-Patch 2.35 will make a lot of changes to hunts, wont say what changes because he is afraid players will respond to it one direction or the other (stop playing if it is a buff in the future patch, or play too much if it is a nerf).

[Deathbringer]

Also vote dismiss for Frontlines....fucking finally

These changes better be good. Hunts simply suck and easily the worst part of the game.

[Dammerung]

There's already a weekly cap on sands and oils. It's called Soldiery.

[shepardG]

Just 450 cap gc seals and call it good. /shrug

[Silenka]

Orrr just remove soldiery cap and let people get the damn gear they worked for already. Yeah, hunts aren't that much work, but they still take time to go camp and amass seals - I spend around 3~4 hours every week capping soldiery through hunts, and it would easily be a few more hours if the cap was higher. As a newer player, by the time I'm ALLOWED to finish an evenstar set, we'll already be well into whatever patch brings new gear that renders those obsolete.

I understand they want to artificially extend the life of the content through a low cap, but it completely screws over people who haven't had months already to collect soldiery and buy gear with it.
That's also saying nothing of the other sets I'd like to buy for my other jobs... those I just never expect to get before I'm working towards whatever comes next.

[Kuishen]

Caps and lockouts are lazy game development, nothing new with SE. They will continue to do so and continue to be baffled as to why people don't like it.

[Toth]

Very intriguing that they still have not released patch notes yet. I wonder how big the changes are going to be.

[Wulfgang]

Don't the patch notes comes out an hour after maint starts typically?

[Ratatapa]

yes exept big patches that gets a half patch notes before

[Gulkeeva]

only thing looking forward to is the daily ixtal thing, here's to hoping for new things to sell for overpriced amounts to people that don't better >.>

[Raldo]

Probably going to be primarily lumber; hopefully a place to purchase Oak/Walnut, but most lumbers are available elsewhere (which you can still sell for overpriced amounts because people don't realize).

I look forward to finding out whether they plan on actually making us all cap another level of trust with all the existing beastmen in order to be considered 'complete'.

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?"

agree, if Coil was like CT, that would be fine.

some players really need to be saved from themselves, and some of us need to be saved from those people.

[arus2001]

I'm just going to roughly side with Silenka and say those you feel need saving a significant minority and those legitimately stymied by the caps are likely way higher. And this capping system is only going to get worse as they add more jobs.

whywouldyousaythis

Already hinted at that in game ; ; I wont be surprised.

[Raldo]

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.
