What are the biggest changes in XIV since October?

[Evangela]

more people quit

that's the biggest changes

[Betelgeuzah]

Management changed, old plans were scrapped, new plans were made.

That should tell you enough.

[TonyMontana]

more people quit

that's the biggest changes

This is probably the most honest answer. in October the servers had hundreds of thousands of people, now they have a small fraction of that.

[Seif]

Mostly just very small tweaks so far. They added quest but they're like leves without sp from killing the mobs.

The major changes haven't happened yet nor do we have any dates for when to wait for them or know what they are.

- Notorious Monsters that drop stones to trade for special gear/gear components
- Sidequests
- Improved Market Wards (search)
- Lots of other small fixes to many varied things

Wow, guys. Good to know the community of XI decided to jump in to XIV just now. T_T

I think the point is, since october there has been so many changes, listing them all would serve no purpose, as you may only be interested in some.
To answer your direct questions though, no you do not need to pay yet, the bonus sp/xp system is still in the game, as is the "gathering fatigue" system

The biggest change since oct is they shut the servers down the other day so you cant play now like you could back in oct.

Hahaha.

Ok if there were 100 problems at launch there are now like 75 problems. If that tells you anything. You should upgrade your PC and get in on the action. We're all having fun in the game in our "beta phase 5".

I'm surprised no one mentioned the increased size of monsters. That was a major change for me.
Alongside the repeat synthesis, inventory sort and aggro icon above monsters. ;P

Nice community we are building guys..............

they fixed some animations to speed up gathering and such.
they fixed the sp so leveling is a tad easier both in parties and solo
sp is no longer by hits.
They increased the size of some mobs to be ff esk
they added and changed a market ward item search, and lets you mark the retain to find them faster
they added side quests for hint lore purposes. Its not anything direct.
They added an Aggro Icon to agressive mobs, but you still need to learn how to avoud them

they changed passive/active combat mode switching and added a light visual on the mini map.

Npc have a tasteful ff esk ! so they are easy to spot.
levequest are now easier to get a quest from based on rank.
they changed the crafting window to be a bit more seemless.

Thats all I recall from reading link and watching youtube vids as I'm waiting for ps3.


sorry but most of the replies to this thread are needlessly rude.
Its not baby siting to anwser someones question with other then a "look it up"

[darkstarpoet1]

they have made quite a few changes and imo some were good and some were bad, but i think your question is the biggest thing they have fixed. to me the biggest fix they have made since october was you no longer get the "cannot find directx device" error every 5 minutes.
