2.35 Patch Notes Discussion Thread

Do you really want an entire alliance wearing i45-49 stuff in ST? Honestly, I think this is a needed change.

ST has a requirement of IL 70 iirc, so that's not something they'd be able to do there (at least not with ALL their gear). The example was referring specifically to LotA and Pharos.

Regarding ST though, something that probably ought to be done all around the board is that gear swaps should be prevented if they would bring you below the dungeon's IL requirement... that or gear swaps in instances should be prevented outright.

I don't get why people don't just go spiritbond in the open world. It's easy and nobody has to carry you.

Because the open world doesn't drop you i100 gear, oils for i110 gear, or allagan tomes. It's not hard to figure out...

MMOs provide a lot to do. People wanna multitask.

Because it's painfully slow compared to binding in a dungeon. Maybe if Square were to make spiritbinding less of a grind or at least bearable, we wouldn't have this issue.

I find it pretty fast and you dont have to leech off others.

You only need i70 to enter the instance, before this change someone could swap to full crafter gear and leech off those who don't do it. I'd love to see a 24 man CT or ST everyone wearing crafter gear, for those who keep saying they are not leeching.

Multitask while being carried, yeah no that's not how it should be.

It was a great change.

I don't understand why they reduced rank B HP. At the first day of patch 2.3 i knew nothing about hunts, met lvl 50 monster (Stinning Sophie) and killed it. I was pld50 with class-job gear only equipped. The only ileveled item i had was i70 sword. I killed it solo in 7 minutes with my rank 8 chokobo as a healer.
So, single players could kill rank b alone with chokobo assistance before 2.35 w/o aid of other players, but there was no reasons t do this - much time, risk of death, etc

You missed the increase of B rank HP.

After the first patch the HP of B ranks was increased to alleviate the issue of the horde zerging them too fast, now they're back to being soloable like that Stinging Sophie you killed.

At least now the only ones swapping like this should be legitimate dungeon trolls which should drastically reduce the amount of these people and it makes it more clean cut to vote kick them. They can't turn around and cry "I was SBing! That isn't against ToS!". If they're in low level/crafting gear then they are being disruptive and harassing the group plain and simple.

Yup. Looking forward to it.

Hey I am not too clear on spirit binding, What is the point of it?

Converting the gear for materia.
