Patch Notes are up

Here we go

EDIT:

Launcher is now downloading! =)

Looks like an increased focus on leveling through fates. I would guess that is their answer to the dramatic imbalance in DPS versus the other two archetypes that is about to happen?

No sitting around for hours for some people. If you're inactive for 30 minutes you're gettin the boot

When completing a level 51 to 59 dungeon or a level 61 to 69 dungeon, players will always receive one piece of gear equippable by their current class or job.

i like the sound of that

Launcher is updating finally lol o/

Downloading update 2.5GB btw :P

I'm about halfway through the notes and the change that caught my eye is that Paladin while sprinting will do so with their shields in front of them, instead of what they do now.

Can't wait to see the new running animations for healers.

Holy crap weakness got worse! WHY?!

Edit: Well, health doesn't go down anymore, so a bit ok with that

If they got any.
Said only certain classes & jobs got new running animations.
I expect DRK isn't one of them since their Running Animation don't look as wonky as others might've.

It did not get worse, HP is not going to be taken away. When they raise they wont die right off the bat, thank god. Also status reductions fade faster. o/ {Speaking from a Mentor Roulette Perspective: This is a Beautiful change.)

I'd say it's more punishing. You shouldn't be dying right off the bat anyways, unless you're doing something terribly wrong. I like this change, gives death more meaning.
