Patch 5.0 Notes

**Krokov** · 06-26-2019 05:17 PM

The weekly restriction on receiving Cracked Clusters upon clearing the Orbonne Monastery has been removed.

So does this mean my weekly restriction applies to all items or just the crack clusters, in other words will there still be a weekly restriction for all but the clusters?

They remove the weekly restriction for regular items long ago.

Everything else in Orbonne is already uncapped. Clusters are the only thing still capped.

Apparently having uncapped framerate has to do with how bots zip around maps? I'm not 100% sure, that's just what I heard.

But honestly, with a 120hz monitor, I hardly see any visual difference after the fps goes above 60. I'm not upset at all if it gets capped at 90.

0,1% wipes incoming soon. Look forward to it!

I feel like this should also exclude players on the free month for purchasing the game for the sake of preventing the gil farm bots from clogging the queues.

That would work but there are probably going to be a lot of new players with the amount of publicity and hype this expansion has been getting. I'm pretty sure SE isn't going to want to alienate or anger thousands of new subscribers right out of the gate.

This might negatively affect some people, even though they are far from being the majority of the players.

I am biased towards having uncapped FPS though, but I am more concerned about the reports about capping your FPS on XIV causing people some issues.

From what I understood they are just replacing the Unlimited FPS with the 90 FPS max without adding anything else to the options menu.

Whenever I tried to use the frame limiter it would always perform worse than unlimited, like I ususally hover around 90-120 on uncapped with occasional dips down to 60, but if I put the 60 cap on it dips down to 40.
