So i just walked outside uldah...

[Abriael]

I'm going to go ahead and side with Elexia here. While it is certainly fun to see that mobs are spawning at the gates of Ul'dah, or deepvoid mobs spawning at even more camps, it's still nothing interesting compared to what you'd be expecting to see.

Oh, things like radical landscape changes, for instance.

Why exactly would you expect radical landscape changes happen *before* dalamud hits exactly?

Some people and lack of the most basic semblance of logic...

As a matter of fact, they don't have any obligation to do anything. They don't even need to encourage us to try ARR, because anyone that stuck with the game long enough to be able to log in today, will definitely try it.

They're doing something, and it's actually very stylish. But of course some people are never happy.

Pretty sure the expectation comes from the 2.0 PDFs stating precisely this. I have a feeling the falling of Dalamud is what they're actually referring to, though.

well, i mean, it could also, y'know, mean that, i dunno, that maybe, the PDFs were referring to... uhhh...

the map redesign??

Well, no, because the radical changes are on a point on the 1.0 timeline that was a while ago now.

And it just so happens, that time for radical changes have been set for....... Nov 11!!!!

Might want to check that again. The timeline marker is placed on Aug/Sept.

Unless you count the point at the end of the Marker, which means it's pointing to October! :P teehee

The 2.0 roadmap just says "Radical changes to in-game world." I would say Dalamud falling out of the sky and Atomos spawning at the aether camps are pretty "radical changes" to the in-game world. Doesn't have to mean that the planet is going to be turned inside out.

There's that crutch again. Have you ever played a FF game besides XIV? I'm guessing no. Landscape changes can happen by the mere presence of Dalamud. FFIX for example, the mist covered the world simply because of the Iifa tree roots being present, it didn't require wide spread growth until they needed an excuse to cut down on disk data and block off the other locations on the final disk.

I find it kind of ironic you want to bring in logic to a fantasy then fail to remember, assuming you actually have played a FF game before that a lot of illogical shit happens all the time, you know, like the planet using spiritual energy to try to prevent a meteor from hitting it? Yeah that saved the Dinosaurs irl, right?

Sadly, this was stated to happen by the final patch (1.23), it was suppose to really allude to the map redesign even before Dalamud hits, if not..they really screwed up on the wording lol.
