[Discussion] Upcoming Hot Fix

[texhnolyze]

I really hope they don't do something this retarded. That will ruin the experience for other people so much.

Not only will some people not be able to do the behe/odin fates, but what about other people that are just trying to get into those zones to level or gather. so dumb.

Some gathering points only spawn at certain times so they may hinder some people from actually getting those items.

yes, it's stupid
but i can't think of any other possibilities

Similar to Prae and CM, they'll make it so you can't just use cannons on everything and skip through areas. Not that you ever really could in Prae anyways, but it is/was stupid easy.

the cannons are meant to be used like that, that's why they're there in the first place
if they want to make the dungeons harder, they'll have to adjust the aggro field of view of the mobs
right now, they can't see/feel us if we run pass them from behind

Guild Wars 2 had a pretty nice solution for population issues in zones, have temporary instance of a zone you can play in until the full zone is no longer full. There's plenty GW2 did wrong, but that is one thing that was pretty awesome about that game.

lame so my vanya robe is gonna spiritbind.

on the subject of dungeon nerfs i think it needs to happen. this is speculation on my part but i think dungeons were balanced around a generic party setup like war/whm/blm/bard thats a lot of aoe that other party setups wont have. so i could see it being something simple like reducing the hp of the adds.

The number of areas where you can acquire Allagan Tomestones of Philosophy and Mythology will be increased as well as the amount you can acquire.

This is the part that I don't fully understand. The second half, the word can in particular, is very ambiguously worded. Do they mean that existing sources of Philosophy/Mythology (AK/HM Primals) will drop more Tomes or do they mean that the weekly cap for Mythology is going to be raised?

People have been speculating and debating over this since it was posted harder than the current discussion on Obama-care. No one knows for certain until either we get the full notes or we log in when the servers come up.

I figured as much, it was more of a shot in the dark to see if a dev had posted regarding it. Here's to hoping they increase the cap and it wasn't just an error in translation. Grammatically speaking they said that they were going to raise the amount that it is possible to receive but it usually isn't so black and white when it comes to patch notes.

I betting, that the new place to farm tomes will be Aurum Vale ;P

I don't get the point of the bound thing as it cant be traded anyways... and no idea what wasn't being bound that can be traded...

Every time I come to the forum, I get sad. Every time I see these updates and hotfixes, I get sad.

95% of this game is already a casual cakewalk. Classic single player RPGs required more effort and skill than this game. And yet tons of cry babies infest the forums because it still isn't good enough. Then SE comes and fixes what was never broken. Gathering was one of the very few things in the game where you couldn't hit max level in a couple of days and they are already changing it. I got stacks and stacks of diremite web and fleece without ever farming a damn thing. I got to lv50 weaver without spending a single gil. And they are making that easier for the cry babies. I have made millions of gil with little to no real effort but since gil doesn't rain down on the whiners automatically, they run to the forums and tell us about their terrible day.

It seems the only real MMO game left is Eve Online.

The community ruins this game for me. I like the game. I like the crafting system. I like the gathering. I like playing the market place. The world is beautiful. The cutscenes and story are very fun. The music is great. But this game is right next to being an instant win button. Modern MMOs aren't made for me. I want that classic MMO style where being max level actually meant something and where there were major accomplishments that were actually rewarding. I miss the classic MMO where it was actually an alternative universe that you could almost live in rather than just Diablo with more people.
