Dream Patch Notes

[Amiabelle]

Here are a few of mine:

Delivery Moogles:

• There are now Moogles in the lobby of every Inn

Summoning Bells and Retainers

• There is now a Summoning Bell in every crafting hall
• Bells have been hung from the ceiling so people can no longer stand ON the bell and block others from access (a bell chain has been added so Lala can ring the bell)
• You may now hire up to two additional Retainers for a fee (but additional Retainers may NOT go to Market)

Inventory

• You now have an option to display all your inventory bags simultaneously
• You now have an option to label bags (Ingredients, Reagents, Wood, etc.); items will auto-sort to the proper bag
• You may now auto-compact bags (press a key and all inventory in the bag will scoot up to fill in blank spaces)

Repairs

• There is now an option to Repair Everything I Own

Armory

• There is now an option to LOCK all items that are currently assigned to a gear set. You will receive a warning asking if you truly want to sell, trade, move the item.
• There is now an option to auto-sort items in Armory by function (DoW, DoM, DoH, DoL) and level
• Newly acquired items in the Armory will sparkle until you click on them

Lodestone

• The option to display all Free Companies currently registered to your server is now functioning!

And, of course:

• The option to r-click/b-list (and report) has been added

-The number of materials obtained with Allagan Tomestones of Philosophy (Coke/Potash/etc) required for their respective synthesis has been reduced from 9 to 3.

-A special task force of GMs has been assigned to the Duty Finder in order to deal with problem players there, as well as removing and punishing anyone who'd rather waste everyones time instead of leaving like they want to and eating that wait penalty.

-Delivery Moogles can now be used to send mail to any members in the same Free Company as you, as well as players on your Friends List.

-The text for the Behemoth FATE has temporarily been changed, commenting on how Behemoth has grown powerful feasting on the flesh of teleport harvesting bots.

When I saw the vote/kick thing, all I thought was that people would use it to kick first timers watching cutscenes, and no progression would ever be made by any new playerbase (without the help of friends). Either that or it was just a way for elitists to kick undergeared/unwanted classes..... A griefing tool is all that comes to mind.

- Players who frequently initiate kick votes will have dramatically increased cooldowns for initiating kick votes, which reset to their maximum length upon entering a dungeon.

[Jinko]

All latency and Lag issues have been fixed.
Duty Finder instance queue times have been dramatically reduced for AK.

[cearka]

Fix the positional lag.

for the love of everything that is good, yes.


I'd love to see sortable, text base inventory too. this clusterpoo image based inventory really really sucks and is a huge waste of time.

*The issue wherein players are still liable to take damage despite being outside of the red zone of enemy moves has been fixed.

*Music will now loop more frequently.

*Model culling has been re-prioritized towards Enemy > Party > NPCs/objects of interest > Chocobos > Out of Party PCs > Minions.

*The issue wherein players are erroneously told no items are being sold on the market despite having items up for sale with their retainers has been fixed.

* Dungeons that award tomes of either Mythology or Philosophy will award bonus tomes based on the percentage of enemies defeated. These bonuses can circumvent the 300 weekly cap provided that a new player is present.

*AF Armor and Armor combinations that grant a total of ilvl 200 or above now grant enhancements to various actions. Heavy Armor Darklight gear will confer this bonus provided both body and legs are equipped despite being 2 pieces of equipment occupying 4 slots.
A Few examples shown below:
*Foresight will confer a bonus of -20% damage reduction when used by MRDs or WARs for the ability's duration.
*MRD/WAR self heals will scale based on Max HP%
*The spell Succor will crit at a higher frequency. SCHs will now expend x1.25 more MP whenever Succor crits.
*Circle of Scorn's cooldown will be reduced by 5 seconds.

*The price for crafting materials obtained via Tomes of Philosophy has been scaled downward.

*The number of mobs that drop fleece and diremite webs have been increased.

*The drop rate for various monster items related to crafting will have their rates adjusted downward based on how long the player has been in that specific map quadrant.

*The period of time that must elapse before initiating successive instant job abilities has been shortened.

*The amount of Allagan medals that drop in higher level dungeons has been reduced in addition to having the Bronze and Tin Allagan pieces replaced with Allagan Silvers.

*The player who enters a Dungeon in progress will have 45 seconds to bypass the boss wall to join the fray, the time allotted will increase by 15 seconds based on whether the Boss in question is the 2nd or last boss of the dungeon up to 1minute and 15 seconds to enter the wall leading to the last Boss.

EDIT: Added that bonus Tomes can circumvent the weekly cap provided the run in question had a new player present.

Dream patch notes you say? ok here goes:

-Vanity slots are now implemented.

-ALL gear is now dyeable.

-AOE lag has been fixed.

-HUD layout is now truly saved, you don't have to rearrange everything on login.

-Loading priority of PCs/NPCs/mobs/companions/pets/minions has been adjusted.

-The spell graphics for holy has been changed back to the orininal admittingly far superior one, instead of that huge pink flash that most of all looks like an enhanced proshell.

-Madeen has been added as a fate primal fight, dropping tokens for mage gear and weapons, plus a minion and defeating Madeen as a summoner unlocks it's egi.

-Light metal gear sets have been added for mages who are tired of the unending lenghts of cloth.

[Aicasia]

All you losers afraid of vote kick have never experienced a vote kick system in use. It is rarely abused, deal with it and stop being a bunch of kittens.

[Rumpelstiltzkin]

- Several new classes and jobs are introduced.
- Cardgame makes its way into ARR.
- Open world content that are not FATEs, a lot of it and in many different forms.
- Solo/Duo/Trio challenge modes in the arena vs increasingly difficult monsters. How far can you go?

Otherwise, working servers, /tell anywhere I want, a change in SE's way of thinking in general when it comes to trying to solve problems that are not even an issue to begin with which ends up being detrimental to the overall experience. This being on top what we already know is coming in 2.1 of course.

- Players who frequently initiate kick votes will have dramatically increased cooldowns for initiating kick votes, which reset to their maximum length upon entering a dungeon.

-you cannot be kicked if you are in a cutscene/...though that could result in afk people force locking themselfs into a cutscene..uhm...so maybe...

-if a player has been in a cut-scene for longer then 5 minutes, allow a kick.
