Nuuuuuuuuu, they removed passive HP/MP regain while moving and while having Emnity on.

I liked kiting mobs way higher than me and running around to buy time and regain HP/MP when I got too low.

I r sad.


PS > The rest is kinda nice.

Yeah I'm still struggling to understand this.

So much for resting during major battles...

Re: Changes Planned for Patch 1.19

I haven't been able to download the update (stuck @ 1.5% for hours now even after multiple retries), so I don't know yet if it will work like it does in XI or something.

Re: Changes Planned for Patch 1.19

I tried it out, the game itself seems to run smoother (yay) the interface lag is still there, but I expected that. My main thing is the new recipes, I sold all my dated gear and kept all my tools for my crafts and my crafting gear. I am now just waiting to see about the new recipes, will fiddle with it more when I get home later.

^ there's a small thread burried in the general discussion I think on Lodestone that says SE improved the GPU workload with this patch.

People are reporting smoother gameplay and PC temperatures dropping 5~8 degrees. And if you set the cap at 30 fps the game apparently runs perfectly - though I likes my 60 fps.

Re: Changes Planned for Patch 1.19

And I still can't update (now @7.6%), which is odd considering I was able to update just fine all the other times. And it doesn't look like I'm blocking connections or anything like that.

It's a shame, I wanted to give this patch a try before moving on to finishing Witcher 2 and playing GW. /shrug

The game doesn't want you.

Clearly XIV has been talking to POL.

Re: Changes Planned for Patch 1.19

I knew it!









Playing GW now anyway. Having fun running around doing quests and helping farmers get rid of worms in their fields. Good times, got a guild invite less than 5 minutes after login in. While in XIV I have yet to speak to anyone. Good times.

Re: Changes Planned for Patch 1.19

I still can not get the feel to play the game, I guess it is that "incompleteness" about it *shrugs* I will fool around with it from time to time, and see if I can get the feel back, but if I don't by the time it goes P2P, then I feel I need to move on ;p

Re: Changes Planned for Patch 1.19

Well, I've taken a break from XI so I'm actually quite happy to come back to XIV now. The BF3 beta is kinda competing for my interests atm though.

Honestly I'm just so disgusted at XI right now, I'm more than happy to play XIV again. Seriously, SE can take that lackluster update and shove it up their ass - 2~5 million gil for comet. Level 95 empyrean trials costing about 1.1 BILLION GIL to complete based on the average selling prices of heavy plates across all severs. Generally lackluster/shitty level 95 gear & abilities, and no meaningful adjustments to existing content or really enticing new content.

Abyssea really was the last hurrah I feel. I'll come back around 99 just to check it out, but I am just so glad that XIV is at last taking shape. Yoshi P says it's about 50% done, so it'll be a while longer but they've gone some pretty huge reforms on the way.

J9 posted an unofficial translation the other day, but the official one is up now including the video (it's 90 god damn minutes!)

Re: Changes Planned for Patch 1.19

Things I like so far:

-Improved audio settings. (OMG, FINALLY)
-Inventory (YAY YAY YAY)
-Weird graphical artifacts (My situation, idk about others) are now gone
-My retainers are still where they should be (HOORAY)

That's just the first 1 min. They extended the special "holiday" event and are doubling the rewards, so get them while they're hot. Gonna play around a bit more, but intrigued about doing some crafting (just to "discover" the revamped recipes)

Wow ... the Optimal Rank system got tightened a lot. Even items 1 rank above my current class rank shows attributes greyed out (which indicates you get no benefit) Whelp, time to go shopping >.>
