Notorious Monsters (04/13/2011)

[Elcura]

I just have to ask: For the mobs they've recycled from FFXI so far (and look to not stop at doing so if this is a sign of things), do they recycle the animations also, or do they actually bother making things more fluid looking alongside the upgraded textures?

You mean animation concepts or actual animation frames? If it's the former then they can do, but the latter they can't. I guess you can use them as reference, but you'd need to redo the animations.

Daddy Longlegs...?

Why not!? Makes sense lol

[Telliani]

He might not know it's a type of spider.

I'm actually happy it's low level stuff... Most of the people in the LS we're in are 30-40, not 40+ (save for crafting)

[Jamison]

Digging the new info. This isn't the stuff that drastically changes the world, yet I feel really good about it.. feels like there's more of an identity, a little bit of humor, and some fun into the game.

[Kuya]

I have no clever play on words to follow, just want to let you know at least one person got this.

It's a good thing that you got it because you know that he's the only one who gives the orders here. Alright?

[Vuitton]

I am glad this is mid-level stuff too. People are bitching about how long it takes to get to R50, but are then complaining about those mid-levels pre-50 that get things to do to break up the monotony? /golfclap

I hope they release new servers when PS3 launches. I want a fresh start away from all these retards with multiple rank 50 jobs complaining about anything not rank 50.

...who gives the orders here?

Spoiler: show

AL-RIGHT!

[XalienLevi]

fixing to reroll for PS3 launch. Start Fresh! CON is pretty boring right now anyway.

[Corrderio]

So will it be possible to start the download when the servers go down? Or until they're back up? Just trying to get an ETA on when to expect .DAT mining results.

[Cichy]

Usually, patch starts about hour in into maintenance I think

[Spira]

what stuff are you guys using to data mine XIV?

[Caly]

Kokoroon is in far east room in Nanawa... duo with no trouble with 50 arc / 50 conj.

Dropped r35 Darkshell armor (Gld, Lnc, Mar)

[solracht]

Could you confirm if the item is indeed untradeable? That's what the dats say, but you never know.

[Caly]

Confirmed rare/ex...

NM Bardi is in Nanawa on the far west side. Iron Mitts dropped...

[solracht]

Thank you. That's the second item I've heard about that wasn't datamined by Gulkeeva, which is interesting. Are these existing items with rare/ex flags or new items? (I know the mail is new, but what about the mitts? )

[Cayos]

I can confirm that Kokoroon Quickfingers is in the far east room. Also, it respawned in 8 minutes.

[Celeras]

You mean the opposite? Cos 1-50 goes so fast that a lot of this gear becomes irrelevant.. and that's the main problem.

[Corrderio]

The NM Gnat spawns in the cellar around the North Eastern section IIRC. Not too bad, but shock spikes and it's teleport move killed me.

Bomb Baron... Cass far west

Be ready for lots of burn II... no drop
