have to sacrifice himself to let the others leave the instance. I also liked the increasement of the beastribes item's price.

think before complaining, this is the equivalent of story mode Ifrit/Titan.. Hard mode will come at a later time, so they can milk content 3 times in a row!

The following balance adjustments apply only to the Wolves' Den:
The PvP action Weapon Throw will trigger additional effects regardless of positioning.
Arcanist and Summoner can no longer use the spell Resurrection.
The status effect Disease no longer inflicts the heavy effect.
In order to prevent unbalanced party compositions when using the duty finder, the following changes to party requirements have been made only for the Wolves' Den.

SMN can no longer inflict heavy in pvp

More like I dont understand. Can we gather without being a DoL now? GP resetting is more like a fix. Then again, I dont use DoLs so I dont know.

D: Why is 'Demagogue mask may be dyed to another color' in the Confirmed Bugs part? A few other (former) AK pieces could be dyed too... why can't we just dye all of them?

Just wait for the EX version in 2.2...

I do, I have more DoL and DoH classes than DoW and DoM classes and it was REALLY frustrating to lose all my GP because I wanted to change to a DoH class for a small/quick craft. I forgot to mention it, but yes, it's a nice change and it will make my gathering a bit faster.

They should just let us dye dungeon drops and be done with it. Not like dyeing is gonna hurt the game... hell, its one of the reasons I like the game, why not work on it? :(

If they made an exception for level 55-60 loot, people would start asking for exceptions to be made for level 70-90. We can't have that kind of level of individuality, we must all look the same.

More 2g logs and 8g shards for everyone!

Decreasing the difficulty of an already easy fight. Nice one Square-Enix, now even an ant can play this game and succeed.

I am! So much easier to mine unspoiled nodes now lol

ya the EX Mog i bet still wont be as hard as 1.0 mog fight. Ifrit Extreme is the shining example there. 1.0 Ifrit Ex would lol all over ARR Ifrit ex.

Even as a Smn I'm disappointed that the total extent of the nerf boiled down to Resurrection and Miasma I/II. At minimum I was expecting a potency drop on Aetherflow linked abilities for both Smn and Sch.

Vote Abandon option

The story mode is the Hard Mode, the next is Extreme Mode as Yoshida has already stated in the 2.1 live letter.

certainly cuts off cordial use when you accidentally switch from DoL to DoH
