Thread: Patch 2.5 Preliminary Notes Discussion

Everything looks pretty great. Nice to see the pony drop rate is going up again.

So, am I understanding this correctly? The new tomestone you need in order to buy a Poetics weapon will be dropping in CT and ST, not WOD?

Hairstyles available for other races.


Does anyone know if based on last patches, does this mean that these will be available to all races or just the ones in the image?

Based on previous patches, they become available for all the races, not just the ones pictured.

Right? There's so many good QoL adjustments - proof SE actually *does* listen to the community.

Edit:
I don't want to be rude to whoever does the patch notes but you guys need to get a proof reader to go through these before you publish them.

"Amdapoor Keep" made me laugh really hard, though. :3

No. What drops is CT and ST is an Allagan Catalyst. That isn't the item which is used to buy the Poetics weapons (that's an Encrypted Tomestone).

How did you miss that?

I'm stupid.

While true, this is not what I was expecting out of Aether Wheel, it does broach some interesting questions. For instance, why? Despite what some people may say, the dev team is not stupid, they know at least roughly how resources flow through their game. Thus it seems unlikely that they would add such a system when you can already afford the best company actions in the game almost full time without too much difficulty (though I do have a relatively active FC, so my mileage may vary). My assumption while reading this is that they are freeing up resources for later. That being, they want FCs to have spare company points for some other purpose down the road. Unlike tomestones, company points are a lot more generic, and could easily be used for future company projects, such as Airships, for instance.
