[Discussion] Upcoming Hot Fix

[DurtiMonkeyToe]

I'm very excited for this hotfix but at the same time rather worried. Post-release "difficulty adjustments" to content are almost always nerfs... I can't really think of very many situations where dungeons or encounters were made *more* difficult after release unless it was because there was a bug or exploit that made the encounter unintentionally easy.

AK's difficulty is in a good place now, and if it's going to be adjusted it should be increased a bit, not decreased. Doing AK as a fresh 50 was fun and challenging, but totally doable. I think it'd be a shame to nerf it for people who are just now hitting 50 and haven't had a chance to try it out yet.

Yes you can. They did it when they made it so you couldn't just run through AK, let the tank die, and then raise him right before the boss battle. This is going to be more of the same strain of making speed runs not-possible or less-rewarding if there is an actual reason to fight all the trash mobs.

I hope they fix their server and client security issues, which currently are myriad.

I hear it doesn't even exist and it is a troll on the community. Spread it at your own risk.

These patch notes are embarrassingly vague. Like I don't even understand why tell us half of this stuff when it can mean anything.

"The difficulty for level 50 dungeons will be adjusted."

Like I don't know why the devs are being intentionally this opaque about something coming in 4 days. Is it really that hard to tell us what you are adjusting?

Well guess I edit this post then.

I just hope they fix or have already fixed this thing, before it ruins everything.

You might want to delete your post, or at least the link. They are quick to delete threads that have information about that. You may end up getting this thread wiped out for your post.

Implementation of a population cap for each field.
* The population cap is planned to be introduced separately. (Added on October 11th, 2013)

Soooo.... Can we get some actual details on this, considering it was supposedly implemented today?

I'm pretty sure that was referring to the edited statement (the red text).

Oh! xD You're probably right. Still, the statement is frustratingly vague. This is something we really should hear more about.

Leave it to the elitist exploiters to ruin the game. Now people can't even do dungeons without needing to pay for it? They'll really stop at nothing to make sure they take every last gil from the innocents and prevent them from ever catching up gear wise.
