An issue wherein houses in residential district subdivisions would not appear under certain conditions.
An issue wherein the dungeon icon for Snowcloak was not appearing on the map.
An issue wherein the bonuses granted by the furnishing item Afternoon Tea Set were incorrect.


tl;dr - All mechanics in SCoB turns 1/2/3 have been nerfed. Sounds like no more "whoops everyone's dead" moments. 10% echo in SCoB. No mechanical changes to T9.

Bunch of little shit fixed.

Nin/Rog ability icons changed a bit. They all looked like one man dancing badly. Mutilate is a mosher, dancing edge is someone very excitedly performing "The Carlton" and Shadow Fang looks like a guy walking like an egyptian. I don't know what they look like now.

Unlocking jobs requires main story progression. Probably supposed to curb gilseller ability.

Easier to read/understand Second Coil changes:

All Turns:
  • 10% Echo
  • Available to Duty Finder

Turn 6:
  • Blighted is no longer OHKO.
  • Bee sting (Bee alive too long) is no longer OHKO.
  • Honey debuff no longer keeps spawning extra bees in final phase.

Turn 7:
  • Renaulds don't OHKO people anymore.
  • Getting hit while petrified doesn't kill you anymore. Petrify lasts 10 seconds.
  • Petrify on Renaulds lasts twice as long. Probably don't need to worry about pushing phases anymore.
  • Purple poison rings no longer OHKO you when they explode.

Turn 8:
  • Boss is buffed less when towers increase at the same time.
  • Having one person hit multiple towers doesn't OHKO them anymore.
  • Landmine detonation is no longer an instant wipe.

Turn 9:
  • No changes other than 10% Echo buff.

Savage:
  • None of the above changes apply to Savage Coil.

I always said that there was no way on earth that they could open up Second Coil to the Duty Finder without nerfing the actual mechanics themselves.

I know those of us who have already beaten these will feel like it's being made too easy, but in all honestly I do kind of believe this is how coil should have been from the start. It always bugged me that compared to First Coil, Second Coil had shit tons of "stuff that kills you or everybody instantly".

I actually liked the difficulty of second coil a lot. Ohhh well. At least they have only added Echo to T9 rather than nerf out all of the mechanics.

Ah that's what I was hoping for, color coding. The icons can all look the bloody same as long as each has a different color. The sideways egyptian is pretty funny though.

I'm happy The Carlton still has a place in FFXIV.

People are reporting:

Blighted does about 3.5k
Renauds only hit for 800 (yes 800)

So basically t6 and 7 you can ignore these mechanics and just burn.
