So...

That being said, we're currently planning adjustments to the radar and other info that is hidden while in the midst of battle!

Translates to...

Useless radar will now be just as useless while you're engaged!

Awesome.

[Shenrien]

let me see time / weather and I'll be happy, radar is useless unless you play in first person mode 24/7 for who knows what reason.

You need to face in the correct direction to get the Bhaf ramparts to pop the NMs, so this will definitely help.

[Malacite]

Update on twitter - the official forums are gonna be announced soon w00t!

Let the epic clash of Alla & BG commence!

[Yugl]

Wait, these aren't my questions. Where the fuck is the one about Yuglkrieg?

They're just fucking with you at this point. They know you want it oh so bad and enjoy watching you squirm.

[Yugl]

Squirm eh? LETS TRY RAGE.

[Odin'sLaw]

No.....that's just what they want you to do...

Most everything mentioned is awesome, i personally want to see what they do to Walk of Echoes, hopefully it becomes more fun than a head beating on my desk as it has been lately.

[Alkimi]

Walk of Echoes the most welcome thing on there. We've recently just stopped doing this as a linkshell due to how immensely frustrating it is for everyone.

Hopefully they took notice of the thousands of people screaming at them to make it a 'Dynamis/Einherjar' style entry and not continue on their failed vision of what they wanted it to be. Some more confluxes would be welcome aswell.

[Trigun]

Someone twitter to them to make Empyrean Armor Seals bazaarable so that I may be compensated for my patience financially.

It would be better if they actually made it more a long the things of campaign style event. The fact they made it almost harder and less rewarding the more people involved is just stupid. Like seriously the drops from it were for the most part disseminated so quickly that they were never meant to be rare. On top of that the biggest reward AKA coins are obtainable solo and with a small group. So what was the purpose of not making it more accessible like campaign?

They should have just made it more accessible, had it award far more exp, and had a point style system like campaign. Then they'd have a popular event like campaign was. On top of that it would have been an extremely simple thing to add more tiers and more rewards as time went on. Finally they even have a BCNM style area in the .dats that could easily be used to add WoE HNMs (for private groups) admittance items would be purchased from the points that you farmed. That way you have the best of both worlds low end easy content for people who like that and HNMs for the endgame groups.

Interesting, those improvements are significant, but I don't believe any of those improvements are haste because that is really what is going to matter for a piece like that.

[Guitarman]

str+6 on byakkos is huge. but UNGH. Fucking stop with the synergy already.

Can anyone give me a jist of what the jp are saying? I know one guy is concerned about getting a nq synth out of byakkos, forcing him to refarm it (assuming a OMFGamazing piece will come out of this), which is a valid concern.

[Trigun]

The new technology of getting more then one thing at a time from an NPC will be expanding...I guess.

It also has +1 acc and -dmg.

Synergy is the only way to craft a Rare/Ex piece of gear, so that at least makes sense.

Also, I believe the way that Synergy works is that you don't have to take it out of the oven if you don't like the results. You can do it over and over again. I am not positive about this though, we should get a Synergist in here to confirm.
