Patch 3.1 Information

[RussW]

I was honestly hoping for class balance. I have a bard, ninja, and machinist at 60 with 190+ gear. I enjoy playing the ninja and machinist. I dont like to see people skipping over classes. I was hoping to see tweaks to Savage in its current state rather than implementing 210 gear as an attempt at a soft nerf.

All in all this patch is much needed. It seems that the following patches will be much sooner than what we waited for 3.1.

Reading between the lines, this doesn't primary mean, its a burden because of the contents difficult itself.
Looking at the current expert instances.
If everything would be done like designed, the healer is around 30% busy by healing. Maybe less.
What are the other 70% for in the mind of the designers?
Compensating mistakes!
In the current expert dungeons its nealy impossible to fail, when you have a good healer.
A hard 4 man would mean, the healer would be busy maybe for around 80% by healing when no mistakes will happen.
So there is a much lower amount of room to comensate.

...so?
Do it, please xD
With most content, not even with others failing I have to make an 100% effort as a healer.
So I'd totally love something on savage level, just with 4 instead of 8 people, because I personally find it kind of tiring to take care of 8 people.
That's why a really difficult 4-man dungeon would be just perfect for my tastes

Except the problem we have now is that player interest, clear rate, and possibly overall subscription has dropped sharply because of how easy normal is in contrast to how hard savage is.

And Savage don't gives you any kind of Reward.
I can do Alex Normal on one Day to gain ilvl 190, over time you will hit ilvl 200 through Eso. Alex Savage ilvl 210? For what? 200 is already more than enough for any Content outside of Savage and that will not change with 3.1. Story? Well it is in Normal.

I assume Alex Savage will really fall apart with 3.1, as it just delivers nothing at all...well it kills your lifetime, but else, no profit at all to play through it.

Meh, that the Roulette will stay as it is right now makes me sad. I thought the patch could actually motivate me to do it daily again. sobbing

But I really look forward to the Vanu Quests. Ahhh, we can learn their fabulous dance, yey!

And then on week 3 no one will ever finish it because where there's no incentive to run it more than once, no one does it more than once, and those late to the party for any reason are f'd.

No.

We don't need three difficulties either.

It's call Trial Roulette. 3 difficulties is the best thing to if they have the resources for it. Story mode that's faceroll no loot, Hard mode that's harder than any Trial, Savage mode that really test the top end players.

Why not just put the ears in the ear slots?...

Because too many people complained about the cat tail trap. *remembers the soldiery caster gear and shivers*

Just want to throw this out there. A "no loot" mode will not be done, because nobody would do it, as it provides nothing. That's the reason why Normal Alexander provides loot, so that once you clear it once you'll at least have a reason to go back in.

Unless instead of actual loot it dropped a metric asston of the latest tomes.

i did Ramuh HM, Cape Westwind, Chrysalis all in the last week with no loot. so you're wrong.

they can put them all in the Lv 60 roulette.

Mmm... dat tail condom...

You're right, they are in the Trial Roulette. Unless they come up with a Raid Roulette or something because Twelve knows they can't just stick that in a lvl 60 roulette with other lvl 60 dungeons, because you know. 4man vs 8man.

In theory they could add all the turns to the Trial Roulette, but I'm more than certain there is some bullcrap that labels Alexander different from say Ravana and thus, not a trail and thus, can't go in the roulette.
