I guess I'm excited to run Void Ark and the new dungeons. Not excited for the overwhelming amount of RNG this patch looks to be bringing. :/

goodbye world, hello again goldsaucer

[AskaRay]

I'm ready for those exploratory missions (and of course the Void Ark)
Give them to me

[Sandpark]

Pimps. Hope you had fun and get some much needed rest on that vacation.

At this point RNG is slang for "you're not allowed to have what you want, but please keep subscribing."

So you want 100% drop rate? I'm confused, I almost thought this was an RPG and an MMO.

I'd rather have a way in which if I work towards something for a reasonable ammount of time I'm guaranteed to eventually get it. I'm not saying I want things instantly, I'm saying relying 100% on luck is stupid.

wow a smart player who gets the point of why to much RNG sucks on mmos. glad to see there is still people like you

sadly the 100% luck based best gear thing is a common theme on 99% of all eastern mmos. which is why they keept failing on the west because we dont like LUCK = GEAR we prefer EFFORT/CHALLENGE = GEAR. this new feature has to potential to ruin ff14 if they use the typcial eastern mmo elements on it -.- which i sadly fear they will. whats the point of adding tokens to savage mode drops when you put better gear elsewere with even worse rng? may aswell not have added them then at all.

But for the EA missions he did mention that we will get points to get items as well............so maybe those items will be of equal value. I didn't touch much on them .

What does it mean by Mudra latency is being fixed? Are they going to revamp the whole system or they just going to keep the same combination and do something about the latency?

And about the sky exploration, I wonder if it will be similar to PSO2 instance whereas you go in as solo or in party, and encounter another party there.
