Thread: Patch 1.23 Notes up

Meh. I don't really expect many new surprises. Mob change was very likely to affect drop rates of something (like adding more boar camps, as someone said on the thread) and make it easier to get exploration achievement. Rivenroad may or may not be related to one of the new quests, likely is.

All I expect from this patch that wasn't mentioned is one or two new monster types out there. Given the fact that Goobues are going away on patch 1.23a, the real final boss will only be added on that patch.

This makes sense given that its landing time is around the middle of August, or ... the information flood.

Makes sense if true. Drop 1.23 with a small amount of content to occupy us for a short time, start up the summer event next week, then 2 weeks after that, the summer event ends and 1.23a drops which will bring the "radical changes" that we're all expecting.

It's possible, anyway.

A/B/C, it's silly to think they would have concluded everything before September/October xD.

Yeah definitely coming in waves, we got a taste of that style the past couple patch cycles, its only natural they would try to stretch out the conclusion as long as possible till at minimum Alpha starts. Still even though the notes are pretty bare, there is a lot of in tangible things that could be added that won't be in the patch notes, I'm talking specifically about Live quests administered in secret or started by GM's. For instance the ominous weather and lack of music last year during the egg hunt seasonal event was certainly not in the patch notes, nor were the enemy invasions that have been escalating just outside of the cities. I think the real 'tell' of how much content came in this patch will be in the data models they add, so data mining after patch deployed should be interesting or disappointing lol.

Yeah that's true, though I really do think they're just stretching regardless of spoilers or not xD. They even said 1.23 would be fairly large but so far doesn't look that large.

Also those confused/worried about Caravan changes, it's basically stated you people who love to burn everything down with BLMs will be the only ones benefiting from it, anyone else won't even get a chance to gain participation points, so in all reality, it seems like they're trying to fix that situation and it can easily become a grief tactic. Good change honestly.
