[Sephiroth]

You'll soon get sick of waiting an hour or two for the FATEs to spawn and realise you could have killed 5 As in that time.

Edit: how dare u

[Ratatapa]

I skimmed notes quick did they added rank 5 to other tribes?

[Seravi Edalborez]

Checking on a JP server, there are no new achievements so I assume not. Ixali just arbitrarily has achievements at 1/3/5/7 as patch notes indicated.

Also the forecast isn't too bad:

Spoiler: show

[AidenCarby]

You've got mail bud.

Hmm so now you can craft 30 brooms at once but no glazenut involved or buy them for 20k each.

[Korialstrasz]

Brooms were almost down to 20k pre patch, so they'll certainly go lower and never ever be higher ever again.

Registering for Duty as an Alliance


finally. Took so long though all the people who care about that are more than likely gone now but we need a fucking BG duty finder run.

[Eldelphia]

Free company members can now be discharged even if they have purchased private chambers or have stabled a chocobo.

Good. Discovering you can't kick someone because they have their boco in your stable was not fun.

Now it just needs to be doable for matching alliances. Got 9 people that want to do CT together? Cross your fingers!

Of course, being able to enter duty with fewer than 24 people is the real next step. Let us try lowmanning, plox.

[ArchDizzle]

So from patch notes is dying your chocobro only possible if you have it stabled or can you do it outside of that?

[Raldo]

I skimmed notes quick did they added rank 5 to other tribes?

Interesting... all beastmen tribes at Rank 4 have now been returned to 0/0. The 720 is gone. Most unexpected.

You need to feed it the dye snack. So yea it's only possible when stabled.

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.

well this depends, someone like myself who does not do hunts is fine with this change, someone who does hunts with the 500+ people most likely will not like this. I still dont get why this system is not like the ZNM system from FF11. Limit it as you please by other means, the ZNM system would be god damn perfect for this game.

[Mina]

Well the new change to the B's makes it so those who didn't want to be a part of the large hunt parties can get seals. But I definitely see the way they've changed it has made it so now the A's will be highly contested. I don't know how other servers are but on Gilgamesh there's only one real linkshell that controls the entire market of hunts and this pretty much will solidify the "get in that LS or don't get credit at all".

I can get why some people would be super upset about this. I have a pretty fast computer, my load times are pretty great. Half the time I get to the hunt monster and it is just getting pulled or they pull 5 seconds after. People get super left behind and get upset and I feel for my console brothers and sisters.

I don't think this was the change to hunts that people were hoping for. :\ Will see once people start playing.

Also, edited thread post to include the link to the changes.

Ixali dailies won't be as bad, got like 95 the first day. The delivery quest is 50, then your normal 3 quests are 15 each (most which are kill a mob, go to a facility, do a lv1 craft). Can also turn in on crafting classes if you haven't capped them yet.

This means missing the post patch reset is more damaging though so hop to it!
