I <3 this update

THE UI feels a lot faster, did they do something? it feels more responsive. I'm pleased with the smaller party size it feels more intimate like your actually involved in the party. I actually feel like I should pay attention now. Also I HATE sitting on my ass waiting for a NM to pop ALL day. 3-5 minute spawn times is awsome for mid-low level drops. I play 8 hours a day not casually and i still hate NM's thats not FUN.

i just finished a BW levelinking party, full party with 8 people. so far its a lot of fun. it feels like theres a lil bit more direction in terms of party play. i think once they balance out the fighting so its a lil more challanging, it should get better.

but playing with a group of 8 was a lot of fun. a lot of chatting going on. i still wishes more people used the recruitment menu.

but i think maybe a 20-30 min respawn on NMs, lottery spawn, and lower the drop rate to about .33% should work well. i know they are trying to give everyone a chance at NMs but sometimes challange and competition can go a very long way. especially in developing a community for the future.

Honestly, so far my favorite adjustment is showing monster ranks instead of just the icons that emulated FFXI's /check command. Though I also like the changes made to the map. And I'm glad they seem to have moved that Wild Boar out of the path between Gridania and Camp Emerald Moss (I like to walk and train my off combat classes on the way to leves).

I also realy like this update.

The UI changes are alltogether usefull. (i like the changes of the linkshellflag and the sell/repair icon size)
New NM's are awesome. Kind of a not realy announced, but bring along hours of playtime and tons of new very interesting peaces of gear.
Easter festival is also more interesting compared to previouse events and the partysize and behest changes were overdue.

Realy, realy great update (expecially for a small one)!!

Eh, I mean the patch did pretty well for what it is (stalling us until the real stuff is implemented), but lol at this. If this was all SE could do every month we might as well call it a day. It works as a filler patch, that's all.

You're right, Betel, but remember that this patch would have been bigger if not for the earthquake last month (there also would have been another patch between this one and the last one). Whether or not that's just SE making excuses is a matter of opinion, but I believe them on this one.

With that in mind, it's still pretty cool that we got as much as we did.
