FINAL FANTASY XIV

[insert Archer/Thaumaturge nerf speculations here]

[Kaiyoko]

I betting fixing that Arc light shot issue. Maybe some increase SP from guildleves.

[jwang]

Mob placement issues for DoL. Maybe. Expect the worst and hope for the best!

[Niiro]

What was the issue with light shot?

edit: also someone once said (paraphrasing) "Hope for the best, expect Square Enix". If I could find the post I'd probably sig it.

[miokomioko]

It had something to do with Light Shot not showing a recast based on your bow's "delay" stat when it should... or something.

Also, I hope they fix the mobs sitting on top of various dangerous Aetherial Gates like The Footfalls and Verdant Drop. Checking them and dying becomes a endless cycle of all your shit going down to 0% durability.

Ah yes, I remember the Mudpuppy (I think) lounging on a certain node in the shroud while I was exploring/collecting tele points. Thankfully this was before 1.18 but it's patently retarded.

Really? That couldn't wait till 1.18a or another issue popped up?

Being unable to defeat a monster? That's a pretty urgent issue. The text fix was snuck in because they were already doing a patch.
