Dev Tracker

[TummieGaruda]

my personal input:

there is no doubt in my mind that the 6 tiered spell will somehow become some kind of player meteor. i say this partly because the animations for this is listed as met1 all the way to met6. the fact that it runs to 6, which is party member size, should not be seen as a coincidence.

Or it could be part of the new merits that they said they were going to introduce and have adjustments for. BLM learns Meteor at 99 (via scroll or merits) and it will be the level 1 version, and each additional merit could increase it's damage and animation, thus why there are different animations. Or it simply could be a spell used by the Crystal Dragon.

so they slipped in a whole bunch of dat models for new mobs..
one of them looks extremely interesting (and cool).

See all here

Pretty sure the Ogre-like thing is actually an Ultima Demon (from Tactics; certainly looks the part).

[Rocl]

I really hope that isn't the player version of Meteor because it looks like shit

[ikariiiii]

hahahahaha the backwards beetle foot still exists. i just want confirmation from SE that "its a known issue" they're working on

[catfat]

I agree

[dev1034] Campaign Adjustment
The amount of experience and Allied Notes earned from successful Campaign operations has been increased.

They need to add more lvl 90 ~ 95 items to the Allied Notes pool... what a sad dev update, they could have snuck this in the patch notes instead of teasing me with a CAMPAIGN ADJUSTMENT title.. crock of shit

From Google Translate:

From goblins the "Daily Points" you can get a random item to consume.
Port San d'Oria (I-10) Habitox
Port Bastok (I-12) Bountibox
Ward Stone Windurst (C-14) Arbitrix
Lower Jeuno (I-6) Sweepstox
Bhaflau Thickets (J-9) Wondrix
Daily point talking to the Gobelins Since the first Earth Hour 1 Day (0:00 JST) will increase by.
You can choose from five levels of daily consumption at the same time points, rewards will change daily depending on the consumption point.
Daily points can be obtained by trading in the Rare Goblin unwanted items.
(There are also some non-trading items)
※ The day-trade items (Earth time) has obtained the daily point limit.


※ Daily points obtained in the test server is for testing than the original.
※ rewards in the real test server on provisional and may vary.

The fact the new beetle mob still has the same thing going on with the backwards foot is awesome.

[Zag]

The new Meteor spell going from 1-6 could be like the comet spell and the -Ja spells.
Each successive use enhances it for a short period of time. However the MP cost is probably so high and the recast timer itself... So it would have to be casted by other party members to keep it getting "stronger" with each cast.

I thought Meteor was AOE though... I wanted to meteor burn stuff similar to cleave burns. I also wanted to bring back the manaburns in KCNMs lol.

The DATS looks like not in any order.

-self target or single target JA spell for BRD.
-Weak looking Meteor animations
-Raise 4
-Re-raise 4
-Charm-na or Amnesia-na

I'm hoping Raise 4 takes away weakness but that would be broken as hell right? Would make PLD popularity rise again at least.

Hoping they have an abyssite of discernment type for Voidwalk when you clear the fourth tier that tells you a hint to the "jackpot weakness" for the mob that maxes out all alignments that was announced in the next update.

[dev1036] Daily Reward Content (Name pending)

By using a "Daily Point" from the below goblins, you will be able to receive a random reward.

Port San’d Oria (I-10) Habitox
Port Bastok (I-12) Bountibox
Windurst Walls (C-14) Arbitrix
Lower Jeuno (I-6) Sweepstox
Bhaflau Thickets (J-9) Wondrix

Once you have spoken to the goblin, you will be rewarded with a new Daily Point every Earth day at 12:00am (JST).

You will be able to select five different amounts of points that you would like to consume at once, and depending on the amount selected the reward will vary.
You can also receive daily points by trading unneeded rare items to the goblins.
(It depends on the item, but there will be some that cannot be traded.)
*When trading items, there will be a cap on the amount of daily points you can earn in a single Earth day.


*The Daily Points obtainable on the Test Server are higher than normal for testing purposes.
*The rewards obtainable on the Test Server are just samples and will differ from the actual rewards.

I think the one with feathers coming down is a WHM nuke of some kind. It has the nuke sound to it. None of them look or sound amazingly Dancer related, so I'm a little bit "eh" about the whole thing!

Just to confirm, if they add a new type of Samba they're actually adding two effects for it, right? An animation to put the Samba on, and then a second animation that activates when you strike a Daze'd target?

[Shenrien]

didn't they mention something coming called Arise? >_> still waiting on the charm and amnesia removal crap for WHMs idk why but whenever I get charmed on any jobs it's about 3x the duration of anyone else and it sucks D; especially in dynamis when doing the Orc NMs and we miss stun on Fanatic lol.

Walk of Echoes Skill Increase Test Implementation

From the Test Server update performed on 10/28/2011, it will be possible to skill up in Walk of Echoes battles.

This was implemented in order to test skill increases in various other battle content. Please understand that this is not a guarantee that Walk of Echoes will receive this change in the future.

I'm like this on THF. I was charmed for like ~3+ Minutes at one point..

Thats quite neat...

[Septimus]

There was nothing to mine?

I mean, it was an update to the normal servers, not test server, right?

Is that list of stuff in the previous page an update to the regular server, or test server? I honestly can't fucking tell. -_- I am updating my test server right now to dat mine, though.

(have I mentioned how much I fucking HATE this test server shit yet?)

I was referring to the normal game update that was on Tuesday. Although it was a mini-update, they have tried to sneak items into mini-updates in the past so my OCD wanted to make sure they didn't do it again.

And has anyone on the test server checked out the Daily Rewards yet?

[Karbuncle]

Someone on FFXIAH did. Its all shitty Synth mats atm.

They said the items right now are placeholders anyway

[Toth]

I understand your feelings about the differences between FINAL FANTASY XI and FINAL FANTASY XIV. Please understand that these games are very different entities and just as it was stated before, the operational policies as well as the size of the development team are very different as well.

Just to clarify one misconception I have been noticing for a while now...

"PS2 limitations" is not a factor for adding new areas to the game and we will in fact be adding new areas in the future, so please do not worry about this.

There you go. New Zones coming.

I look forward to a fourth version of San d'Oria South.
