Thread: Patch 5.2 Notes (Preliminary)

RE: This patch

The Desynth changes are bad. This is a poor change when they've made it easier not 2 patches ago. Certain Desynth breakpoints are absolutely stupid (Looking at you Alchemy and your inability to desynth ANY potion) and the current way helps that.

The Crafting Changes are bad. They keep not wanting people to use macros but I guarantee you within 2 days after the patch a macro will exist. It's inevitable. People find the most efficient way to do things.

The Gil on collectibles? It wasn't used to make money, it was miniscule in the grand scheme of things. It was used to cover the teleportation costs of being a collector.

SE needs to stop completely changing systems one patch and then completely changing them again shortly after. What happened to the steady meticulous developers from the past?

This game is starting to look a lot like World of Warcraft in it's development cycles and that is NOT a good thing. I play FFXIV for stability (one of many reasons), not a roller coaster.

Why exactly are the crafting changes bad? Because you don’t want to spend much effort during a rotation?

I think they were insinuating that you just don't like the change because it takes away macros.

EDIT:

Basically,

"It's bad" =/= "I don't like this"

Welp, there goes Reuse. A skill that has saved so much gil and made me able to regain primal mats. You will be missed.

Yup, that ones make me kinda angry and I don't understand why they're removing it.

It's like I said in my 1st post in this thread some great changes/additions others disappointing some more so.

Yeah I agree fully, and tbh no matter the good ones, the disappointing ones were enough to bring my mood down about the rest too.

Something that is not clear for me from the patch notes. Should we assume that we have to have a gatherer level 70 to start the Qitari tribes quests? I only see that they will be synced to level, but not the minimum level necessary to start them. Sorry if the question is dumb

Since it's ShB content, I would assume that yes, they need to be lvl 70, just like for all other beast tribes.
