Thread: 3.3 Patch Notes(Pre)

But a whole datacenter can't have Mentor Status just because of a mount. At some point more and more people will want to become mentors (mostly because of the mount, if that's the case), and some filtering will have to be done, like replacing old mentors with new ones, and on that matter I don't think it's fair for someone that likes to help people to lose his "spot" just because someone else want to run 2000 duties and get a mount. If it's a mentor reward it's a lose/lose situation either way. It's not like a tank mount, since "too much people playing tanks" will never be an issue.

No, there is no limit to how many mentors there can be.

But it doesn't make sense for every 60 character to suddenly become a mentor though. If that mount is related to that, we'll end up seeing parties with only mentors because of that, since everyone will want to be one, and that kinda kills purpose of mentor roulette (or the mentos system in general) having more non-mentors and new players than the other way around, I think.

There really is not much reward for doing that roulette besides being a GoodGuy™, so this may be to try making mentor roulette look more desirable in the long run rather than just increasing tomes it gives. (2000 is so many tho @_@)

I just feel the need to say being being a "good guy" should be your one and only reward for becoming a mentor. You get a roulette that gives you tomes that non-mentors don't get and that's enough. If you're mentoring others for sparkly status rewards you're already doing it wrong. (And not you specifically even though I quoted you, I mean all mentors.)

There still needs to be some motivation to keep queuing the roulette and queue it more than once per day. 10 Lore a day means nothing when you cap out on Thursday and depending on your luck you could end up in an EX Primal with people who do not want to learn for 90 minutes.

The rewards are there for those who are truly dedicated to mentoring. I Hope Mentor Will Notice Me VI is just untenable for anyone unwilling to queue the Mentor roulette more than one time per day. It would take nearly 5 and a half years of queuing to complete it only queuing once per day and over a year queuing it 5 times a day (which does not have much of a reward after the first).

Lots of QOL adjustments which is great to see! Things like Waymarks on the mini-map, hiding duty elements, multiple HUDs, looking for raid etc. are welcome additions. Can't wait for the new story elements too =) It's looking to be a good patch.

For the class changes:
- BRD buffs 0.0 I hope this means we'll see more BRDs actually singing
- SMN buff is also unexpected, and really only cements Garuda as the better Egi. Free DPS \o/
- AST I was hoping for more Noct buffs based on a recent interview from Yoshi =(

All I have to say is that someone on the staff must really love Johnny Bravo. Not only because of the hairstyle, but because apparently we can all "Do the monkey" now.
