Abyssea Update Scheduled for June 6

Abyssea Update Scheduled for June 6
As part of a continuing effort to alleviate congestion in Abyssea areas, an update will be performed on Monday, June 6 incorporating the following refinements:

-Sturdy pyxides in Abyssea areas will appear in significantly greater quantities.
-Players will be given the option to manually destroy any sturdy pyxis.
*When exercising this option, the destroying player will receive a cruor reward proportional to the rank of the pyxis.
-The name of the player who successfully struck a fiend's weakness will be displayed in the message log.
-When performing atma infusions, players will be able to view and select from a list of their twelve most recently infused atma.
*When selecting from this list, players will be able to infuse two or three atma at once.
*This feature will function independently of the "Reinfuse previous atma set" option. (Atma selected from the list will not overwrite the previous atma set, nor will atma infused via "Reinfuse..." be stored in the list.)

guess this means they are adding more chests per zone?

I especially enjoyed this part

EDIT:
Didn't they say there was an upper limit to the number of npc entries per zone and that that was the reason they couldn't up the number of pyxis?

I hope it's not 3 menus to wade through to "Destroy" the pyxide. All in all, looks like a nice start.

Welcome improvement; we were were AoEing in attohwa for AF feet last week and got wayyy too many returns of <5 chests from killing a whole family. Maximum convenience would be making the destroy option a text command as well as scrolling through the box dialogue.

[Dooom]

By "manually destroy" I'm half thinking they mean that you can kill it as if it were a monster, rather than destroy it through a menu option. I hope not, though; otherwise an FC that leaves some monsters alive, while others die and drop boxes, could lead to those boxes being destroyed by your next AoE attack. Wait and see, I guess.

edit - ha, I see Bryn thought the same thing as a possibility in the other thread. Guess I'm not totally alone in this worry.

Yay, all very nice things to add to Abyssea. I'm happy.

I had a slight fear when I saw the title that they were doing the dreaded cap raise since there's a thread about it every week on the official forums.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Should totally change the title to something from the SE forums to fuck with people. "Abyssea entry cap update 75+" or something.

So when will we get to see the first refresh pin accidentally butchered by some random wanting cruor?

It may be myself seeing as I've already rotted a few

Love the changes.

[Malacite]

All very good stuff

[Draylo]

Looking good.

[Indalecia]

Hot damn..

[Skeelo]

Doom has me worried now about aoe killing chests.

[Dooom]

This post might help remove those fears: http://www.bluegartr.com/threads/103...=1#post4624436

I always ending up being chest bitch in LS events because 90% of our DD don't bother bringing keys/checking their own boxes, so being able to destroy them is much welcome.

Hate when there are 15 soothing lights/10 reds (lolHeroes enhanced lights) sitting there wasting space, and getting cruor for destroying them also gives me more fuel to bitch at the DDs to buy keys.



Still no word on making quests repeatable without zoning though after that one mention prior to update. Abyssea fame sucks ass to build.

[etelosbo]

I hate when DDs waste time by checking boxes.
