Dev Tracker: Discussion (Old)

[Taim Meich]

I could imagine winning and being angry that I didn't get 2nd place.

You don't want any Mythic?

[dasva]

Yeah only thing I see in 2nd I'd take over mythic or some other non sellables.

That said I just noticed af3+2 is 2nd place prize.... seriously.

And 3rd prizes are so bad I'd rather win 4th so if I won 3'rd I'd probably take the nomad moogle rod lol

[Kincard]

Dunno how rare Uguisu will be, but that's a pretty good weapon, though I guess lolNIN. Kinda weird they didn't put stuff like Gusterion or Girru on there since it seems like those should be where they go.

At least on my server, a Pulse Cell: Mu or Co will probably earn you like 7M, but I imagine the gil prize will actually be worth more.

[Taint]

Are the JPs complaining as well?

The DW katana / pet regen axe aren't glow weapons thou, probably not as rare.

[Slycer]

They're probably going to be drops from new Meeble Burrows akin to Dervish Sword or Ankylosis Wand. Not super rare, not super common, just standard boss drops. Guess we'll know soon enough anyway with the update on Monday.

[dasva]

Not too terribly exciting either. Wonder if either will be worth using over say magians

[Alistrianna]

If monster ratio goes up after the attack/def adjustments, would this make Guard a lil more useful when it procs? This all assumes def is crappy for any given reason.

I have to wonder if people are hating on the Twilight Scythe, are they also hating on that GK from Uptala? I mean, aside from the death part of it...it does the same exact thing. Maybe because it's more rare to get, people don't cry about that one, I'm not sure. The whole thing seems silly to me honestly.

Murasamemaru is only non-elemental on Weapon Skills. Twilight Scythe is non-elemental on everything.

[Hitou]

Not true. Twilight Scythe is still slashing on WS.

[Kari]

Not true. Twilight Scythe is still slashing on WS.

I actually didn't know that. BGWiki didn't really clarify so I just assumed it was counted. Thanks.

[Hashmalum]

I don't know of one single weapon with a variant damage type on normal hits that has that damage type apply to weapon skills. (And with the WTF JP hate for these weapons, I'm guessing now we'll never get one, either.) Joyeuse (and non-bilbo/tuck rapiers in general) are piercing, but WS are still slashing. Vampiric claws are slashing, but WS are still blunt. Etc. That's the general rule, which is probably why no one bothered to make a clarifying edit on the subject.

[fantasticdan]

Why were they complaining about it? Because people were just using drks and mnks instead of mage jobs to deal with physical shields/resistances?

[Kincard]

Admittedly it does make the game more shallow if we run into a situation where the devs are telling us "use magic damage moar" and we deal with it by bringing a MNK or DRK instead of bringing the many, many magic damage classes available. They need to seriously up the damage/efficency on magic damage classes though, so they're useful for fighting normal monsters too. The proposed changes to black magic will help nicely but SMN, PUP, NIN and BLU need lots of help on that front too.

[Cairthenn]

I think it's cute that they still show things like WARs dual-wielding axes.

[Damane]

what are those hares that look like a cross between hares/lynx/cat o.o

Because there always has to be a bunny that can kick your ass. No exceptions.

I still have nightmares from the bunnys in valkurm dunes when I started playing FFXI ._.

[Damane]

I like how matsui keeps us on track with letters how he is doing and why he hasnt written new infos. Makes me feal like we are still in touch and that he is workign on it.

[noodles355]

I didn't realise there were any overweight japanese people...
