Today's hotfix (11/16)

Anyone have any super secret hotfix notes on what they're planning to fix with it? I poked around but found no details.

Probably just bug fixes so they wont post anything till the servers are down. Stops people from trying to exploit them.

I pray they fix the ALT+TAB crashes and the duty roulette nonsense.

Probably whatever caused the emergency maintenance on Chaos data center this morning.

I'm guessing some of the known issue will be address. Maybe Duty finder display.

They need to fix the broken Roulettes.

There's probably a number of other fixes as well, but the only thing I've seen specifically mentioned had to do with the new rules about how fast the Limit Break gauge fills:

During the Japanese patch note reading, Yoshi-P mentioned that there has been a lot of feedback since the release of the preliminary patch notes, and he has been discussing this with the development team. As a result, they have decided to remove this feature and revert the system back to how it was originally. This will be done in a hotfix as early as possible.

This feature was originally intended to be added to allow more players with different jobs to be able to participate in end-game content, as well as keep the job setup to 2 tanks, 2 healers, and 4 DPS. However, they are aware that there are still many groups challenging Alexander (Savage) with their current groups, and also know how difficult it is to currently make a group for this content. Due to this, they will be fleshing out the feature a bit more, and plan to add it back in Patch 3.2.

We apologize for any issues this may cause your groups and ask you to please wait patiently until the hotfix for this to be reverted back.

Assume a bunch of the "Known Issues" have been addressed as well.

Well guess it's time to see what's up....

Probably just boring housekeeping stuff.

I want to laugh but instead I'm going to resort to sad silence because you're probably right.

Going to say Alex 4 Normal's moving Manipulator will be fixed, among other bug fixes.

There will be a series of hotfixes because 3.1 brought in a lot of bugs, just as 3.0 did..

Nothing wrong with progress, as long as it keeps coming (and Square acknowledges that they exist).

As did pretty much every patch before, it's pretty much inevitable for a large game like this.

Misleading title.

SE posted the issues they fixed here. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...v.-16%29/page7

The main thing was they reverted the lb generation to how it was. Also various bug fixes.

Oh, I got hit with that. I had to run right next to an NPC to get their name to go red so I could attack it. I think it was one of the knights.

They also still haven't fixed the issue where many people (myself included) are only able to do three Vanu Vanu quests a day instead of six. Two hotfixes and it's been left to continue. Honestly, that's something you'd think would be picked up in testing, but guess not.

Since they've already posted they can't find anything wrong with the Duty Roulette algorithm, I doubt that will change. There isn't a great deal we can do except ... wait and hope?

I won't consider it "fixed" until I can go as my main class. As it stands now, taking a SMN into Diadem HM is a big no-no, especially if your party ever wants to see a gold chest.

Tri-Disaster: "NO EFFECT"
Bio2: "NO EFFECT"
Miasma: "NO EFFECT"
Bio: "NO EFFECT"
Bane: "NO EFFECT"
Fester: "NO EFFECT"

...well, shit. Having to use Energy Drain and Painflare ONLY to get into Dreadwyrm Trance is NOT a solution. This kills the SMN's damage contribution, and it NEEDS TO BE FIXED. And I am NOT taking "PS3 LIMITATIONS" as an answer!

Er.. Isn't this intentional? If you rank up you can do 6 (3 before 3 after) as a bonus, but otherwise it's 3 a day.

you are only supposed to be able to do 3 a day - if you get to an additional rank that day, the dailies "reset" and you can do an additional 3

Yeah, same here. I was getting hit through the walls etc. Was mildly annoying. My escort npc kept running off to go find it, and I think eventually killed it off cause the attacks stopped :P

That's not how it worked with other beastman daily's. Hense the confusion I'm sure. Usually each rank you acquire there is a new npc that is offering daily quests. And the old npc still offers the dailies they had. So once you get to say Rank 2 with other beastman, you can start doing 6 daily quests to accelerate your rank up(or now sense HW 12 if your at rank 4). And iirc, the newer ones would have a greater reward. But it seems so far, no matter what rank you are, you still can only get quests from the same npc, they also still give the same reward. And you can sometimes end up getting the same quests you had at the initial rank. So something does seem a little iffy there. It's possible its all intentional, so that people can't just plow through this beastman daily, but who knows atm.

It's listed as a confirmed bug here and awaiting a fix.

You only ever get access to the first three dailies you start off on and can't choose any more, despite going up in rank. If you can only do three even without the glitch, then that's myself misunderstanding how they work. I've gone off what others have told me, since I can't tell otherwise with said glitch, but it's still broken.

My understanding of it is that ranking up expands the pool of quests, but it's still only one giver with 3 at a time.. The bug being that once you ranked up, there were issues with giving the next set. I could be wrong, but ranking up has increased the variety of quests.

Mostly Diadem fixes with no fixes to the DF. At least limit break is fixed.
