[patch1.16a] 1.16a Patch Notes (Testing In Progress)

[Gulkeeva]

One month, just for this...
This is quite disappointing to say the least...

Quests improvement were due, crafting recipes are cool, but the choice between the 2 lame targetting systems is just meh...

I don't get why they don't just implement the <stpt>, <stnpc>, etc.. that worked quite well in FFXI...

Their main focus is on Patch V 1.17 which will (as they put it) completely change how the combat system works from here on out and supposedly will be big with various class adjustments, attribute changes, combat changes etc

My two cents regarding targeting:

I don't think they have specified 1.17 to be the combat system patch. May as well be 1.18 too really.

I'm expecting at least Companies from 1.17 though.

EDIT: Fucking JP's and their death penalty talk. It better come after the combat changes are done, and not a moment before.

EDIT2: Then again, they support FF13 style "auto-attack" so that's good.

My two cents regarding targeting:

There's a thread for suggestions from "BG" in the GD if you want to post it there. I definitely agree with this and hope that they'll get their shit together regarding the UI sooner rather than later.

I do feel like they are focusing their resources towards the major battle revamp and that's why all the patches thus far haven't been that large.

Hoping thats the case, would be a huge dissapointment if that update turns out to be underwhelming, it has to blow minds! I am hopeful though, all the patches (albeit small) so far have fixed/added alot of nice stuff

I can only hope you are right, and that these commands will still be introduced later...
