Thread: 4.06 patch notes up

Which is precisely the point. The devs don't have a clue what they're doing with the job any more. They believed Sustain to be a useless skill and removed it, and yet believed Tri-Bind to be useful enough to be kept. There's no logic in that choice. All of the changes to SMN from 4.0 on have clearly had little to no thought put into them.

*laughs at the Bard quality of life changes*

Bard now indisputably has the best all around package in terms of how skill mechanics flow. Considering how drastic (and overall well-received) the jump from HW to SB Bard was, I almost wonder if the Bard overhaul was a personal pet project of someone on the dev team, while everyone else is working on multiple jobs at once. Because the careful attention Bard has been getting is pretty unreal.

I can see why the change was needed so that they could speed up decreasing the amount of people in the loches, but I dont agree with it. Its basically made it a lot easier for people to get where as those who gained it pre nerf have kind of been shat on by making it more easily obtainable, I know it was in the first place but only by those who had more patience than others and in all honesty farming 6 of them at 2 horns per gold rank wasnt bad at all. The issue with that stemmed from the hoards who flooded the map to get on the kill which caused disconnects and those who refused to put their choco's away, so players lost out due to this.

I'm very glad they decided to increase the drop rate, right now on my server it's currently impossible to get into the instance without having to wait for hours... The faster people get their tacky pony the better.

will still be difficult to get into that instance for the next month or two at least till the numbers of those who have the mount have increased. During that time I'd advise taking advantage of that situation and farming the hell out of the A / S ranks from the other areas if you have multiple instances for the sb maps too. As i see it once those numbers are at a suitable level we'll say good bye to those extra instances

My HB can be more organized again, hooray!

I mean yoshi-p did say that the major job balancing will be in 4.1 so the coming job balancing are merely band aids.

Ya'all need to calm down.

But if 4.1 didn't change much feel free to rage/salt or whatever then.
