I'm currently at "Time Remaining : Unknown"; I assume this is a >12 hour time left placeholder

Little did we know that this was the final patch. A patch so large, it is endlessly increasing. We will never play it.

Whats the point of a lvl 4SC when our DNC already does double Dark's for 50~99k depending on the fight. Is that lvl4 skillchain really going to add to the MBs that much that its worth the lose of that dmg from the DNC(or thf)?

Of course this is talking about thf and dnc only and the crazy mod on RS.

Exactly.

This update is pretty lame for a "final major update." They talked about doing more job adjustments in the future and that's the only thing I'm waiting for.

(unless by some miracle they increase exen dmg exponentially with the dagger) making t4 sc would be irrel.

however, the weapon would still be great for the dnc!

This is from the Matsui letter of official site:
As announced in March, we will continue minor version updates through and beyond April 2016. Each month we will bring you battlefields, Record of Eminence additions, balance adjustments, and bug fixes. Vana'diel's story does not end here, and in the near future we are planning a version update for December. We will have further updates in the weeks ahead, so stay tuned for more.

Guess some of us were right in thinking when they said major it didn't mean the normal monthly/bi-monthly updates that they had been doing counted.

Yup I think our dnc would be happy to close his double dark skillchains with a 3000% tp mods.

Guessing the Golden shovel cordon is the new library achievement the update notes mentioned

[Suteru]

Anyone know how broken Windower is?

[Funkworkz]

Anyone know how broken Windower is?

I am in game and everything I have checked is working so far.

[Nitrous24]

new gear will likely cause issues until the resources are updated, but other than that i can't think of anything that would be terribly broken

[fillerbunny9]

are they maybe throttling updates outside of Japan? I was at roughly half downloaded, timed out, and now it literally takes a couple seconds for a single file to download. I'd have better luck flying there, getting a disc, and flying home, at this rate >.<

[Sechs]

So...

Coalitions
Cost of receiving services from the various coalitions decrease to the same level they would be if the coalition was fully edified.

This refers to the new change they added this patch of course, but what do they mean for "coalition services"? What exactely is a coalition service?

[Fwahm]

Buying gear, buying medicines, buying runes, the fee for augmenting, etc.

[Commskywalker]

The way they handle updates where they send you a single file at a time doesn't help the situation at all when so many people are downloading such a large update at once.

[vm0d]

w.waters hp4 added @ cooking guild, w.woods hp5 added @ clothcrafting guild, w.port hp1 moved 50' to fishing guild pier

Are those the aeonic weapons in .dats? Wow they really used the merit WS as the weapon specific ones lol, talk about lazy.

Told ya that was the most likely thing to happen.
They already mentioned in the past how "huge of a work" it is to create new WSs.
With how little resources they have and how they were clearly focused on creating other new things (Reisenjima, Cutscenes etc) there was no space for new animations.

They could've still created new WSs by merging old animations with different 2D graphic effects (kinda what they did with Empy WSs). That wouldn't have been a huge work I guess, but after spending so many resources reworking all the old WSs, creating a new "ultimate" WS would have kinda gone in the opposite direction and made all that work go to "waste" no?
Wonder if these weapons "unlock" the WS without you spending merits on them (doubt it) and if they give an X% bonus to their damage, because many merit WS aren't really... stellar, let's say.

Think Aeonic also give a hint on the reworked RME. They're gonna have same special stats, but higher base damage and +269 skill I guess?

I pray that I can make the ultimate skillchains with my other Weaponskills.

From the description it leads me to think that using the merit WS starts the aftermath, and once you have the aftermath up you might be able to create the 2 special SCs with anything that would make Light or Darkness, but the final result will be the new SC?
Dunno, just throwing a guess.

[Sechs]

The Bard Aeonic looks interesting. Able to use Honor March and song duration+50%. So, new tier of March, dunno if the Song Duration is gonna be worth it over Songs+ from Ghorn though.

50% duration should be more or less the same duration granted by song +4 from Horn, unless I'm thinking about somethin else.
So basically you could use the Aeonic for Honor March, and Horn for everything else, and the final duration should be pretty similar so it doesn't fuck up your rotations.

Given how little relevance BRD has as of late I'm not sure it's gonna change much but regardless, all hardcore BRDs will probably want to get one of those instruments for sure.
