Patch 5.2 Notes (Preliminary)

[Nandrolone]

The devs REALLY need to rethink when they release relics. The game has been dull this patch (it always happens) and if the Relic had been released in X.1 or X.2 it would have given people things to do during the inevitable downtime.

RE: This patch

The Desynth changes are bad. This is a poor change when they've made it easier not 2 patches ago. Certain Desynth breakpoints are absolutely stupid (Looking at you Alchemy and your inability to desynth ANY potion) and the current way helps that.

The Crafting Changes are bad. They keep not wanting people to use macros but I guarantee you within 2 days after the patch a macro will exist. It's inevitable. People find the most efficient way to do things.

The Gil on collectibles? It wasn't used to make money, it was miniscule in the grand scheme of things. It was used to cover the teleportation costs of being a collector.

SE needs to stop completely changing systems one patch and then completely changing them again shortly after. What happened to the steady meticulous developers from the past?

This game is starting to look a lot like World of Warcraft in it's development cycles and that is NOT a good thing. I play FFXIV for stability (one of many reasons), not a roller coaster.

Why exactly are the crafting changes bad? Because you don’t want to spend much effort during a rotation?

Have trouble reading or comprehending my reasoning? I pretty much spelled it out.

I think they were insinuating that you just don't like the change because it takes away macros.

EDIT:

Basically,

"It's bad" =/= "I don't like this"

Welp, there goes Reuse. A skill that has saved so much gil and made me able to regain primal mats. You will be missed.

Yup, that ones make me kinda angry and I don't understand why they're removing it.

Kinda upset that you do not get any gil from doing the collectible anymore. I wonder why they did this.

Indeed It was only up to 10000 or 15000 per week and I don't know use it to make Gil in that sense just a nice bonus if you will but /sigh

It's like I said in my 1st post in this thread some great changes/additions others disappointing some more so.

It was even RNG dependant, I love when it procs when using white scrips mats but it does so rarely that it's not a broken skill or anything...

On other patch sutff, I reaaaally want that house glam and the new crafted outfit, also yay for gender unlocking the wedding outfits and DNC/GNB Shinryu weapons. Outside Viera/Hroth hair, it's looking good for aesthetics.

Yeah I agree fully, and tbh no matter the good ones, the disappointing ones were enough to bring my mood down about the rest too.
