FFXIV Upcoming Patch Information 2.3 (July 8)

[Rocl]

Earned my 20 Boarskin Maps achievement on Feb20. I haven't missed a day since. MY BOAT WILL COME IN, DAMMIT. SOMEDAY. My... train will come in? MY ZEPPELIN, SHE COMETH.

have you tried not fishing your maps

[Lyall]

My streak proves the Tonberry never comes from a mined up map used by characters with my name. It is conclusive.

[Rocl]

well that's science, delete your char & restart

only way

[Lyall]

good advise

thank u

[OWS_Tonx]

let me hold your gil for you though promise no jack

[Gulkeeva]

How did you guys get Atma so fast?!
I was even trying the JP time theory and yet 3/12 for the rest of my life...

Just noticed this (dam small browsing window at work).

I pretty much doubt the Jp time theory works considering all the wild random allegations of drops in threads fighting over if its actually JP time, or the server time or what.

I'd say, you better be praying to the RNG gods, you may have better luck >.>

and speaking of craft mats, tawny putty sells pretty fast/well for the nonexistant profit it makes making the stuff.

stuff selling for near 30K each, an HQ terminus putty is like 60K, and the end product of the stuff is like a undercut freeforall. You'll get marginal gil if you HQ (talkin under 100K) and if you NQ, you lose about 100K+).

anyway >.>

2.28 can't come any faster, wtb novus for all my animus's O_o

[Edelweiss]

If you've capped out your crafting classes there isn't much incentive to trade crafting mats for seals either. Dunno, there will always be a market for suboptimal gear, if nothing else it will help you gear to be able to access or usefully contribute in higher level content. CT is a prime example of this. Even though myth and Allagan gear was out there, a lot of people grabbed CT gear for secondary classes, alts and retainers.

That's because you had little alternative besides the Mythology armor, with the prior cap in place.

[Niiro]

With there being no cap on Coil 1 or mythos any time spend acquiring gear less than ilvl 90 is time pretty much time wasted.

With the amount of echo you get for coil 1 you don't even need good gear to start farming it.

You still need to meet the requirements....

tl;dr:

* New Jobs are pretty much Ninja and/or Thief.
* E3 Reveal on new jobs.
* Frontlines will be three-way, large scale PvP.
* New alliance based content planned after Crystal Tower, reveal later in the year.
* FFXIV content takes great emphasis on Final Fantasy games of yore.
* Wyvern pet possible, but either it or DRG will get nerfed for balance.
* Extension/Patches to Chocobo companions.
* Magitek Armor Companions.
* More hairstyles.
* New race for expansion.
* Golden Saucer reminder.
* Minigames to be added to Golden Saucer with every smaller alternating patch. (EX: Patch 2.XX, 3.XX)
* New non-battled related content to be added in 2.28. (Desynthesis?)
* SE constantly keeps tabs on their main forums for ideas, feedback, and information.
* Yoshi-P is more so a fan of NES & SNES Final Fantasy titles.
* Yoshi-P designed the FFXIV lore to revolve around the player-character instead of NPCs.
* Hildebrand updates will contain most of the current light hearted content. More characters to be introduced.
* 8 Armed Gilgamesh battle to come as an extension of Hildebrand quests.
* Armor Preview to be added soon.
* Multiple job duty finder queuing possible, but not to be added at this time.
* Solo & less than 4-man dungeon running considered by the team for the future.

[Niiro]

* Wyvern pet possible, but either it or DRG will get nerfed for balance.

^ This.

I wouldn't mind a wyvern that's there for the looks and shit. Say maybe if I jump he does a jump animation and shit too. But with not additional capabilities of his own. That would be kinda neat.

[Rocl]

That's not how I really understood his quote, I think he was referencing that time and time again making a wyvern as an addition to the DRG class would nerf the DRG's DPS to compensate and he doesn't think the playerbase wants that.

I understood it as some sort of vanity mount / minion if people really want it. "Attack enemies alongside you" could just as easily be what Wind-up Tonberry and Wolf Pup do. I mean, I was looking at it as a minion bit. Or who knows, maybe it'll be a companion/pet usable only while solo.

Either way the people clamoring for DRG wyvern are the absolute worst kind of people.

[Shuichi]

I hope we get a Frontlines preview in the live letter this Saturday.

I know it's not gonna happen. I was fantasizing about a cool way to implement a wyvern without changing drg gameplay.

Most likely part 2 since its not part of the topics for this coming Saturday.

I put them in the same basket as the melee RDM crowd from XI, and summoners whining about their Egis/Avatars.

"But it doesn't fit MY PERSONAL VISION of Final Fantasy"

[Qeomash]

I would be more than happy with a minion you can get from some quest than only 50 DRGs can do. Make it so it has the same emotes (/sit, /dance etc) and can land on your shoulder.

In fact, that should be the only way to implement it.

[SamanosukeShiva]

Id gladly take wyvern and dmg nerf for drg. If it's anything like SMN pet.

[Selamis]

More importantly, when is Dark Knight gonna be added? I need.
