Here are some highlights of Patch 3.2 for those who missed out on the LIVE! I'm putting the things that I'm personally interested on top and having the least interesting stuff (on my list) at the bottom. Additionally, I will also provide a link to the official forums so that you can go read other things in more details. After watching the LIVE, I was honestly half hyped and half meh. I think they should have spent a lot of their time focusing on Diadem and not PVP. While they didn't introduce anything entirely NEW, they did provide some more group activities. I guess I'll see with patch 3.2 and where the patch is heading for us.
Release Date
Tuesday, February 23rd!
Levelling is OFFICIALLY group friendly
All daily roulettes can be queued with a group!
- More group levelling ^_^ so we don't always have to deal with Duty Finder randoms! OUR SOULS ARE SAVED.
Juke Box
Basically a music player within the FC/Personal house
- Re-living Animal Crossing now :o we just need K.K now!
Music sheets can be obtained via dungeons, primals, vendors, and other various ways that will be explicitly explained in future patches
- Ubi, you better come wither.
User interface gives you the ability to preview the music before selecting it or getting the music sheet (in addition, it tells you HOW to get the music sheet too)
- That actually sounds helpful :D I don't have to bitch about how to find certain music sheets, yay!
Music sheets are crafted items and some would need materials from primals/trials
New Main Story Quest and 2 New Dungeons
Who doesn't like main story quest? It's literally the biggest highlight of Heavensward. Admit it.
- I REALLY CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS! OHOHOHOHOH. NERU, DO YOUR MSQ.
The two new EXDR dungeons!
- I personally thought they look really neat :D can't wait to try them out. I wonder what the gears look like though?
- Antitower Preview
- Lost City of Amdapor (Hard Mode) Preview
Brief Mentions on Job Changes
PLD will get changes to Oaths - specific details will be in the official patch notes
- Please look forward to it PLDs
AST will get changes with Shuffle (same cards won't be drawn again). As well, they will change their hate generation.
- I had no idea AST had problems with hate generation?? Uh okay. AT LEAST THEY'RE CHANGING SHUFFLE BUT I AM NOT MAINING AST.
MCH will be getting adjustments so they can sustain their DPS.
- I don't understand how Sas is kicking ass in DPS then? But okay!
BRD will get changes with The Wanderer's Paean (not Minuet)
- I think you wanted to say you want to change ALL of BARD, SQUARE ENIX. COME ON. PLEASE. WTF?
Limit Break - the rate of filling the gauge
Raid Content - Alex Midas, EX Primal, & Stats
-- Alexander related --
Both normal and savage will be implemented at the same time
Normal - drop system is the same (dropping tokens in exchange for gears)
Savage - exact same rules as it is currently (with tokens and weekly treasures)
- I honestly don't know why I uploaded this section since it's the same +___+ ohs but they confirmed there will be 2 Fausts!
Pictures for Alex Midas
Gears (speculating)
-- Stats --
Tank Gearing - VIT is more important than STR, so tanks don't have to worry about needing STR gears.
- Yay more gear room for my tank ;o;
VIT will be affecting the potency of physical attacks, so STR will be reduced
-- Primal --
Sephirot - Drops Weapon (only in EX version)
- Welp, more farming, here we go!
- Preview of the Primal
Furnishings, Glamour, Gears, and Others
-- Furnishings --
New housing furnishings are implemented - this includes summoning hair dressed NPC
- Now you guys don't always have to travel to the inn!
Dye preview for furniture works now
- WOW NOW THAT WORKS???????????????????????????
-- Gears --
New Tome gears are modelled after the primals
- It also looks like we might get new hairstyles? The model miqote has a new hairstyle! Also speculations.
Tomes are now called "Lore"
PLDs weapon drops - the shield drops WITH the sword now
Crafted Raid gears are useable in end-game raid - materials will be obtained easier than before
- No specific details on how to obtain the materials, so please look forward to it
-- Glamours --
High Allagan gears can now be craftable and they're also dyeable (materials are not hard to get; however, you need to find the "blueprint" as these are secret recipes)
- I personally like the T7 robe more, not sure how I feel about the sleeves being dyed. I do like the tank coat though, but it's a side view :c
New glamour items are implemented and they can be used on ALL classes
- Do you guys think they're going to make my BRD top craftable because I STILL DIDN'T GET THIS TOP YET.
-- Retainers --
You can now directly sell things on your retainer (instead of having it to be in your inventory)
Hildibrand?
He is officially returning in Patch 3.2!
- YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!
Mentor System, PvP, Diadem, and other things I didn't mention
You can read the rest here on the official forum.
You can also look through this unofficial doc, it has some images in it.
My question for you guys:
What are you guys looking forward to?
Thanks for putting this together! Reading this got me a little more excited. Yay for more story, more lore!! Curious to see the new expert dungeons as well and collecting the music sheets.
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for Hildibrand because they were absolutely amazing. I guess I'll have stuff to do in-game now just because of more story stuff to do! I wonder if the expert dungeons would drop any minions...!?
DeleteI will be getting back on most likely today to finally do my story stuff as well. :3
ReplyDeleteAbout time to do the MSQ!!
DeleteI am sooooo close to hitting 60. Sooooo close. By the time this patch is out, I'll be ready to do 3.1 content. Yup.
ReplyDeleteSeems like you have a massive catch up dude LOL! Go go go!
