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.

Speaking of which. Shouldn't we be having preliminary patch notes now?

[Fenral]

In spite of all the new content, it's not considered a "major" patch by the devs, so we're SOL until servers go down.

I already know how this will end...

SPOILER!

Can't be any worse than Final Fantasy XIII-2.

I don't expect to see preliminary notes ever again after the 2.4 debacle.

I've been dying for uncapped, challenging content. The last thing we got was Shiva ex, and she was a complete joke!

You mean like all the ex modes?

[myahele]

will they do a live letter while the servers are like they did last time

[Sibyll]

You mean like all the ex modes?

Shiva Ex is on a different level of face roll than the rest. Can't remember the last time I cleared Ifrit, Ramuh, Titan or Mog Ex in DF.

Am I going to start finding Zetas under my pillow?

[Eidolon]

You mean like all the ex modes?

Garuda, ifrit, Titan ex during the relevant cycle were a decent challenge, particularly because weak links could cause wipes. They weren't on the level of coil, but they offered a fun challenge for the mid level with decent rewards.

Shiva with a good tank is basically w loot piñata, beat only by t2 enrage

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 could see this, but I don't really know what the point would be. The upgrades (twine/coat/tome) are locked behind either:

1.) A raid, in which case you're already getting free i130 gear or
2.) A weekly, which limits you to one upgrade per week regardless.

You could no life hunts, but it would take a significant amount of time to do that anyway. Free i120 gear should come from grinding WoD and farming Poetics, its a good way to give players gear diversity and allow those who can to get the upgrades they want (weekly/raid). We're nearing the end of 2.0, I dunno what the harm would be in handing out free loot at this point.
