Thread: Patch 3.5 Notes (Preliminary)

Able to summon a chocobo as a full party...god damn nice!

Are they doing the nerfs to umbrites with the patch? I read through the notes but I didn't see anything, but I could have skimmed past it.

Right now to get say a 6x6 square you have to use six of your hotbars placed in a specific position and only use 6 of the slots from each. Being able to do a 6x6 square with just one hotbar instead feels like a pretty noteworthy quality of life change.

These are indeed in 2.0 dungeons, but all of them were added in the 3.x cycles and some of them have truly crummy drop rates. Fenrir in specific took a lot of runs to show his face for me. I would guess that all of these will get shifted to NCP's with 4.0 also.

We'll see if it all happens in June. I was surprised when they did it for the 2.0 cards, so perhaps that was a one off. But with the older content getting quieter with the expansion, it seemed a reasonable design call to make the cards available via the second NPC path.

People have been complaining about expert roulette containing only 2 dungeons since 3.0. This issue has been brought up multiple times and nothing has been done about it until now. 1 year later.

That's good to hear at least. It's still mindblowing because Feast is the competitive pvp but whatever. Frontline is more fun anyway.

Am I the only one hopeful for a Flames of Rebirth music roll?

On the topic of triple triad. I believe the random rule will be replaced by the chaos rule on npc. Playing an npc today that had chaos in effect. The chaos rule didn't seem to apply to the npc. He had the leviathan card and in every single match, that card was always played at the ideal time.

Well the paintings are tradeable (buyable and sellable on the Market Board), so you've got alternatives. I'm sure the MB prices will be outrageous at launch, but you could also ask a friend who has their log completed.
