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

[Toth]

all it does is increase pressure on As a bit by reducing the amount of people teleing around for Bs during windows. Bs actually added up to a nice number of extra myth tomes and stuff since they spawned so frequently, assuming you had a decent network for callouts and knew the quickest ways to certain parts of zones. Don't know why people thought they were useless. 4 Bs was all it took to equal one A, and getting 4 Bs during an A window wasn't particularly difficult.

True I just remembered the decent soldiery and myth from them. Well, its a start. I was actually wrong with my math too. There are 2 fate NM marks each day so that's around 274 seals possible a week just soloing. It certainly is a huge step up there.

Very true. Now zones will get overloaded as there is usually only one or two As open at a time. So everyone will just be piling in those zones. Let the lag fest begin.

Still nothing done about their display priorities once the model limit is reached also, unless they forgot to mention it in the notes.

[Silenka]

I dont get why everyone hates hunts so much. They're stupidly easy and probably the most reward for least effort in the entire game.
Step 1: Hunt LS
Step 2: 8-man party
Step 3: ???
Step 4: profit

(only corollary is the display priority which I still want to believe they will fix someday. I want to belieeeeveeee)

I should mention that I DO actually like what they did with the B mobs. Just I wish it wasn't the only thing they did.

[Selamis]

I like the bill mark increases, as someone who hasn't really spent much time actively hunting in parties and just doing dailies while joining parties once something pops and then the weekly bill, this is a welcome adjustment.

[Toth]

Also, no sands of time added to Sycrus Guess that's 2.38.

[Sho]

Yeah pretty welcome. I haven't jumped on the Hunt bandwagon yet because I want to finish leveling my jobs to 50. It's a decent change for people who still want to swipe a couple of bills a week and do other stuff.

[SamanosukeShiva]

on Hyperion what we do for hunt is just to have a network of LS'es I think it was 4-5 LS'es combined and server-wide TS3 server for callouts, hunting has never been easier. And early pullers kicked/banned from Hunt LS networks/TS3, a way of getting people in line, which have worked great so far.

Thank youuuuuuuuu~

Kinda a bit sad about changes to B's in terms of making them worthless. I guess take the RNG down a bit getting all those extras from mark bills though.

Don't really like how they "fixed" spirit bonding...

[Neon_Sea]

Im not sure I really understand the new Spirit Bonding change. If I wear i70 stuff to an expert dungeon is it getting penalized? Is i90 now going to bond at a faster rate in current dungeons? If so that is a welcome change, the cost of making i90 gear is way cheaper than i70.

[AidenCarby]

/pet command is the best thing about this update.

[Tyrath]

I'm still waiting for /sigh and /slap.

[Seravi Edalborez]

This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard.

The part about "certain furnishings cannot be restored once they have been placed within an estate or private chambers." I assume just refers to stuff that can't be retrieved when placed like primal furniture. The rest of it is just "pick up your junk within 35 days if you got the boot".

e: So basically if Broombrush is more than 600k on your server, it is cheaper to buy brooms from NPC.

[Sephiroth]

I like how the changes to hunts everyone was looking forward to is to just make them even more congested. No Bs will certainly mean more people at As because previously some people would miss As due to being at Bs.

[Korialstrasz]

I like how all exp that a chocobo has gained since the last time being stabled will be lost if somebody is kicked with a stabled chocobo. Not that it should ever be an issue, but what kind of spaghetti code do they have going where that would actually be a thing? Is the exp gained just not applied until you remove them, and that's why you also can't level them up when inside?

[Spider-Dan]

I think the hunt changes enable people to grind casual allied seals without having to get involved in the whole "who pulled early?!" drama.

Before it was pennies per week; now you're at least earning minimum wage. Isn't it now 32 seals/day from the 2 FATEs + 3 sets of trash, up from 7 seals/day?
