Thread: Any things you don't like in the 3.0 patch notes?

As for the redistribution of experience in dungeons, those who were doing 'first room only' runs of Vale and Darkhold... you brought it on yourselves. Could have run the dungeons as normal and Square wouldn't have cared one bit. But no, you had to go and ruin it. Good job. /golfclap

Where is all this talk of a DET nerf coming from?

The only change regarding determination in the notes is this:

The effect of determination on auto-attacks has been reduced.

Auto-attacks. Nothing else. It won't affect healers at all and will hopefully mean SMNs can finally stop with the book smacking in melee.

The whole point of that change is to ensure that the core damage of any job comes from their skills and not auto-attacks. The job this will hit the worst is probably PLD as they rely on their autos quite a bit in sword oath.

GC expert supply seals are being reduced, which are the ones where you turn in dungeon and ilvl55+ crafted gear. They never gave any exp of any kind.

lack of DAMN tp meters ingame.

lack of DAMN chocobo summoned while in queue for duty.

DAMN

- Loot System (we can expect people with "Buying loot and carrie")

- no extra space for all these new items!! <.< Just a mean "Go buy a retainer! We need Money! >:P

- PVP (Im no friend of this. It only makes you angry)

- to know that most of the new and nice glamours are again extremly hard to get -.-
(I bet you need a lv60 crafter + new master-books + expensive new Mats bought by MPG ):< )
(Remember the Fenrir mount, many people was like "Woah cool" then "Booo... cost incredible 1mil MPG")

- not any XP gained on all our current lv50 dungeons! (Lol... dungeons more goes useless again)

- we still only have that damn Chocobo to fight with you -.-; (I HATE these birds x: Why cant we change there skin or having 1 of our 8 retainers on our side?)

- no option to disable the battlemusic in openworld maps and/or dungeons. (Didnt played with music over a year! Always the same battle music maded me nuts! @.@) I would like to hear the backgroundmusic on maps only!

Final Fantasy XIV: A complaint reborn will be releasing it's first expansion titled Heavenswhine this week. Please look forward to it.

That would be:

* Specialist actions.

The following actions are shared by all specialist classes:

Level Action
55 Satisfaction
55 Whistle While You Work
56 Innovative Touch
57 Nymeia's Wheel
58 Byregot's Miracle
59 Trained Hand

"Whistle While You Work" had better make us audibly whistle!

I figured with what Yoshi had said before that we'd get at least 1 extra free retainer.

[3.0] Level 50 main scenario quests introduced prior to patch 3.0 will now grant experience points upon completion.

It really doesn't affect me, but my interpretation of this is that characters who don't get the expansion won't gain XP from level 50 main quests, so there's the possibility that non-HW characters won't be able to level past 50. Seemed a little odd to me.

* The difficulty of temple leves can only be increased to +1. In the event your character is two or more levels higher than that of the levequest, you will suffer a penalty to rewards.
* Reattempting a large-scale temple leve will require an additional 10 allowances.

Bad enough that the new leves are limited to only +1, but to be penalized for being over-leveled when the spread is just two levels is a bit much.
Also, boo to failed levequests still costing leve allowances the same as if you'd abandoned and grabbed them again from the levemete. What's the point that makes up for random disconnects? Why not allow a trade-in for a new levequest if you find you can't clear the current one?

Integers are minimum 2 bytes, though, and can have a number up to 32767 (or 65535 for unsigned), so technically increasing the stack size to 999 shouldn't cost any more memory than it's already using. >_> Unless they're numbering by hex, and then that would probably require an extra digit to get above 255 (maybe? I'm not big on hex).
