Patch 2.2 Notes (Preliminary) (03/21/2014)

[Shenrien]

I can see it now "I died because I couldn't see the indicator on the ground because my screen was pure white, thanks."

Your talking like if it never happened before

[Shenrien]

Yet to happen because I saw meteor once and turned off other players effects.

[Raldo]

Well, you're in for a fun time now.

[Sephiroth]

If the BLM is good he'll time it right so that doesn't happen. People cry about the LB on Titan but if you cast it at the right time it will go off and your screen will be turning to normal just as the bombs drop.

I do agree it's a shitty change though. LB effects should have its own toggle.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Besides, if gaolers die in a really bad spot (north or south), just rotate the whole battlefield 45 or 90 degrees and problem solved. People freak out when things aren't going 100% perfect >.>

Number of times I wiped to Garuda extreme cuZZ people used meteor and didn't saw the tornados after

[Toth]

I still can't imagine how anyone could solo coil 1 2 or 4...even with gear just 20 ilevels ahead.

[Obsidian]

What?

[TheDirtyHobo]

But, by contrast, you can imagine how people would solo Turn 5?

[Seravi Edalborez]

The patch notes are worded stupidly but they mean solo queue like queue by yourself (or in a incomplete party) to be matched up with 7 other dudes, as opposed to how it's initially going to be where you need your full party set before you're able to queue up.

We got a video of it in another thread! =p

People get accustomed to the heavily scripted fights that they lose their shit when something happens that's not expected. I mean, look how people shit themselves when they have 3 melee at Atomos.

[Cutriss]

I haven't seen this in any of the translated notes, but there's this tidbit from the SE "official please look forward to it" Live Summary:

Q18: Half a year has already passed since the game launched, so could you please let us know the development status for add-ons?

A18: The initial structure is pretty much finished and we are looking into when we should release it. Once we’ve just about finished the PlayStation 4 version we will continue working on this. We realize half a year has passed, but please wait just a bit longer.

Sounds to me like we could finally get add-ons in 2.25.

Haha thanks, that makes more sense. People kept talking about entering solo and confused the hell out of me lol.

I didn't mention coil 5 of course for obvious reasons.

[Obsidian]

Clipping into the sky would work on any Turn.

[Shenrien]

T1 - Cads poison still flys to you and platforms under you, so unless you duo and bring a healer along with you it's not viable
T2- ADS has some strange mechanic if you try and fight above or below him he will reset to his spawn position and fully restore his HP.
T4 - Soldiers draw you in long enough to take a heavy hit from everything around you, and enrage still hits you above or below the arena even if you lock position.

T5 is the only place it works, information from a group on Hyperion I know that does this every week and has been doing it since they re-opened turn 5 when you could dc in a conflag and it would bug out twin, none yet to be banned too.

[Shaano]

Well shit I'm curious of said group. There are a handful I can think of that are terrible allagan wielding players but still be nice to know if you wanna pm :u

[Shenrien]

I'm not a fan of snitching, all I can say is watch out for BRDs and BLMs that will do 3-4 attempts or get as close to the 60 minute mark in the instance then start force dcing and log in and if people are still around disconnect again, it takes 20-30 minutes depending on good rng and the persons gear. Best thing you can do if you start seeing that is vote abandon while they're disconnected and it ruins their attempt and they have to find another group.

[dejet]

That is scary lol did not even think about what if your in a group like that. 2 years from now will have salvage bans or some shit again lol.

All I can say is get into a static for the harder shit then.
