About Some 2.1 Details

[BLaCKnBLu3B3RRY]

awesome deal everyone! thank you so much for so many great responses!


Medica II

i can understand the Medica II thing more now. it does cause a ton of enimity. so not having to use it as often is nice. i just hope it will still be a viable spell.


Thunder

i was always under the impression SMN had lower DPS. i hear many complaints. like they have a long ramp up time. so only do well in exalted fights. (only what i hear) oh well. i am sure it is fine. some people probably exaggerating.



Damage over Time

OH! i know what i was missing here. the Flaming Arrow must had been BEFORE the status effect. cause i am WHM. if i sleep an enemy and use Aero they wake up from the base potency damage. but if you use Aero first they will stay sleeping.



Resistance Counter

i see. makes sense.



Link Bonus

@Rune_Crystalblade. i think the "ement" is cut off only on your end. :/

okay i understand now. lols they are vague and could had said chain bonus instead of link bonus. no worries though. and thank you



NPC Trade

but the game already tell you how many items the NPC wants in the trade. it tells you a number in the place holder for the item where you give it to the NPC. maybe i am just missing something here.


Pet Modes

oh maybe i am thinking of something wrong then, have not played ACN much. but i really liked how i could initiate an attack with one of the actions. and the Carbuncle would only use Gust. (thought it was Obey. the other red one that is not Sic) but with Sic it would use Gust and the other action that applies a knockback.

i don't know. we will just have to see.



Sub-menu with X button

yeah. kinda figured they goofed up there. ^_^



XHB Toggle mode interactivity

awesome! this is good news



Thank You, DarkB, Rune_Crystalblade and Wizmastr! Thank You Very Much.

Emote Message

i am still not clear on what the purpose of this feature is for.
can't we already remove emote message from the log? there is a Standard Emote and Custom Emote option in the filter settings. or is an "emote message" something entirely different?



LB/RB and LT/RT buttons

LT/RT are Left Trigger and Right Trigger on a Xbox controller. They are the same as L2/R2 on PS3.
LB/RB are Left Bumper and Right Bumper on a Xbox controller. They are the same as L1/R1 on PS3.
The PC version of FF:ARR can use a Xbox controller so they give the name both for the PS3 and the Xbox.

i totaly get what you say here. however there seems to be a confliction.

if LB = L1 then what do they mean by L1 + LB? this should make zero sense. mayeb SE made a typo. also if LB/RB = L1/R1... what would holding L1+R1 do? that does absolutely nothing as far as i know.

Actions, such as autorun or registering cross hotbars, that require L1 + LB to be held down simultaneously will be unavailable while L2 + R2 and LB + RB cross hotbars are activated.

still trying to understand this. i think i only half understand it. i hope it means when i am holding down L2/R2 and using the L1/R1 buttons for targeting. that hopefully when i press L1 while moving to target somehting it won't turn on auto-move anymore. that was so annoying.



~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


still got some more no worries if people can't answer. after all nobody has played any of the update yet.


is the Hildibrand Returns quest line a main story quest or side story quest? it is listed as side story in two places and listed as main story at the Realm Rewoken page.



Guild Leve's


Shards awarded for completing fieldcraft leves have been increased.

what leves award shards? only item i have ever gotten from any fieldcraft leve is a Cordial.




Items




When gathering, players may now discover items with the following properties:
Rare: Only one of these items can be obtained from this gathering point.
Hidden: This item cannot normally be obtained from this gathering point.
when or how exactly can a hidden item be obtained?

With the text commands, you can perform the animation for an emote without having it show in other's logs by adding "motion" to it. E.g., typing "/panic motion" without the quotes. This checkbox will let you do the same thing (use the animation without spamming anyone's chat log) via the emote window.

if LB = L1 then what do they mean by L1 + LB? this should make zero sense. mayeb SE made a typo. also if LB/RB = L1/R1... what would holding L1+R1 do? that does absolutely nothing as far as i know.

They just should have used slashes or something. They mean LB or L1, depending on the type of controller you're using. Obviously you can't hold LB and L1 at the same time, they're the same button on different controllers.
