Letter from the Producer LIVE Part X (11/11/2013)

The shawl from Dzemael... god no. D:

I'm guessing (hoping?) any hard mode dungeons wouldn't just be harder monsters, but also have some revised boss mechanics as well to make them more challenging than tank and spank.

They said entire new bossss for each HM dungeon

ALLIANCE CONTENT GUYS

[Burningthought]

They're increasing server response times for endgame content and pvp, confirmed on twitter

Q10: Will you be able to form your own alliances and enter Crystal Tower?

A10: In patch 2.1 you will not be able to form your own alliance. You can enter with a party of eight.

Please enjoy 16 pugs and in 3-6mo you'll be able to run it with your bros

[SamanosukeShiva]

No lockouts like in coil either, spam it for lv80 gears lol

[Sephiroth]

That is retarded. While my FC never has 24 online for a 24 man raid (normally around 18 at peak) it is ridiculous that we'll not be able to take everyone and have to run multiple groups. I don't know where SE gets these ideas from. CT is already 4 months late, they have had plenty time to add such a key feature.

Also since you can't form your own alliance you can't even do shout groups, so it's going to be DF only and with an item level requirement of 55 (way too low for 80 content) we'll be seeing some shit players. It's bad enough trying to DF AK. You should at the least have some 70 equipment for 80 content, the requirement should be at least 65, if not higher.

[Therin]

They said you can't form your own alliance, not that you can't form your own party.. Unless I'm missing something, you'll still be able to DF it with a group of 8.

Anyway, if the requirement is AK gear it's going to be a joke anyway so it doesn't matter really.

[solracht]

moogle weapons are now relics

lol this fucking game

[Lokus]

Good thing I kept all of mine, huzzah!... Now I feel less motivated to complete the last 2 relics I need..

Not being able to pre-make an alliance for CT with your FC is pretty fucking dumb as well. 8-man statics forever yo.

[Eanae]

RIP FFIXV 2.0 2013-2013. They just lost their entire hardcore population.

You could be missing the fact I'm talking about alliances.

we will be increasing the item level of the Allagan gear from ilvl 90 to ilvl 95.

he better increase the stats lol

[Rocl]

Q29: Considering how common the relic weapons are lately, it seems like there’s no point in trying to obtain the weapons that drop from Good King Moogle Mog XII.

A29: The weapons that drop from Good King Moogle Mog XII will be item level 80. On a related note, we will be increasing the item level of the Allagan gear from ilvl 90 to ilvl 95.

as it should've been from start

[solracht]

I still want them to clarify if it's all gear or only weapons. Context makes me think it's only weapons, but who knows. Could be either.

[Alkar]

That's what "increasing the item level" means. Moogle weapons are also getting a boost in 2.1 compared to their current form.

Harsh penalty for leaving DF early. You sit there and you die to DF Titan for 80 minutes while the whm spams Aero, by god.

They were talking about people leaving early because they don't like the random party they got. There could be a timer tied to it, we don't really know atm.
