I'm on a chocobo!
Holy shit...I feel a little embarrassed, but...I got a little teary eyed when I rode the chocobo and heard the music...

There has been no big nerf, its just different. Monsters are a LOT stronger now and each level means a whole lot more for your character in terms of strength, especially after lvl 35 with the change in the attribute curve... heres the thing; the monsters are also the same way. When you make stats mean something well then suddenly the stats on the monsters mean something too, the levels of strength have tightened. You can't kill things with ease 10+ levels above you now, that is what parties are for. Its like FFXI, you can reliably kill stuff maybe 1-2 levels above your level and with good gear you can solo 4-5 above level although with down time. But you get a ALOT more EXP to compensate. 720 EXP for a 4 level differential kill, 300+ for 1-2 levels above you, and 120-200 EXP kill for things about 1-5 levels below you. You can still get the same if not better EXP then you could before the patch, you just have to find the right camps, camps themselves won't last as long as they did before the patch either. Also with the new link system soloing can be cumbersome if you are not prepared or at a good camp.
As a lvl 18 Lancer I decided to check out the new lowby dungeon and get some EXP, lots of aggro mobs all bunched up together, they will call for help and they will pound your face in if you don't have a healer or additional damage dealers to kill them quicker. Its more balanced, still possible to solo, but there are situations now where you will actually want to have parties around, even for smaller stuff in your level range. A good change imo. Also those links? At least on my lancer I could survive a good 3-4 crab link for a good 20-30 seconds but I just didn't have enough healing power/damage to outlast the links before I died killing off the second crab. This dungeon has areas with like 30+ aggro mobs all in the same room, they won't all link but they will respwn fast so you need a party just to pull groups of mobs and kill them fast enough so you can get past the room before you get mobs respwning on you.

Dated equipment also has a large effect on your character now. Some pieces have changed levels and even had stats altered, so make sure to find...non-dated equipment as soon as you can. In addition to what others have already said, people complaining about nerfs...actually arent " doing it right " this time.
I think armor that has a grey highlight provides no bonuses to your stats either.
Oh also:

damage nerf is so weird
i can't even 1shot lv1 mobs anymore with thm or conj regular attack
but mobs like goats and those lowerend NMs fall way more easily
one thing i REALLY REALLY hate is the timing of your action "clicks"
now, i gotta wait for the previous action to completely stop before doing anything else
or the next action won't register at all

Damn. I meant to log in to ride a chocobo and go right to bed. Instead I messed around until 3 am.

The patch took forever to DL for me, so I wasn't able to log yesterday. Sad. But today, I plan to log and try and take advantage of exp chains and such. If anyone is looking to level some lower r15-20 jobs, let me know.

This is the FFXIV I've been waiting for.
My LS is going to do a grand tour tonight.

Its silent but it has its own battle theme, its cool at first but it gets grating when you realize its starting because 2-3 little gripper crabs aggro you out of no where. Also that reminds me, the new dungeon has small little crabs for mobs
, when you die there endless 'clicking' in the silent environment can drive you insane with how many of them there are.I'm ready to give this game another try. Had a 40 BOT 38 ALC on Karnak but LS slowly started going inactive so i decided to put game on backburner until major patches.
Going to start fresh on Lindblum but with conjurer. Seems like GAF LS is still active and can I join? Also is there a teamspeak/vent ?
