Patch Notes (Preliminary)

[NewAgeDoom]

As long as you enjoy it, it's best not to worry about what everyone else is doing.

-A Miqo'te

Which one though!?

....It was Y'shtola, wasn't it.

[Sethani]

No WHM changes, but SCH/AST buffs when SCH/AST already was META. What are they trying to do with WHM again? I can understand the QoL changes, but the buffing of the potency of Whispering Dawn for example. I hope the WHM changes are being saved for the full patch notes though. Is there a history of them withholding all changes to some classes until the full patch notes?

Also, this... why just why PC/Mac only?




Already have the Eastern Lady's Attire in there (from Mog Station). Wedding attire and the Eternity Ring are notable exceptions to the rule of MS glamour can already be added to the dresser.

Whispering down is now an ability and won't be buffed by largess or other buff resulting in a realy big nerf.

Please mean that Eos will actually use Cov/Illu the first time I hit the button and not the 15th time.

Contagion.....Contagion....

[Garuda] I'm casting magic!

....Please?

[Garuda] When? Now?

...Thanks, the boss is at 3% health now, thanks Garuda.

Technically you could already do that by using the pet steady/guard switch macro. (That's how I get mine and she always listens)

But it'll be nice to not have to rely on a macro anymore.

The FU changes also sound nice, looking forward to it.

[Stormfur]

"New hairstyleS have been added". I only see one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I bet it's one for male, one for female -- that counts as hairstyleS, sadly.

[Nestama]

but the buffing of the potency of Whispering Dawn for example.

Isn't it more of a nerf now that it's considered an ability and not a spell? Rouse and Fey Illumination only affects healing magic.

I use that macro too, it doesn't require as much button mashing but for me the auto embrace still screws it up sometimes (if it's an AI one, Eos doesn't care about you if there are a lot of people below the auto embrace threshold) before she uses an ability so it gets delayed by up to 2-4 seconds even with the macro. With this change I hope it just goes off immediately no matter what. The only time it is actually responsive for me is if everyone is above the auto embrace threshold and she isn't casting auto embrace.

[Krokov]

Also little bumming to see the Chocobo racing change not that it's on Duty Finder but that the entire process is now in the Duty Finder whether you go with a party or solo. Not sure how much that'll change it other than what's been revealed in the notes already.

I've never had that issue. The macro always cancels her auto-embrace for me. However, I don't spam it (spamming messes with the macro even with macro lock). I press once and she starts what I tell her to within 1 second).

Of course it'll be nice to not have to worry about it at all anymore (and it'll be nice for summoner, who couldn't effectively use the macro method because changing steady/guard actually affects how their pets behave).

All in all a good change, and the FU changes sound more interesting. I already use FU quite a bit but sometimes I wait because I know I have a pet skill I'm going to be using. If she's able to interrupt FU in order to use her own skills, that's a huge improvement.
