Patch Notes

http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/0925caac86d708753315db5405ebe450663fde03

[Update Details]
The following features have been implemented:

-An auto-logout feature has been introduced wherein characters that are inactive for 30 minutes will be automatically logged out of the game.

The following adjustments and countermeasures have been implemented:

-Changes have been made to the behavior and mechanics of the enemies found within the “The Wanderer’s Palace” and “Amdapor Keep” dungeons to counteract instances of players running through the dungeon without engaging enemies on the way to bosses.
As advancing through dungeons without defeating enemies is not an intended strategy, we plan to continue making further changes in the future to discourage this type of behavior.
-In instance dungeon “The Wanderer's Palace” and “Amdapor Keep”, we have increased the amount of AllaganCoins that can be obtained from a treasure chest.
-Reduced the amount of gil required for repair fees and materia removal as follows:

Equipment levels 1-10: 10 gil -> No Change
Equipment levels 11-20: 50 gil -> 30 gil
Equipment levels 21-30: 100 gil -> 60 gil
Equipment levels 31-40: 210 gil -> 120 gil
Equipment levels 41-40: 500 gil -> 200 gil

-Reduced the price of Dark Matter as follows:
Dark Matter G1: 5 gil -> 4 gil
Dark Matter G2: 30 gil -> 12 gil
Dark Matter G3: 70 gil -> 24 gil
Dark Matter G4: 150 gil -> 48 gil
Dark Matter G5: 350 gil -> 80 gil


A temporary countermeasure has been implemented for the following issue:

-For the issue wherein the “Manor Sentries” found within the Haukke Manor dungeon could become stuck and prevent players from progressing through the instanced dungeon, we have changed the original location of “Manor Sentries” to the second floor.


The following issues have been addressed:

-The server would crash under certain conditions during instanced dungeons.
-Characters would sometimes get stuck in the “Binding Coil of Bahamut” dungeon after the party was wiped out.
-Bomb Boulders would sometimes fail to appear in “The Navel (Hard)” battle.
-Certain monsters would sometimes get stuck in the “Amdapor Keep” dungeon.
-The option to return to Home Point would not display when completing a primal battle while being KO’d.
-The entry point for the “The Thousand Maws of Toto-Rak” dungeon was shown in the field in the “Stinging Back” guildhest.
-The “Steel Reign” FATE would sometimes fail to appear.
-Completing the “Behold Now Behemoth” FATE would sometimes cause the server to crash.
-If the player was disconnected during the “Lady of the Vortex” instanced battle, the Duty List, Journal, and Journal Map may display incorrectly.
-The “Notorious Biggs” quest could sometimes be progressed without completing the instanced battle.
-There were occasions where it was impossible to target the snowman in the “Speak Softly to Me” quest.
-The cutscene was canceled if the player was attacked during the “Lord of Crags” cutscene.
-If a player logged out while being bound by duty within an instance, and logged back in after conclusion of the instance, the free company chat would not work.
-Mog Letters were not sent properly in some instances.
-Certain conditions would sometimes cause the server to crash while interacting with the free company
“Company Chest”.
-The “Reach” gauge was sometimes not selectable when in a new, unknown gathering point.
-In some instances, the specified items to collect were incorrect in the “A Relic Reborn” quest.
-In some instances, the specified enemies to defeat were incorrect in the “A Relic Reborn” quest.

So long, King Bowser
 
No complaints. I didn't really enjoy speedruns as a tank and I'm pleased the repair costs seem to be drastically reduced. I look forward to area populations being more appropriate with auto-log out.
 
Autologout? Well will do a macro to counter that annoying function.

Also no crafting balance fixes ...... how awesome .... not =/.
 
Sigh, I was really hoping they patched Wanderers to have the same amount of Tomestone drops as Amdapor. It's getting old running the same single dungeon +infinity.

Really not looking forward to doing this Darklight grind a second time for my second job.

What is the difference in tomes given between the two?
 
Really wish I rushed to the end from the start now instead of taking my time. Only had like 2 days of the speed runs before they are gone. Never going to make up the missed time now.

Wanderer's Palace
50 Allagan Tomestone of Philosophy

Amdapor Keep
80 Allagan Tomestone of Philosophy
40 Allagan Tomestone of Mythology

So really, once you are able to consistently tackle AK there is no real reason to do WP.

Ugh.. so they killed Speedruns without introducing any other decent way of collecting Tomes. That is distressing...

Thats a type of fix that isnt going to happen over night. Now that they know that the speedrun problem existed / fixed it, the designers are going to have to come up with a way to give out tomes that wont break the end game either. And that generally will take more time.

I'm sure the daily quests they had in mind will play a role in tomestone acquisition.

lol yeah, I hate that I took time off from progressing to level up Leatherworking. By my estimation I've got ~35 AK runs before I have full Darklight (and thats ignoring Accessories). Now I think I'll just settle on body/legs and hope Titan is just overhyped.
 
I hope they keep the tome acquisition rate low. People getting full darklight in a couple of days was stupid.

They need more ways to get tomestones, not faster ways.
 
Won't know until the server is up or how exactly they changed the way the dungeons work but I wonder if this will work. Swiftcast > raise the PLD. Tank accepts raise after the entire party dies then just have the PLD raise the healer.

Once you are capped on Mythology for the week is it 5/8ths as fast to clear Wanderers Palace rather than doing AK while having to actually kill trash? How many tomes does Caestrum give out? If you skip all the cut scenes with a full group that might be more Tomes/Min than AK or WP. Once anyone figures this out that is what everyone will run instead. Hopefully there is no clear winner and people just run all three for variety rather than just burning themselves out for efficiency sake.
 
I've never played an MMO before, and I'm actually having a blast. I don't know anything about doing group stuff aside from FATES. I couldn't get into Ultros. Do I actually have to meet people, or what?
 
incoming rage from new 50s who didn't get to take advantage of ak speed runs because they were playing the game as intended!?
 
This is the one MMO that speaks to me: "race to the top means nothing, take it slow, do your stuff, level another class, have you tried fishing?"

So I approve these changes that make it "less hardcore", you know? No speedruns, lower repair costs. Part of the problem, here, I guess, but I'm one of those who welcome the "we don't want players to feel stressed" approach.

Also, I approve of this. After I reach 50, no more PUGs. I'll do other stuff and wait for people to need a healer.

Unfortunetly my life doesn't allow for schedules as I never know when I have to work, but more focus on the guild, yeah, I love you all. ;*****

The people that did that are insane. For the average person it would take 62 runs of AK to upgrade to full Darklight. @ an average of 40min a run you're looking at 41 hours... if you're a DPS add in an extra 20-30minutes of sitting in the queue and the time investment just to see the "real game" is kinda silly.

Do you know if the Cavalry set is only for tanks, or is there a set for LNC/DRG as well?
Click to expand...

The physical DPS set is named "Infantry", and also looks pretty boss. Then the caster set from Longstop is named "Battlemage".

It is odd that these sets all have a unique and really cool look, but the stuff from AK and Wanderers all look missmatched and are reused.

Ask to join a Free Company by using the /shout command in the server you're in. You'll most likely get invites and such, so just pick whichever FC you think is best for you.

Don't have a problem with the changes as well. I like to take my time.

Nice! Can't wait to see what it looks like on my DRG. Do you know if it's better than the level 35 stuff you can buy at vendors?

I have no problem with full darklight taking a few weeks to get. This content needs to last until December (2.1). If people see everything within the first 30 days what reason do they have to subscribe?

That's a good initiative. For a guild this big I'm surprised how little people seem to play together. I've seen quite a few others note this as well and plenty of us are stuck using DF to find groups. I'd add myself to the thread, but I'm only lv41 so far and it might be another week before I hit 50. :P
