Yeah we've seen it in action in a stream. Because of ps3 limitations, they're keeping the party window at a constant amount of processing power required, so adding more bars means something has to go.

The effect of favors has been adjusted as follows: The duration of favors has been reduced from fifteen minutes to five minutes. The rate at which concealed gathering points appear has been increased by 300%. Hahaha I'm so glad I didn't use mine yet. That poo poo was DUMB.

Doublestep posted:325 potency instant shield+heal That change seems like it might be a good bit too far in the other direction, but we'll see how it plays out. 130% shielding compares very favorably to 100 (200% crit) shielding, especially with a self-buff that doesn't involve ruining yourself to use. Kinda sad that Paladin is 100% absent from these changes- they noticed how dumb Disable was, but Sheltron is still broken the same way. Maybe in 3.1.

The changes are still enough where I think i'll level AST now to try it out, and they look quite nice overall.

On that note, does someone other than me want to actually run a MCH thread? I don't play it anymore and I don't have a ton of 60 experience with it, and while I have no problem just vomiting information other people tell me, I feel like someone who knows what they're doing would be much more useful.

I'm just glad lalafell look good in anything. I think the portion of the patch notes that excites me the most is the additions to Fishing Retainers. Now they can actually gather some useful things! I don't think I've had my retainer fish any Heavensward fish for crafting purposes as of yet.

It's an improvement, just... laughably inadequate for a seriously hosed up system. You grind time limited nodes to earn a weekly limited currency that you spend for the privilege of gathering crystals (or worse) for 5 minutes while hoping RNGesus grants you one of multiple different tokens you need to trade in for crafting mats used exclusively with other mats bought using a different weekly limited currency to make overpriced recipes with the RNG intentionally weighted against you as some sort of bastardized incentive to specialize so you can spend yet another currency on consumables that will make the RNG gently caress you normally instead of extra hard.

During the broadcast the other day, Yoshida mentioned that the password would be "pretty easy to figure out if you know Soken", and Soken has a well-known fascination for knee socks. There's also that.

I'm currently geared in HQ crafted 115 stuff, with my main fully suited in Ironworks 120. I would like to start collecting Encrypted Tomestones so I can buy fancy robot weapons. What is the least awful way to do that?

Soken must be an adders man E: Do Labyrinth of the Ancients, Syrcus Tower and The World of Darkness raids. After you've done them once you'll unlock a weekly quest where if you do each one again you can get a tomestone to get an ironworks weapon for glamour. I hope. Because heavensward gear will outclass that in 3 levels or so. That or go fight bahamut Ignimbrite fucked around with this message at 14:17 on Aug 25, 2015 |

I'm cool with all of this. Lowering the cooldown on TK doesn't seem to affect its use case much but I'll take it. Blood Weapon for DRKs offsetting the TP cost of the haste effect is nice too. And my group beat a1s last night just before maintenance. We're way behind the curve but oh well

Any MCH thoughts on the Quick Reload change or had a chance to try it out? I really liked the aesthetic of the class but shelved it because of the stupid amount of buttons and the "John loving Madden-ness" of the rotation. I'm a little hopeful that the CD reduction smooths things out in between Wildfires but I guess you're still going to have to mash everything every 2.5 minutes or whatever the Wildfire CD is (phone postin'). I've been leveling Dragoon and while I don't have BotD yet, everything just feels like it flows better, that and it doesn't hurt that it also feels like I'm doing real damage with decent numbers instead of plinking away while praying for buttons to light up.

I'm leveling up CUL desynth and looking for tips. Right now I'm at 87 and desynthing takitaros from Urth's Gift (60 FSH). Is this a good strategy? At what point can I finally start desynthing all those super-cheap 3.0 fish?

A random thought from FC chat last night: How far could 8 level 60 ACNs (6 SMN, 2 SCH?) get into level 50 progression content? Titan-egi not having any snap aggro generation could be a problem for some fights.

Only got so much time in the evenings. Unless you go in with a group of level 60 people who know the fight, at level 50 with i110/120 gear you will have a rough time of bahamut because it's the final fight of the raid tier balanced for the gear level you're at, let along the mechanics. The other 3 raids are maybe 20-30m each with pretty breezy mechanics and at or below your gear level. That said you'd need to find enough people (7 others for T13 and 23 others for Labyrinth / ST / World of Darkness) to go do that content unless you wait for hours in the duty finer / party finder.

For those of you that like SweetFX stuff, I just gave it a whril for this preset which looks pretty drat good: https://sfx.thelazy.net/games/preset/4260/ I didn't like the weird things it did to interface windows or it cutting out much more than the 10-15 frames it said but it DID look pretty, and as advertised, without loving up the art direction of the game much. I didn't feel like tweaking it much more but I thought I'd post it in the interest of those who do.

If I wanted to start playing FF14 but wait for a sale on Heavensward before buying that (which might be months away), how would that affect my progression and endgame? Is the level 50 content still worthwhile, and are there enough people doing it that it wouldn't be wasted time?

Is the level 50 content still worthwhile, and are there enough people doing it that it wouldn't be wasted time? You'll be able to progress through the entire story 2.x story line that rewards you plenty of gear to be able to do heavensward content when you get to it. But once thats done you will be effectively stoned walled. Also I dont think your character can continue to level past 50 without heavensward so depending on how casually you do the 2.x story content, you might be losing a lot of exp from daily roulettes while you finish it. If you get a good level or two before you start HW you'll be able to skip go straight to story missions and avoid places like mogholme.
