Patch 1.23b patch notes

**miokomioko** · 2012-09-16 13:14

The fact that claiming is required to get drops from this live event is the dumbest idea... while at the exact same time they have another event going on where claim doesn't matter. Are a pair of hats supposed to be that much more elite to have than infinite grand company seals?

**Sephiroth** · 2012-09-16 14:26

So apparently I can trade my newly acquired Commemorative Coin for 25k seals... I'm tempted not to, that way I can go into V2 with effectively 75k seals. But can I trust SE to still allow this coin to be traded in V2? >.<

**Stromgarde** · 2012-09-16 14:36

If nothing else, it will be worth 10 times what it is today in terms of gil!

**Sephiroth** · 2012-09-16 14:52

Haha indeed. But the thing that concerns me is I don't think most of the current GC quests are going to exist in V2 since they're centred around the seventh umbral era, so the quest that gives this coin might disappear too.

**Niiro** · 2012-09-16 15:00

You've got the coin already tho, don't see what difference it makes.

**Raldo** · 2012-09-16 15:07

Atomos can easily fill up your seals to max. Just hold onto it.

If you can't trade it in 2.0... then you're no worse off, because you already have capped seals.

**miokomioko** · 2012-09-16 15:10

I don't think they are adding items this late in the game that they are going to wipe.

**Raldo** · 2012-09-16 15:17

They're not wiping any items... Maybe I'm misunderstanding what you're saying.

**miokomioko** · 2012-09-16 15:27

They are at least wiping all "dated" items and some of the old materials that are only part of old recipes.

**Stromgarde** · 2012-09-16 15:43

In the latest letter Yoshi-P explicitly stated that dated items would not go poof, but instead simply no longer be obtainable. Further, they might be made R/EX.

I'm not sure why you'd think they'd ever wipe peoples' items. They're merely no longer obtainable. Also, what Stromgarde said.

**Sephiroth** · 2012-09-16 17:22

Well my point with the coin is that the NPC may stop offering 25k seals for it if the item is no longer available due to the quest not existing, not that I'd lose the coin.

But Raldo is right, Atomos is going to max my seals so easy I may as well take the risk. I've almost ran out of things I want to buy, just one more session needed. Still expecting a nerf of some kind early this week as it's still too good.

**Grey Jorildyn** · 2012-09-16 17:54

This whole event is making a huge mess of things. As I ran out of things to buy months ago, it's been pure profit for me. Eventually everyone will get to that point and even more gil will be thrown into the economy. The end of this event can't come sooner. If this goes on too much longer it could possibly have huge negative repercussions on the value of gil.

That said if the translation for that dev comment on the gil slashing is true, it might not matter so much in the end. Just kinda has that rusty cap feeling all over again, and we all know how that went.

**Sephiroth** · 2012-09-16 18:04

Kinda makes me think SE's intention behind easy seals was to let us play with the GC gear now because it will nearly all be obsolete in V2. I mean surely they will add new ranks with better gear. Dawn drops was an oversight but everyone is aware of it now, someone was telling everyone at Blue Fog today.

They are removing all dated and obsolete materials from the game. That was the entire point of them being prefixed with "Dated" and being strictly worse than the newer versions made with updated recipes.

**Draylo** · 2012-09-16 18:21

You people act as if gil had such a huge meaning prior to this, people were sitting on truck loads of it with nothing to spend it on since they were diehards that played 24/7 since day one maxing crafts and such and whatever flavor of the month trick to make gil.

They are not removing any item from the game, they are merely making them no lonber obtainable. The entire point of them being prefixed with "Dated" was to make it easier to identify. The gear isn't going anywhere, the ways to obtain them are.

There is no advantage to them removing them from the game, so I don't know why you think they're going to.

Q: Will dated items remain in A Realm Reborn so that it will be possible to equip/trade? Will it be deleted?

A: Since these items will not be obtainable in A Realm Reborn, we're considering making them unique/untradeable. However, we don’t have any plans of deleting them, so please rest easy.

No advantage, huh? Have you ever searched for something in the Market Wards? Ever?

I'm not going to shit up the thread anymore, you can think what you like to think.
