6.57 Patch Update!!

I am really enjoying the Patch Notes for 6.57! Much needed Quality of Life!!
My personal favorite is the Update to the Tomestones.
PvP looks good, I would need to test it out in game.
Savage Raid Restrictions removed is good, many were waiting for it.
Island Sanctuary Hints is very good for those who are lost.
Vesper Bay Aetheryte Tickets increase is also good. Now just use them whenever, sprouts!!

Good update overall. If positive feedback was wanted, I gave.

I was more interested in this,

The Xbox Series X|S version utilizes single sign-on (SSO) authentication. Once Square Enix accounts and Xbox (Microsoft) accounts are linked, players can skip the login process and launch the game directly.

Why can't this be how the PC version works, like enter the ID and Password once and the Launcher saves it and just automatically logs in from then forth.

These are standard changes for the .57 patch. The same changes mostly happened in 2.57, 3.57, 4.57, 5.57.

They typically check if any PvP changes need to be made, remove savage loot restrictions and uncap the weekly tomestones.

Those things will return for 7.05 so don't expect them to be permanent.

There were already more than enough. Source: I went through ARR on an alt. They just want to give even more to account for them being wasted.

I'm also wondering why it doesn't work that way for PS4/PS5. Don't get me wrong, it's no Playonline on 360 headache, but still, it's quite odd.

Maybe the game could be sold through the Windows Store or something?

How do you waste a Vesper Bay ticket? I have 8 alts and every time I got tickets I was very happy. Used them all and wished i had more.

By teleporting to Vesper Bay to complete a quest but then not progressing it and going somewhere else because a friend wanted you to do something.

I had plenty left, including for Urianger's sidequests. But regardless, more is good as well.

I think that it is just not necessarily obvious to new players since this isn't how you normally teleport and they have so many random items and crafting materials in their inventory. It would have been more ideal for the quests to just take us to The Waking Sands automatically.

Getting 300 tomes instead of 50 from Khloe is quite nice.

There's a song I love called "give it up" from the fright night movie....it sy cs perfectly with bees knees dance which is what I am doing in response to this thread

The amount of data required to win has been decreased from 2,000 to 1,600.
The amount of data gained from defeating a member of an opposing team has been increased from 5 to 8.

Who knew that trying to take out the pvp out of pvp was a bad idea.

But it kind of does? The Playstation can not skip the login process entirely, but it can save your password and you just have to click on "login". And when you don't close the game before you put the console in rest mode you actually can skip the login process.

I think the reason was that the console and SE accounts are linked together - you cannot start the game without being logged into both accounts. And I am pretty sure they said this feature will not come to PC.

But well, that was some 5 years ago.

Shatter deserves criticism but this is hardly a Shatter-exclusive problem. You can see examples in every PvP mode that SE has been trying to make matches quicker. I ain't the biggest fan of them constantly trying to make matches into quick defeat game modes. But I acknowledge it's probably healthier since people tend to outright give up if they aren't leading and stop playing.

I totally agree. I was never a fan of the 50 of the new tomes. I would have settled for 250 but 300 is nice & is much needed. Gets rid of a lot of roulettes & dungeon grinds.

Looks like no change on server status for NA DCs - I wanted to create a new character on a congested server - bummer.

Im glad i handed in my book on saturday lol

The Khloe update is nice. I can't remember, they didn't do that before right? I think 1 line has always been 50 and it's not just because tomes are unlocked?

Was the one unsung blade per week limit from P13 normal lifted? Or is that savage only?

Wow has this. It even works with your security token. You put it in and have it remember your pc, and you're done. One press login.

Matches being quick also helps with actually finding queues since there arent too many players playing pvp other than daily frontline roulette, so quick matches mean quick refill for queue for those that plan to queue in again.

Everything in the game is formulaic. Even patches. The removal of savage loot restrictions was expected. So was the tomestone cap increase.

Unexpected but very nice update

Just Savage. The P12 normal limit will (very likely) be lifted with 6.58 in March, along with the alliance raid's weekly loot limit.

Which honestly makes 0 sense when you consider anyone can just easily get a relic weapon that's better anyways.
