Patch 4.2 Notes (Preliminary)

**Ametrine** · 01-27-2018 04:40 AM

Has anyone else noticed that SE is now putting in measures to prevent players from multi-boxing? The very last update is that you'll get logged out of one client if you sign into another.

As for MSQ, I do wonder if SE intends to tool it so that it's the best method to grind Soldery... the problem is there is nothing to spend Soldery on in SB content right now.

I read this as more of a QoL change for disconnects. Right now if you don't log out cleanly/disconnect and try to get back on sometimes it says that you are still logged in and now with the change I guess it might just auto boot that login? That would mean you could log back in faster instead of spamming it trying to get in until it actually goes through.

Soooo... Where to begin >.> Not doing MSQ roulette for leveling future jobs, that WAR wall followed by DRK is literally a David and Goliath in text form, SMN was dumped into a padded room, (permanently take all your gear) glamour dresser is basically being renamed weapon dresser in my head since weapons are instantly glamour when use is no longer needed and no other job will be able to use those weapons either, recycled zeta weapons is cheap in terms of keeping the relic weapon model unique to one aspect of the game, yay universal glamour prism and not having to hold onto clear prisms and all craft catalysts if a prism type is needed, plus a few other things. I don't know. There's more good than bad happening in this patch that has me happy, but damn, the bad that's there punched me in the gut.

Gotta admit, I was more saddened by the fact I wouldn't have a high enough ilvl to do Savage and Extreme on release day (why I wish Savage had been delayed so we could properly gear for it without rushing), but looking deeper, some of these changes are really ehh? I'm just putting up thoughts as they come to mind.

This MSQ roulette change basically ensures I'll never do it. There's no reward for doing so, not even the smallest hint of mendacity tomes. I guess this means no alts in my future unless I can jump potion them, because this will really hurt the queue times. Heaven help anyone who's a DPS in ARR. I feel really bad for anyone new playing the game. I hope not being able to get through MSQ won't dissuade them from continuing.

The SMN changes reinforced why I ditched the class for BRD. I don't see myself going back to SMN ever again and that was my main class up until the end of Stormblood. However, I do love the change to SCH. Can't tell you how many times Excog got wasted in dungeons. Stacks are a precious commodity, haha. The only other thing I want from SCH is fairy adjustment (seriously, why the delay on Whispering Dawn or the outright ignoring of my commands so they can cast Embrace? ;u

.

I do worry about glamour dresser. In reality, anything I put in there is easily attainable again and I'd never wear it by itself anyway... but I just know not being able to get it back will bite me in the ass someday. I do like the universal prisms and I have like 30 various ones hanging around that'll immediately come in handy come Tuesday.

It seems like a lot of class adjustments simply weren't needed, though. Or they did nothing to address problems. But that's pretty par for the course at this point.

Dark Knights got a buff in meme power, I'm impressed. Joking aside, someone did the math and we got a 0.5/6% dps increase and a QoL change that should have been there from the beginning.

You're failing your player base with changes like these as it's just showing pure ignorance at this point.

The dungeons themselves give 20, and are also being adjusted.

Is xp being adjusted too?

Really not sure what they were thinking with the MSQ roulette. As many have said, they just made it unplayable now. Job balances are well...I've no words for it. While I like that we get to add more merchant npcs to our plots, I'm a bit disappointed that everyone gets access to my house except for my alt.

Also, I think it was bad idea to add more ARR dungeons to squadron command missions. ARR dungeons don't nearly give as much xp as HW dungeons and unless they increase the amount of xp we'll get from those lvl 50 dungeons, it's pretty pointless to add them. And what was the point of food having item levels?

Not trashing this patch, but it seems like a lot of unnecessary and bad fixes for stuff that either didn't need it or couldn't been handled much better.

Sidenote: I laughed hysterically while reading the patch notes.

OMG the new minion is a ferret!

That being said the new crafted gear is dyeable void ark gear.................
This whole expansion has been kind of iffy on glamour that I like really, the only think I've found myself really wanting is that Thavnairian wool dress which due to how rarely the mats drops and how much it is on the mb isn't gonna be anytime soon..........

Here's hoping that the wool falls under the "adjusted drop rate" for Lost Canals.
