Thread: Patch 1.20 Notes (12/12/2011)

Some things that caught my eye!

Moving will be made to interrupt spellcasting at a point in time between patch 1.20 and 1.21.

Graphical effects during spellcasting have been revised for thaumaturge and conjurer.

Character movement speed during active mode is now the same as passive mode.

The accuracy bonus granted to bow attacks based on distance has been abolished. (Arrow burn parties back? XD)

Magic spells have been unified to strike either a single target or, in the case of AoE, a circular area. Attack range has also been increased, and area of effect broadened. * Discrepancies between thaumaturges and conjurers no longer exist

Please be warned that it will not be possible to undo point allotment for the duration of patch 1.20. For your reference, the following is a list of the six basic parameters and the various attributes they affect.

Graphical effects during spellcasting have been revised for thaumaturge and conjurer.

I read it once more the CON section seems to be miss translated or something, there is no shell spell on that list and them saying pro ans shell can be up @ the same time makes no effing sense.

I thought they said Pro n Shell would be one spell. I guess i will just have to wait see.

I...I dont know what I'm going to do first on patch day lol

Ifrit weapons are for raw power. The moogle weapons will feature different stats. (what they are we will see)

holy crap, we can queue actions again!!! They snuck that one in on us.

This patch looks epic.

•[dev1249] The /random dice text command has been added which generates a random number between 0 and the designated value (up to 1000). Results will be displayed in a /say radius. Rolls will be between 0 and 100 when no value is designated.

Return of the infamous casino! ...

Thank you very much for the big changes though, the Moogle Battle looks awesome (I really enjoy the music in the video!), the player search feature will greatly help parties, the reform in class abilities looks nice at first glance as well, etc. Also, there are some minor changes that I feel will add to the game greatly for some players, such as the ambient sound range being adjustable, three new emotes, display of gathering nodes on the mini map, etc.

Thank you for your great work!

Again the type of aoe is dependent of the spell not the class anymore which is better. acc thing from Ra's i don't really care and the pro and shell thing seems to be wrong cause there is no shell spell and shell is included with pro now.
