Patch 2.2 Notes (Preliminary) (03/21/2014)


Recommended Posts

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)"

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 >_<;

 

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

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

 

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. ^ ^

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

They also did not list any items from the new GC ranks, or what the new GC ranks are called.

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.

 

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!

I apologize for my ignorance, but I'm a bit confused about retainers.

 

It says a retainer can't have a higher level than you, and that they can't be any job you haven't unlocked yourself. Does this mean that, for example, my White Mage can't have a high level lancer retainer because she's not a high level lancer herself? I wanted to recreate my partner's lancer miqo'te, but now I fear I won't be able to ;w;

Link to comment

I -think- so. Some of the comments I read on reddit imply that even if you have a 50 PLD and a 20 BLM your retainer can't be higher than 20 (I assume BLM/THM is the retainer's class/job??)

 

I take it to mean that you sort of train your retainer in that aspect.

 

edit: a friend of mine is insisting that T2 Enrage method is getting borked but based on Yoshi-P's answers at the time I don't see it happening for 2.2, if at all.

Yessssss. Best FFV music ever.

Totally why

Q35: Will the music for the Gilgamesh battle in the Hildibrand line of quests be “Clash on the Big Bridge”?

 

A35: Yes, it will!

 

Brought the biggest grin to my fact. let alone the fact we heard it in the trailer.

They "mistakenly" nerfed the enrage method once already, then undid it. Even then it was only slightly harder to perform than before.

I naively still trust their explanation that it was a fault of their trying to fix a bug to their random AI/gambit system that directly conflicted with the enrage method. He insisted that it just the mistake of putting in something from 2.2 into 2.16 (Twintania) but then later said, "well they undid it saying it wasn't intended but they never said that they wouldn't change it."

 

I don't see the argument for it though. SE has already shown that they want to make this older content so it's not a wall in players' progress. Allowing the enrage method keeps with that.

 

In regards to whether or not it was "only slightly" harder, no one posted at the time what ilvl their healers were as well as their dps. At least, none of the posts I read included them.

 

 

 

But yes. TANK MOUNTS :D
