Well, looks like they were spoiling a new battle event, not the system they were talking about....

Why does gilgamesh get to stay a guy? This better not be some sort of plot for him to create a massive harem.

Lion is his (adopted) daughter. Squick.

[Alkar]

So basically another event that we'll never see again. Why do they keep developing these things if they're not even going to be available for the most part?
It's like wasting all that time for a stupid joke back in April.

[Draylo]

Was there really a V2 Omega? Thought it was just Ultima.

Since when has that stopped the Japanese? From what I've read in my Japanese manga they consider it a brilliant plan.

[Khamsin]

I thought it was just Omega. Maybe it's both! Maybe even a full set of new apollyon and temenos rooms to complete in order to build up a new Neo-Omega and Neo-Ultima set. Probably need 4 new items from 4 new apollyon zones to get to neo-omega, and 6 new items from 6 new temenos zones to get to neo-ultima.

There is only one zone of each apollyon and temenos. Each one leads to a V2 boss. That's my understanding.

[Draylo]

There was only a picture of Ultima which is what lead me to that thought.

[Trigun]

Someone said Harem.

It is primarily for the Vana'fest, they always add in special fights like this for events like Vana'fest. Relax and take a deep breath.

Because Gilgamesh doesn't have tentacles I guess?

[Alkar]

I'll relax when the game becomes fun again.

[Septimus]

Then prepare to never relax again.

[Alkar]

They don't need to listen to everyone, they simply need to start listening. And anyone who finds any of the current endgame "fun" is probably not worth listening to.

[Hirronimus]

My question is, if they can change your character like that, why can't we have option to change our model types (outside windower's ability to do so)?

Seriously. you just described one of their fetishes.

But the problem is that they did listen to people to get into the mess we are in. The whole "Abyssea is too easy, drops are too plentiful" whine-fest created Voidwatch. One would say "well they should listen to us instead of the general forum", but the loudest people always seem like the majority. Even if someone does come up with a well-thought actually balanced idea, the usual Confederacy of Dunces would show up to trill and derail the thread into oblivion.

Because they are most likely doing the same trick that they do with Windower. It is probably just changing your displayed model to that of the female-race equivalent.

Come on, we all know that tentacles have to be involved for the Japanese to like something.

I don't quite agree with you on this part. I believe it was their intent to make drops during their transition from 75-99 plentiful just to keep people playing (paying) during the transition period. I think it was always their intent to revert back to their previous drop rates once we hit 99 and didn't have anything to do with some people complaining about abyssea.

[Kaisha]

I think it's just simply Camate mucking about on another character between pics taken....., you don't go from Male MNK w/ Vere to fem WAR with a sword due to an event.

I think it was always their intent to revert back to their previous drop rates once we hit 99 and didn't have anything to do with some people complaining about abyssea.

Even in the bad old days, nothing had drop rates as bad as the ~0.5% rates on what they're calling pulse equipment. Even if this was their rationale, they fucked it up badly. The ease of leveling and gearing through Abyssea made it so everyone has 5 to 20 jobs they want to gear, and doing that with VW drop rates and 95+ empyrean trials is pretty close to impossible. The fact that the nature of Voidwatch makes it even more important that you have diverse jobs geared only compounds this.

If they just went back and fixed all of the biggest problems with their other events, they really wouldn't have to count on VW keeping everyone busy for another two years. Fix Dynamis's proc system so that more decent camps open up. Fix Nyzul Uncharted so that PC users don't have major advantages (Eg, get rid of lamps, make all floors more compact and more linear). More good drops in Legion. Make Salvage's drops relevant at 99 through trials. Maybe make some top-tier consumables purchasable only with AN and IS to get people involved in Campaign and Besieged again.

I might have missed it, but are the colored chips used to get to proto-omega/ultima used to get to neo-proto? Or do we not know what the items are going to be to get to neo-proto-mega-super-ultima?
