Patch notes for Patch 7.2: Seekers of Eternity

[VictorSpoils]

I don't understand. Is this the run fast sprint? If so, it's instant, so why queue it?

This would have to make it (and potions/food) easier to weave in battle. Not that important for food but would be noticeable for the other two.

Is there any special reasons why they do not show any of the Job Changes in the preliminary patches? As I seriously doubt they will make any big changes to Jobs in 2-3 days
This week will be a horrible start to a new work week and a new patch thanks to the stupid midexpansion BLM rework. I do NOT want another Job to become braindead dumbed down

Back in Stormblood they actually did announce job changes in the prelim patch. But then players said the WHM Lily system sucked, devs said players should try it before saying anything, it released and it sucked. Since then the devs have felt insulted that players dared call them out, and were correct, and we haven't had job changes in patch note.

They have gone over some job changes in LL such as when Ninjutsu was changed to GCDs, and I recall when they showed the Trick Attack change to Mug, they were hammered by JP comments in the chat. And I assume this is the reason they didn't "announce" the BLM change in this LL, only let people notice it.

It has occurred to me that there's no mention of new "outfits" for storing in the glamour dresser. I hope that's just because they don't generally tend to list added items in the patch notes – I've been deliberately keeping more gear pieces than I normally would (particularly jewellery from the ex-endgame dungeons) waiting to see what they would say about which pieces we'll need to insert to store battle sets.

I believe it was either 5.1 or 5.2 when they stopped includong the job changes in the preliminary notes cause of all the aforementioned reasons.

I do find it funny that they said they would stop with mid expansion job changes with the reception to sam rework in 6.1 but the. We have this here.

Yeah I hope that's just an omission and they're adding more outfits. I really want them to make the alliance raid sets into outfits, I have a lot of them stored in the dresser and don't want to throw them out since they're a pain to get again.

Yeah, I remember the Stormblood job change announcements. It was like the devs didn't actually play the jobs when they thought, "Everything needs gauge!"

And then the complaints that came when the actual changes did land, too. Like WAR's gauge at first cutting the gauge in half when you stance swap. Intended to be a balancing to WAR but was like a gigantic slap in the face nerf, because it meant at best you would lose 0 GCDs(if gauge empty) worth of gauge building and at worst, 6. The fights would dictate when you swap, and the player conclusion was just make WAR not use tank stance at all. Which was a time when Inner Beast still had mitigation. Intended as a balance because WAR's tank stance swap didn't eat 1 GCD like PLD and DRK's did(and for PLD and DRK it only ate the GCD on activation.) Player unrest around that got them to fix it by 4.1.

Seems like after Stormblood, Devs have mostly taken to doing complete reworks. Dumping entire combos. Eliminating DOTs. Eliminating upkeep rotations. It's all baby town frolics.

People have spent the last week malding about changes to one job so I don't blame them for not announcing the changes to all of them in advance

People won't be malding if they didn't gut that one job, so whose fault it really is?

“Why are people so unhappy that an unpopular change is being put through. This is definitely justification for us to hide other unpopular changes till the game goes down”

God we’d still have toilet paper lilys if this mindset was around in SB

I was under the impression that we shouldnt expect big job changes before 8.0
