Oh yeah, savage delta drops tonight huh.

Not really going to worry about it until I get the rest of my normal savage gear, but there will probably be some experimental parties rocking

I think I'm just gonna do stuff for the new tomes and not worry about it this time around.

I might try to use PF, but I had some real rage inducing moments doing that when Alex Savage dropped.

People watching cutscenes doesn't bother me at all.

People letting the gear roll timer go all the way down when you could use the upgrade asap bothers me.

So much this. I kind of wish the gear roll timer was a huge window on your screen that only went away when you decided on your roll, to get people to actually, you know, ROLL. Worst is how if someone leaves the dungeon after the last boss without rolling you have to wait the full 300 seconds for their roll to expire before being awarded the item.

I don't remember there being any long cutscenes in party content in Stormblood. Believe it or not the only content in the MSQ Roulette is the stuff from ARR. They thankfully never made that mistake again.

Ah I guess I misunderstood when people were complaining recently about MSQ roulette to get some SB resources at lv 70, I thought it was only SB content.

Wait really? I've ditched so many times without rolling.

Yeah, had to back out of Alex Savage quick, too much stress for the rewards.

I though once someone's out of the dungeon/party they're off the list

Plenary Indulgence

Party members will no longer be granted a Confession when HP is restored via Cure and Cure II. They will instead be granted a Confession when HP is restored via Medica, Medica II, or Cure III.
The chance of granting party members a Confession has been increased from 20% to 100%.
The duration of the Confession has been reduced from 30 to 10 seconds.
Healing potency based on the number of stacks of Confession has been reduced from 400 for one stack, 500 for two stacks, and 600 for three stacks to 150 for one stack, 300 for two stacks, and 450 for three stacks.
Recast time increased from 15 to 60 seconds.
Confession stacks will now also be granted to the player casting Medica, Medica II, or Cure III.

Secret of the Lily
Chance healing a party member via Cure will add a Lily to the Healing Gauge increased from 50% to 100%.

Lily change sounds good, wish the recast on PI was shorter though.

They nerfed Balance to original values.

A+, SE. No way you could have figured out that was important a month ago.

(Spoilers: even at reduced values it's still more rDPS than WHM has so... bring on the fights)

THEY FIXED BARREL STABILIZER THO

The strength attribute has been added to tank accessories at item level 290 and above.
* The effects of materia affixed to accessories prior to patch 4.05 will not be diminished.

...this seems... dumb?

I think it's just pointing out you're not suddenly overcapping STR rather than people getting super accessories grandfathered in.

To further improve matching speeds for Duty Roulette: Leveling, Duty Finder language settings will now be ignored.

The AST changes seem fine, but largely annoying in that they didn't just do it from the get-go. I... don't think this is great news for WHM's place long-term, but we'll see.

they didnt do it from the get go because back when balance was 5% aoe, it did next to nothing to increase raid dmg(not my words, the words of the ones who wanted it buffed. it was something like a 2% increase). so SE made it 10 on spread, and it became broken. im expecting the same people from back then to complain about it again.

The only time I can play this game is between 10 pm and 1 am, Pacific time. I've been subscribed for less than a month. This is the second time I've logged in and been informed that I cannot play at all.

This is very frustrating. Is it normally this frequent or is it just because of Stormblood?

Known issue:
An issue when using the white mage action Cure wherein the rate at which players receive the Freecure status is higher than intended.

They left that in? Seems like a nice side buff

Known Issue:
An issue in the Lost Canals of Uznair wherein the sound effects for selecting the wrong door are played even when selecting the correct door under certain conditions.

THIS ISN'T A BUG YOU CAN'T FOOL ME ASSHOLES THIS WAS INTENTIONAL AF

They could make it fun?

It ends up boiling down to people not wanting to grind dungeons, so they move to hunts. And we all know how that works out...
Click to expand...

People move to hunts for elite marks, no one does hunts for the sole purpose of tone grinding and if you do then you're doing it wrong.

Suffering From Success
A lot of changes to problematic jobs show that SE quite literally just doesn't understand ANYTHING about how their game is played. WHAT are these MCH changes. WHAT are these scholar changes. WHAT are these dragoon changes.

Get Yoshi out of the chair.
