I'm not sure why you're so defensive. Your own words said that you don't understand how it works.

I explained how it works.

It would be nice to know if my main job is going to be worth playing after the 10th or should I invest in another MMO. This is where not having a test PTR really backfires on FF14.

Every game I've ever seen a ptr in no meaningful changes are made based on community feedback. It's just used as a promotional thing.

"Options to disable the right-click targeting of certain types of targets have been added."

Best thing in the notes. Welcome to year 2000 when Western games already had this as standard

also its cool they made the chocobo stuff dyable but will they add the chocobo footwear for the costume

One thing that stood out to me was the Odin FATE nerf. The level scaling was one of the best parts of that, watching overconfident high level players just eating dirt, the sheer chaos and wailing agony. Seems a shame to have to force a fixed difficulty after all these years.

Yes, I too read the whole note. And I'm going to disagree. This isn't "bringing him back down where he belongs." Where he "belongs," historically, is with a sliding difficulty. If players win, he gets stronger next time (to a point). If he wins, difficulty lowers.

Putting him to a fixed level 50 says "the downscaling mucked up our old scaling calculations, and we can't be bothered to correct them, so we're just going with the easy option of no more scaling."

Which, fair play, it'd be a chunk of work for largely deprecated content with few, if any, valuable rewards.

But it's still massively entertaining, showing up to your first Odin and seeing the fields of corpses. It remained one of the few exciting things to still happen in ARR zones.
