Hydaelyn Role-Players

Quote:Patch 2.2 contains myriad additions and refinements to the realm of Eorzea. Players seeking the thrill of combat can face off with Leviathan or brave the new twists and turns of the Binding Coil. Artisans can try their hand at demanding new recipes, and master anglers can reel in legendary denizens of the deep. From new dealings with the beast tribes to new dances sweeping the land, there is much to see and more to do in the ever-changing realm of Eorzea!

Things I thought were interesting/great to confirm:
LoTA: Gil reward

BoC T5 must be completed in order to get the quest "Another Turn in the Coil" which is a pre-req for T6-9
Players may now enter the Binding Coil of Bahamut via the Duty Finder with a full party.
* With a later update, the Echo buff will be applied to all party members upon incapacitation. Moreover, a full party will no longer be required to register via the Duty Finder.
The weekly limitation on lotting items has been abolished.

Amdapor Keep Got even further nerfed at Demon Wall
- No more BEES

Echo is being added to other things, not just Coil:
Players will now receive the power of the Echo in the event all party members are incapacitated during certain trials. Hard Modes, Extremes, Chimera and Hydra

T5 min avg ilvl to get into it once people can queue by themselves by DF: i82

New Grand Company ranked items - things were shifted
Most of the mats if not all that were bought using Philo are now through GC
>Sultana and Flame General portrait

Weekly reset timer has been moved for certain events to 1am PDT Tuesdays

Why do this:
Limit break effects will now always display regardless of battle effect settings in the Character Configuration menu. D: Meteor anyone?!
Return can no longer be used when engaged with an enemy.
-Pretty sure this means I can't return in CT when I know it's a wipe T_T


From the Live Letter Notes I'm seeing on Reddit
No. Fantasia is not confirmed. They're working on it "asap"
24 man Premades for CT will most likely be in 2.3
Golden Saucer hopefully 2.3
"•Gilgamesh battle will be available for everyone to join in so it's fun and not hard (8 players)"

Thank you for posting some thoughts and notes...I am at work and can't see the actual link so it was nice to see some things.

No bees = good. LOL!

And we can always use a good tall glass of meteor in battle.

I've read the notes, but I haven't found anything related to the items we can buy with the new tomes. I must have missed it >_<;

It may not be there yet as these I am guessing are just preliminary notes. Maybe?

They didn't say anything specific >< But they're related to Gerolt's Masterworks which include

Probably just preliminary/not spoilery. They also did not list any items from the new GC ranks, or what the new GC ranks are called. Ditto that for the new crafted stuff. Expect it all to be covered when the patch comes. ^ ^

Nope. No worries, though and thanks for trying. I will take a look when I get home from work.

Almost forgot, further confirmation of individual housing! Moar preparations to build me a village*! Wheeeeee!

(*this village shall be run under Duskwight Law. Duskwights not responsible if you are rolled, injured, or otherwise molested and your stuff taken. Duskwight Law!)

What if I did it like this

Thanks! I can see it now.

This is my bad. I phrased it horribly. There's no actual new GC ranks but that there are new ranked items. Things were shifted and Formerly-philo mats have been added.

Ah, spiffy. No worries. Still it is expected that they left some things out.

Well yes they did say it was preliminary after all.

Quote:Q39: How hard will the Gilgamesh battle be?

A39: We designed this with the idea that we’d like everyone to have a good time, so the difficulty won’t be that hard. I believe you’ll be able to beat it with eight players trying the fight for the first time.

This makes me super excited xD; I want to enjoy that wonderful Clash on the Bridge!
