Thread: Patch 2.2 Notes (Preliminary) (03/21/2014)    

Oh I know its not normal times but I do think this will mess with people a decent amount.

Lots of groups are set up on Monday, so when people are learning it they might miss a week or so till its fully hammered out by said group.

I mean once its farming status will be fine. 1 hour should be all we need by then lol but the first few weeks will suck.

That's under the premise that every group out there can end up one shooting it. Unfortunately that's not the case for everyone, particularly if you don't have a full group and need to rely on pick ups.

And this brings me to a different point. It's pretty disappointing that there's no indication of them changing the loot/lockout system for the new turns. The world is not made of multiples of 8, and a CT-like lockout that would allow people helping each other out would solve many of the grouping issues that coil has (even more so if you're in a minority timezone).

Tues groups will have hours to do coil now. This is would be equivalent to scheduling a group for Sun runs with the previous schedule.

Edit: Also wtfing at no PVP materia price fixes. Shit's ridiculously expensive for overmelds.

Well Tuesday group might have it the easiest and have the most time considering its 1 a.m. On Tuesday

Are all times based off that? Like EU and JP servers or does each one have their own start time?

Early Tues * (1am PST is 4am EST, so late night groups would have issues). Obviously not an issue if you go after.

Edit: Whole posts missed while reading this; you basically covered this last page.

About to hop to my 3rd GC with 50k saved up on both of the previous ones.. money time =D

In the event a free company master does not log in for 35 days (Earth time), ownership will be automatically transferred to another free company member, based upon the following criteria:
1. Members who have logged in within the past seven days
2. Higher-ranked members preferred
3. Senior members preferred

LOL, make sure you never take an extended break from the game FC Leaders.

* Players can only obtain 450 Allagan tomestones of soldiery per week, and carry a maximum of 2,000.

Wow, I was it to start off at 300.

I have done extremes constantly and easily since release. I have had all the weapons I've needed for a while. I've sold a ton of runs to finish off our FC house funding. I have seen one motherfucking whistle ever and it dropped last week (we sold it to a rando).

Really like the PVP mentions; new R40 PLD gear looks awesome and am excite for Frontlines. Cost reductions for i70 gear and rank reductions for i90 gear are also welcome. Ranking system has been needed badly; fighting an i90 PVP player in i90 PVE gear is like trying to do T5 in AF1. As such it forced everyone without full i70 at least to do LV 30 and 40 synced matches where morale doesn't matter.

Lots to do when this patch hits. MSQ to Lord of the Whorl will be the first priority easily. After that, I'm going for the Master Crafting recipes and will try to exploit the post-patch economy for some gil through new crafts (been saving Myth and a ton of materia for this). Will figure out retainer ventures and other items as I go.

Patch 2.2 Notes (Preliminary)

There better be some GC seals and myth/solid tomes in that Challenge log. It would be greatly disappointing if there is only exp and gil.

Another page of WoW's book

The maximum number of furnishings for a small house has been increased from 50 to 100.

Where's my item increase for large houses? ; ;
