Patch 2.56 comming April 21

[Gralna]

Hope they allow us to turn in soldiery gear for gc seals.

No mentions on Zodiac loot drop rates? I hope they increase Zodiac Loot drop rate for this patch as well since I still have a few friends struggling with their loots until now.

I'm still on my Novus. But I know it's wishful thinking to have Light values doubled yet again...

I suppose it's about time for that. I have a fair few friends who haven't cleared 9 yet, mostly because they've been told it's hell and also because very few players want to go back to it once they're in FCoB. We do FC events where we get people clears like that, but I guess not everyone's so lucky and has to find capable players themselves.

Most of the actual strong players I know enjoy the fight. On our server there's a lot of people helping others clear that T9 just for the fun of it. On my experience it's usually the people who barely clear it that never want to go back.

Tbh I don't know what to think about FCoB nerfs. Easier to farm T13, yay, I guess? There will probably be a ton of Final Witnesses hanging around tomorrow lol.

Perhapes poetics cap is being abolished? Coil nerfs sound likely as well.

Hope they allow us to turn in soldiery gear for gc seals.

This, I would very much like to be able to do this. Stupid things have been cluttering up my inventory for ages.

I don't want echo but it probably is that...

To the people that say, "why do you care about them easing on old content"... well, not everyone have been in a static for a longer time and progressed through it all... That doesn't mean you're not good enough, or that you want it to get easier.

I took a break some time back, and still had to beat T9 before getting into FCoB, but I couldn't find a static I like, until a pretty long time, when I found some very nice people... but nice and understanding people doesn't mean the group had what it takes to progress far. I'm currently in a static with people I know, and we are trying to beat T12 and go into T13. We don't want it to get easier. They should at least not nerf anything, and there shouldn't be echo on T12 and T13 IMO...

I know you can turn of the echo buff, but really? who does that? The casuals are just gonna go past you with their echo anyways. Echo doesn't always make it much easier, but for example T12, is all about DPS... So it would be much easier.

[Alistaire]

So are most of the players then, considering coil is a reserved game for the 'elites' in FFXIV. But hey, wouldn't want content that can be cleared by just anyone, right? I mean those 10% hardcore players would get bored if they didn't have anyone to pick on for being 'noobie'.

If everything was easily cleared even the 90% "noobies" would have nothing to shoot for.

[MrSeras]

Maybe it's an uncap to poetics? >w>

[Havenchild]

Considering 2.4 issued in FCOB and 2.41 soon after nerfed SCOB, it's safe to assume 2.56 will be nerfs and 10% echo to FCOB as well as the ability to solo queue, alongside some QoL stuff.
