Thread: 4.58 Patch Notes

Not really complaining since I'm fine with it either way, but Pyros/Hydatos nerfs would have made a lot of sense.

It would convince some of the players who had been hesitant about stepping foot in there and are a little bored leading up to ShB to give it a go and complete a relic or two. Anything that keeps their players occupied is good from a business perspective.

No Hydatos nerfs.

Why would there be a Hydatos nerf? It's one of the easiest ones to level up and get the items you need. I was level 60 the first day and finished my weapon like 2-3 days later. I've casually finished 2 more weapons since.

Because crystal gain is absolutely abysmal. It takes far too long for more casual players to finish anything, especially if you're after armour as well.

They won't nerf Hydatos until 5.0 (hopefully by giving everyone maximum level at the onset or dramatically boosting EXP and the level cap so as to make most things soloable, and be able to exchange crystals for the enhanced crystals that would normally cost light).

The problem is that, unlike the previous relics, these are locked to the zone and not to instances / duties. There will not be enough people prepping or killing NM's in the areas for people to get their relics after Shadowbringers drops.
(Also i'm not really sure where the point about exchanging crystals for light came from. Pagos is really the only place where that matters and it was nerfed several weeks ago. That place is perfectly fine as it is.)

Sometimes a patch is just that.

Perhaps, we’ll see, I plan on capping everything including scrips before Shadowbringers drops =)

the game is practically dripping with ways to get poetics. it's not hard to get back to cap if you spend all 2000 of them.

They're the moogles that come every year and that sell some items (various earrings, a scarf, or a minion, for example) after certain random community goals are achieved. Who knows what they're bringing this year, and why.
