Patch Appreciation Thread

[Eekiki]

Things added in this patch need improvements in the future, especially minor things like animations, leg one for mode swap is clumsy, doesnt fit to the game, so I hope thats not final form.

It isn't. Devs said weeks ago animations would be missing and/or sloppy in this patch, and they will be fixed in later patches. It also said it right in the patch notes.

Still a bit wait to have all in the right place but it's going to be a great game, after all.

All the new tracks are awesome.

edit: secret bosses whoooo

the moaning of dissatisfied players is like a fire siren in a burning village where the fire station is located the middle. It doesnt matter how loud they whine they're still gonna BURN. R.I.P to the overpowered-ness

Bravo SE! Excellent start to a new beginning of FFXIV.

Played the r25 dungeon and had a blast!

Keep up the good work, Looking forward to 1.19 and beyond!

I like the delay system (hate press 1111111111 and lost all the fight if a receive a phone call (not on mobile)) and finally a dagger have different speed froma great axe or other.

Love the balance and the tactical and managing MP work that i must do with my mage.... like in FFXI

Love new animation for WS

Love the new graphic option (-5 -6 degree on my VGA with same settings)

And love the little higher difficulty..before Solo NM is too easy and there is nothing really challenging^^


NOT LOVE: repair system...definitively i hate durability.

I was up till 5 am last night to check things and I haven't even seen all I wanted yet but so far I am really loving this patch and it brought a ray of hope for the future of this game.

Thumbs up!

Definitely better than I expected. I like the direction the game is going. Please keep it challenging. Only been in the 45 dungeon so far, but it is a lot of fun!

The nerfs were needed and honestly I don't have a lot of sympathy for anyone who didn't see them coming a mile away.

I have to admit I have been worried, but now it seems to me like the game is in good hands!

I like how there's some more content to do (this may be the initial server rush getting to it in effect).

I like how group tactics either have to change or healers have to adjust to accommodate the adjustments in healing.

I'm glad I waited to rank up. I feel I will have a more balanced experience than the way it was since November.

Ranking up I feel will be a bit more distinct than the usual multi-heal spam having the same potency as a single heal and costing the same MP. Although the MP cost of a single heal has me concerned. I haven't run into an issue yet in party play between Siphon MP, Spiritbind, and the 10 min MP back.

Healing, MP management, measures to preserve self (Bloodbath, Speed Surge, Second Wind, Aegis Boon) play a larger role, those Ethers in my inventory may finally get used.

Marauder feels a lot more powerful, although perhaps too dangerous. At rank 31, three r40 behest pterocs that normally would wipe the floor with me were solo'd in eight seconds (due to leftover TP, Broad swing, Brandish, and Steadfast kicking in from figuring out why autoattack wasn't working turning into a cone Skull Sunder). While I finally felt mighty, I felt something was also off. (Not my aim, har har)

Love to see the direction the game is heading, excellent BGM changes. Doing the company quest with the new music makes me get that feeling I had when I first starting playing FFXI. Love to see balancing of classes finally, can't wait to test out each class and get a feel for how things are moving. Glad to hear each class is getting its own place and it should be moving away from ARC+THM raping everything with other classes just for incaps or filler.

Love MP management and I look forward to future balancing that is sure to take place after we get some play time under 1.18

Want to keep this thread up.

I love the new dungeons.

I loved that you save Moogles in the Gridanian dungeon.
I love some of the new armour, nice stats.

I am perfectly aware that there are some things that need rebalancing and adjusting, but whining and just flaming the entire forum is not worth it, just makes me sad.
So if Yoshi-P and the devs see this, please don't take it to heart.

I am not trying to blindly praise anyone here but the tone of the forums at the moment is unbearable. I'd rather concentrate on the nice things that do work instead of raging about what does not. It was mentioned, they got the point, ok now move on.
