Should ask them for a comparison photo.

I'd say making a prism staff for each of the 3 paths would be sufficient compromise instead of one end be all...one staff for the MDMG, one MACC and one Perp cost...just make it as simple as a quest where when you trade all 8, you get a prism version.

[Karbuncle]

On the "Limit of stats" things on Staves. I think they said there was a 4 Category Limit. but "augments" Can break that if i recall.

By Category i mean like...

HP/MP
Stats
Acc/atk/eva/etc
Haste
Elemental Resists
Enhances "Resist" Stuff
Job Specific Stuff

and so on. Each Armor stat has a category, and theres a limit of 4 categories total (which is why Armor like Twilight or Kirins Osode have way more than 4 stats, because a lot of them are the same category)

Hope i explained that well enough... Either way, I think they said Augments will break that cap. As far as Prism Staff goes, I think they could probably just make it "Elemental Magic Attack: +6" or something, and for Avatar, its simple "Avatar Perpetuation Cost -"

Even if they did "Fire Magic +6 Ice Magic +6" that'd all likely fall in the same category anyway, so it wouldn't break the cap.

I think if they just did Captain Planet staves for each type it would be fine.

Avatar path Level 99: Avatar perpetuation cost -8 Blood Pact delay -15

Damage path Level 99: All Affinity Magic Damage+7 All Affinity Magic Accuracy+2 All Affinity Casting time -12%

Accuracy path Level 99: All Affinity Magic Accuracy+7 All Affinity Magic Damage+2 All Affinity Recast time -12%

Of course, since mages aren't allowed to have nice things ever, this will not happen.

"Sorry mages, you need to have a full set of your specialty staff and a full set of level 51 HQ staves because heaven forbid you ever stop using gear that you are 39 levels over."

But maybe 49 will be the magic number!

..I kind of laugh at anyone that says doing those staff trials aren't a lot of work. My LS members have been grinding them out for the past few days and.. just geez.

I would think that 49 would be the magic number. Especially since the cap we will be at 99 and thusly only 48 levels over them.

[TacoTaru]

Only a week to go I'd thought we'd be seeing some newer/fresher information, but it appears we've gotten all we're going to get. Has been quite a dry few weeks leading up to the update.

[Gokulo]

I'm sure we'll still get something. I just hope it's good stuff (Dailies...)

[Kaisha]

Highly doubt we're getting dailies this update given their progress track record for the past 5 months and the one month delay to everything courtesy of hurriquake.


And knowing SE, the dailies will likely just be a book/magian-style "Kill X of Y" for random mats/gil.

Lack of info, lackluster info, shitty new JA's all across the board with fail cooldown timers and high mp cost spells only means one thing!

TANAKA'S AT IT AGAIN! ABANDON ALL HOPE FOR YE WHO WANT QUALITY UPDATES.

We will never see a quality update again until he gets shipped off to a new project so he can fuck that one up too.

[Koyangi]

If the auto reflagging of GoV pages is in this update, I will love that a lot.

It's been on the test server since day 1, so I can't see any reason why it wouldn't be in this update for the normal servers.

Burning my MNK to 90 via them the day it's out. I'm not big on leeching jobs in Abyssea, but I'm also not big on wasting 1min regrabbing a page every 3-5 minutes in bookburns.

I'm a tard who got trolled, now i'll go wipe to sobek some moar!

Fixed.

The guy has single handly ruined 14 with ridiculous game design flaws, caused a mass exodus during CoP, name me a few things he has done great?

[NynJa]

I dont remember wiping to Sobek? I had a couple close calls with it spamming Tyrant Tusk when I got cocky doing it thf/nin + thf80/whm + whm80/blm trying to level mules while cleaving for pops, but I didnt lose any pops. You should check your facts before you opt to talk shit...in fact, I remember laughing at some of the "better" players here because they were complaining about how hard Tyrant Tusk is to stun, justifying THEIR wipes.

If you dont like it, dont play it.

Tanaka has ALWAYS BEEN THE PRODUCER. Fucking dumbasses.

"The game is doing well! Tanaka must be somewhere else!"

"The game is doing badly! Tanaka must be back!"

[Apelila]

The JP producer - Yasu Kurosawa is the North American producer.

That said, it was the director change when we saw drastict shifts in content.

[Septimus]

While not dev-related, we need more logical people in Yugl's staff thread.

After reading some of the comments, I want to kick my monitor and scream "PEOPLE LIKE YOU ARE WHY WE CAN'T HAVE NICE THINGS!"

We saw drastic shifts in content before the director change. Prolly because, like, more money was allotted to the project? And who handles the budget... not the NA Online Producer, that's fo' sho.

[Apelila]

Director changed in 2008 during the stupid add on bullshit after director had been there for 2003-2008. Then come 2009 we got Abyssea.
I'm not saying abyssea wasn't in the works before the changeover, but the year following the game saw changes the likes of which had not seen in the previous 6 years. (Edit - holy shit reading that crap on the official forums made me type like that retard)

*reads the staff thread* You owe me 10 minutes of my life for trying to figure out what the fuck Alhanelem is trying to say. Has anyone ever been so far as to even.......
