Alex drop rates from FATES increased to 99.97% chance.

People would still report that they "never get drops" and that the droprate "should be fixed."

I'd be surprised at uncapped Poetics. I'd love it, just doubtful that would happen.

I only hope so because to me it makes sense. ^^ I mean, we'll have an unlimited source of i130 and i120... There's no reason to throttle our gear at that point.

I hope they get rid of soldiery and just make it all poetics for now (with uncapped poetics). Soldiery is just about useless and poetics probably should be uncapped with the changes to Coil and WoD.

[Arkista]

Yes so Excited! Because after I finish this patch, I'm taking a break from the game until Early Access........ ; ;

A 2000 weekly limit Poetics would be enough.

Uncapped would be a bit too much imo.

Keeping it capped at 450 per week would be weird with WoD and FCoB on farm with no locks...

I have a feeling this patch we will see a small increase to the Poetics cap (like we can get 500-600), then in a QoL patch a few weeks from now they up it to 900-1000 and a few weeks before expansion bringing it to 2000 (or remove the cap altogether).

It's strange to me that people are like super excited for this patch. It's the last patch before an expansion. I doubt were going to see anything huge, just the usual remove this cap add this to this dungeon add this to duty finder. I'm hoping to be pleasantly surprised by something but I'm not holding my breath.

Look at the screenshots. That dragon is HUGE. im so hyped. CM and Praetorium were pretty damn fun before i90+ became the standard. I'm hoping this will be an open world fate, but i wouldnt mind an 8 player encounter either.

No should keep soldiery, that way we can spend a separate currency on stuff pertaining to Relic/Zodiac quest line. And we can continue using poetics for armor/weapon exchange, instead of being forced to choose between relic/zodiac progression or said armor/weapon exchange.

Why have one when you can have two?

When they abolished myths, they didn't increase the amount of soldiery obtained as a reward. While they proportionally decreased the cost of Relic/Zodiac tome exchange, it wasn't the same as being rewarded a huge amounts of myths and some soldiery and splurging on Relic/Zodiac exchange with myths while continuing to use soldiery for armor/weapon exchange.

I'm nearly out of content I care about until the expansion, but uncapping Poetics would at least allow me to gear alts for funzies.

[Steady]

If they open FCOB, then uncapped Poetics may as well go hand in hand.

I'm disappointed before i even see the notes, cause it sounds like all we get in easier gear, easier MGP and a Trial that you probably won't hafta do more than once.

I already know how this will end...
