Thread: Patch 5.1 Notes (Preliminary)

Things I'm excited for:
1) Nier Automata 24man raid

2) Finally able to solo Rathalos Extreme (like I was playing mhw). Still want this as a solo ex event or (able to SOS jump in any time). Cause this would be as fun. Only wish Squeenix didn't cop out on the gear, and would've much rather had ACTUAL Rathalos gear from MHW. Using "CAUSE MUH LORE" excuse is so overplayed. We can make our avatars look more like humans irl, but that's where we draw the line? Come on man!


Things I'm worried about:
1) Gear that's shown doesn't say whether it's raid or dungeon, and I really hope NEITHER of those sets are Nier based. I'd actually be pretty pissed about it, and couldn't trust squeenix with another cop out flaw (and hope Yoko Taro would put his foot down on this one).

The melee contest winner exosuit-looking gear is the new pvp gear bought with wolf marks. The wolfsuit gear is the new 4-man dungeon gear from Grand Cosmos. I do not believe we have seen any images of the new 24-man Nier gear yet.

whew, that is a relief. I'll have to re-read that if it's patch notes. I kind of skimmed over most of it to the thing I was mostly interested in (job updates) and the small nier stuff. Saw all the gear, but then immediately was worried that might've been and was hoping it wasn't. Thanks!

To be fair gear from the first out of 3 tends to be on the uglier side. Not sure if this is going to be a trend with the new one but I don't have my hopes up.

My guess is that the stuff from the first 24 man will be based more on the outfits the various Androids of the Resistance generally wore, with stuff trending more towards YoRHA style stuff in the second raid and the 2B/9S/2P/A2 outfits showing up in the final set.
