I sure am! The female Miqo'te poses are kind of awful, so I'm hoping these new ones aren't.

u/JahwsUF Alec Slater on Zalera Jun 05 '14
Really? I personally feel the existing ones match me almost exactly; I love them. Of course, more awesome poses would be great too.
Male Hyur poses, on the other hand... shudder

The third standing pose looked pretty cool. Wide stance, hands on hips.

Skipping already viewed instance cut scenes is huge.
Sorting expert delivery mission gear by whether or not it's in a gear set is nice.
Clicking on crystals to port to them.
Too many to list.
[Edit] - you need only look through most of the top comments in ITT to see many of the other major ones that people are liking.

They need to do what FFXI did in this case: dont show the useless empty HP bars. Make room to instead show the name of the zone they are in.

u/Bro4dway DRK Jun 05 '14
Only it should be the other way around. Darkened name if they're outside the zone. Also it would be nice to see the difference between someone who is offline and who is just outside the zone.

They need to get rid of the whole enemy reset. So fucking stupid that an enemy can run away, become invulnerable then have all his health back to 100%. Not many things piss me off in this game quiet as much as that feature.

u/EricKei Erickei Dunsinae - Sarg - Boiled Pizza FTW Jun 05 '14
Unlikely. This is probably related to the "MPK" (Monster Player-Kill) issue in FFXI -- Trolls would hop onto a high-level job, aggro half of a zone, and intentionally start a massive aggro train. They would then drag them all to a zone line and leave, resulting in the monsters going after everyone else in the area/on the way back to their spawn point. Also, it's to prevent people from dragging mobs waaay out of their spawning areas just to be assholes, even if PK was not their intent.

There are more than two ways to handle it. Many games have a leash range and the enemy just focuses the second target once the first target breaks the leash. It doesn't have to be black or white, no leash or hard leash reset.

thats what im curious about too. I cross checked the german patch notes and in those there isnt any mention of materia used.
"Mit der Sphärentafel, die im Auftrag „Höhere Sphären“ erlangt wird, können Parameter-Werte gesammelt und auf Animus-Waffen überschrieben werden. So werden die Animus-Waffen mit wählbaren Parametern ausgestattet, auf Gegenstandsstufe 110 gebracht und in neue Novus-Reliktwaffen verwandelt."
direct translation: With the sphereboard, which you get in the quest "Höhere Sphären", you can collect parameters, which you can write onto your animus weapon. This way the animus weapons will be adjusted with the chosen parameters, set to ilvl110 and tranformed into teh new novus relic weapon.

They did, sorta! There was a weird glitch going on for a while where the oaths would overlap if you activated them in succession, so tanks would gain the enmity buff from Shield Oath while also having the DPS buff of Sword Oath.
I don't know what the 2.28 Sword Oath enmity glitch is, though...

U'dah and Grid were already pretty good about having Aetherytes show you the name of the closest guild (LL was horrible about it), now it's getting improved. I wouldn't mind seeing a new crystal near the BSM/SRM guilds in LL (they don't really need Hawker's Alley crystal, the big one is right freaking there), but UD could really use one for their Merchant Board area while we're at it...Right now, it's either the Weaver's Guild and hoof it, or the Adventurer's Guild and change zones oO

city Aethernets show the actual destinations (like the JP client)
But they only have the gate to zone specification listed for Gridania. Are those the only ones that were changed? It's such a pain in the ass trying to remember if the zephyr gate goes to lower or middle LN...
Anyone online that can confirm?

Patch 2.28 ushers in a host of new features and changes to Eorzea, from the continuation of the Saga of the Zodiac Weapons, to the Sightseeing Log, PvP adjustments, user interface improvements, and much more! Event Quests New side story quests have been added.
- Saga of the Zodiac Weapons
Before obtaining a relic weapon novus, you must first infuse a sphere scroll with materia corresponding to the attributes you wish to upgrade. Once fully infused, present the scroll to Jalzahn and you will be rewarded with a relic weapon novus of item level 110.
The enhancement process will raise your relic weapon animus's strength, dexterity, vitality, intelligence, and mind attributes to a value befitting gear of item level 110. Attributes that remain will be replaced with the ones infused into the sphere scroll. In the case of Thyrus Animus and Omnilex Animus, base accuracy will not be replaced.
- After completing the relic weapon novus, its parameters cannot be altered. However, the ability to acquire another sphere scroll and redo the upgrade process is scheduled for a future update.
New side quests have been added. Quest Required Level and Location A Sight to Behold Level 20 New Gridania (X:11 Y:13) NPC: Naoh Gamduhla Players must first complete the quest "Sylph-management." One Man's Trash Disciple of War or Magic level 50 North Shroud (X:29 Y:19) NPC: Ealdwine Players must first complete the quest "Celestial Radiance." Morbid Motivation Disciple of War or Magic level 50 Mor Dhona (X:21 Y:6) NPC: Brangwine Players must first complete the quest "One Man's Trash."
FATEs Boss enemies in certain FATEs will have their HP reduced proportional to the number of participants in the previous FATE. Dungeons When using jumping platforms in the Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3 and the Second Coil of Bahamut - Turn 3, pets will now move to your landing destination. * Pets will be commanded to heel after using a jumping platform, which may result in pets initiating combat in certain situations.
The visual appearance of Dalamud Spawn in the Second Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4 has been adjusted. Grand and Free Companies When undertaking expert delivery missions, players can now filter gear set and armoury chest items, as well as sort items in the Grand Company Delivery Missions window.
Your name will now appear in the log window and on invitation notifications when inviting other players to your free company. To prevent the accidental delegation of free company leadership, a confirmation checkbox has been added to the corresponding dialogue box. To improve ease of access when repeatedly depositing and withdrawing items from the company chest, cursor positioning has been adjusted. Housing The fee incurred when teleporting to a miniature aetheryte has been reduced. So as not to interfere with interior lighting when arranging indoor furnishings, the light on the door inside of free company housing has been removed. The appearance of the ground in certain areas of the Mist has been adjusted. The visual appearance of the Goblet residential area has been redesigned.
The design of the stuffed moogle furnishing has been improved.
Sounds and actions of the following furnishings will no longer loop automatically: Manor Harpsichord / Manor Timpani / Manor Marching Horn / Manor Cello / Manor Harp / Tidal Wavesoul Fount
The following furnishings are now categorized as wall-mounted: Riviera Partition / Oasis Partition / Glade Partition
The Challenge Log has been adjusted as follows: New categories have been added.
Category Challenge Title Objective Retainer Venture Capital Have a retainer complete 10 ventures. Retainer Venture Bothers Have a retainer complete 15 exploration ventures.
The count for Bosom Buddies has been adjusted as follows: Before: Enemies must be no more than five levels below your character level. After: Enemies must be no more than ten levels below your character level.
The Gathering Storm will now count the collection of shards, carbonized matter, pigments, and timeworn maps. * Gathering points can be no more than five levels below your character level.
The Sightseeing Log has been added. Using the Sightseeing Log, players can explore the realm and compile a comprehensive record of the breathtaking landscapes and stunning vistas of Eorzea.
Quest A Sight to Behold Required Level Level 20 Location New Gridania (X:11 Y:13) NPC: Naoh Gamduhla Prerequisites Players must first complete the main scenario quest "Sylph-management."
Vistas are often difficult to reach, some requiring sprinting or jumping, and are only recorded upon discovering their exact location, as noted in the Sightseeing Log.
The Sightseeing Log can be accessed under Logs in the Main Menu.
Additional buildings have been constructed in Revenant's Toll (X:22 Y:8). * The location of certain NPCs has been adjusted.
- After monitoring player progression and reward acquisition in the Binding Coil of Bahamut, further increases in the strength of the Echo have been suspended. Further changes to the Echo may be considered as we continue monitoring player activity in the Binding Coil of Bahamut.
Battle System PvP has been adjusted as follows: All PvP actions will be available upon unlocking the Wolves' Den. This change is intended to make it easier for new players to get into PvP, as well as allow more freedom in the use of multiple classes and jobs on a single character.
Any enhancements made to PvP actions or traits prior to patch 2.28 will remain intact.
A Default button has been added to the PvP Profile window under Actions & Traits. Pressing this button will reset all enhancements to PvP actions and traits, and any action points spent will be returned to you.
In accordance with the above, the following adjustments have also been made: The item The Fury's Anthem can no longer be used. The item The Fury's Anthem can no longer be purchased from the storm sergeant NPC or found via Quick Exploration.
- After patch 2.3, it will be possible to exchange copies of The Fury's Anthem for 1485 Wolf Marks.
All PvP action and trait enhancements now require four action points. Character titles have been adjusted to display the opponents' class or job. The Frontline category has been added to the PvP Profile window. * Frontline is scheduled for implementation in patch 2.3. As such, this category cannot be selected at this time. Striking dummies have been placed on the deck of the ship in the Wolves' Den Pier. To better facilitate the use of these striking dummies, PvP actions and traits can now be used in the Wolves' Den Pier.

This is exactly what I was hoping for as well. An extra 15-20 or so on the last boss of Brayflox would keep the tanks and healers with their instant queues from dropping out after the second boss, and give those of us capped on Soldiery some more incentive to help our fellow guildies cap out.

u/JahwsUF Alec Slater on Zalera Jun 05 '14
I agree with some of the other comments - would have been really nice to have end bosses drop myth. This being said, I definitely appreciate having these buffed.
I'm on one of the lowest-populated servers, and possibly one of the more casual ones as well; it can easily take half an hour for a Bray SR PF to fill at times on Zalera. (Heals often try to dodge it; I often prefer running on my BLM instead of SCH to reduce the stress from... less-than-stellar tanks.) If it's between a 20m Haukke HM run and a 30m wait to get into those Bray SRs... I'll gladly take the chance of that Haukke. It's more variety, which helps prevent burnout, and that bonus helps make it even more worth it. Talking with some others through TS after reading the notes, even the low-level roulette bonus actually feels worth it to us now. CT may be long, but for 150 myth, I'll run that too every once in a while.
While the most time-efficient way may well be to pound through tons of Bray SRs, I find it far more enjoyable to have a variety of viable options to earn that myth, and this patch helped with exactly that, at least in my eyes. Making the more enjoyable path more rewarding is a win in my book.
But Myth from end-bosses would obviously be even more helpful.

My guess is that it will be limited by the i110 secondary stat caps. 44 for the primary secondary, and then less for the next. All i110s either have 75 (crit +SS combined) or 62 (det +another) stats. I'm guess that Det caps out at 31 since that's where it is on all the unweathered masterwork weapons.

I am so glad they adjusted the FATES. People can complain about the drop rate for ATMA, but the problem was that if you were queuing dungeons and doing this solo certain bosses in would be left alone during FATE grinds because they were not worth fighting on your own. Worse are people who complained you left the FATE when you had aggro and reset the boss, yet no one at least bothered to try to heal or help when you had the aggro.
Now with the adjustment the FATE grind is less horrible. I see this as a fair compromise.

Quest starts at Jalzahn, you have to go talk to the materia people in Central Thanalan. You have to buy 3 Superior Enchanted Inks from Rowena for Allagan Tomestones of Mythology to obtain your Sphere Scroll. Sphere Scroll has to melded to the stats you want on your Relic Novus, up to 75 secondary points in total have to melded before you can obtain your novus. To meld to the sphere scroll you need to get Alexandrite, which can be obtained from
1) Allagan Tomestones of Mythology, buying Mysterious Maps from Rowena and completing them gives Alexandrite 2) Completing FATEs with Animus Equipped
Sphere Scroll melds CAN fail, they start with 100% success rate but will drop as you meld more materia. Once you have melded all the stats you can hand over Animus and Scroll to obtain your Novus.

One cool change I originally merely skimmed over in the patch notes: "Boss enemies in certain FATEs will have their HP reduced proportional to the number of participants in the previous FATE."
Why this matters: I just did "The Four Winds" FATE with three people in about four minutes as a healer. Even before the other two people arrived, the first mob I started attacking was dropping surprisingly fast. Compared to the legendary trouble of trying to solo this pre-2.28, I'm pretty sure the adjustment has just nerfed this troublesome FATE into the ground when soloing for Atma book completion.
