What do you mean it has a falloff? Post level...I think the notes said 78... It's a 100% chance of refreshing the DoTs on the spread targets. I believe at that rate you can literally never cast DoTs again if there are 2+ targets.

The potency of the DoTs spread by Bane is reduced.

I'm legit-legit stoked that two weeks before Shadowbringers released, I half-halfheartedly mentioned on the forums (here) that I'd love to see the crowned winged-lion as a mount.

And it is is freaking happening.

Thank you Dev Team.

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.

I'd love the Notorious Monster Hunter title. Honestly though, even if we had far more notice of the closure of Diadem's battle achievements, I still wouldn't deign to go back in there in its current iteration.

All things considered, they should have attached "Notorious Monster Hunter" or something similar to Eureka's NMs ages ago. There were far more opportunities to kill NMs there, with various spawn methods through placeholders.

Then the prelim path notes drop saying exploratory missions are being removed and the achievements will no longer be obtainable, which means the content behind it will be gone. Not changed. Gone. Here's the blurb from the notes so you can see how clear it is they are flat out removing the entire thing:

Exploratory missions have been removed.

The following adjustments have been made in accordance with the above:

Exploratory missions will no longer appear in the Timers window.
Exploratory missions will no longer appear as a duty in the Party Finder menu.
Achievements related to exploratory missions will no longer be obtainable.

Whatever the new Diadem is, it certainly looks like it will not let you obtain anything from the old Diadem ever again.

It is likely they are changing the system to work like Eureka. Instead of trying to queue in with a Full Party you queue in solo. They are likely also removing the distinction between Trials of the Matron and Trials of the Fury. The Achievements being permanently removed (if any) are likely the "Feet/Hands/Head in the Clouds I-IV" and "Have a Haillenarte I-IV" achievements which are based on evaluation and completion as those systems will likely be removed replaced by other achievements.

Crown of Thorns I-V, Crowning Achievement I-III and Gem and the Hallowed Lands will likely return along with all current rewards once they finish the Diadem update in addition to new rewards and achievements.
