I spotted it in some old patch-notes but didn't know if they were real/fake: Does AF3 work the same way old AF1 did; we get it from the class storyline so that everyone has a baseline level of gear when they hit 80?

You get an item for your 70 job quest that can be exchanged for one full gearset for your job. I forget if this was confirmed or still just speculation.

DirectX 11 support under Config in the launcher is now automatically set to on (Windows only).

Just wanted to point this out since I'm sure there are plenty of people on older systems that will probably log in and suddenly have 15fps and have no idea what the heck is going on.

Go to Uldah and talk to some guy.

I don't think we know exactly who yet but it should show on your map as an available level 50 quest.

This isn't a thing in PvE, is it? Because it's really weird to me that they would implement one-button combos but only in PvP.

Looking forward to the job guide later today.

So that outfit for SAM is literally just Terra from Kingdom Hearts and that's pretty radical.

Also the main scenario has its own window and tracker now so you never lose track of your next quest location.

One of the things I'm most excited for is dyeable versions of old dungeon gear used when leveling, sad they're not shown but man I really hope we get a dyeable coat of the lost thief for bard and mch.

We do know the quest starters at least, they're in the patch notes.

Only prerequisite mentioned is level 50 so any level 50 should be good to go.

It's only in PvP. They're streamlining a lot of PvP and it looks like it will be a lot more fun.

I wish the RDM melee combo was one-button like in PvP, it doesn't have branching paths or positionals.

I think you may have to have finished the ARR story, not sure if that includes 2.1-2.55 as well. I have an alt at that exact spot so I can check myself, unless the patch notes make it clearer.

I suppose it makes sense in that, at the start of 3.0, you only had the one job quest-giver anyway. You go through 52-60 with new people, so I guess they put it in the notes to avoid confusion.

Yeah, all the other stuff that has an MSQ requirement has a line, like "Players must first complete the Main Scenario Quest..." so it's looking like you just need to have a job at level 50 to unlock RDM or SAM. If you needed an ARR MSQ completion, it would likely say you needed to complete "Before the Dawn" (or "The Ultimate Weapon" if it was just 2.0 and not 2.55).

The patch notes say that PvE buttons are completely removed from PvP, so the point is moot.

Whoever said the launcher defaults to DX11 - mine did not. Just patched and it was still set to DX9. Closed the launcher and reopened it after the patching was complete and it still is set with DX9.

So I know there are tons of quests in the game, and this doesn't actually matter at all, but for the starting Astrologian quest in SB to be East Meets West at the same time the starting Weaver quest is When East Meets West is pretty :effort: unless there's a deliberate parallel within the actual quests.

Certainly not. The reason that macros are slow and bad is 1. you can't set a wait time in a macro to anything other than a whole number, and 2. macros cannot queue abilities the way activating them via mouseclick or hotkey can. Macros can only be executed when things are off of cooldown. Button presses/clicks queue up half a second before the cooldown is up. The new PvP buttons aren't macros and will just be changing the skill that the button represents through the combo. They'll still queue up the same and avoid any problems macros have.
