Hello Devs can you answer a simple question why the hell monk look like bard or mechanist in these new items is this a joke or mistake from you because you always half of items for monk give ugly and when you give somthing nice is not for us or is this some camouflage for bard and mechanist that they will look like male dps ????

Well I did both of the new dungeons and enjoyed them, despite taking like 5 attempts to clear the final boss of Pharos HM. The mechanics are neat, but some of them could use a little bit of explanation. Also, the blue bombs seemed to be a bit buggy as a couple of times they went in the opposite direction you would expect them to.

That said, new change pose rocks.

So it's really weird, they start out being a glamour of low level armour but if you remove the glamour on them they turn into a different set. I think they are 3.0 crafted armour ?

If you can enter as i179 you can switch to whatever after you're there but everything is pretty tough so don't overextend yourself either.

I wonder if the developers are ever going to get around to making the Recommendations window useful. You'd think they could show new unlocks for dungeons and stuff in there, but nope - it's only quests in the zone and dungeons you've already unlocked. I have no idea where you unlock any of the new stuff and it apparently isn't anywhere obvious. The Recommendations window would be perfect for showing them, but it's still just as useless as it was in 2.0.

While I completely agree that the Recommendations window is pretty drat useless, new quests are always listed very near the beginning of the patch notes, complete with where to pick them up and (often) what they unlock.

Also if you're responsible about cleaning out your old sidequests, it's easy enough to identify a new quest that has shown up with a patch (and which will presumably unlock something), by simple logic of "it's the only loving quest on the map".

That said:

MSQ: Fortemps Manor in Ishgard
Thordan Ex: Mor Dhona bar
Dungeon 1: Hinterlands, west side
Dungeon 2: Limsa, Maelstom area
Void Ark: Airship dock in Ishgard
Diadem: Also airship dock in Ishgard
Vanu dailies: Friendly Vanu camp in Sea of Clouds

On one hand, Diadem is neat. The rewards are nice and the mobs are gigantic and rad. I guess for people who really, really have their poo poo together it's going to be lucrative, though the lack of awesome cosmetic rewards like the old Allied Seal gear is disappointing.

On the other hand, gently caress Diadem. EDIT: Never mind I'm wrong. :v: See below.

That aside, the content in this patch is amazing. Both of the new dungeons are enormously fun, and Void Ark is this crazy loving fever-dream of a raid. If it's a prelude of what's to come with the raid series during this expansion, I can only imagine just how :catdrugs: it's going to get.

On the other hand, gently caress Diadem. It's an awful throwback to old-school MMO design where the presence of people other than yourself and your party just means that what you're trying to do is going to become that much more of a pain in the rear end. The forced competition feels unnatural, and all this morning was this tangible sense of pure :smith: as people all across the zone were being friendly, calling out spawns and attempting to coordinate without realizing that only the first group to dive in was going to get anything. It's gonna get really ugly, really fast. People will adapt to it in some way or another, but it feels even worse than the S-rank hunts from 2.x.

Okay, before this gains any traction: Every group which gets credit on the boss gets a Gold chest. Credit isn't that high, either - it counts healing (like S ranks), and you only need to be there for maybe a third of the boss to get credit if there's 2+ other groups hitting it. Given how long some of the bosses take for a single group, it's in everyone's best interest to go to each Star, get its chest, then go back to popping another one.

Diadem becomes 10x as fun when you realize that the other groups are your friend, rather than your enemy.
