Whats in 1.23a..?

Hopefully some of the "drastic changes to the world". Please please please SE <3

While this would be super awesome I don't think they will waste much time re-designing maps for the current engin. That seems like a lot of work when the new engin is right around the corner. I assume most fo the world changes will just be previewed in a CS right before the game comes down.

I hope I am wrong though cause it would be cool. And maybe they could just re-do one camp in each nation just to give a preview. I would like to see them implement another CS that automatically plays when you log into the game like they did with that dream a few patches ago... epic.

According to the roadmap, we're supposed to see the changes in August =)

Yeah good point. I am really hoping too see some major world changes with this patch although they may wait until the later parts. But according to that description "Radical changes to In-game world" starting beginning of Aug, looks like it might happen with this one. It would make some sense too due to the Gobbue mount npc being no longer available... like someone else mentioned perhaps that whole area is about to get wiped out!! When Yoshi was asked where does that Npc go.. maybe the reason for his 'dodgy' response was because soon it will b very clear what happened to that poor ole' wandering minstrel...

I do agree with this, Yoshi's response did warrant us to think something amazing will happen to him, I think imma log out at him before maintanance just in case. Knowing me I'll be stuck in a crater lol.

Perhaps the chained down aether crystals from the concept?

Edit: I bet the community reps, and Yoshi love seeing us speculate like this.

No doubt. I know if roles were reversed i'd be entertained, and sometimes amazed and impressed, by the imginative things we come up with.

And then slightly disgrunteled when we rage about it.

And then content when we go do it.

ANd then ignore it when we rage about it anyway....

...They probably stopped reading long ago ^^

It depends how they are doing things, we have a lot of data to port to ARR already, I would suspect they have a program to port data running it through an algorithm that changes what is needed, then it can be tested to make sure everything worked, this would be the most efficient way and they could make world changes just add the changes to the list of data to be altered by their program. However if they are manually porting the data I would agree with you, there is no point in changing things up now, unless the maps haven't been fully ported yet (or they hadn't when they designed the changes)

As for the OP's question, what about a new ability "Summon Dalamud meteors" works like the first 2 meteors summoned by the late Van Darnus, and do 9999 damage to mobs within an area of effect? Overpowered maybe, fun hellz yeah!!!
