Check out @reinheart on twitter, he is usually pretty good about translating as it goes and puts up a google doc with the details. If I'm able I'll try to get a thread going here with the highlights.

Players will now also accumulate GP when playing as a Disciple of War, Magic, the Hand.
GP will no longer reset when changing to a non-gathering class.

As a miner, I want to french kiss everyone at SE for this.

My favorite change too

Yeah this is pretty awesome IMO

We did 3 man PVP last week. I think he "unfair advantage" was the fact that we had a 5 second wait, and the DPS we picked up had been waiting for 30 minutes.

30 minutes Smiley: eek

PvP isn't a popular activity in XIV just yet I take it?

Nothing to address the lag issue some have for Titan...
Nothing to stop the locking out glitch people use in ct which is one of the worst and should have been addressed instantly.
Hmm no duty finder roulette for two..

That's actually pretty stupid of them... they could have just made it so you can queue for ONLY in-progress...

Not sure I agree here.

A queue is essentially a line of players waiting for content. Instances which are already in progress should have priority because those players were already in line once. Most any other MMO runs this way and I think players accept it because it's the sensible and courteous way to run it. If there is a group in-progress and you would fill the role they need when you queue up, you should be placed in their group.

Using TERA as an example, you don't have the choice of which type of group you get but they do provide you a bonus reward at the end for coming to a struggling group's rescue. I always thought that it would be a nice touch if your reward at the end for joining in-progress groups was a random piece of gear for your class from one of the bosses you missed. I think the only problem I came up with that people would have(aside from not having an option anymore if they got used to it) would be if you needed a specific boss for quest progression or gear.

I don't think it would really impact XIV that much because gear is irrelevant until later in the game, but in TERA you run dungeons several times and the quests are repeatable anyway. With dungeons now being a viable source of exp, I think they'll be getting more traffic anyway.

Its personal preference and all, but yes we need to educate WoW players that this is OUR game, these are Characters and not Toons. Time to beat that into them one at a time.

It's a popular activity for a DPS, which is why the wait is 30 minutes for a lone DPS and about 30 seconds for a trio that already has a white mage and a paladin in it.

That's actually pretty stupid of them... they could have just made it so you can queue for ONLY in-progress that way you don't have to decline ones that are not in progress... that would have fixed the issue and everyone would have been happy... that way people who wanted to run it from the beginning could do so without people leaving the queue so much, and people who are trying to get in for the 2nd half only can do so without having to leave and re-queue when it's not in progress.

It's amazing how people keep bringing that up as if it was a valid solution on its own. It's not. If you make Join in Progress ONLY Join in Progress in the current situation, it screws over the people who just want to get in, partial or not, like me. Even Withdrawal spam penalties would work better because it doesn't intentionally penalize an entire subset of people that aren't causing the problem. They would need to do a bit more work and include options for both Join in Progress and a fresh start for selection. Once they do that, THEN making Join in Progress only Join in Progress would be valid.

I copy/paste, and then forget to edit the copy, all the time. At least my mistakes don't go international.
