Patch 6.05 Notes

[Astril]

Unbelievable that they didn't address the audio stutter that's been going on since early access, not even as a known issue. Going to wait and see if it got in under "other various issues have also been addressed" but if not I'll be cancelling my sub and seeking a refund for the remaining months I have left.

I..
Honestly, that issue stopped for me after 6.01. You're still getting it?

Yes. 6.01 made it dramatically worse for some people, myself included, and other people who didn't have the bug before suddenly had it after. You're the first person I've seen who said the patch fixed it. There's an 80 page thread in the Technical Support forum that Square has almost completely ignored. You can read more about exactly what's causing the issue here: https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/...=1#post5788370

Huh. Interesting. Yeah, during early access all BGM for me would just stop. It didn't stutter, it simply ceased, and only other noises would play (teleports, etc). It's all back to normal now though..

The issue still ongoing looks to mainly be the horrendous stuttering in the audio. 6.01 did address the issue with audio dropping entirely.

Mm. Yeah, I don't have any stuttering or 'popping' as that thread describes, it's the first i've even heard of it.

All of this aside, I've actually been having a harder time healing (during lv 90 dungeons, at least.. though I imagine that will change as people get better gear) so I don't.. feel like healers are in a godawful place? Whats the supposed problem? Er.. Warriors aside, at least. I can die and they just.. keep going.

That aside, I do think DRK could use some form of heal or mitigation - that, or unlink the heal cooldown.

The only problem I see is that DRK has sustain/mitigation issues and therefor is harder to heal. But other than that, you should have smooth runs if tanks and DPS do their job.
