Thread: Patch 4.2 Notes (Preliminary)

I think the Devs are getting really lazy with this, the Christmas bear has no justification to be able to fly (it should have the same ice particle effects as Kirin) and neither do these horses

But fat chocobo could also fly. xD

I expect the silliness to escalate further unless they find a way to make ground only mounts viable for travel after flying is unlocked.

I love my warhorse, it's a great mount. It really doesn't need to fly though, it's just going to look stupid without any kind of animation.

How about the magic of Christmas?

I don't even care if other people watch their cutscenes, but I should not be forced to. There's just no good reason for that.

You know, it occurs to me that a better solution would have simply been to prevent people from continuing until everyone was out of their cutscene (or after X minutes, in case someone's a REALLY slow reader and/or went AFK to troll). At least then we could get up, stretch, get a drink, use the restroom, whatever, and not have to spam-click through the cutscenes.

...of course, the best option would have been to shift these to solo instances with NPC companions, but clearly SE would prefer to make Pharos Sirius available to the NPC Squadrons. Incidentally, considering Squadrons really don't seem to have dungeon-specific AI routines, why in the hell can't we use them anywhere we want? There shouldn't be any implementation barriers in four-man content.

Ahhh I always love these threads. People complaining about stuff before they even got to try said stuff. #popcorn

That said, I'm excited for the following:

- Stacks going upto 999 instead of 99
- Being able to turn off battle music in fields, when random mobs target you
- The new housing plots (Hopefully relocating to a medium)
- Teleporting to any of your friend's houses
- The new estate NPC's (wonder what they sell/do) and the increase of NPC's able to use in an estate along with this.
- The new hairstyles
- Glamour system. I'm so ready to clear up some inventory space

Can't think of anything else atm, and I will have to try out all other features before deciding if I like it or not :3

Hi. I have a question. When I have an Alt in another FC (not the leader, just a ordinary member), can I still buy a FC House as a FC leader for my FC?

Not according to info that was posted on the live letter translation.

Oh, that's not good news. Thank you for your answer.
