Thread: Patch 2.5 Preliminary Notes Discussion

Party Role Requirements
Parties matched automatically via the Duty Finder will comprise 1 tank, 2 healers, and 5 DPS. Parties formed prior to registration must also meet these role requirements.

Does this mean SE is enforcing 1 tank 8 man parties or will it still be plausible to mt/ot 8 man parties?

They already did that in ST. Only way to go with another composition would be with a full premade alliance.

It used to be that if the other 7 left instance before you could pass item, it would fall to you. Now it only falls to you if you let time run out.

That coment was in reference to someone claiming that the latter part of your comment isn't true.

Its the same as clicking the X on your duty finder pop-up to accept it at a later time. The wait button is just there so people don't accidentally key themselves onto accept or withdraw as they press a button when it pops, whichever is highlighted by default.

Implying people don't troll already in the DF. You still have the 3 strike rule to deal with.

Yurp, it just minimizes the DF Accept/Withdrawal window, like a ready check you press wait on. It still expires in the same amount of time.

This is just the 1ST update to it, there will be more and it WILL play a role in Airship building l8tr.

Yeah I'm expecting the fully charged wheels to be used as a crafting catalyst of some kind.

As far as I know airships use Aether to move around and the wheel is like an aether storing device while the Docking Station loads the wheels, so I think we can imagine the wheels as a reachargable battery and the Station as a loading Station (pure assumption of course, could be 100% wrong)
