Test Server Findings

[dasva]

Hmmm, I wonder if the bigger bonuses will then come from the +3 versions that you use merit points on. I just hope the items needed to upgrade for the +2 aren't ridiculous to obtain given that many of us have multiple jobs with full af2

Most likely upgrading from +1 wont be so bad but from just af2 will be sucky

[Prothescar]

Hoping it's similar to empy armor where NQ -> +1 is decent stats, +1 -> +2 is :Q stats. Assuming those stats there are for +2, not +3.

Because the translation team does their work instantly, amirite? No, it couldn't possibly be something like "we just got these stats to work on today, and haven't had time to translate them", it *has* to be that SE hates gaijin.

[Yukari]

Guess what. TH+2 on THF Gloves +2.

Feet +2 look actually not bad. 7 dex, 7 CHR 3% TA, 3% TA damage up.


DRG feet I think replace homam in an HB set up, with +10% wyvern HP rather than a flat +50.


By and large, while the full sets are probably not awesome for every job, looks like there are various gems in there.

Holy fuck. That's pretty good news, actually.

Like they haven't been working on these for awhile. Like they couldn't be working on english currently. Like they haven't in the past done everyone but english in the dats.

This isn't the first time they've done this.

And this isn't a JP only game. If the translation isn't done, then the content isn't ready. Yeah, it's a test server. But it still pisses me off after all of the work I put into my data mining.

[Foldypaws]

Like they haven't been working on these for awhile. Like they couldn't be working on english currently. Like they haven't in the past done everyone but english in the dats.

They probably *are* working on English currently, and last time we got updates in the Japanese client before they got it in the English. Magian trials for +3 had ".." as the name or everything for a week, while the translation team was working on it.

It doesn't make *sense* to try to translate shit before it's finalized, because otherwise every time they decide to put some new stat (like Subtle Blow on the BLU gloves, which wasn't there on the +1s) they need to remember to get the Translation team to translate *that* too.

It's better time-management to push stuff out in batches.

And the people who make the items are *not* the people who translate those items into english, and saying "oh, anyone who wants to write our items now *also* has to speak english" is not a good organizational strategy either. Specialization was invented for a reason.

Sorry I meant concurrently

[InsaniacTHF]

Confirmed DW3 for THF. 49tp from 10 hits at 95 47 at 99. Had on 8 stp cause i didn't feel like taking my gear off but w/e.

[Foldypaws]

Sorry I meant concurrently

Working on translations "concurrently" doesn't make any sense, as I said, because then every time they want to make changes in an item, you've made more work.

Translating an item once is much more efficient than translating it twice, or three times, or whatever.

[dasva]

It's not about efficiency. It's about releasing finished products. Hell even putting those dats in probably isn't the most efficient thing to do

[Rehwyn]

Hmm, THF AF2+2 body is agi/dex+7, crit chance +3%, increased critical damage. Wonder how big the damage increase is and how it will stack up vs. Loki's for Evis. Also, wondering how +3 will be if these are the mid-range stats...

EDIT: This is assuming Google translated from Japanese correctly for me.

[Julian]

They're not going to add the english translation until the next update next friday. One week where everyone except JPs has all of the new items as just "."'s (when we're supposed to be testing them) is pretty bullshit.

[Yukari]

NIN AF2+2 body looks like it has something to do with Dual Weild now. I think it's "Enhances dual weild" because it's exactly the same as the NIN AF2+2 legs. Might be a replacement for NIN chainmail?

Also, NIN hands don't have any mention of "dusk to dawn" on them either...

[Prothescar]

There is a new tier of shield mastery at 99 for whoever asked. 6 TP returned

Also Divine Emblem + Naked + Holy II = 1572 damage on a WAR goblin in cape terrigan.

Yeeeeeeesssssss! Thank you. And when I get HolyII I'm going to see how hard i can get it to hit. Managed a 7k holy I awhile back.... heh.

[Prothescar]

Probably already mentioned but neither BLood Pact is available, only their MP costs. 197 for Diabolos, 97 for Fenrir. Diabolos' high cost makes me think shitty doom spell.

Not sure why they tell us to thoroughly test this shit when half of it either doesn't work at all or does not work properly.

Amano google translate: Additional effect this sword zero rotation: Circle Down After Attack

Could be a few things.. circle after additional effect procs maybe?

Edit: Empyreans also have something about circle though, maybe that just means attack round.

[Colenzo]

so like, google translate is saying that empyreans are getting a chance to attack twice with aftermath up @ 99 >_> ????

Armageddon: Hunt co ----- ---------- --- 582 AGI +20 DMG Wildfire Aftermath Lv99 Ex Rare D76: after circle sometimes attack twice

Circle Down After Attack = aftercircle
All relic weapons etc have the same wording. stats ahve been upgraded from +35 to +40

JP friend is translating some of AF2+2 stats for us, seems most job trait stats got upgraded to v2, ie. THF AF2 will have Gilfinder II, Mug II DNC will have Jig II, Violent Flourish Accuracy II etc. RDM body still has Fast Cast I tho ;(
