Thread: Soooooo..? How's 3.2, folks..?

I've been enjoying 3.2 a lot.
Both new dungeons were beautiful, Hildy was hilarious (wish it was more than 2 quests though ), and the main story is one of the better patch ones I'd say.
Gnath quests are off to an amusing start, I didn't think I'd like them as much as the Vanu but I was pleasantly surprised.
Not a huge fan of the Sepirot phase 2 theme but the fight was a lot of fun.

I haven't tried Midas yet but I've heard great things about it too.

I only got in the first one yesterday, but there is a mechanic that anyone who doesn't do it dies, rather than if you don't do it, everyone else dies. I like that, I forces everyone to do it rather than on dps ignoring and wiping the team. Only they die, it's beautiful.

A8 boss is completely awesome even the theme music.

That is of course if you're into that thing, like me when I was a kid. Fighting him feels like the 80s again.

So. Now that I've had my morning coffee and see my thread pop up, time to give a synopsis of what I could do yesterday.

1) Did all of the MSQ. To me, they've redeemed themselves with this compared to 3.1. While not absolutely mindblowing storymaking, it was still fairly entertaining and you knew that twist at the end was going to probably happen because things are waaaaaaaaaaaaaay too lovey dovey. Either way, well done.

2) Collected rolls for my music box for the FC; got 9. Easy enough and it's nice of them to actually tell you where you can get the rolls. Currently scouring for one before I logged off for the night with one off of getting the first achievement.

3) Tank changes are noticeable in the damage aspect. Antitower, the first run I did, took a long time with the DPS I had. Felt like the chunk of DPS I did contribute made runs go faster. Sure as heck made my WHM wife bored though with the 20k plus health I got. She was rather surprised that entering a new dungeon we had no idea about, she was able to DPS easily enough and keep me up.

4) Antitower itself was interesting, but I felt it was a bit linear. Felt maybe that they could have added a bit more winds and turns. It was kinda straight forward. Boss fights were neat and not too hard, once you figured out the tricks for it. No wipes, first clear, moved on.

Otherwise, I just mostly took care of the MSQ. Tonight's docket will most likely be a VA run so I can get a Gobdrip to upgrade my weapon to 210 and help out a bit more with the DPS. Then, Hildy time!

...and the wait continues.

Went into Sephirot and Midas 1 and 2 blind with most of my static and really enjoyed figuring out mechanics by trial and error. These fights are more fun and interesting.

I'm not done with the MSQ yet but so far the story is gripping. Although I feel like Ameyric is being way more flirtatious than usual and it's kind of weird.

I still need to run Lost City of Amdapor HM and start Hildebrand.

Haven't gone through too much of it, as yet. But did check out The Antitower. Loved the super creepy final boss, and also appreciated the fact that it was the first boss where I actually had to worry about being interrupted in Wanderer's Minuet on my Bard. However the dungeon itself is the most completely linear dungeon imaginable.

I would say this patch is such a huge improvement over 3.1. Two new dungeons, new trial and new raid! Forget all that LoV stuff and whatnot, and give playable content for largest section of players. Plus the MSQ and Hildy. Good stuff. Also, this makes it so we have more than two dungeons in the roulette for level 60. Anything to break that up is a welcomed change. I also like the new dungeons, as since we will have to grind them for gear, I can see them being very "speed run" friendly as gear increases. Well done.

Containment Bay was definitely an interesting fight reminded e of titan lol.
