If they don't want to put effort into adding new stuff to the PvP trophy crystal shop, there's an entire library of those awesome Feast-exclusive mounts and armor sets they could just throw up there. Sure, some of the people who already have them will cry foul, but gently caress 'em. The Feast was cancer and limiting who could get those mounts and armor sets to the top 100 people on the server in a game mode rife with cheating and wintrading was a stupid idea.

Nice patch overall on QoL. We're also getting a Collect All on Island Sanctuary thank god. And orchestrion no doesn't reset and friends can hear it. Also the trial is absolutely Cagnazzo or Rubicante because we're getting another step on the eye slime sidequest that deals with the Four Archfiends' backstories.

I was really hoping for like a giant rocket carrot or that bunny robot mount that got shown off during the live letter. It being pink with the stuff on it doesn't change the fact that it's still an elephant. There's already a tribe that gives an elephant mount. I wanted something really wacky from the funny little bunnies. I think if the elephant itself looked more cartoony or goofier I would be more into it

I recall there's an extendable fighting staff of some sort in the early 50's, I think. It's got small prongs on the ends I think, but it's the most staff-like weapon I've seen so far.

Again, plans may have changed as they haven't talked about it since the feature launched, but it's a possibility since they haven't said they aren't going to do that yet.

I haven't messed with portraits since S1 when they were added, did they ever make ther interface more user friendly? I don't remember the specifics but I know there was frustration with stuff like it not remembering your portrait when you changed jobs or glamour. I assume the latter at least was fixed if it's going to show up in every dungeon run now, it'd be pretty bad if the picture just completely broke because you equipped a new ring and forgot to update everything.

Kind of cool to take a minor quest npc who has been basically irrelevant for eight years and give them something new to do. Also I hope the Blackjack is loving gigantic but I'll understand if it isn't. Having the correct music is non-negotiable, though.

We don't know if they've eased the latter issue, as that is still happening. The first part, however, they've streamlined. Now, there's technically two different kinds of portraits. The ones you set up for your Adventurer's Plate and Instant Portraits that are shown at the start of Duties. (With 6.3 you'll be able to copy one to the other, but they're still separate.) Instant Portraits are no longer separate and applied on their own, they must now be assigned to Gear Sets, and when you swap to that set it uses that Portrait. If you get the warning that "certain Glamours couldn't be applied," or whatever it is, when swapping to that set then it means your Portrait will also be the default one. It's clunky, but considering they aren't just snapping a screenshot they have to have workarounds to deal with the already overstressed character data limits. You get one that works regardless of what you're wearing (the one for your Adventurer's Plate) and everything else has to be restricted to what's currently equipped, and if there's a mismatch it doesn't work. It's at least simple to fix. If you're using the same Glamour, just reapply it and save the Gear Set; if you're using a new Glamour: Character Menu > Instant Portrait > Edit Portrait > Save, no need to recreate everything from scratch.

I'm gonna do a quick analysis of my thoughts/ranking of the last two Panda savage tiers since I just cleared them, starting with my favourite fight and going down to my least favourite. Obviously just a bunch of subjective opinions, but I am curious of how people found the tier. Overall, I think the second tier of Panda was a bit of a disappointment, although it has some of my favourite fights as well. The only other Savage content I've done is Eden with echo (up to E8S), so can't really compare with previous savage tiers either. Also I've not played the fights blind, and playing mostly as a tank. P8SP2: I really liked this fight. Some of the puzzle elements are really creative and I imagine would create a eureka! moment when you finally suss them out and understand how to manipulate them. I understand phase 2 is quite dicy for healers, but playing as tank the fight always feel a little bit dangerous and tense, but without feeling completely bullshit. I also really enjoyed the boss design and music for this fight, overall I was really impressed and I've enjoyed progging and clearing this phase. P3S: I got really frustrated at this fight but when I look back at it, in retrospect it is an actually enjoyable fight with several interesting mechanisms and quite a chaotic feel to it. The start can get a tad boring but it still feels fast enough to not get too boring, and still keeps you on your toes. I disliked the tether mechanism for TBs but even that wasn't too bad as long as I didn't PF and had DPS running all over the place instead of stacking to make it easier for the tanks to pick them up. I never thought I would rank the fight this high but in the end I actually think it's a pretty good fight. P5S: I think this is an excellent first floor boss, although Devour snapshots weirdly and is somewhat janky. Otherwise, I like the fight because it keeps me on my toes and you always have to pay attention. To this day, when we are doing reclears of the second tier, we tend to one shot P6S and P7S, but P5S will always draw a couple of wipes from us. Thus the fight always keeps me engaged, because I can never fully auto-pilot through it. P4SP1: Although slightly annoying to prog through, I actually like this fight. Pinax is not a bad mechanism and the variation of it keeps you on your toes, although some combinations are far easier than others. It is possible to get really good at this phase eventually, and the fight never feels unfair. P1S: Much like P5S, I think P1S is an excellent first floor boss, although in the end it becomes a bit of a training dummy with almost guaranteed uptime. Still, I did this fight semi-blind and really enjoyed some of the creative solutions to cells that people came up with, although in the end the established solution was pretty simple. Overall though, I really liked the mechanisms involved in the fight (apart from fourfold chains), and as my first taste of Savage (that is, with a current released tier), it made me really enjoy savage content. P4SP2: The fight was decent, but I don't think was very enjoyable to prog, and I can't imagine that it would have been that interesting to do blind either. Curtain call also seems a bit much for a last mechanism as well. I somewhat enjoyed the fight but the mechanisms for it seemed rather set in stone, with only slight veriations. P2S: This fight had the issue that I found it had an extremely boring start, and only gets marginally more interesting with the limit cut, and the only interesting/tense mechanism is the very last one, making the whole fight slightly backloaded. It was alright to prog and having environmental/arena restrictions was interesting, but not enough to keep my interest for long. P7S: This fight had the same issue as P2S for me, but a lot worse. I feel that I can put myself on auto-pilot until the end, and then have brief excitement while the harvests occur. I really feel like they could have done more with the near/far bough smashes, or spread the harvests throughout the fight. Purgation was a bit of a dud as well. The fight is way too backloaded to be enjoyable. P8SP1: I found this fight extremely frustrating, especially due to the fact that it randomises the mechanism order, which doesn't really change the fight at all, but makes prog annoying and repetitive. Although I liked the subversion of snake /snake 2, the difficulties that we had with prog and the fact that even one gently caress up can be deadly made the entire fight feel almost unfair to me. This fight almost made me want to stop doing the tier, although I'm glad I did push through since I enjoyed phase 2 so much. P6S: Boring, repetitive, the only interesting parts of it are cachexia. To this day I cannot remember the order of mechanisms in this fight, because they meld into each other and feel repetitive even though they require different reactions. Just not a very mechanically interesting fight to me.

So many of those commend screens are going to be blank faces even if they have an instant portrait because people will be equipping dungeon loot as they win if it is an upgrade, which breaks portraits.

I dont think they preview the tribe mounts ahead of time, do they? Maybe it's the mount for the new treasure map?
