2.15 Patch discussion

[ispano]

Since beetles are relatively easy to kill and there's nothing nearby to kill you, I would assume bots would teleport to each spawn point, AoE them down, then abandon the duty and queue again with another bot replacing the penalized one.

The other thing is how gil from mobs works. It's split. If you finish WP, and go back and solo any beetles that your group didn't spawn, you get all the gil the whole group would, ie around 200 gil a pop. But as others have said, I kill them mostly for SB, since they give the same amount as any other mob in WP, but are far easier to kill.

Well, no penalized players if full pre-made party. But geez... thanks BOTs, you destroyed a small but useful income.

The patch notes are ok, I read them all and I agree with those fixes. I really liked the "vote abandon" buttom. It makes the decision better for the group, since no one will have to sacrifice himself to let the others leave the instance. I also liked the increasement of the beastribes item's price.

There's no penalty if it was a premade of 4 bots.

Kind of sucks that they were abusing it since I enjoyed killing the beetles after everyone else had left the instance after the last boss.

I wonder how RMT would abuse the beetles. It's not like they can be respawned again and again...can they? I personally kill the beetles for spiritbonding EXP.

start WP

kill all of the beetles in the first part, leave and re-enter.

@espon: it's already been confirmed. it wasn't that hard, i agree....the only reason i die in that fight is because it is...so...adorable...

"In order to prevent RMT abuse, bronze beetles in the Wanderer's Palace will no longer yield gil."

ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!?!?!? That was my favorite thing about Wanderer's Palace, and they just took it away D:<

Mind you, its not like I farm Wanderer nonstop but I always went to full all the beetles cause lets face it, EVERYONE could use the extra gil...

awww T_T I liked the extra gil.

^^ no more double casters for pvp, glad melees have a role now. I'm hoping they increased the solo queue exp and mark bonus by a lot..

edit: They didn't really nerf summoners. Miasma is still great. -40% heavy is the main reason I use it, really easy to kite people.

The following balance adjustments apply only to the Wolves' Den:

The status effect Disease no longer inflicts the heavy effect.
In order to prevent unbalanced party compositions when using the duty finder, the following changes to party requirements have been made only for the Wolves' Den.

SMN can no longer inflict heavy in pvp

There's nothing about a third retainer in there. *cries*

Yeah I didn't see anything about it either...hmm well so much for having some breathing room with inventory space.

[MurakumoMillennium]

Players who register for the Wolves' Den solo or in a party of two will receive increased PvP Exp and Wolf Marks regardless of the match's outcome.

PVP bots rejoice!
