Do they have us redownload an entire monster model for reskins or something?

If its not in the game yet yes. Reskins are still their own separate file that take up their own space. Which is why it's dumb when certain people claim reskinning stuff saves precious limited FFXI diskspace.

It does save money though.

The disk space isn't an issue. It's more of the time it takes to develop and model new gear for each of the races and genders. So it is less time consuming to simply just re-skin old texture maps. I am sure they have a black and white pallet that they can fill in like a coloring book taking all of 10 minutes.

I think that was mainly in response to the whole "Teh PS2 HD FFXI partition is totally running out of HD space guize!" which was more a fault on POL's handling of downloaded files.

Am curious to see what fuck-all they added anyhow since it's obvious the test server isn't up to speed on things (re: Incomplete trials, cutscenes, crash bugs, placeholder VW loot, etc), which to me also smells of the small last-minute surprises we usually get every other content update.......and probably an emergency maintenance with it.

This has got to be the least talked about version update ever. No real update notes in the past 2-3 weeks talking up all the changes, just crap from the dev forum of the official site

That's because they stretched all the info out in a big time frame. Other updates had more talk only because you've got info 1-2 weeks before patch in a more condensed form. Now it was thinned out. Plus, thanks to the Test Server we know a lot of stuff already, and even the excitement of level cap increase is smaller.

It does seem a whole lot less exciting this time around. Maybe there will be a surprise or two in the update notes, but I'm not expecting any.

Pretty much my thoughts. No dat mining to really look forward to or ability testing ; ; And this may be the last big scale update too if they do start going through with the 'implementation of new content after players try it on the testing server' strategy.

**Spira** · 2011-09-19 08:48

blame it on the new update style. the days of Version Update Christmas are over.

**Julian** · 2011-09-19 09:09

Yeah, I'm going to miss it. =/

**Not Kuno** · 2011-09-19 09:55

Damn. I didn't even notice there was data mining done. I haven't bothered with the test server stuff at all so it'll be Christmas for me.

**Julian** · 2011-09-19 10:26

Well, the actual update notes may have new stuff. If things don't get delayed, I can also just re-dat mine everything in case there's new or different things, before I leave for class.

**Spira** · 2011-09-19 10:34

for graphic assets I'll mine as if I haven't seen anything from the test server mines, which is to say.. if its new in the game client for the actual servers, I'll include that..

gives me a little more to do too lol

**Nadrojj** · 2011-09-19 10:54

I haven't been around or following the SE official thread, is there no data mining threads going up for this on BG anymore? Can someone point me in the right direction please?

**TacoTaru** · 2011-09-19 10:55

Julian has been dat mining the test server. His results are here: http://juliandev.com/augtest/

There's likely not to be too much added in addition to that, I think but we really don't know.

**Nadrojj** · 2011-09-19 11:00

Thank you! I just figured update day would bring with it all the new armors and weapons everyone usually flipped their shit for. Not as exciting as they used to be I guess.

Update hasnt started yet, so no official files to dat mine yet

**Hitoru** · 2011-09-19 11:12

It may be due to my being blind, but was there anything on level cap break for 90-95?
