The rest of me just wants the damn patch right now

Same.
1.18 will give me a reason to start playing again even if it is only for a short while just to try out the new battle mechanics.
When raid areas are implemented, I'll probably be back for a long while.

So no patches at all through June? I was hoping they'd at least let out the battle modifications and let the raid content be pushed back as planned instead. Because honestly anything is better than the current state of the game now.

Anyone else realize that TP seemed to regen? Maybe a testing mechanic or something in the new battle-fixes?

lnc-related part is obliusly regening, he used invigorate.
For gld and pgl, tp raises taking hit too, as was in ffxi, but not really regening

I think the tp was doing that cause this was just a demo to show off the new battle skills or certain animations could have been cutting off the AA animation so the char was still getting tp.

Well i knew it was gonna get delayed but i rather have the patch be good than be worse than the release of this game was. That Glad and lancer ws made me jizz <.<

Hmmm mage auto attack...
Cast sleep >>>> AA >>> mob wake up >>> mage is dead...

Edit:



No raid is just a group bigger then a party with special circumstances. For all we know we might be stuck with a raid dungeon for rank 30-40 range.

we already know this. We are getting a raid for 4-man mid-level and another for 8-man 50.

Yes, some clarification on whether DoM have AA or not would be nice. The letter said 'battle classes', and in my opinion mages aren't exactly battle classes.

Oh Bayohne? Pleeeease?

Good point. It would make for some funny You Tube clips, though.

I'm underwhelmed. There is no advancement at all if they only did 1 dungeon and auto-attack so far. I would find it really hard to believe that they all had to work on auto-attack. Just how low is the budget and understaffed are they for FFXIV. Does this game have any priority at all anymore at Squaresoft? And he points out one guy that's going to overworked from testing? Jeez

There will be one Instance Dungeon for balanced for Rank 30 light parties, and one Instance Dungeon for Rank 50 full parties in 1.18.

I just want them to get rid of the evade ws on pug mainly simian thrash. Hay maker, jarring strike, and etc can stay the same tho.
