Thread: 4.2 - the densest patch yet

There is -----too much----- in the patch. So what games are you all gonna miss out on while you struggle to complete content in servers servers bursting with players?

I mean, just look at what we've gotten in this patch. Two dungeons??? Insane! Literally double the amount of content. Maybe next patch we'll get three dungeons? I don't know because the patches are so unpredictable and you never know when they'll throw a crazy curve ball, I literally cannot predict what could be in 4.3... can you?

In my last thread I stated that I would post a positive thread if they put dailies involving snake waifus in the game. I am glad to report that the developers listened. Unfortunately due to budget constraints they must have been forced to scan a baby doll head into the game and slap it on a shrunken down adult Ananta. Then they shipped the update before they animated any facial expressions for it. Ssshe looks like a horrendousss abomination that I'd beat to death with a ssshovel without hessssitation, and tosss in the compossst heap with all the red belliesss that have been coming into my back yard this sssummer.

But since I like their music I'll give them a thumbs up.


I give the patch a 6/10

Alpa is cute, ok?

6/10? Far more positive than most other people on the forums would give it. >_>

Might be a typo for -6/10

I assure you that I did not err when finalizing my review score. I took not only the amount of content in the patch but also its quality relative to previous patches. Although I do not think that the story is as interesting as Heavensward's it is at least presented with the same level of quality, and some of the MSQ battles are quite enjoyable as far as those go, with a lot more AI scripting for the events. Since the raids, primals and dungeon are all meeting a consistent level of quality I cannot fault the game on that front. However, given that the content roll is exactly the same as it was in Heavenward despite being promised more, I cannot give the patch a score above a 5/10 which by my metric denotes an average game. A couple highs here and there will never raise it above that score if I am doing the exact same things to advance my character that I was doing 4 years ago, no matter how well polished it is now.

Where did that extra point come from? Snake waifus.

Patches are rather predictable. I'd say densest patch was the one where we got titan/ifrit/garuda/ ex plus dungeons plus crystal tower.

Lololololol.

I'm still waiting to see what content we get each patch that is "Brand new" and the reason we lost TWO dungeons now per patch. All I see is glamour, QOL, mounts etc. No actual new battle content (i dont include the dungeons, same ol 4 raids etc) Eureka isn't out so...

And technically speaking when they deprived us of one dungeon (In HW days) they said we'd get something new..and now we are missing two dungeons, so we should be getting two brand new content each patch.

And before anyone suggests the glamour closet thing and the saddle bag is brand new, etc..that is not replacement for dungeons and actual battle content..so, no lol.

QoL changes use up the same resources that would of made those extra dungeons. You might think Squadrons, Inventory increase, increasing Housing limit and Glamour Log don't use those resources, but they do.

They need active people looking for ways to manage in-game resources and make sure when content is added the servers can handle it.
