Dev Tracker: Discussion (Old)

Mog Garden sounds awesome. Like the material gathering areas in town in a monster hunter game.

[Gwynplaine]

Hm so the Mog Garden is going to be instanced personally to you like a Mog House? A little confused. Sounds all right though, I do love HELMing and listening to podcasts to pretend I'm not wasting my time on a video game.

[Slycer]

Doesn't say specifically in his post but I think they previously talked about it being an instanced thing. It was an indirect reference like "each adventurer will have their own personal plot" or something. I don't really see how the gardening would work either if it wasn't personal.

[SephYuyX]

If they give full access to all storage options, and have the ability to access it from any MH entrance, i'd full time it.

[Chamaan]

Damn. This means we'll have the dat for new gear from Adoulin tomorrow, but probably won't know what old gear is modified for the new jobs until just a few hours before game release. I guess that's okay, but I'm on the edge of my seat here wondering which of my investments is going to pay off.

Gardens I don't have to check and hope it hasn't died!?! I'm game

Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if the new gear isn't in the install files. Remember everyone needs the gear added to their game whether they have SoA installed or not.

As always, the gear will be confined to the playonline update.

Official Adoulin site now says "evening" Pacific time on Wednesday for the content to go live. Not sure how long it's said that for.


"Software to be Released on March 26th, 2013
Service for the expansion pack is scheduled to begin on the evening of March 27th, 2013 Pacific Time."

[dannyl]

I was on amazon.com this weekend deciding to buy my ultimate collection of the game and I also saw the word "evening" in the release date description.

Product Description
Pre-load the game on March 26, 2013.
The game servers for the new expansion content will be made available on the evening of March 27th, 2013.

[Toth]

Good catch guys. At least now I won't have to spend my Wednesday wondering when the actual game will be released lol

[Outlaw]

If it's evening Pacific time then that means it will be late Eastern. Don't bother setting your alarm clocks for work! You won't be getting any sleep that night anyway.

[Treize Kordero]

I really wish Steam was selling Adoulin

ToAU content went live around 7pm Pacific so I'm guessing it will be around the same time

Good lord it's going to be a clusterfuck figuring out how to get to Adoulin.

Trailer showed waypoints in Lower Jeuno.

A Waypoint from either Sandy or Jeuno.

What are the odds you can just waypoint there to start?

You can't for Ziliart, needed airship plus finding norg, or missions to get to Sky.
You can't or CoP, missions needed to get access to Tavnazian Safehold.
You can't for ToAU, you had to either do quest or pay 1m to get secret answer, then you still had to run to Aht Ughan from where they left you.
You couldn't for WoTG, you had to run there, through the past, unlocking maws.

Can you use the waypoint to get there the second time, like lure of the wildcat for ToAU? Sure, I'm on board with that. But the first time? Oh yah, there's a giant FU quest coming.

They already said it will be via warp. So, most likely a follow up quest to the Waypoint quests chain. Requiring the previous 3 quests (which take several hrs of running around) to be completed. ^^

[Gokulo]

Oh thank god for mentioning this. I just returned yesterday and didn't know there was some waypoint quest, lol. At least I can do it tomorrow not to be caught surprised later on ^^;
