Next version update rarin' to saddle up! (04/11/2013)

[Ligray]

The next version updateis scheulded to come a-ridin' into town at the end of April, hot on the heels of last month's update!

The update will wrangle together further enmity adjustments, reive adjustments, attribute corrections and adjustments associated with weapons skills learned through merit points, cap increases for magic skills, and a bevy of job-related adjustments.

Also coming in guns a-blazin' is all-new battle content which takes aim at players who have completed existing Wildskeeper Reive and Skirmish content.

attribute corrections and adjustments associated with weapons skills learned through merit points,

Ohhhh good I was about to spend 30 merits on upgrading lol

[D44kpunk]

oh neat

[mdkuser]

I read: nerf merit weaponskills.

[Shenrien]

Its not so much a nerf as much as it is a buff, the ws's will become viable at 1/5 giving everyone more depth in their play style, lock 2 ws's at 5/5 because nothing is going to change with that will still be 100% mod, but 1/5 will be 65% mod opposed to ~17%.

[Seha]

It's probably the update to the modifier distribution through merits.

There seems to be a lot of interesting stuff anyway!

Just spent the last week capping Geomancy, Handbell and Enhancing magic! :< Better stock up on those Pitaru's!

[Gokulo]

Surprised they're already adding new battle stuff when people are just beginning to lick Skirmish and Wildkeepers.

I read that as cap increase for magic merits?

[Outlaw]

Where is the UI update? I seem to remember them saying it was going to be done after Seekers came out.

Doesn't mean immediately after

same here I read it too as increase for magic merits, which makes sense considering there are 5-6 magic merits that only benefit 1 perticular job in that department.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong but the way I read it is that they are raising the merit cap for Magic rather than their actual cap. Like how at the moment it's a 24 cap, they probably mean they are raising it to 32 to match melee?

EDIT: And that's what i get for taking a phone call midpost! But yeah, pretty much what the people above me said.

Goodie, so after I grind roots for 45 hours to beat Achuka, Tchakka, and Coklhab and win the lottery 3 times while farming VT monsters to get a Skirmish set I can finally have access to even more exciting content.

I really hope that's some kind of typo or just poor wording otherwise I think I'll probably cancel my account until SE gets a freaking clue. >_>

Give it time. Expansion has only just come out and you're judging it off possibly incomplete information. I mean look at Abyssea, it's not like we knew all of its secrets within the first 3 weeks.

It might mean 'obtained gear from'. If you remember they said they would be using gear tiering in this expansion for content, i.e. you need to obtain stuff from one content to move onto another.

I just noticed that now and just thought how dumb that is, only a handfull of people have doen skirmish, and noone has done successfully a wildkeepers reive lol wtf

I am going to give it time- while my account is canceled. Didn't say I was going to outright quit the game, but right now the the bulk of the content is basically just bushwhacking and highly restricted content and I'm not going to be paying for that. We didn't immediately figure out Abyssea but it did cost 1/3 the amount and still had more things to do. (The restricted content wouldn't be a big deal if there was stuff to do other than killing roots or HELM for iron sand)

But like I said, I'll wait for some more info about this patch before I do that.

Yeah, that's what I meant by "poor wording", though honestly it's not like the Wildkeeper stuff is gamebreaking or anything, despite being really good.

[Fwahm]

I'm 99% sure it means that the content is aimed at giving people who have gotten bored with Wildskeepers/Skirmish something new to do. It doesn't mean that it's a prerequisite in any way.

Of course, it's pretty silly that SE expects people to have beaten these events enough already to get bored...

[Toth]

Awesome news. Here's hosting the job adjustments are in depth. Maybe....just maybe we will finally get the long awaited new SPs.

[LidenbokValour]

You guys are probably right about the merits my bad xD
