Dev Tracker: Discussion

[shepardG]

so my inventory is laid out like this

mog safe = main,off hand, ranged, ammo, grips, shields (furniture) AKA, the top row of the 16 equipment slots

Storage = PLD, heavy dd, mnk,nin,sam, stuff : currently using 10-20 slots of this for various accessories due to space

locker = Mage crap, including mage specific staves, grips, ammo, etc.

satchel = light armor jobs (Thf, Rng, Cor, dnc, etc.)

sack = all accessories, pretty much shit always have access to this crap, if for some reason i need it

case = Misc crap, consumables, loot, crests, mog slips, warp items (tav ring, warp cudgels, nexus cape, etc.), craft gear (smocks, mitts, sunglasses, etc.)

So i'm pretty stoked that i'll be able to move most of my accessories into a new 80 inventory (specifically, any PDT/MDT/DT piece for any jobs, universal acc. pieces (mars's ring, that neck from delve, etc.) and free up a fuck ton of inventory to carry around more actually visible pieces for better gear sets. being able to take my full Qaaxo set on corsair excites me.

I wonder if Mog Wardrobe will be just another 80 spaces of inventory for use for anything or equipment specific? Reason why I ask is because they made it sound similar to what FFXIV has.. when they first mentioned the wardrobe.

Either way this is welcomed!!

[Teryu]

Nvm.

pretty sure they said equip specific.

So whats the upcoming update bringing?
I can only remember (from the top of my head)

Moogle Wardrobe
New hard mode battlefields (lancelord and gesho)
New trusts (maat and gesho)
Job points adjustments (chains and new categories)
Something about merits ¿?
New mythics for geo and run

Anything missing?

[Byrthnoth]

I think that's it, and my excitement has approximately the following hierarchy:

Moogle Wardrobe
New hard mode battlefields (lancelord and gesho)
New trusts (maat and gesho)
Job points adjustments (chains and new categories)
Something about merits ¿?
New mythics for geo and run

[Malithar]

Anything missing?

Their latest dev post mentions increasing the opportunities to use bayld, although there's no mention as to what those opportunities are. My moneys on it having something to do with Geo/Run mythic.

[Hirronimus]

Merit Point carrying capcity will be increased in June.

[Hitou]

Gonna be new missions and quests too.

[Hirronimus]

The story line missions will reach their climax. Whatever that means.

[dasva]

The story line missions will reach their climax. Whatever that means.

Naw it's just preparing to reach it's climax... which I take to mean we are down with the backstory and start real progression into the actual mission story line which the last couple kinda did

[Draylo]

Wardrobe is going to be amazing, when is the update day?

[Fwahm]

Middle of May they said, so probably May 12th or May 19th.

[Sechs]

Oh? I was expecting it for next monday =/
Even if we've been knowing for quite a while I'm a bit disappointed the next high level BCs are Gesho and Lancelord. It kinda means we won't get any more CoP fights, was hoping for Dawn and Apocalypse Nigh, those two would have been really awesome in an high level version, plus it's always a good thing when they give us additional reasons to re-visit Empyreal Paradox :D

[Alistrianna]

Doesn't mean they aren't planning to add them. Look at the Shadow Lord Phantom Gem thats in the dats. Probably just doing filler BCNM fights until they start adding the final battles.

[Sechs]

Look at the Shadow Lord Phantom Gem thats in the dats.

That could be the WotG version of Shadow Lord though =/
Even though that's not properly a real mission BC, it would make sense because they wouldn't even have to create new 3D models for armors/weapons and could just recycle the old ones (which are pretty cool, I have to say)
But yeah, I hope you're right!

Dawn/Apocalypse Dawn would be hard and... interesting.

[Prothescar]

Promathia is the one that I'm most looking forward to in terms of hard mode battles, Shadow Lord being a close second (they need to outdo Fiat Lux eventually).

[Priran]

there are four different shadow lord fights, I'm ok with there not being a fifth. it's been slightly done to death.

I'm kinda confused about why they picked Lancelord to v2, because the first one was so boring, easy, and inconsequential from a story perspective. I'll assume SE thinks they can make that fight interesting (dunno why they would pick it otherwise) and take a wait-and-see approach, but I can't imagine why they didn't go with the fight against Razfahd/Alexander. Maybe it'll come later, like the brothers after the AAs, but I kinda doubt it.

For WotG, I don't think they'd redo any of the fights with helper NPCs, or which were assault-style, so that leaves Galarhigg, Count Bifrons, the 4 Spitewardens, and Lilith. I don't think they'd redo the Spitewardens, just because of the mechanic where it copies the first player to enter. Out of the 3 remaining I think they'll do Bifrons and Lilith.

[Sechs]

Four? :O
I think I'm missing 2 of the ones you mean. I can only remember 5-2 and the WotG Campaign Op "Fiat Lux".

[gairaiden]

there's also dyna lord in dyna and arch dyna lord which still count as the other 2
