Patch 2.5 Notes

**Fryte** · 2015-01-16 18:34

I always run into the problem that I am tabbing through targets and the window pops up and boom. Duty withdrawn. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

**The47thSen** · 2015-01-16 18:57

That's not so bad. Imagine you're navigating some menu with the left-right buttons.

DF window pops up.

left/right -> O/X

You've just canceled your duty.

I wonder..

Spoiler: show

Seriously, calm your tits.

Seconding this with experience. One of our members plays on a PS4. Literally 80%+ of the time I try to bring us into coil turns it's instantly turned down because he 'voted to wait'.

Seriously, I thought 1.0 players bitched hard at all these "are you sure?" bullshit menu's, that SE removed them. Since 2.0 the only thing I see is this shit slowly returning fuckin everywhere. If I am stupid enough to click something then it's my own fuckin fault. Fuckin moron-proofing of the game seriously pissin me off by now.

SE, if you're that dead set on moron-proofing your game (prolly for new 3.0 players), can I at least have a config option where I can tick a box if I want the moron menu's or not? Thanks.

Its because the "Game pad" or whatever its called on PS4 defaults to "Withdraw" if you touch it, i'm drawing this experience from the Official forums not actual experiencee... So one fumble of your controller and hello withdraw. I'm guessing they put Wait there so they can add a new Default? Idk. But... yah idk. the "Are you sure?" to the withdraw seems like it would have been adequate.

Or any of the other explanations tooooooo

**Kaisha** · 2015-01-16 22:10

Why can't they standarize that across the game. I'm still going to accept teleports by accident due to the same problem where they gain priority over any currently opened window and the cursor defaulting to accept.

This is SE we're talking about. You know that "Are you sure?" will default to yes and people will still manage to hit it.

I hope it's just an error in the notes.

Considering the notes mention philosophy, it may just be they used an old template.

So, are we even going to be able to make a full 24-man premade for WoD on release?

**Silenka** · 2015-01-17 00:50

I for one am really happy about the duty window change, cause I'm one of those people who plays on controller and once in a while accidentally withdraws from duty when it pops and I'm tabbing through things. The confirmation when summoning chocobo if you're registered for duty is nice, too!

I wonder if pony drop rate will actually be decent now? I never see them even after the supposedly upped drop rate. The downside is that every motherfucker on the planet is gonna have one ;(

**Alkar** · 2015-01-17 00:56

Yoshi said they doubled the drop rate in 2.4 but that it didn't change much because the original rate was very low anyway (1% o less?). I'm guessing this will be a much bigger increase.
Wanna bet Kirin is a rainbow unicorn?

**Dotsudoku** · 2015-01-17 00:57

Foolishly hoping it's a manticore 'o'

**Ayn** · 2015-01-17 02:51

Actually, I think we have seen him. He should be Pashtarot. This might be a stretch, but re-watch the cutscene at the end of 2.0, with the Ascians in Zodiark's domain (esp the part where they all raise their hands and say "To Zodiark!"). Pashtarot looks like he has some sideburns, similar to the Ascian in the 2.5 preview shots. I did however just took a quick looksie on a Youtube video, actually turning on the PC to watch the replay.

It's Xehanort. Or whatever his name is.

This or rainbow pony. Anything else is a travesty.

Even though this was used for the Chinese version of the game, I really hope this is what we get

Reading about the new Frontlines mode just reminds me of why I still don't really do any Frontlines; can't play with friends from another GC. Just making it a free-for-all would do wonders for helping with the queues.

I guess since Wolves den exists there's no reason to break the lore portion of frontlines. Even though I'm 50/50 on using lore as an excuse, Frontlines literally is a GC based PvP system. It was fine when there were actually more players doing it..but like any MMO, when players drop and interest in an event starts dropping it becomes far more noticeable.

Probably why they're adding a Frontline Roulette now, hoping people will do it at least once a day.

Still, I wish they would add an Unaffiliated PVP system.

I am not sure you understand what I am on about?
In the 2.5 notes it says:

When using a gamepad, the default selection is Wait.

So from patch 2.5 it will be like the Ready menu is now. Default selection for Duty up to 2.5 was "Yes", which I love! Because it allows me to just ram that button while I do other shit, one of the things is surfing the web because plenty of fucktards withdraw and whatnot to just waste my fuckin time, so I got controller enabled when window isn't focused and just ram A (Xbox controller lolz) when I hear the duty sound.

It's a minor gripe, but I know 1.0 players bitched about these idiot proof menu's and it's like: well fuck that, they are all back!
