    Machinist special ammo from Reload will no longer be on a timer. So you can just load in preparation for a fight, and have a full stock of special ammo ready, in addition to having Reload off of cooldown as a fight starts. A lot like Arcanists with Aetherflow.

    I imagine this will lead to some interesting changes in Machinist openers for boss fights, now that you effectively have a little under twice the ammo to play with at the start.

    It shouldn't really change the machinist opener, since using quick reload reset the timer and let you maintain all 5 ammo stacks until reload came off cool down (you just had to spam quick reload while everyone else was setting up). It is a nice qol change though.

    Players can now report RMT messages via a menu in the log window.

    FINALLY.

    My blacklist is full of RMT'ers.

    I'm wondering if this report function automatically blacklists them, too.

    I assume 'RMT' refers to gil spammers but what exactly does it stand for?

    Real Money Trade.

    So question: I realize that the game sometimes references things you've done in previous quests as part of the cutscene. Like doing the DRG quests gets you some extra dialog during HW, for example.

    What I'm wondering about is if you unlock a cutscene where you didn't do the corresponding quest, but then go and do that quest afterwards, will the cutscene reflect the change in your progress when you rewatch it at your room?

    OH, I just ran across this for Wonderous Tails.

    "Please note that no two players will have all of the same objectives."

    That's actually really cool of them so you don't have a lot of people teaming up on type of objective.


    also:
    The limit break action has been adjusted. - Players revived using the following limit break actions will no longer be inflicted with Weakness. Furthermore, players already suffering from Weakness will be cured of the status effect.

    No. The book always reflects the base version. Hence why SE has been heavily hinting to players that they may want to get their T13 clear before the patch drops.

    Players can now specify the number of items to be exchanged at certain NPC shops.

    "NPC shops that require an exchange of tokens such as Allagan tomestones or beast tribe currency will now allow players to specify the number of items to be purchased."

    oh man, do I so approve of this QoL change.

    Oh wow, I may have a use for my centurio seals since they are lowering and adding things in.

    I actually looked at that and thought "That is statistically impossible to guarantee." Then I realized I was probably overthinking it. ;-)

    I'm interested but I'm only 58 (and don't know the fights) so I dunno how effective I'd be.

    Well, thought I would be able to get my new relic before the next patch but I'm nowhere near done with the unidentified items stage and they're probably adding another step next week.

    Sigh. I'll get there eventually. Eventually.

    Relic stages are usually on the mid-cycle patch. The relic is meant to be a catch up weapon

    Tried Turn 5 with a pug... wiped a lot, not enough communication, only one other guy provided useful feedback, most players probably didnt speak English. I learned a lot, but phase 3 has too many instagibs to run with first timers.

    Im sad, I figured I could knock out some turns to catch up on that particular sidestory easily!

  • CaedwyrCaedwyr Registered User regular
    I pugged Turn 10-13. Great end to the raid. Turn 9 is probably the hardest part at this point in the gear cycle.

    I kind of want to return to T13 some day and do it synced. That looks like a much more fun fight than T5 or T9. Fewer auto kills, more dancing.

    T9 was fun, and I'd like to do it legit one day instead of just winging it through the fire/divebomb phase, but yeah t13 was really cool.

    Just a bit of additional incentive:

    T5, T9, T12 and T13 drop multiple, and I'm talking 4-5 of them, orchestrion scrolls every time you kill it with level sync active. You don't need to min ilvl sync, but you do need to be level synched.
