This. After the response to dyeing AF armour, I'd hoped they'd throw us a bone, but of course not.
At this point, everything is leaving a terrible taste in my mouth.
PERSONAL housing was the thing I've been most looking forward to, but having so many things walled off behind houses while that's still not even here yet is off-putting enough that I don't know that I'm even going to enjoy it once it does hit. Plus at this point I full well expect that to be a slog as well (with an expiration date, of course). Or require a recommendation from a FC with a house, just because.

Really wish I would have held off on resubbing for ~ 6 months as it stands...

Servers are out again. An issue with the rate at which gear bonds?

**Appleh4x** · 08-19-2014 08:41 PM

The spiritbond and materia drop changes are unacceptable to me. I find it hard to stay subbed outside of being reliable for my raid group.

**Dark-Saviour** · 08-19-2014 08:44 PM

Yeah... If crafting/gathering materia prices end up doing what I expect, that'll pretty much remove that aspect of the game for me as well.
I was slowly and begrudgingly starting to get my crafting level back up there (and bankrupted myself in the process), but I could see this stopping me dead in my tracks.

I'm not thrilled; I'll just leave it at that. :/

**Mithrie** · 08-19-2014 09:33 PM

I always try and absorb the Patch Notes as a whole and for Patch 2.35, other than a bit of confusion over spiritbonding, I see it all as good.

I read them out and gave my interpretation here if anyone wants to watch:

Thanks for the video, useful. I've read the patch notes, but always nice to have someone read them over for me if i've missed or misinterpreted something. Also, i've seen your other videos on there before, and use them as a reference from time to time, so thanks for those too !

As far as the beast tribe addition goes, i'm pretty excited about this. I found the other beast tribes pretty lackluster, and loving crafting this is straight up my street.

FCs, by their very existence are a negative influence.
Guild systems promote insularity and placing arbitrary value in specific players, not due to being the most compatible or enjoyable to play with, but because you have the same tag over your head.
And it ends up as a cycle since that promotes new players to feel they've got to join a FC straight off, latching onto a 'group' straight away.
But I'm not going to go into full-on rant-mode here anyway since its not going to change anything and I don't have the time for a lengthy debate.

Suffices to say, I find the prospect of FC interaction being somehow more 'meaningful' to be complete and utter bollocks.

Pretty sure u haven't played any international MMOs and clearly didn't see nation specific guilds to easily communicate eh?

**16bitBounty** · 08-19-2014 09:49 PM

This is just SE trying to keep FC relevant. You can get dungeons, find friends, and relay information all from the outside of a FC. By putting these chocobo perks inside them they're just trying to make people use an irrelevant system.
