Patch Notes (Preliminary)

[ChaoticCrimson]

Yeah, I found it amusing they chucked so many more tomestones into it. I haven't run either of those dungeons in months, and even after that I probably won't be super tempted to either.

I laughed when I read those changes, the cut-scene changes must be causing some real issues with queues.

As is usual with the forums, it's overblown compared to what's happening in game itself. The queue still moves, people still do it. This just gives someone a reason to do it at 70 instead of only for levelling XP.

"New hairstyleS have been added". I only see one ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I think they just copy/pasted their usual header and didn't think about how the plural doesn't make sense this time.

They never show everything that's been added in the patch notes.

That may be true of emotes, minions, furnishings etc, but I can recall a single time they haven't shown off all new hairstyles. Mostly because they only add about two hairstyles at a time. I'm pretty confident that if they were adding more than one hairstyle this patch, they would have shown more than one in the preview image.

I sincerely hope the community continues to call the new savage UWU despite the official naming.

True, but why only add it now it's been that way for a long time and that is massive increase in stones.

Roulettes are a means to supplement queues first and foremost. They didn't increase the bonus out of the goodness of their hearts to give people more options to cap on tomes, they're doing it to lure people into filling those queues. And they'd have no reason to boost the awards if the queues were going as well as they'd have hoped [takes off tinfoil hat]

As interesting as a lot of other parts of these notes are, I'm surprised I'm not hearing more on what people think about the reward changes to the MSQ roulette.

I laughed when I read those changes, the cut-scene changes must be causing some real issues with queues.

I got a good chuckle out of it as well, I basically interpreted the changes as "please for the love of GOD do the MSQ roulette!".

While it's true the forums did overreact in their usual way (plenty of people were saying it was going to absolutely kill MSQ), SE did also acknowledge that they weren't quite happy with the results on the MSQ roulette and would be adjusting.

Personally, I think I may actually hop back into the MSQ now and then. I'm always down for mindless mendacity tomes.

Quite the contrary, whilst I’d have liked to see a few more tweaks to make Noct more competitive again, the Lightspeed change is good stuff and fixes it’s lack of versatility or the need to click it off when you invariably do all your healing and want to get back to DPSing. To say it’ll be a huge boost for ASTs chasing DPS in dungeons will be an understatement.

Also note that You wont throw more malefics over a given period of time with these changes so it’s not going to change your MP sitation, rather it’s there to give AST some actual breathing space to get cards done between nukes rather than clipping and stalling their GCD endlessly.

This exactly. Biggest complaint from ASTs I know is the constant CGD clipping.

I REEEEEEEAAALLY hope Embrace is not going to interrupt Fey Union. That would actually be very bad for me.
