Reinheart's Translation via Twitch: http://www.twitch.tv/reinheartv

Yoshi and gang says hi

[Deuce]

Some adjustments coming for WAR in the 2.1 patch. One that was mentioned is a reduction to the Inner Beast cooldown to make them more viable as a stunner for some fights. Ifrit HM was used as an example. Also, WAR will have other adjustments to make it less complicated to play.

Edit: also BRD nerf incoming, lol

[Enygma55]

Per ReinHeart's Translations:

-Mentions of WAR changes to put them more closer on par to PLD.
-Changes to help melee vs range dps
-Yoshi says Titan isnt hard and that maybe people are too zoomed in on camera to see entire field
--asks people to follow good people and learn the pattern, use ur instinct

-Parties with different jobs will build Limit Break Faster
-BRD is a bit too strong so expect changes in 2.1

Craigslist for Parties will be added so you can advertise your party and people can join.

[Deuce]

Brand new feature planned for the Duty Finder. Coming in patch 2.1.

Described as a message board for finding groups.

[Enygma55]

We all knew BRD nerf was coming, cant really complain about that.

-3 New dungeons (1 new, 2 Hard Mode) Crystal Tower, beastmen daily quests, treasure hunt.

-Odin and Behemoth problems acknowledged, will plan to try to make those Special Mobs always displayed.
-Zone limit restrictions to prevent zone crashing

I wish they'd just make brd harder to play well.

But its the right direction either way.

Good of them to go directly to the important stuff before digging in to housing.

As much as I'd enjoy for the class to have some added depth it would make all of the terrible BRDs even worse. I've come across too many relic BRD w/ full DL that can be out DPS'd by someone using Garuda's Bow and AK gear.

Well I was mainly thinking of BRD vs. other DPS like MNK. Imo BRD should be more complex to play than MNK.

[Enygma55]

Only thing I can think of to add more depth would be to work in distance into skills to trigger chain like how flank works for melee WS without hurting the job too much.

Dear god what is his guy's hair supposed to be????

It's an XV spoiler, that's the main villain's hair style.

[Enygma55]

XIV in hair per Yoshi's request.

[Deuce]

I think we all know what Yoshida has been doing in his free time.

[Enygma55]

They are playing Theatrhythm to Garuda's Background music.

[Mistress Stowastiq]

Translation: Yoshi playing the rhythm game: RahHHHHHHHHH!!! Arhhahhhhhggghah!!!

[Enygma55]

Break for 10 mins

-Mention of Baha T5
-working on final mods should be back up by WED.

[Toth]

Yoshida is truly a rock star lol
