Don't see why they removed it really. If you want to stay logged in and bypass the auto log out there were ways around it.

They removed it to make way for the new endgame, afk dancing
revenant's toll is pretty much this all the time now

Dancing is the best endgame anyways.
That's probably the core issue. Logging off some of the idles may have mitigated it slightly, but, wouldn't have solved the core issue.
There should be. Think there was between 40-80 openings last I remember looking.

Along with watching Bara's butt clenching crafting sessions.

It's a good thing he's making all that Gil, cause he's gonna need to purchase a new back-end by the time he's done with all that. XD
Yep.
Server is plenty active, as is the FC.
Happy new PLD chest GET!
Tomes apparently reset Tuesday in the early AM EST now. Got it just before heading out to work.
Gonna have mine this evening.

Sadly the gloves and boots in that set, trade useful stats for skill speed, so after getting the chest and pants I'm going to have to satisfy myself with accessories, until I start regularly clearing some of the second set of Coil turns.
Well there's the head piece I guess, but the High Allagan head piece drops in turn six, so it's kinda hard to justify using Soldiery on one of those just now.
Edit: Skill speed is also why I'm only passively farming Atma's at the moment.
It's going to be tough to trade the Primal axe's accuracy for skill speed, and still hit the new accuracy caps. :/

I have a BLM friend who hasn't gotten them in 3 months or so.
I've seen them drop twice, and I send him screenshots each time.
But then I haven't even seen most tank drops in T1-5 and I usually get outrolled on the stuff that does show up, so the joke's on me. I haven't even SEEN the allagan round shield drop.

Yeah it's an odd decision, putting the cap for accuracy so high, and then making it difficult to reach that cap unless you get really lucky on drops, or sacrifice vital stats.
Kinda really important for Tanks to reach cap for these things, since we often have one hit to really pull enemies, and missing can potentially derail the whole raid.
Edit: For context, it sounds like I'm at or near the Accuracy cap for the first few turns of second Coil already, but that'll change the moment I switch away from the Dual Haken. Not even the High Allagan Axe has as good an accuracy stat as that axe. So I'm immediately going to have to find a way to make up near 30 ACC, even if I don't swap out any other ilvl90 pieces with ACC for equipment with none. : /

I know right - I kinda wish that tank jobs got something for critical hits. IIRC there was an MMO where tank classes got nice little procs for criticals (e.g. HP healed, a stacking buff that affects another skill, a debuff, etc.)

No way! That was one of the best changes in 2.2 As someone else said, if people wanted to stay connected, they could do it anyway.
I don't think the two are related. This probably has more to do with the new instance infrastructure they setup that is supposed to automatically scale based on number of users in combination with the increased amount of people currently playing the game.

Wow. That looks really good. Definitely going to try and cap my tomes tonight and get mine if the servers hold up.

So what's the new ACC cap for coil 2?
What gear are you wearing Kagari? I'm thinking of going Soldiery chest this week too. I think Bards need 490 ACC for 2nd Coil, I was definitely missing in T6 the other night.

In other news, Got my Leviathan EX win last night! Main tanked the whole thing. Fight is definitely a blast. If I wasn't so tired I probably would have had more fun.
Another week still stuck on Titan Extreme. And, on top of that, the people that have completed this Trial in my FC have basically said, we don't want to go back lol. Titan X seems to scare people off I guess. But, on another note, I finally gave Turn 1 a serious attempt and completed it. Nothing dropped for my Bard, but it felt good to at least accomplish the clear.
I'm going to put Titan X on the back burner for now and concentrate on clearing and then farming Turns 1-4. I'm certain I can get those done this week and maybe make a Turn 5 attempt with a PUG lol. Oh, and farming ATMA is on the agenda since I finally upgraded my Artemis Bow to Zenith

We have plenty of room. Come join us! Make sure to fill out the form at http://neogaf.guildwork.com on the 'Recruitment' page before submitting your in-game app.
Technically the game itself has been out for awhile. Although it is a totally different game from the first release.
It's not entirely confirmed yet, but for Tanks at least, if you're at the 490-500 range, misses appear to be either minimal or non-existent.
It sounds like it doesn't climb all that much per turn either, thankfully.
Edit: Also thankfully, the Allagan fending headpiece drops in Turn 6, and has a lot of ACC on it. No parry, but it has extra Vit and base defense is higher then the ilvl90 stuff, so it should be a slight upgrade in terms of defense, and help alleviate some of the ACC issues.
2.2 tome gear just feels like it's heavily focused on WAR vs PLD for whatever reason. They definitely benefit more from stacking crit, just feel like we got a slight shaft since crit helps holding enmity to a degree, but holding all the hate doesn't help me if I'm taking relatively more damage in the end from the parry loss.
I'd also like to add that my retainer got me some rare ass ore that I can't even mine yet.
Retainers need to get a life.

Hey, do you know if anybody has made a TPS chart showing just how much more threat is gained from a critical than a normal hit?
Really hopeful that some of the trials in 2.3 drop some additional ilvl110 accessories, cause even those often seem to be a choice between Parry and Accuracy, few offer both.

I did. But I wasn't using the new cover sheets. 0
I don't, but I'd imagine it simply lines up to whatever % bonus you get to your DPS from adding crit. I can't imagine it'd be too substantial.
This is what bothers me the most. I don't really enjoy the tradeoff of MITIGATE BETTER with FFXI DRK TIER ACC or HIT HARDER WITH LESS MITIGATION, I don't care about hitting hard, I need to survive. Not show off big crit numbers.

I just did some searching around and a few people are reporting that critical hits do not generate additional enmity besides their higher damage :/
Yeah, it's nothing extra, just the straight EQHP from the added DMG. With that said, I wish there was a tried and true calculator where I could put in values for Determination and such, then get an estimated output for my auto-attacks and abilities.
Yeah I may transfer later when I'm home from work. I wouldn't mind a change of scenery lol.
Tank's aren't ever going to have particularly impressive Crit numbers anyway. I don't mind having Crit, if I'm capped on ACC and I have high parry, but it is odd the the developers seem to think people want to stack Skillspeed and Crit.
Edit: Basically, if an item has ACC, Parry, and Crit Rate, I'm fine with it. While I prefer determination over Crit, it's still a nice stat to have, "so long as you're not choosing between it and a vital stat."
