[Kurokikaze]

I ain't doing shit til Tuesday

I meant with that exp chain and link bonus stuff. So fucking good. XD

[Ropeydonkey]

Wow - I'm impressed. A shed load of changes as well as some new content, although not much we didn't already know about. Really looking forward to this patch, I'm even beginning to really enjoy playing, *finally*.

I wonder how broken everything will be after the patch... hmmm.

[Hyan]

Gonna be fun next few days. LIVE letter, patch, plus other goodies (the action rehaul topic will probably be posted soon after 4th).

I'm actually waiting for the 'letter' moreso than the patch.

[Hyan]

ib4 they made the toads and sheeps even bigger

[Kurokikaze]

VIT and PIE on gear no influences maximum HP/MP. I fucking knew this was the case after watching the Ifrit video. Very welcomed change there.

Edit: BRB buying out VIT rings.

[dev1032] The action "Guard" has been abolished.
Blocking with a shield is automated, with the block rate determined by a number of factors, including shield stats.

Lots of good stuff, but fuck yes finally.

[Alkar]

All is good except the Hermes nerf. What's the point in even using them now? Guess I'll just toss them on one of my retainers and forget they even exist.

[Elcura]

Class changes, but nothing to THM? I like and dislike that at the same time.

[Kurokikaze]

Sad to see that the Achievements system didn't make it into this patch but theres enough in this update to keep people entertained.

[Aratharn]

Surprised no one is talking about the mp regeneration added to Featherfoot. If you are a mage not getting hit and have the PGL mastery trait you can have refresh up almost non stop.

[Balb]

So why isn't Featherfoot PGL only?

Edit: well shit

[Aratharn]

I wonder if it is and they just didn't put it on the notes by mistake. Or it only grants the mp regen if you are on PGL and all other classes its still just a shadow

[Elcura]

I use second wind on my mages already, if feather foot gives MP regen then no reason to not set that full time too lol

Also, I don't think all changes are class exclusive, otherwise it would have the same note in Cadence, Keen Flurry, Line of Fire etc

[Balb]

Yea I hope it's a mistake. I can understand wanting to help out DoW classes, but DoM doesn't need access to that, especially since we know Refresh is coming eventually.

[Gokulo]

Sad to see that the Achievements system didn't make it into this patch but theres enough in this update to keep people entertained.

I was looking at the big table today, and Achivs were always planned for 1.20.

[Kurokikaze]

They were initially mentioned in the list of things that will arrive "by the end of the summer".
