Still don't get this.
Releases in 2 weeks, but is impossible to obtain for 7 weeks...

This was literally all announced in a prior Live Letter as part of a slide detailing the SHB launch schedule. How anyone can be even remotely disappointed is beyond me. Following that, we never got meaningful balance changes until the Savage raid releases, for reference go and look up the patch note archives for 4.01 and 4.05, 4.01 was literally just enmity boosts for tanks and a few fluff potency changes.

The new map dungeon has been stated in the patch notes for 5.0 two weeks ago to be releasing in 5.05.

Honestly this community never ceases to amaze me in what they find to complain about.

x.01 have always been more of "this isnt exactly as we intended" adjustments rather than "this isn't working and the players are complaining" adjustments. Those should come with 5.05, after the raid to test it all out.

And I expect they don't want to release things like new hairstyles/headgear for Viera/Hrothgar piecemeal, and will likely release a bunch more at some point. Would like to say 5.05 too but don't want to get ahead of myself, could be 5.1

In Stormblood, those items drop from the V2 Savage tier of the raid, so you can get the weapon by week 3 after getting the appropriate Rowena's token.

honestly, i found the server status updates a better read. Balmung is standard and primal is closed.

edit: i take that back. i didn't notice they opened a couple of the congested ones on primal. looks like a couple on aether are open again too.

If they also drop in the same pattern then it will be about 4 weeks to complete a set and by that time you also start further expanding with tomestone gear.

Supposedly, in an interview leading up to ShB, Yoshida said they were changing the Normal mode loot table so all four tokens randomly drop in each fight. If that's true, you can gamble for the body this week.

It's just the way expansions launches have done it, when the weapon gets released you should have 2/7 tokens needed for the tomestone/item that you trade for the weapon. It is like the same tokens that drop into your inventory as Delta/Sigma/Alpha 4th floor.

Not quite. Hyperion and Ultros are now standard.

The normal Eden Raid will be via Duty Finder, correct? So no groupfinder parties needed / guild needed? This will be the "savage" content?

Sorry for asking, didn't play since ARR Bahamut and that was arranged groups, not duty finder.

You should be able to find parties via queue, since it will be part of the raid roulette.
