Returning after a year-long break -- What's new?

[Hailfirekx7]

As the title says, I'm a player returning after a year-long break. Does anyone know of/care to summarize the major changes/implementations since the addition of the Crystal Tower? Thanks in advance for any helpful information. :3

These reddit pages seem to be a good get back into it resource:

"What did I miss?" (Patch Notes, Universal Summary)

2.3 Content unlock locations and requirements

So You Just Hit Level 50 in Patch 2.3

@Shougun: Ah, I didn't think to check reddit. Those are some wonderfully comprehensive pages, thank you very much for that.

@SevValen: Welcome back to you as well! I'm sorry you had to start fresh, I remember how long it took to grind the jobs I have to 50 :c That was a pain.

It's easier now with roulette bonuses, challenge log, beastman dailies.

Albeit, it never was "slow" XD

In the current game, the most popular content are Frontlines, Syrcus Tower (Crystal Tower 2), and Second Coil of Bahamut. Hunts were violently popular until 2.35, now not so much. Also, you're gonna want to get your hands on the newest relic weapon upgrade soon, because supposedly the next Zodiac Weapon chapter's getting released in 2.38, which will effectively make it the most powerful weapon you can possibly get in the game.

The game hasn't been live for a year yet, so i guess you stopped during beta? (well in a few days it will have, which is why we're having 1yr anniversary events now)
Lots of things have happened since beta....

That depends on server i guess...Frontlines dont seem to be very popular, on Balmung. there's usually 30+min que time.
Hunts are about the same as before. lots of ppl, early pulls.
Also for most ppl, they aren't gonna get new relic wep before 2.4, when we get 3rd coil. No telling what we need to do, how long it will take to get next relic...it aint gonna be pretty, i can guarantee it.
They haven't even decided on ilv of new relic, so it might not be the most powerful weps; might be fake, like atma. If it is the strongest, it's only going to be so, for a month or 2, until 2.4.
It's going to take waaay to long, to get Novus, for someone who's been away for many months/a year...

Isn't Frontlines cross-server like the rest of DF? ._.
