Dev Tracker

It'll be a feature in the new xpac, you know it be true. You'll have to buy access to it similar to how you buy access to locker from ToA, using some new xpac-town specific currency.

You're not thinking SE-enough. In the new xpac, you're required to pay to rent out an MH for a set period of time in the new town, which grants you typical out-of-home-nation access.

The currency to pay MH rental will come from selling the crops/fish/animals you produce on your farm, which'll all be marked EX.

Spoiler: show

The game will never explain why the farm is free, yet the MH has to be rented out.

And the NPC won't specifically request the items needed to rent access. You'll receive the quest description:
"Hooting Waterbuffalo is looking for a good time on the ranch"

They really should just name it Rune Knight! RKN or RNK

[Hirronimus]

Actually, those do make sense, Dray.

Quite possibly the most rage inducing thing they have yet to change. It has to be some extremely simple change to allow storage access in any nation.

Of course, what we don't know is that a fleet of developers have been working on it in that year. Every time they make /storage available outside of your home town, one of the following happens because of the delicious spaghetti code:

• Everyone's level is permanently reduced to 1.
• Every mob in the starter area becomes Pandemonium Warden.
• Beastmen drop 1,000,000 gil when they die.
• Airships take you to the wrong zone.
• You can call your personal Chcobo in the northlands, making trips to Fei'Yin a little faster. (THIS CANNOT STAND!!!)
• Macro gear swaps stop working.
• Worms can chase players again. Much hilarity ensues.
• All of the game's gravity reverses and everyone falls into outer space.
• Voidwatch drops that aren't logs and ores are now higher than 0.000000001%. (THIS CANNOT STAND!!!)

you forgot cure I that deal 3920392032 dmg to undead mobs and one shot them!

Again? How the heck did I miss it the first time....

[Byrthnoth]

They used to follow pets.

This was the best glitch ever.

But you guys. We have to preserve the sense of an epic travel as you move towards the boss' final dungeon! Even though even in the days when there was relevant content there, Fei'Yin wasn't even where the original storyline's final boss was!

That was the reason they gave years ago for not making it easier to get to Fei'Yin and it's even stupider now that the story covers so many continents and timelines and storylines.

[Tarage]

Don't you know? Birds can't go through tunnels. Except... you know... to get to Altepa... and I have no idea how they get to the jungle so damn fast. Must take the airship or VW warp...

[Apelila]

I'm still pissed I missed out on the cure glitch. Free range worms where awesome though.

[Kincard]

Someone who isn't banned from the official forums PLEASE smack the retarded jackoffs who asked for sheathes. For fuck's sake, it's worse than cheese sandwich.

I don't get people that get all worked up over non-gameplay/mechanic changes to the game. There is actually a game world attached to your spreadsheet/numbers game, you realize.

Besides, the mod clearly stated that chances are, sheathes would likely only be found on new weapon models in the future (They're already making new armor designs pretty much every other patch, do you get pissed about those too?). I certainly think it'd be a cool thing to have.

It takes away time they could be using to fix actual issues.

[Eurell]

To be fair though, nobody seems to give a shit about those fixes a week after they are done. we had an update a few months back that had fixed like 50 different things that people have been complaining about. 2 weeks later people were complaining that they didn't do shit in the update.

Not saying they shouldnt keep fixing stuff, but it all needs to be balanced (lol). Do a few fixes, add something new, and give us something nice to look at. If an update is missing one of those, most people will be calling it a fail update.

[Kincard]

Not to mention that people always assume they'd spend said time fixing issues instead of developing shit like Meeble Burrows- it's nice that in your universe, they will suddenly do exactly what you want them to do when they stop doing what other people want them to do!

I should note that I too would prefer they fix actual issues instead of adding sheathes, but I've always thought that argument was dumb.

[Mrbeansman]

At least Meeble Burrows is content. Sheaths are just stupid shit that serves no practical purpose. And no making your characters more pretty is not a practical purpose.

[Eurell]

Like hell it isn't!

[Byrthnoth]

I'm pretty glad that we can hide our head armor now. It has really improved my quality of life more than reducing JA delay would have. I really look forward to the UI update breaking Windower and still being inferior. *insert more sarcasm here*

You may as well push for them to cease development, then. It's fallacious to suggest that, because of their tendency to create things that we don't need or want, that it's foolish to prefer that they spare us inconsequential aesthetic adjustments. Whether we ask it of them on planned time or on time they set aside for silly things like this, the chances of us receiving what we want go unchanged.
