I'd wager most people who enjoy PVP in this game would give the lore thing a pass if it meant faster queues and the ability to play with friends.

If there are 72 paying customers in the queue who want to play Frontlines, the queue should pop. Oh but wait! 35 of them are from Maelstorm? Sorry folks...

New crafting tools & tomes look like they r gonna cost u ur first born baby & both ur legs now.
That "lucis" name....
Slaughter FL seems like a basic tdm = might be the more popular go to thing vs the original base capture FL.
Cuz u know half the time ppl just want to kill each other? ( WD habits lol )

Someone needs to post a pic on day 1 of "that" guy who afks in mor with their omni pony mount.

Everyone gonna be spamming new primals/ boss instances due to no new end game content.
So expect to be out of the loop if you don't do learning groups on week 1.

Trade gc seals for alexandrite?
Plz se

QoL updates yayy!

Hey, at least I'll finally never be able to change my hairstyle again - ever xD!

Great QoL fixes and content - definitely enough until expansion imo

Why is the World of Darkness using the same loot lock system as previous CT and ST raids? Didn't Yoshi-p say at one of the fan fests they were looking at a different system for handling drops?

Q3: Will the rewards for the new chapter of Crystal Tower include the materials needed to enhance Ironworks equipment?

A3: We’ll introduce the upgrade items as loot, but they will be separate from the weekly reward since players were having trouble deciding which piece of loot that they wanted last time.

Ok so it seems the Poetics upgrade item will be seperate lootable drop. I hope its got some kind of a lockout though. The unlimited lockout doesn't seem to be working as intended in ST. Has anyone tried to get sands/oils sense they unlocked it? If your lucky you'll get one after maybe 5 runs. If your not lucky you'll wait 40 runs. It takes less time to teach people second coil, and farm that. Before the lockout it was easy to acquire. Maybe like 2-3 item lockout on it per week?

I'd much rather be allowed to grind WoD for the poetic upgrades until i get what I want rather than only be allowed the "chance" to loot 2 a week in coil. For people that PUG, the odds of looting those items suck compared to having arrangements with a static.

Additional rewards have been added to the following Ixal daily quests:

West for Fishing / Your Gil's No Good Here / Mining for Compliments / A High Wind in Ishgard / Bring Your Own Ectoplasm / In Case of Emergency / We Fly High (Squawkin') / Deliverance

This makes no sense to me... What they need to do is retroactively go back and add additional rewards to all the other beast tribe quests... I do not need more reasons to do the same dozen Ixali Dailies, quite frankly I'm sick of the damn things... I wish I could do any of the other quests, but since they gave us Ixali Oaknots that just isn't happening...

How about making the reward for reaching Allied with all the tribes be that every quest gives you Oaknots? That would be great. You do all the quests, and your reward is getting to do any of them (so basically, your favorite ones) without forgoing the massive reward that is Ixali Oaknots... I really feel sorry for players who didn't do Dailies as they got added, because they either miss out on a load of Oaknots, or miss out on half the quests because Ixali Dailies are the best ones you can do...

This is actually a fair point. Increasing the reward for the Ixali dailies that were easily the most lucrative already seems odd... Giving us more reasons to go back and do dailies for the other tribes would be nice.

It's to get the new Kirin mount. Quite why they need to reward those people for already having insane RNG luck in just getting the damn things in the first place is beyond me.
