Any things you don't like in the 3.0 patch notes?

[Drakin]

A little disappointed that what looks to be the DRK mount is just reskin of the Coeurl mount, I was expecting a Panther when I saw DRK's PvP armour, but ah well. I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.

So wait, they nerfed normal experience gained from low level dungeons?

No, they just re-distributed it so you get less from mobs and more from the bosses. It's still the same amount of exp overall.

No. The experience distribution has been shifted - EXP on normal mobs has been reduced, and that missing EXP has been put on the bosses.

This is specifically because starting around Cutter's Cry, the fastest ways to get EXP were just to slam the first room over and over, and the devs aren't fond of that (Like they weren't fond of people dropping Brayflox Hard after the second boss because of where tomestones were being distributed)

They want us to be doing the new dungeons for exp. I imagine the MQ will have enough to tide us over until we reach the first post-50 story dungeon.

I think they're also concerned that if you can just pick whatever L50 dungeon you want for EXP, people will zerg to one or two specific dungeons to level and people seeking to do other dungeons will be screwed over; hence why you're incentivized to Roulette them (so that the game's going to attempt to match you with any players who haven't done them yet)

Slow debuff (Feint) is still next to useless in utility in PvE...

As well as Sleep.

Well, to be fair, the PvP armor is just a reskin as well... They could call the black Coeurl a panther still, just like they're going to call the reskinned Lionliege armor Pantherliege. Heck, Warrior is really the only one that won out on the Job mounts, Paladin just got a one-headed Chimera reskin.

No need to guess. Yoshi-P specifically said they did this to kill off that kind of leveling play.

Wish they would kill off the fate kind of leveling play

[Kit-Kat]

The change in Determination. Lowering the effect it has on damage and their Mention of changes in stats that affect. parry/block.sounds like a kick in the balls to those of us who invested time going full Det on relic

You're getting new gear at Lv55~60. Technically, everything you've invested in so far is gonna get abandoned anyway, unless you plan on playing with a lv50 weapon at lv60.

[Grux]

One thing that disturbs me is that they added "Weathered Arondight" to the tome exchange NPC. Presumably an ilvl100 weapon for DRK.

The upgraded version should be Arondight.

Arondight, ladies and gentleman, is Lancelot's legendary sword from the Arthurian legend.

It's a name worthy of a relic, not some random placeholder weapon.

Now, it's entirely possible that the standard mobs are going to give EXP regardless and this is just referring to an "EXP Bonus" at the end...but it seems fairly clear? I certainly hope you're correct, though.

So, you hope that people can just infinitely spam old dungeons to level to 60 without having to see any of the new content or get to level 60 in a couple days even if they don't buy heavensward.

That's the thing with the Sol weapons though, they're all actually "legendary" in their own right. Not from a gameplay perspective, of course, but I think all of them take their name from some significant piece of lore. Certainly a good few of them share a name with Mythic weapons from Final Fantasy XI. Only exception I can think of is the SCH/SMN books.

I'll agree that they've been a tad wasteful with weapon names though... Tupsimati belonged to old Lou, the Grand Company leaders own various other "classic" relics as well (Death Penalty and Annihilator, Claustrum, and I believe they gave Raubahn Tizona), then there is the Primal Focus weapons which were meant to be throwbacks to the Final Fantasy III legendary weapons IIRC. Really have to wonder what they're going to name the new ones coming up in 3.1...
