Was hoping that they would change it where you can make 3 Draconian potions for the amount of mats it requires...
No see, most classes have 2 Weapon Damage separating their i200 from i210. So i205 will be one more WD. The gain there is expected and obvious.
Bard/MCH only have one between 200 and 210. They'd literally need a fractional WD rating to slot in i205 unless they adjust i210.
More main stat and secondaries then. Not ideal I'll admit, but it'll help some. Honestly I wanted them to boost Alexander weapons to 215 and make the new weapons 210, but we don't always get what we want.
Uh. They'd better not do that unless everyone else gets no WD boost, too. No reason to solely penalize ranged for their bad planning.
Well, in my highly thorough search I couldn't find any mentions of Expanse or Hive totems in their patch notes either.
* Due to the volume of items added with the release of patch 3.0, they will not be listed in the patch notes.
Lol. Would be really weird if they went back on tokens but guess we'll find out soon!
That was also back when GS was full of mystery and excitement.
They sometimes give undocumented comments (we first learned that Zeta would take a very short amount of time to complete from those) but I don't think they've shown anything big.

What I'm going to have to say is a bit disappointing, because Ultros FC is actually filled with unreliable crazy people XD
No mention on how the changes to Ninjutsus are going to work?
"It just works now" seems to be what the fix is. Probably won't get any technical details unless YoshiP says it himself on a stream or something or until everyone gets their hands on it.

So, umm... After a few months out of the game I've gotten a month and I'm playing with my partner, leveling up a CNJ while she uses the trial.
So many things @_@ And I still haven't even gotten Heavensward. You guys still in Ultros? Feels lonely without a FC

I'll be doing beast trials, new EX primal, Void Ark, airship exploration, maybe verminion. I'll at least try it and see if it's any good.
If 3.2 doesn't pull me in more I'm probably going to stop playing until expansion though.

It's from the airship exploration stuff.
iirc they broke the rule on weapon damage for bards with the leviathan weapon no? I Believe it still gives +1 WD even though the unupgrade bow was ilvl 95
shhh he doesn't need to know that

I'm a little salty fallout 4 exists at all, it's all fair!
On a more serious note, the MCH weapon should get the +1 but the BRD one shouldn't as punishment for their sins (1. being a BRD).

Did you take off Wednesday too? Cause if so you can use that as Fallout day.
Nah, I only took Tuesday off. Needed to save a few days for the holidays too.
Somebody at the localization team is really big on punctuation.

I want this only to watch the community have a meltdown because that's where my chuckles come from.
You are like some robot that is fuelled by the salt of others
I'm split, I'm not sure if I play MMOs for the thrill of beating new content or the humor of watching the community implode on itself over every little change to the status quo. It's definitely one of those two things.
Is it bad that I'm interested in seeing if the game will "die" again shortly after the patch releases?
It's not that I want the game to die. It's just that if we end up right back where we are now in lull status I'm curious to see how they'll handle it. Unless where we're at now is normal? It just seems like there's more of a lull now due to the 5 month gap.

Hunt zerg, airship zerg, an actual matchmaking/ELO system for minion battles, Void Ark glamors. Meh, people will be entertained. The same doom and gloom people will continue to be doom and gloom.
I honestly think there's a real attrition happening though. With each of these patches, a couple more people aren't returning and it dies off faster.
My prediction is Ultros back to being dead within 2-4 weeks.
Things might pick up again once the relic drops. Some posters here we're guessing later December or maybe January for that. If that drops midway between 3.1 and 3.2 it might not be so bad in terms of activity. Unless I'm overestimating the interest in a new relic.
Of course but new people still get into the game at random intervals. With those new people bolstering it, the game will always get back to it's same status quo at each expac and then each X.1,X.2,X.3, etc. will have less and less returners until it pops back up at the next X.0. Not surprising at all.
Also, you need to take however long you think it will take for you to get bored and add a 3-4 weeks to that to get a good estimate of when the server will start feeling "dead" again.
Edit: ^That's a good point too. Relic always calls people back since it is the strongest casual option and although I hate it, it dropping at 3.15ish time is going to bolster this patch a lot.
But it's not getting back to the same status quo.
Take the time between 2.5 and 3.0 and the time between 3.0 and 3.1. The game is more dead now then it was before the expansion pack at it's lowest moment.
It's natural for MMO attrition to happen, especially when an expansion pack doesn't revitalize the game. We're seeing it in action.
