Preliminary patch notes are up

[Colorful]

In response to gobtwine etc. from hunts, I present:



So you'll be able to get it from:

A: Void Ark
B: Daily/Weekly Hunts
C: A/S Rank Hunts

I doubt that anyone will really need to be doing the A/S rank stuff unless they want their upgrade items beyond ASAP in a patch that doesn't really add anything particularly harder/requiring better gear than what we already had.

So, you know, just don't zerg it? The gear won't be necessary for anything, and you'll get it anyway without dealing with that.

You're going to see parties for ThordanEX requiring full i210 gear except for the weapon after a few days, I guarantee it.

Hunts are the closest you're getting to XI's NMs in this game. Their mechanics are almost exactly the same with exceptions that are gladly absent (like fecking lottery spawns... >,< ). Hunts are also substantially better with how you're rewarded. You get something whether or not you were a top damager or even in a party (I've gotten 10 marks from S hunts just for showing up and shooting it, not bad when you consider the alternative of nothing). I don't get what people really wanted out of it, though if I think of how NMs worked in XI the unrest makes so much sense. Thankfully, Square liked that nonsense as much as players did.

People are stupid, so probably (particularly as weapon is the first thing you should upgrade as it has the highest effect on your ability).

Make your own PF requiring 200 or less. Problem solved.

Yet another patch that still doesn't let you put augmented AF sets in the armoire.

[Gilraen]

Wait, what? Didn't see anything saying that the unsync option was going away, only that Primal mat drops were being moved to the loot coffers.

Undersized isn't going away, but if you remember when you do undersized runs the reward chest is gone. The patch is moving direct drops, like ponies and materials, to the chest. If the drops are in the chest, but the chest is gone...

I said excluding the weapon because I believe the weapon can't be upgraded until a later point, but yes I will be creating my own PF/running it with FC mates. Doesn't change that a lot of that crap will happen, and some people are too afraid to start up their own PF for whatever reason.

Shield Swipe Is now an ability and does not trigger global cooldown.
Recast time has been adjusted to 15 seconds.
Potency has been reduced from 210 to 150.


This is a buff or a nerf?

It's a Pld mt dps increase, which Pld needed extremely badly compared to the other two tanks, and a mt enmity increase by being ogcd. Before Shield Swipe was a dead skill on Pld, but yeah anything that is ogcd is a dps increase for a class. So it's a buff

Atleast SE changed something on Pld.

Thanks!

If it was a dead skill and wasn't being used AT ALL (I don't know it) shoud be a 150 potency increase /15 seconds, so... 10 potency/second, so.... around 70 dps more? That woud be something xD
