Patch 6.3: Gods Revel, Lands Tremble (January 2023)

[Prothescar]

Idk. The open neighborhoods were cool for a time but man. I feel like I'm the only one in my housing ward basically ever, and most people around me haven't redecorated since Shadowbringers. I'm on a relatively busy server because of streamer activity (midgardsormr) so it isn't just cause there aren't any players

[Lokus]

My friends and FC (those that still play) have basically made the FC house our hangout spot since ARR and even back then, it was somewhat rare to see our neighbors, even moreso now. At the start of Endwalker there was some activity by the marketboard but now I only ever see 1 neighbor and an occasional apartment denizen since it's right next to our house.

Unless your ward happens to have a twitch club close to your house bringing in randoms, it's gonna be fairly dead since everyone just hangs out at Limsa instead.

[Shenrien]

The wards I have houses in are basically dead, the empyreum plot I got has nothing but FCs dedicated to submarines so its really shitty to go around and find that your neighbors basically non-existent. I should have just kept it in the goblet.

[Lokus]

Doesn't help that there are an assload of wards to further fragment the neighborhood feel. They would have to do something similar to New World where there is one ward (or 3 so SE's servers don't die in a fire) but multiple people can purchase a plot. The plot displayed would be yours if it's your house and random or some other arbitrary mean for other people but it would still funnel people to one location.

[arus2001]

Still say they should just do an instanced "neighbors by friends" system. Pick a location, then a grid type (3x3x3, 2x5, etc) where you assign your plot then the locations of friends, empties, or randoms, and then that little cluster generates. If you actually want to enter a neighbor's home and are able, then it shifts to their cluster. No demolition shit. No fighting over ward space. If players wanna organize duplicate neighborhood placement for the sake of consistency, they can.

But nah, gotta milk the subs from RPers.

[Athas]

PS2 limitations.

Patch is live on the 10th. Maintenance won't be 24hrs.

[Lokus]

Based on the Fanfest dates and the patch cycle, 7.0 is likely gonna be Spring/Summer 2024.

[Corrderio]

Any details on the PLD updates?

[Prothescar]

Removing Dots, shortening the combo, adding a free burst skill (Divine Might) after every combo, changing Bulwark and Holy Sheltron to pure mitigation

[Corrderio]

Sounds promising. Good thing too since I'm starting to REALLY love Gunbreaker and trying to memorize DRK opener

[Anoat]

Nophica and Halone looked amazing

New ultimate based on Omega raids, neat

[The Stig]

the new deep dungeon is a level 90 cap from the preview I saw on the live letter

think there would be a new potion recipe? There hasn't been one since stormblood

I just crafted 1000 HQ super pots and thinking about gambling and holding them all until release, but then thinking about it if they put in a new potion recipe then that would be the better one overall maybe? hmmmm

[Corrderio]

So with the PLD changes will we see them in the early patch notes or the ones on the day of the patch? I know they normally avoid mentioning job changes until the day of the patch but curious if PLD will be a special case.

[Vaspinne]

Wasn't there talk about big dragoon changes too? What happened to that?

Coming in 7.0 I believe

[Corrderio]

Yep. DRG is 7.0. Dunno what they're doing but if they redo Nidhogg's Gaze or whatever the left//right eye ability is called I'll love them.

[Anoat]

Button bloat is getting to be quite noticeable for DRG rotation especially on a controller so I wouldn’t be surprised if they do a lot of condensing abilities in addition to making room for new stuff up to 99
