Patch Notes Up

[Lyrai_Celestine]

I'm sure 4.06a might also fix other problems related to their server infrastructures. I'll just say 4.06a is some sort of preparation to move forward to 4.1, because once that patch comes out the servers are going to be awfully congested again, and SE might want to ready up and stabilize the servers as much as possible before opening up new contents. Other than that, PvP balancing continues and it's pretty hot in there.

It takes 8 hours to implement some minor PvP changes!!!!! What gives people?????????????

I'm certainly not too tech-savvy, but infrastructure maintenance sounds time-consuming. If it takes them 8 hours to do so and fix a couple bugs and make other changes, then it takes them 8 hours. Let them do their thing. They wouldn't be doing this if it wasn't necessary.

Wow some people are scarily addicted to this game..

It's 8 hours. Go do other things.
Your life is not going to end if you aren't logged into the game every waking moment of your day.
Relax.

[Mocita]

The changed made are for PvP only, so IDGAF.

[Sandpark]

Ugh, potencies get nerfed which means having to spam more skills to kill stuff. One of the things I can't get on board with personally.

It's like trying to kill a mammoth with a little stick.

Oh wait... This is PvP only? If so overreaction.

[Legewiel]

I comprehend quite well. That is the standard blurb for all patches. Are their systems so fragile that it takes 5-8 hours every patch to fix them? Something wrong there Fanboy.

I think they turn off all computers and make a party with barbecue and only come back 8 hours later and turn on everything again! Yoshida is well know for liking barbecue... they can't trick me, I'm sure they turn off it cause they need to use the socket to light their electric grill!
Oh boy, i wish they would at least share some of that delicious barbecue with me...

To be fair, a lot of us have full time jobs; It's not really every waking hour, just right after we've had a long day at work and want to get some dailies in before bed.

Not that I don't have other stuff I could be doing; I'm just tired of these people calling others obsessed/addicted every time they gripe about not being able to log in when they actually have the time to do so. Just stahp.

[PocketVolcano]

Scholar and Summoner still not fixed...

Eh? You can do your dailies tomorrow. There is no dire need to do get them done every single day.

So you miss a day. Big whoop.

The game is very rarely down for maint, and even less-so during NA prime time. Guess what? In my region of the world maintenance always falls between 4pm - 8pm.
This is an "issue" for many other regions in the world for every maint. You are constantly being catered to - but oh no! God forbid it effects NA players once in a blue moon! Everyone throw a tantrum!

[Bakabridget]

So this patch has basically nothing in it and yet the maintenance takes 8 hours? Is it just me or does FF14 have like way more downtime than other mmos? Are square really just incompetent? A few minor balance changes shouldn't take this long, and who even gives a fuck about pvp? I tried queueing for it for the first time yesterday and couldn't find a single match. It seems already dead and I'm not surprised, the pvp always did seem like miles behind wow's.
