All Worlds Maintenance 8/18 & 8/19 - Patch Notes

[Gokulo]

That's horrible

[Murdock]

Yeah, they changed the current max rank to say 0/X (720? I forget) rather than it's previous 0/0, but you can't actually increase it yet. I just assumed that meant another tier was coming soon.

That is a safe assumption. The real question is what rewards will we get for re-maxing them out.

A cutscene..... if we're lucky

[Ratatapa]

I hope for a Ilv 1000 weapon

(cough)

[Taint]

I've been dreading the 0/720....

Really hoping for a pleasant surprise with 2.35. Maybe something cool like tweaking Ramuh drops so people actually do it. Its a pretty decent fight IMO but people do it for Shiva access then never again.

The only thing that could make me find that fight tolerable would be to increase the land area. Too crowded; don't like. I'll only go in there at the behest of others, and never of my own volition.

I can understand Ramuh weapons being i100 because i110 would just make other i110 weapons ridiculous in their requirements to obtain. But that ring should have been i110. There's only two options for i110 rings and when you need two rings you've got no choice. There should really be three choices minimum for rings and the primal should serve that purpose. People in my FC are like "lets farm Ramuh!" and I'm thinking why? Obsolete gear doesn't appeal to me, which is why I haven't done CT2 in a month. CT2 isn't even worth it for the oils. The time taken to win that against 7 others is more than it takes to farm 500 seals in hunts.

Mount duh!. Have you seen it? It looks awesome. But ya i agree with ya. Rings should of been 110. And i'd rather do CT2 then hunts because fuck hunts.

[Silenka]

Ramuh mount is best mount. You're horsin' in style.
Beast quests aren't that bad. 720? The last tier is 510 and that takes something like 10 days if you only do 1 tribe at a time. That's not really a long time. The quests are annoying and repetitive but they're easy as hell. The only thing that's really out of your control as far as how long it takes is waiting for FATEs to pop. It's just another cap to deal with though.

[Cutriss]

I've been dreading the 0/720....

It's probably going to be another 10 days. I wouldn't worry that much. All the previous progressions with beastmen tribes have been 10-day units.

Rank 1 - 5 per quest, 3 per day = 15 per day. Rank up is 150. 10 days.
Rank 2 - 5 per R1 quest, 7 per R2 quest = 36 per day. Rank up is 360. 10 days.
Rank 3 - 7 per R2 quest, 10 per R3 quest = 51 per day. Rank up is 510. 10 days.

Rank 4 will almost certianly be 10 per R3 quest, 14 per R4 quest = 72 per day. Rank up is 720. 10 days.

[Cutriss]

I'm just glad housing didn't make 2.35. I mean, I want it, but I'm out of town and I'd be super-pissed if it got ninja'd in and I couldn't get my baller plot by staying up until 4 AM.

Rank 4 will almost certianly be 10 per R3 quest, 14 per R4 quest = 72 per day. Rank up is 720. 10 days.

Or maybe even shorter? Considering that we have to do all of them this time?

[Seravi Edalborez]

That's assuming they add R4 quests though. I kind of expect hypothetical T4 to be "haha, do T3+T2 still".

Why Seravi, why do you keep saying such bad things

It hurts because it could be true

[Kuishen]

Not a popular viewpoint but it's not necessarily lazy game development - it's just an artificial limiter on people who otherwise lack the ability to pace themselves and do more than one thing.

You may disagree on the size/duration of the caps and that's fine, but limiters in and of themselves aren't inherently "lazy".

Can't count all the times I've seen people just bumrush what is otherwise a sizeable chunk of content (not necessarily talking about XIV) and then once it's all done, stop and say "WTF, is that it?"

lol No. It's lazy game development because instead of providing enough content to keep everybody busy they've chosen to limit how often you can/want to do the current content. The game has been out for a year now and the only endgame content we have is Coil.

That's called being fucking lazy.

[Seravi Edalborez]

10 quests per tier so each tribe has 30 repeatable quests, which means all previous tribe updates had 60 since they were paired. If they were to add Ixali and T4 for all, that would be 80 quests unless they went with less in the T4 tier. Not saying they couldn't do it but for a between-patch update it would be unusual.

All those quests and we can only do 6 a day..............................dotssssss

[Ratatapa]

Would take 2 months to cap 2 Beastman if you can do Tier 2-3 each day

Is there any game, though, that does what you're saying?

Seriously. I can't think of a single one. ARR updates more than most MMOs I've ever played, and with a sizable chunk of content each time.

Who -isn't- being "lazy", by your standards?
