This is fine for MorDhona since its such a large zone. I can't even imagine Idylshire can handle loading that many assets

Lmao, people are shouting in Idyllshire for multiple hunt LS's already. Dis gun get gud on Tuesday. :X

[2.0] Players will now be able to use glamours for equipment that occupies multiple slots.

Haha same here...first thing I'm going to do when I log on. Glad I never wasted time to farm odin.

As far as everything else:
lolPLD
Screw hunts
The MSQ quest titles scare me a bit...don't think we're getting what I personally want
Verminion looks complicated at first glance
Excited for skynamis
QoL stuff is decent

Dungeons and trials requiring a full party to register via the Duty Finder:

The Limit Break Gauge will fill more slowly than before for parties with three or more members of the same role. Class/job roles are as follows:

Tank: Gladiator/Marauder/Paladin/Warrior/Dark Knight
Melee DPS: Pugilist/Lancer/Rogue/Monk/Dragoon/Ninja
Ranged DPS: Archer/Thaumaturge/Arcanist/Bard/Black Mage/Summoner/Machinist
Healer: Conjurer/White Mage/Scholar/Astrologian

Does this mean no more penalty for doubling up on one job for the LB now?

LB limitations in general are stupid, it discourages flexible role setups and single-tanking.

[2.0] Adjustments have been made to reduce the probability of targets being determined as outside of the area of effect of abilities used in certain situations.

Probably a fix for shit like Doom Spike which won't hit its target at max range.

G-keys dawg.

And the API. But we all know nothing actually difficult to make is coming.

[2.0] In an effort to curb RMT activities, the number of friend requests players can send per day (Earth time) will be limited to 5.

I intepret this to mean no more half-complete GCDs snapping to "target out of range" because of server-client latency.

If they were able to treat Mudra lag, they could apply the same technique for similar issues.

I am like 90% sure it'll just deal with every single AoE ability having a longer castable range than the actual range. Every targetted AoE like Overpower, Dark Passenger and Doom Spike all can be cast on a target actually out of range, thus completely missing. I would love for it to be an LoS fix though, I'd suck a dick for it to include hitting moving mobs whilst chasing them too.
