    You do realize there's an ocean of difference between being easy and being the hardest content that segment of the game has to offer right?

    But I guess not in this world where it's only black or white.

    And if they're higher ilvl than the relics. . . doesn't that negate the entire DOH relic process of this expansion? The entire point of a relic is you build the best weapon the expansion has to offer over a longer period of time.

    Right now the Penta-melded HQ Aesthete's is better than the current Relic. The next step was supposed to make the relic beat that item. Guess not.

    Veteran healers don't care if we need to heal, but right now we don't. We want interesting things to do during the downtime other than a 30s dot and a single filler spell that hasn't changed from lvl 4 to lvl 90.
    Dead DPS do no DPS. Raised DPS do 25/50% lower DPS. Do the mechanics and don't stand in bad stuff.
    Other games expect basic competence, FFXIV is pleasantly surprised by it. Other games have toxic elitism. FFXIV has toxic casualism.[/LIST]

    Do we know it's only pre-formed? The patch notes don't specify but they do mention only the leader's settings matter, so that does sound like pre-formed. I hope so, since I wouldn't want to be forced to do just ShB duties all the time in Leveling just because I'm 80 and get matched with other 80s.

    Yes, the patch notes say you have to have a complete party to use the Limited Leveling Roulette setting:

    That's like requiring the DoW relic to complete savage level content in order to finish it.

    IMHO this is bad design.

    Expert crafts really aren't that hard... monotonous certainly, hard not at all.

    You're almost an entire patch late to complain about this, y'know? The most recent DoH relic step already required expert recipes.

    The fact that the required expert recipes can be learned from the 8th-level master recipe books already makes it clear that these (likely) aren't part of the DoH relics anyway, considering the recipes needed for those relics have their own tab (Ishgard Restoration -> Skysteel Tools). Not to mention how they're obtained in Eulmore, so there's absolutely no link with Ishgard.

    Wonder if the hairstyle will be finally out!
    Or will be like a triple triad card. :P
    On the XIV Twitter, they posted that they were making Rainmaker available that way, so yes. Interested to see what else will be there since I already have it.

    From what has been said in Live Letters, this isn't relic stuff though, it's something they added for crafters who want some extra challenge and they get fancy tools for it. It's more akin to Savage mount drops or, if they have better stats, savage gear.

    I'm not seeing the light buffs to DRG and WAR. I could have sworn they said those were in the patch.

    Those Bozja changes! Debuffs to the enemies when fewer players are there, Castrum respawns faster when you complete Critical Engagements and Skirmishes, several CEs will not spawn at the same time, and the Notoriety number to increase the odds of getting into Duels. Absolutely beautiful!

    They never show those in Preliminary Patch Notes.

    While I'd much rather have a queueing system for Castrum, that fix is better than nothing.

    I'd still like some sort of timer on when the last one was completed or when the next one is coming vs having to zone into an instance and have multiple people asking "Is Castrum up?"
