Dev Tracker

I thought tickets was bad but they managed 2 useless additions at once, that's got to be some sort of accomplishment.

[fattrav]

6 stones, but 5 nuggets.... I wish SE logic worked in my world. Maybe the logic is, people who need nuggets won't have 6 stones.

[KCem]

Stores have been selling packets of 8 hot dogs, and packs of 6 bread rolls for years. If anything, SE is catching up at last !

[Eurell]

Only 1 cluster would be needed per mob anyway right? So only 1 person in the alliance would have to do it?

[Genosync]

Wonder what happens when all 18 people use five voidclusters at once.

Maybe a Lv30 can damage it; would fit in with SE's idea of trying to include everyone in all the content!!!!!!1111

...

also have fun with all your NMs that spam annoying as fuck status-inducing WSes that no longer get stunned with weaknesses and instead get reduced magic and physical attack power, rofl, what a tradeoff.

[dannyl]

Anyone wanting an Asteria would be spamming the fight regardless of the tickets being implemented. Nobody is going to spam the fight for the off chance of a second Asteria so that they can sell the ticket. So fight demand does not increase.

And Athos Body 100% isn't the ticket item as SE have flat out said which items are the ticketed items.

well sht, color me stupid

there is no indication in that news that NMs wont get stunned via weaknesses anymore

A new method for opening the Banishing Gates in Garlaige Citadel has been added.
Players may open the gates alone by obtaining the "perfectly weighted stone" key item from the ??? target in Garlaige Citadel (G-8) and examining each of the three gates.

Useful for anyone who actually has AF still left to do. Wonder how long till we get a way to open the Necropolis doors?

Fine by me if it means I can finally get a clear on Fjalar.

Spoiler: show

Lvl75 minimum lvl needed to participate in VW at any rate.

[MarkM.]

They need to create something for Halvung doors Why should I need 6 people to go to parts of a zone that is 99% of the time empty....

This accounts basicly for every dungeon area with shitty doormechanics

[Spekkio]

sea doors need attention more than garliage i think as quasilumen move slower than my grandpa. granted sea is fairly desolate now making it largely irrelevant, but it would still make me feel better.

Well, at least they appear to have lifted the restriction that you have to have gotten the ticketed item to obtain it as a ticket, unless the implementation includes a hidden qualifier. Makes the ticket system slightly more appealing.

[NynJa]

No, ticket is generated if u get an item in chest u alrdy own. Aka: stupid as shit

[Hirronimus]

So the question is how many tickets does it take to get to the center of Ogier Surcoat?

[NynJa]

ben la crisse

The following are the eligible items:

Mextli Harness/Anhur Robe/Fazheluo Radiant Mail/Toci’s Harness/Heka’s Kalasiris/Mekira Meikogai/Murasamemaru/Aytanri/Ephemeron/Coruscanti/Asteria/Borealis/Delphinius

[Mahoro]

No, ticket is generated if u get an item in chest u alrdy own. Aka: stupid as shit

I understand that was the original dev intent. I just meant nowhere in the actual test server patch notes does that restriction reappear. Nor did it reappear in the last dev notes about how they were readjusting tickets from ra/ex to tradable. You'd think they would put that in with asterisks if it was still in force.

[NynJa]

If they had changed their idea on how to generate tickets, they would have most likely mentioned it.

[Mahoro]

Conclusion: We just don't know yet.
