Great Patch!

[Geesus]

So far the patch is nothing but a god send imo. My whole LS had a blast figuring out what's new, what changed, how does this new w/e effect this spell, this buff and so on. We did notice balance issues but not bad ones all issues we as players could take advantage of. If you figured out what we did Durst, you would NOT be upset LMAO. Trust me, you can severly power level with ease to 50 or w/e it is you want to do. Personally, not going that route. We all noticed our Mages gained HP while losing some MP pool but, most of us had so much MP we didn't know wtf to do with it all so this was a nice change and a challenge for us. Siphon MP I/II is RIDICULOUS now on living and dead mobs... Yes, you don't have to go out and find mobs 10+ levels above you anymore to get massive XP. They did balance it out to more the EM,DC,EP stype XI mob stat. So now you can actually work up your job in areas you won't or shouldn't be worried about crazy aggro.

IDK, spend some more time playing instead of complaining and try to see WHY things were changed as they were and try to understand how it makes the game BETTER and not so bland.

I am really tired of all the *** from this community. the damage is not less its *** balanced it will increase with gear and new spells/skills. This is an MMO single mob xp should be doable but not the best way to get it period. Healing is not slower. You just can't cant cue spells now. They off set this by raising the amount of healing DONE I was doing 750 before patch and now I am healing for 890, they also increased HP pools. WHICH BRINGS ME BACK TO BALANCE. it now makes sense that a rank 30 mob does not break my Stone Skin 2 in 3 hits now its takes a mob 6 to 10 hits if they are not close to my level. Anyway my point is if you don't have evidence to back up your claims then shut *** up... I am not saying this because i am raging I am saying this because I want this game to be great. I really do appreciate the hard work this DEV team puts into the game and I am looking forward to the future of FFXIV. My conjurer has never worked better thanks to this patch not to mention that AM spells actually work now lol, I don't get 2 shot with full buffs from mobs almost the same rank as me. Passive casting, and damage calculations that actually make sense.

Oh yeah i hate some of the people on this forum too.
Don't know why they are on these forums... They can always go play some WoL.. World of Lowlifes :-)
I love the patch and i LOVE the chocobo's
FFXIV is becoming a master of the MMO's

Love the patch so far.

everything got rebalanced from the scratch, so its up to us to figure things out and test it before we are complaining.
It was the same about the "nerved" cures. After a few days nobody complained about not having enough mp.

I play an mmo because i like grouping. Exactly that is now so much better imo. Also the solo leves are better, not easier but you can chain and get more xp then before. Party now makes more sense then before and is more fun. And i like the fact that not every mob dies after 1-2 hits. It now takes a bit longer to kill. So there finally is room to use the skills instead of spamming.
Another good point is the fact that you get rewarded for links. This is the first patch that really changed a lot and i think its a big step in the right direction.
The change to spells like flare, etc. also is a good change, even though the animation is still sub par (but that will change with blm i might guess)
Ofc <3 to the chocobos and airships. The new added mobs look awesome as well.
im pretty positive also because we could see some tiny bit of the plans for the redesigned areas, gear, etc.

Hands-down loving this patch so far - and I haven't even experienced all the [new] content it brought yet!

[Cicatriz]

I can get used to the new balance but the new battle mechanics without queuing skills/spells feels clunky on a controller as CNJ.

[Altera]

Was clunky at first, but ive adjusted. I have no problems anymore. Patch is very nice. People just need to learn how to adapt to changes. I cannot believe there were so many complaints just 1-2 hours after it went live.

Its like a friend of mine who wanted to try another mmo after playing WOW for 6 years. He gave it 1 day, 1 single day and said. Game is too hard. He never gave it a proper chance, and I feel majority of you who complained about this patch hasnt either. Plus all changes hasnt been released yet. Who knows what changes 1.19a,b,c will bring.

Have patience people ^^

Lol was that FFXI? If so I don't blame him!

As much of a proponent of MMOing in an MMORPG, I do find that I still solo a lot as well and my experience with soloing in the game is pretty good after the patch. Just need to hit the right mobs and actually pay attention in battle now.
