Thread: End game players Patch 2.1 Summary

Presume that we get 5 more base (STR and VIT) out of the Allagan Cuirass.

It wold still be Skill Speed and half~ the determination (notice that in the other example of 5 IL of difference the secondary attribute remained the same)

The Wyrm's Mail would still be superior as it has sufficient Critical and Determination to outmatch the extra 5 STR that the Allagan would have.

You're severely misunderstanding the value of main stat in this game. I'd take the piece with 5 more STR, because its the smart choice.

You forgot to mention the release date of the patch. I believe it is Dec. 17.

I would have preferred it a little more towards the 10th but if everything works fine in the patch we should be able to play it over the holidays fairly smoothly and if anything does go wrong, it can be looked at prior to the holidays. In the past, other MMOs have released it pretty much on Christmas week and the gameplay was unbearable and couldn't be looked at till after the first of January and then when it was finally looked at it would be fixed days after.

I'll admit that i'm genuinely more excited for 2.1 than I was before.

Extreme primals are actually going to be worth time. + Challenge of doing them will be fun
Ultima Weapon hard/extreme YES!
CT is useless - Really sad such an iconic dungeon is going to be a pile of wank
Increased options
More story

Pretty excited overall.

What does this mean? Can you be more specific or tell me where in the live letter this gets mentioned?

So farming myth tomes is boring, but farming the same few fates over and over is exciting content. Got it.

If there were just other ways to make your character stronger other than gear that would be helpful for end game progression/characterization at least a little bit.

If we had a merit system/Alternate advancement system, item upgrading via myth, or some other thing, I don't think people would feel so pigeon-holed into raiding as the only aspect to progress one's character. There is plenty of fluff to do in the game to keep you busy but not a whole lot to progress your end game class. And as others have stated there is nothing to progress your character until 2.2 if you've cleared BC (which I haven't - Turn 4).

I still dont get the double flare being a bug, unless there is something im not aware of, the only time i end up double flare is by using convert or a potion that gives me enough for another cast. So if there was some bug that was being used, fixxing it wont affect me in any way or form. More utility would be nice but i wonder what, prob be able to battle rez like summoners cuz that is possible.
