Dev Tracker: Discussion (Old)

[Kaisha]

Coalition assignments involving the Frontier Stations cannot be redone once the stations are constructed.

There goes my chance at total coalition completion.

Also yay, Indi-spell filter.

Spoiler: show

I'd have preferred a simple sphere/band visual though so I still know where to stand

Mocchi: Frontier Station Assignments

Just wanted to respond to a couple of questions we've received here. Coalition assignments involving the Frontier Stations cannot be redone once the stations are constructed.

While the Frontier Stations do not disappear, additional coalition assignments will appear after construction of the stations. At the moment, there is no plan to make adjustments to coalition assignments involved with the Frontier Stations.

id like to think im not crazy, but as a courrier probationer, i dont have any new missions since both frontier stations in foret/moria are up. Just supplies to ceizak and yahse.

[Fwahm]

You need higher than Probationer to get the assignments newly unlocked by having a Frontier Station built (i.e, the bivouac supply runs).

[TummieGaruda]

Every day since it started out, there are more and more people confirming obtaining statue segments and reporting their actual participation in Skirmish (including equipment performance). This became particularly noticeable around the end of last week. (It seems that people were not actively pursuing the obtainment of Skirmish-related items until now, so I believe that's why this is the case.)

While this may be true, SE needs to seriously re-evaluate Soul Pyres. Going 1-2 hours without seeing a Soul Pyre and being one of two people in a zone farming doesn't seem to be balanced.

yeah.. its an unfortunately thing for completionists..
when i saw the assignments available for probationer courier i did them immediately with 1 tag each because i seemed to remember that stations set up are permanent.
after the stations went up, they disappeared from the assignment list.

this also means that it'll be good to keep Couriers Coalition close to cap so that when future zones appear you can attempt those as soon as possible.

based on the dats Couriers is the only one which has missable assignments

Special event weekend where all stations get destroyed and need to be rebuilt? lolz

Seriously though, they should have more than enough data to know that a lot of us are insane completionists.

God forbid they'd be repeatable for extra bonuses, like cheaper waypoint costs for the zone, or just that frontier station.

I"m aware, but the part quoted seems to imply "if you're on Probationer, once the Stations in Moria/Foret are up, replacement ops will be available for that tier", since being promoted to Courrier Probationer offers jack shit once the Stations are up.

[Dotsudoku]

That's fucked up lol

Not as fucked up as reducing enmity generation from commands for every pet job other than summoner

Hilarious and pointless, but fucked up none the less

[Seha]

Given Matsui's response, could it be that skirmish items drop rate is directly related to colonization rates as well?

I noticed that as well. And PUP only has Deactivate on that list. No Deploy or Retrieve which is kinda wtf.

Edit: just check the BGwiki page for Deactivate and it says it has 0 CE or VE... so that's either wrong or SE is gonna cut 0 in half. Woot.

[Dotsudoku]

Wtf, yes


But still hilarious

Sounded more like things are working as intended with the increased appearance of pops basically correlating to people trying more now that info's out. Granted, it's still vague if what players have been doing is optimal or if there will be better methods once more things unlock.

Maneuver enmity reduction is the big thing PUP lacks, lol.

I feel that I should figure out whether or not Waltzes had their Enmity reduced already, but I'm tooooo laaaazyyyyyy.

They reduced the enmity of the initial summoning spell (Slycer just missed it off his translation).

Summoning magic
genie summon fire / ice summon spirits / spirit summoning wind / earth spirit summoning / thunder spirit summoning / water spirit summoning /
summon spirits light / dark spirit summoning / summon carbuncle / Fenrir summon / Ifrit summon /
/ summon Titan / Leviathan summon / Garuda summon / summon Shiva /
Ramuu summon / Advocate summon / summon Odin / Alexander summon

[Slycer]

Whoops. Yeah I just stopped copying categories since I was essentially typing out full spell lists.

[Tarage]

I mean it's a start but... that wasn't the problem...

[NynJa]

How does Raise generate enmity?

[Asymptotic]

I'm sure the folks who killed Achuka were greatly "inconvenienced" by the lack of monster repops.

Doesn't the OP in the thread imply that they were complaining about the lack of repops because killing the adds (JPs call them "small fry") is supposed to weaken the NM ?

[Slycer]

How does Raise generate enmity?

Same way Scavenge or Mazurka or anything else not monster related do, I guess. Once you're on the hate list almost everything you do has some associated enmity value whether its monster target or not. No idea what raise's value is but I'm guessing its not 0.

Maybe, but Mocchi's first response there kind of indicates that isn't the case anyway (he says it has to do with colonization).
