All world Maintenance December 14th

[Colenzo]

Hey guys remember when the cap was 75 and they never added new JAs?

remember that time they took 2 years to finish doing the storyline for WoTG then they just started bukakke'ing us with game content?

[SephYuyX]

Most blm's still havent bothered with thunderV, blizzaja, comet...

Fuck those expensive spells, srsly.
I have the gil to buy them, but screw that.

[Greatguardian]

Well, SE did come out and say at one point that the new spells were not designed in such a way that every BLM should have them.

It's like a status symbol.

[Kyte]

I can kind of understand that for Comet, but Blizzaja and Thunder V?

[SargentRemora]

I still get the feeling that there is more to this update then SE announced like Job Abilities that aren't Blood Pacts/Rolls. But it's SE, who knows. Arise and the Light Elemental BLM nuke (Ultima?) are still in the dats listed as Lv.99, but SE didn't mention those.

Also, what happened to Nyzul v2 and The Last Stand, is that still this update?

Almost makes me hope this what they where referring to with Massacre Elegy.

[Foxer]

Yeah, I'm not even worried about new spells and JAs being added in later. That's obviously going to happen. I'm just happy level -might- actually mean something. I'm tired of level caps going up every other day and not really giving a shit what level I am cuz it doesn't even matter at this point.

Untill Comet, T5, Blizzaja and Thundaja are VW3 procs.

[Kurp]

I have no plans on buying them until they force it with procs, really. There isn't much point in owning them now.

edit: I'd learn them if they actually dropped to me, but fat chance on that happening.

Technically, they removed Araise. It's still there in the dats along with the blm light nuke, as in the info is there, but it has been renamed back to (magic ###).

Most likely Merits Group 3 were planned for this update but got pushed back and they're covering their tracks.

[macross]

Like crafting/synergy updates?!?!? Multiple 100 crafts on one character please...

[Classikmage]

I thought I heard something about main craft going to 150 with the synthesis skill cap updates.

[Buffy]

I thought I heard something about main craft going to 150 with the synthesis skill cap updates.

The only thing official along these lines was the possibility of having two regular crafts @ 100 on a character, then it got nuked into oblivion and the SE reps said, "Oh wait, nvm, bad idea!"

The addition levels for 100-150 have been in the dats forever, as far as I know.

It appears however, that regular crafting is dead and everything is getting funneled to synergy. Probably because SE is aware the player base is dwindling and finding people who are willing to grind crafts is less and less.

2.5-3 years actually. expansion was released in nov 2007, concluded sometime in 2010.

SE taking 2-4 years to complete an expansion is rather rediculous, considering the rewards are meh (except Rajas)

The best thing about this update is Jeuno Christmas music.

That sucks because while I don't enjoy crafting mass shit for gil, I do enjoy skilling to 100. It's a nice long-term accomplishment, I'd seriously take everything to 100 on my main just for fun if it was possible.
