I can't WAIT to see how my lolmachine does with the new DX11 client and how failboat gitgud I'll be compared to other folks.  

So excite.

Definitely read in multiple places that this is supposed to be out around the 25 - 26th during the NicoNico weekend or something like that. Don't quote me but I googled a lot in desperation for the same date and that's what I've seen on the official forums from people. Hopefully that's the right date! 8D
I believe this is the same time frame I saw mentioned elsewhere, that the benchmark is coming out with an event in Japan. A NicoNico event sounds extremely familiar to what I've read before so I bet this is it.

Yeah I just looked it up again, it was released to a website called Famitsu, but I can't read Japanese so I'm kind of unable to verify it on THEIR page, so my info came from Reddit. It's the NicoNico Super Conference that they're supposed to be releasing it at/with.

Famitsu is reliable, they're the premier Japanese magazine for video games.

Crossing my fingers, as usual, for new hairstyles.  Not that I ever use them, but I love variety.  They love to stick them into random updates, so hey, a guy can dream.

RE: 2.56 Maintenance April 20 - Kellach Woods - 04-20-2015

Now see, that's something I'd think would happen, too.

RE: 2.56 Maintenance April 20 - Titor - 04-20-2015

I want more hairstyles too :<

But removing Poe caps would be nice for my alt.

RE: 2.56 Maintenance April 20 - Jana - 04-20-2015

The ponytail I want was already confirmed as not coming until 3.0, so I'm not holding out hope for new vanity stuff... Or new stuff at all, actually. A poetics cap removal and Final Coil echo/nerfs is all I'm expecting.

RE: 2.56 Maintenance April 20 - Dis - 04-21-2015

I was pretty disappointed by the patch notes (no poetics cap removal).

RE: 2.56 Maintenance April 20 - Warren Castille - 04-21-2015

Where did all this hope for poetics-cap removal come from? They've only done that when introducing a new stone.

RE: 2.56 Maintenance April 20 - Kellach Woods - 04-21-2015

Mostly because there won't be a new stone come Heavensward, instead there will be two.

Also mostly because by this time I sincerely doubt that anyone who wants that gear hasn't gotten it already unless it's on a secondary character. So to me it'd make sense.

RE: 2.56 Maintenance April 20 - Warren Castille - 04-21-2015

I...guess? It just seemed like a rumor or hope from out of nowhere that stands to be an exception rather than a rule. We've been using poetics since 2.4 came out on October 28. Was roughly 10,000 poetics since then not enough?

This is just something I don't understand.

RE: 2.56 Maintenance April 20 - Kage - 04-21-2015

Not when you have all 50s and want most of the poetics weapons which cost 1300 each. I play 4+ jobs regularly doing dungeons or others.

Not hope out of nowhere but based on their intentions; they've always been about "leveling" the playing field and uncapping poetics would have definitely been part of it. The fact is we're completely losing poetics come June so there's no reason not to unlock it when they won't matter later.

RE: 2.56 Maintenance April 20 - Warren Castille - 04-21-2015

None of that's "required" though. You'll eventually be leveling all of your jobs to 60, yes, but do you need to be 130 prior to that? Shiva weapons are easily bumped to 115 if you can't kill T9 or t13 for the 115/135. Gearing your off-jobs in unlocked WoD gear and Diamond weapons is more than sufficient.

Or, farm the free-farm Coil?

I'm not meaning to be snippy, I just really don't get it.

RE: 2.56 Maintenance April 20 - Kage - 04-21-2015

Does anything really matter? Nope. Is anything required? Nope.

RE: 2.56 Maintenance April 20 - Warren Castille - 04-21-2015

Then why get upset about it? Embrace nihilism!
