Lovely to see that pvp just like in 6.2 has a terrible mount reward and that the tank colors for the raid gear are even uglier than I imagined. Why is everything looking so phoned in and devoid of any passion? Why is there another bed mount? Where has all the actual creativity gone?

I want the tiny Ruby Weapon.

More genderlocks removed

Why is there another bed mount?

---

The only one in the game is bloody hard to get, even harder to get the damned mats for and is horribly expensive.

Enchanted Elm is 500 EACH on Kujata alone. You need 3 AND cloudsbreath.

The bed as a mount is 1.5 million..that may have something to do with it :rolleyes::rolleyes:

This is even better news

Yessss....

Getting 1.5 million is quicker and easier than doing Zurvan for weeks. And the mounts from unreals tend to go for 9-11 million anyway.

Huzzah, new hair for bunnies and lions. Fudge me tho for new housing stuff.

I am not sure how I feel about this patch tbh...the gear does not really do much for me and the mounts just look like what we have already. I almost got a bit excited when I saw new hairstyles have been added, then I realised it is for Hroth and Viera.
Now I know they are really lacking, the Hroth especially and they should be given because they really let the races down, but come on the last decent long hair they gave was in Shadowbringers! It seems because they made the races half finished they are playing catch up and leaving the other races with hairstyles from 2010. From the lack of nice gear and also just reskinning it seems they are not really that bothered anymore. I do not use mods and never would but I have to say I can understand why people do if this is all we can get in 2023.

Oh no they nerfed them Platebearer and Protect L, now RPR can't spawn Skoll NM alone :(

But praise SE for removing genderlock for Valentione Emissary :D

Who the fuck cares for housing or hairs? Oh yes, I forgot I was playing The Sims 4

The defense thing from protect was an unintended side effect of the stat crunch that happened.

Biggest impact from this will be that Moistbox Farm Parties won't be able to do Wyverns anymore, and have to go back to Peiste/Gargoyles - which admittedly, is much less efficient. Sad times indeed.

What do they mean by rgb values in the character creation? Or the whole update about character creation?

If not for this thread, and Iscah being on point, id likely bump my thread of Misc Changes and Focus on the Small System Changes.

Interesting how they are basically highlighting which races are part of which expac now.
(though TBH, its only Shb/EW atm)

Interesting that the character sliders will show your previous position.., a MUST HAVE. Never forget what exact value you loved/liked before.(this enough, might make me wish i would bump my old thread, to see if i can get people jumping at the idea of Slider Changes in the future..,

RGB Values.., (to eye color) SE what are you doing.., (would make it possible to save the exact value of my eyes)

Bunch of Help Messages(thats neat)

Transfering hotbars seems nice, but for those that have played awhile, or are changing/making multiple sets, and etc. Probably Convenient for alts and etc.(but no real, acc wide hud, etc saving or exact action copy between characters)

(a new notice/message letting you know your Portait is still Fd up..,)

Interesting that the Font of Partymembers will change to their role type if on.(as well as that no other icons will show up over class icon on character name, asides AFK. if it is active)

Hud alignment options, helps for those that want that.(Party List align to edges)

(Increased Target to attack options. 6/7/8)

(Different Sound Effect will play after Ready check is complete depending on the amount marked Ready. useful to not have to visually check)

(and awhole lot of things that i cannot bother, since you all can read. and i personally find things more interesting)

I am unsure but it was something I noticed and prob qol, it is the first time they have ever mentioned the CC in years lol.

Basically, some things in the CC, will have Exact Values shown. Which i guess the Eyecolor RGB will have that.

along with the Sliders having the previous spot marked, so you can go back if you wanted.

Actually a healthy amount of QoL and UI improvements here… I treat Endwalker as the big foundation/systematic expansion fixer. We have had issues with replay ability etc but I think this expansion has been way ahead of others with tidying up, improving old systems at a foundational level.

I don't think anything is changing, it will just show a number for each colour now so if I ask you which eye colour your character is using you can give a number rather than try and explain which row and column.

That's how it reads to me at least?

Correct, It's just showing the actual data values now instead of having to obscurely describe which row & column something is in.
More importantly, it might be indicative of Character Creation changes coming in 7.0, where we might have more control over the values, but that's just speculation.

My hype is immensurable. Even Eureka and achievements certificates received some love lol
Can't wait for the next expedition in 7.0+ and Grand Company update.
When Endwalker launched, Yoshida said they were hiring more people...those people acquiring know-how is the only explanation.

Raid armor just looks like the Euphrosyne armor again.

A new tool for trolls has been added. “Bored with the game? Not having fun with the content? Well, you didn’t clear island sanctuary yet! You don’t play the game so you shouldn’t whine about it!”

It hurts knowing that we’re essentially forced to trudge through the spreadsheet simulator in order to have dissenting opinions about the game. Is Square doing this on purpose?

So……that’s the big update?…Instead of showing a screenshot of the colour or saying vertical row 4 / horizontal 5…….
Alright…..helps a lot more than actually getting more customisations right?………. thanks SE, you really listened.

If thats the update it sucks. The logical thing to do is allow us to specify the RGB values for those features.

It’s barely a necessary update if that’s what it is…I guess let’s wait and see ;__;

I haven't been following everything super closely lately but did they say there was going to be a big update to character creation/customization this patch? If so then I guess this is pretty disappointing, otherwise it's just a small QoL update.

I think they mentioned those changes for the next expansion but they mainly talked about character textures and in world overall light and vibrancy unless I misunderstood

Oh and congratulations to Hrothgar who can join in the Great Lengths wearable club. I do wonder how many total they will be adding as they do tend to do more than just two.

Yeah but that was always for the expansion, you said "that's the big update" so I was wondering if I had missed something they promised for this patch that's causing the disappointment.

FWIW I don't think this is meant to be the update to playable character textures they were talking about and showing off early concepts for, just a small QoL feature.

Maybe it’s just me but I feel a significant lack of desire to rush out and do this patch like I used to. In the past, I would take off the day or two for patch days for almost every patch but now… I don’t know… maybe it’s just the lack of draw in for the current MSQ, I don’t know…

Do any of you feel like this?

Previous patches had gameplay other than the latest story and raid, which can all be finished in a weekend. Now we only have Microsoft Outlook simulator, aka Island “Sanctuary”. And that’s not to mention that the core game itself has been dumbed down so much.

At this point, it’s best to stick to a free-to-play weekend that they usually have. You can do all the patch content in those four days, including the new V&C whenever it comes out.

Until then, go have fun with some actual video games that don’t try to replicate your work software.

Man every time I see a screenshot from that one boss from the new raid tier I get blown away. Its design looks like an angel straight out of Bayonetta, I love it. Really like the QoL improvements in this too, nice to see.

That's actually a mistranslation because on JP patch notes it just say "Fish tank filtering"
