Patch 2.16 Up! [Discuss]

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest...91ba3f787720f1

Notes I meant :D

Only thing of interest for me are the new achievement rewards. Can't wait to starting going for those.

Ready check = good.
Party Finder Refresh = good.

Tiny icon to indicate which abilities are Macros on the toolbar = unnecessary

I use a lot of macros. I will have little gears across half of my hotbar now. *sigh* I would prefer if the little indicator was optional.

No mob required for Obey. Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeesss

a lot
Markers,
Ready Check,
PF refresher,
Sent history for mog mail,
and many more.

overall a positive patch.

This. Can always tell when someone hits obey when their egi just leroys. haha.

Everything looks great although I'm confused at one part:
http://puu.sh/736gv.png

Does this mean that:

Code:

---

/ac "Spur" <me>
/ac "Rouse" <me>
/ac "Raging Strikes" <me>

---

Will work as intended (single use hit multiple times) because of the <me>? or will it still initiate the /wait 1?

Yeah I would have my separate little macro just so I can use embrace for my Scholar

Lots of great QoL changes! And I'm getting every single craft Master ring upon login. ^^

Weather Effects and the Rings! Yahoo!

Ready Check for the win! Anyways that "Chocobo Suit"...requires Rank 10 Companion.

Great patch, glad to see upgrades of the Brayflox rings put in. So cute. Wondering how the new AOEs will look in-game, excited to see them when I boot up and (hopefully) get in tomorrow.

Loving the notes and additions.

no, if u check the web developer or inspect element it should be how Minagawa explain

Code:

---

/ac "Rouse" <wait.3>
/ac "Raging Strikes" <wait.3>

O.o I wanna Chocobo Suit! o.O

So it seems like the new "Master Ring" for each crafting class will be BiS over one Aetheryte Ring HQ.

Edit: Totally forgot about a melded Aetheryte Ring HQ :(

Each crafting and gathering class does not need it's own ring. That is clutter for no reason whatsoever. Plus level 50 crafting rings already exist and didn't need a upgrade. I can only imagine what someone with overmelded 5 slot rings feels. At least make upgrades for slots that don't have level 50 gear like ears and waist if you're going to do it. Otherwise crafting upgrades should probably be saved for expansions.

i... dont think so..

HQ Aetheryte Ring can still be MELDED but obviously those master rings wont be able to do so.

If they look good, they'll be nice for vanity. I doubt they'll be upgrades since Achievement items never have materia slots.

Obey without Target FTW. Dang I hated that crap.
I will also be heading over to Akupula Falls to grab some Achievments...LOL
So you mean I can Stoneskin my whole party now instead of just 7 with my macro....nice!
This is a nice littel "tide us over" until 2.1 comes out upgrade.
Now just waiting for PS4 BETA...going to be nice.

I'm laughing, because they're not better than melded hq aetheryte rings.

While I agree that we need ilvl 55 crafting belts/earrings/necklaces, I'm glad these aren't them. These aren't even upgrades to the ring slots. I don't want to be forced to complete my "crafting logs" for my 50s just for a marginal increase.

It's a shame that these items will go the path of the luminaries... but I guess that's what SE wants achievement items to be.



I love all these pet and macro changes. Shame they screwed up the <wait.number> example though.

They made a mistake in the English translation.
In Japanese they used fast blade <wait.3> as a example so for swift+raise should be Swifcast <wait.1>
Hopes it clarifies

Its own Crafting and Gathering ring ???
I don't have enough space already :v

Still can't summon chocobo while in DF queue. ****ing amazing at this point.

A lot of cool small thing in this patch sound cool, can't wait to see my breath in the snow ^ᴥ^

This does and I'm superbly happy to see one of my favorite things about XI coming to XIV
My crafting macros are going to love me forever

Planning to hit up Camp Dragonhead the moment I log it.

The real question is, can these new achievement rings be stored in Armoire.
I got 12 new rings from the achievements!

Since the fishing ring gives GP, I guess they will make GP useful for fishers in the future?

I can now dress like the chocobo porter!

Quality of life things are always nice, they need more meaningful content to utilize these things though. And I don't mean just 4-5 more bosses....the need to get real and develop some long term end game.

With that wait macro change, now I only need one button titled "Press2CraftHQ4Me". Yay \o/

That letter waymark thing looks nice, if they allow multiple of the same letter be placed and have A-Z then it will be an awesome thing to use for screenshots. (Spelling words midair)

The earliest that will likely happen is when an expansion gets released. That's the normal trend for MMOs - none really launch with a fully fleshed-out end-game environment.

As for the changes, I generally like everything I see, though I sincerely wish that improved Armoire functionality was on the list of 2.2 items that got moved forward. The Armoire implementation is so terrible right now, it feels like they gave it to the 1.0 team to design.

DYE PREVIEWS. YEEES. I've wasted so much Gil dying armor before knowing what it would look like ;A;

Pause to make character face camera? Awesome, cute, and a little creepy. B)

I'm mostly excited about all the cosmetic updates (water effects hell yes) but every change and update looks great :D

I don't understand the negativity toward additions that hurt nothing by being included in the game. You're right that they don't serve some grand purpose, but do they have to? They'll help gear fresh level 50 crafters, might look cool for vanity, and I for one am super excited to see them in the game. Variety is a good thing!

Honestly, with the way SE has been working on these patches, I have high hopes for 2.2 - and for the future of this game.

I wonder if there will be any alternative advancement progression in the future.

Best part of this patch: JOURNAL DUTY APPEARANCE SELECTION!
