Cipher Pol 9 posted:Oh man I want to be excited but this seems like it could cause so many problems. Everyone's going to be fighting over gold chests for one, and while I like randomized glamours I do not like randomized stats. Like pieces of armor could have any stats? Or will there be set patterns? If it's literally random, like +6 Piety and +126 Skill Speed on the same piece, that will be a fun grind for the hardcore but infuriating for most. I hated it in Monster Hunter, at least. But I'll of course hold off judgment til we know more.

idk i think a break until 3.2 might be in order since Lords of Verminion doesnt quite look like my jam :\ I don't know if I can handle a year of the exact same progression system when the content isnt as interesting as coil/crystal tower and an exdr with only two dungeons (lmao i cant believe they cut out a third of the bulk of peoples daily content)

A single dungeon for an alternate progress system + pet battles is a pretty good trade for a single 4 man dungeon.

Yeah..as much as I loathe a two-dungeon roulette, 3.1 seems pretty drat hefty as is. I just hope I don't hate either of the two new dungeons as much as I do Neverreap.

Is the hate with Neverreap just how unstatistically likely it is to get it in DREx, or something about the dungeon itself? I have liked it as a late comer since it isn't too hard to tank, but I don't know if that just translates to boring to other people. I've on done the other dungeon once when I unlocked it and have never had it pop up in DREx.

I heavily disagree but then dungeons are my favorite content. I would much rather have given up literally any other common patch feature than a 3rd expert.

I have liked it as a late comer since it isn't too hard to tank, but I don't know if that just translates to boring to other people. I've on done the other dungeon once when I unlocked it and have never had it pop up in DREx. It's got some tedious bits to it that are aggravating. Having to stop to use some thing to open a path to move on. The Sordes enemies that are the bane of all melees slows down any run with a melee dps. All 3 of the bosses have mechanic-based down time that just prolongs fights. Also, anyone who poopsocked week 1 of HW and did the place when the average ilvl was 155 will remember the last boss as that fucker that took 10 minutes to kill because he is a giant sac of hp and also just toodles around the platform for laughs plus spawns an add you need to kill and tornados you gotta dodge and it all just added up to a long rear end boss fight. Plus a lot of people were still trying to figure out how to integrate hw abilities. It's not so bad now that the average ilvl is probably around 180 and a lot of people have gotten used to their new skills but drat.

For a long time it did seem to come up significantly more than Fractal, but since the last server maintenance Fractal's been popping up about as much as well. A lot of the hate for Neverreap also comes from the god-for-loving-saken twisters in the last boss, especially for casters.

Haven't had many terrible DRs, figured I'd share. DRK in AV wasn't using Grit and had no right side gear equipped. Healer raged and just sat down. Both of them just quit after that pull.

My AV story: I leveled my AST to 50 in LLDR exclusively. I kept getting tamtams all the way through. I'm level 49, hit lldr, spawn in AV. I notice I have almost 30% less hp than the other guys when we hit the first boss, and healing feels kinda hard despite these guys being good players. Open my character window and sure enough, I'm in i29 gear. I kept quiet and hoped they wouldn't notice until I finished the level and could put my ironworks and i115 weapon on. It went smoothly, but

Verranicus posted:So, people are already bitching about 3.1 in November. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/262897-November-really I think what a lot of people were expecting was something more along the lines of FFXI where each expansion (for the most part) attempted to introduce some kind of new battle system or progression mechanic. I think the team's looking to try expanding the progression mechanics (Exploratory Missions are reminding a people a lot of Dynamis, although I never did it myself), but the fact that it wasn't packaged as a part of the expansion has raised peoples' hackles since there's a reasonably long wait inbetween compared to previous patches. I believe that FFXIV is a lot of people's first exposure to an MMO, or their experience with MMOs largely begins and ends with FFXI. For people who have been playing WoW for way too loving long, the idea of a new expansion being "the same thing, more or less, with new bells and whistles" is expected. People were going apeshit over Wrath of the Lich King having such innovative content as "flying mounts" and "a new class" back in the day. It may also be that tastes have started to change with the popularity of games like League of Legends that, as I mentioned previously, can putter along just fine without so much as a new map for years and still generate immense player interest because of the variability of each match. You could play through Neverreap blindfolded at this point, but your ability to win a match in League blindfolded is much less likely. People are getting used to games where you can just log in and play a match that was different than the one you played yesterday versus a game where you log in and play through a dungeon that is exactly the same as yesterday. This isn't a bad thing, really, but it requires a lot more innovation on the part of PVE-focused developers to come up with something that produces the same sense of "every match is different" without the competitive element. seiferguy posted:Not that I want to bring up this chat again but did the livestream mention anything about buffing PLD? The absolute most that's been said is in an older Famitsu article where they said they're looking at buffing tank enmity in a few places. Whether they'll change something is anyone's guess; there's been a lot of hooting and hollering about it since that time.
