Sigh.. they are F'ing with DF again..

Yep it doesn't seem like they did, having no problems so far. But that is probably because I'm still using it the "old way". The recruitment option - haven't use that yet.

Also, hehe already been grouped with someone who shouldn't be a mentor :P. That was fast.

Edit: Well the "Role Waiting List" could actually make queue's pretty long. DPS might have hell. As healer I'm in a long line.

Those two new dungeons are really fun. As I healer I feel like the bosses go out of their way to kill me specifically. I love it.

I'm thinking server issues are causing large numbers not to be able to log in, and them all trying at once. Not so much that the server is full and there are 1200 people waiting in line to get in.

The difficulty of this patch is kind of off, so I won't be surprised if they actually buff some stuff rather than nerf. Anti Tower was way too easy, that's why people prefer it aside the nostalgia factor. the final trash pull is harder than any of the bosses in there.

Either way, seems people are slamming through this content a lot quicker than previous updates, considering there's documented errors in a few content, I won't be surprised if a hotfix actually ups some checks on these instances. Midas was disappointing purely because the difficulty doesn't match being locked out for a week reward wise, but I guess we'd go through it even quicker if we were let free.

I like more mechanic driven fights but I can definitely see Amdapor City being the auto disband/leave dungeon when people get it in roulettes simply because it takes paying attention unlike AntiTower.

All in all, I like the tank changes mostly for the fact my combos aren't destroyed if I stance dance.

I finally got in, apparently someone kicked the hamster wheel or something. The only new battle content I did was the the first new Alex fight. I think the devs may have been high when they designed that one. Turn into a gorilla to punch bombs away, and then turn into a bird to avoid a ground stomp attack, all while fighting a goblin that that keeps transforming into a giant Hyde like goblin creature.

That's kind of how I'm feeling about bard. I liked it a lot better before the Wanderer's Minuet change, but now I don't like needing to worry about interruptions. Think I may resume leveling ninja again in my free time.

I personally don't mind it, since it brought overall a lot more damage to the job. I just hate the cast aspect simply because if you're casting, as BRD or any other support (supposed), it's to be casting songs, for example the entire line of BRD songs in any MMO, including XI, that isn't present here.

Honestly though, I kind of like that BRD is rooted, because it annoyed the ever living **** out of me watching BRDs run figure 8s and jumping everywhere when it was completely unnecessary to your playstyle, especially because despite that they're one of the FIRST PEOPLE to get hit by every avoidable AoEs.

Yeah, MCH also suffered from it just to keep things "Equal"..eh.

As an aside, if you try Midas, do not believe ANYONE who says the following:

Midas 1: Fausts need to die at the same time. It's a time based fight actually.
Midas 2: 2 cannons is solo soak, 1 cannon is party soak. 3 cannons is enrage (no such thing) Party soak is 2 cannons, tank soak is 1 cannon, drill is spread out.
Midas 3: You need a tank to go in with a healer for poison prison. In reality, you need the healer to stand on the grate, no tank, no dps.
Midas 4: The adds after the boss uses Execution need to die one at a time. No, you need to get them down ASAP or you'll have a very bad day.

I wonder if this is some Official Forum or Reddit trolling, or if people actually like making things harder than it needs to be.

Did LCoA HM with a completely new group. I love it. No, I LOVE it, visually it's the most exciting dungeon since... um... ever.

And I HATEHATEHATE the recast circles. They make it very much harder to see the icon on the button while it's recharging. I was hoping that if I disabled the recast timer in the character menu (recast counts look too much like MP/TP costs) that the clock sweep would be on the full square button, but NOOOOOOO!!!!!

I think that's the first thing I've ever REALLY HATED in an FFXIV update.

That first boss and its "IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE YOU ARE, YOU WILL GET CAUGHT IN MY AOES."

The largest grip I heard about this patch came from a band that hasn't had a relevant song since the early 2000's *laugh* That melodrama has actually been entertaining.

Powerman 5000: "Yo SE! You stole our song!"
Yoshida & Soken: "Who are you again?"

Yeah, as a composer I agree with Soken's statement in general, but when it comes to the western world, it tends to be a bit more.."in your face" if something is similar, even if it's an homage, people will be VERY quick to say you rip it off. I mean, despite how much love Stairway to Heaven got..people seem to forget a very, very, very big factor about that song, but will immediately state any NEW song that sounds like it, is a rip off.
