More Formidable Fellows!! (04/01/2011)

[arus2001]

I'd just be happy with a Gambit system for NPCs. :/

[Fievel]

yay......?

[Karbuncle]

Captain negative strikes again! Don't forget to tune in next week!


Anyway, Actually happy for this. I use my Adventuring Fellow enough that I welcome the idea of it being introduced to ToAU Areas, as well as the cap to 85. Its not everything i wanted from it, (For instance, like the person at the top of this page suggested, a "Gambit" system) but its a good start.

and i know, i know, they could be UPDATING DYNAMERS AND FAFNERS AND ABYSSEA AND ITEMS AND RELIC WEAPONS AND blah blah blah blah somethingsomethingretardsbabblingsomething, But its sometimes the smaller things that surprise you the most.

I was not expecting an NPC udpate, I always hoped for one, But wasn't expecting, and I'm quite happy for this. Even though i don't use my NPC as much as i used too, its welcome to me.

Now we just need to introduce NPCs to Abyssea. Give them Atma like Pets, and we're talking! Now that DNC can hold your NM twice as long!

Now a bunch of noobs are going to solo with their NPCs just to kill off Colibri chains and I... oh...
Flashbacks.

Actually though, I really don't solo/use my NPC much. But I am terrible slut for quests/story. I'm curious if the new quests will involve the old original NPC story that first alluded to the conflict between Odin and Alexander. Or if it will center only on the "story" between you and your fellow being friends and crap. I don't really even remember what that whole business was about having to fight them in FeiYin.

Yaaay more useless shit.

Given they require you to have a magian key item, I'm assuming it's a barebones "Talk to moogle for trial, do trial, NPC cap raised".

[Draylo]

Level a whm mule it would be more efficient and reliable then relying on an ai npc.

Idiot.

[Kidnoftle]

april fools guys

Idiot.

wait no, you're right, fellows are useful

[jimbobsonofgod]

I'm so gonna have my 85 Fellow tank Sarameya now for my Tizona trials.

best case scenario: the new quests serve the same role as the original ones, as a teaser for whatever's coming next

likely scenario: collect twenty bear asses

"Must possess the magian trial log item" = Going to be magian-related = collect twenty bear asses in fire weather.

[Greatguardian]

I am not going to be discounting the possibility of "500 NPC killshots on X", personally.

[Spira]

have to admit im only excited about this because of the fellow story quest progression

[Alvein]

Yaaay more useless shit.

I beg to differ, NPCs are great fun, particularly if you enjoy doing things differently than normal.
It just seems to me that you're trolling.

[Colenzo]

fucking worthless

[Trix]

Unless the cap increase comes with a significant addition to the storyline I won't be too thrilled. Will level it regardless b/c I love using mine.

[Vigilia]

I have a WHM alt AND both my main and alt have a lvl 70 NPC. It's very handy to have access to my own mini-party for doing trials and other things when you just need x mobs dead asap so I'm really happy about this. :D

No they are hardly useful, assuming everyone has the time/resources to have a 2nd account is silly though.

[Shin Volcano]

You have to understand some people can't live or do anything without second accounts to control, it's what happens when no one likes them.

[Juxtaposition]

Hurray for content that takes an hour to conceptualize, code, and implement and takes the masses days/weeks to 'finish,' for a reward that is basically useless!
