Dev Tracker: Discussion (Old)

[Jem]

My guesses mostly match what people are saying above:

D for Downs (Meeble Batallia Downs, B was already claimed by Dynamis Beauc items)
De for Delve
Sa for Sauro (Meeble Sauro)
Ny for Nyzul
S2 for Salvage 2
S5 for... uh...
O for Odin

That's pretty much what I was thinking but couldn't work out why they would specify Batallia Downs as D when I was thinking Sa was Sauro. What you said about Beau makes it make more sense.

S5 is probably something Skirmish related then. Maybe it gives you the choice of one T5 item (Rala/Cirdas Visage V, Legs V, Torso V). Or possibly just a fully assembled simulacrum with T5 parts.

[Kincard]

Sounds good to me. That's a pretty nice selection, certainly not dumb stuff like Empyrean Armor this time.

lol at people saying they rather go play GW1 with how gear progression is in FFXI.. that they would rather have their gear stay the best for all eternity lmfao... I've been playing since launch and always though of FFXI as an MMO for the elitest... it "weens out" the noobs and other players who can't handle the challenge... back when it took a YEAR to get level cap... not a week like a game like GW2 or Terra / Aion. GW2 where it doesn't even matter if you have crap armor. or nice armor... because you can just close ur eyes and click and kill ur enemies lol.... This game is different, FFXI takes skill, it takes dedication.. imo if you don't like that. it isnt the game for you.... In my oppinion, I hope SE throws some new "Relic 2"s at us.. Bring it on SE! we want the challenge and some bad ass weapons to PWN our old relics! We always want to strive to be the best! we never want to Settle with our gear! Nobody wants to see the same armor or weapon on their character over 5 years. thats lame. Consider yourselves lucky you got this much use out of a weapon you got 6-7 years ago... and on top of that its not evem like REM weapons are going to be inferior.. They already stated they will be upgrading them... I personally agree with the upgrade, but i think it should be the LAST upgrade to relics / empy's. and we should move on from there.

[dannyl]

Let's take a guess to what they are!

Bonanza Kupon D
Bonanza Kupon De
Bonanza Kupon Sa
Bonanza Kupon Ny
Bonanza Kupon S5
Bonanza Kupon S2
Bonanza Kupon O

Well, I can guess that D or De will be Delve, but I'm actually kinda stumped on the other ones. Usually it's pretty easy to tell what all of them are.

Mog Bonaza again? But we just had one a few weeks/months ago!

-Been playing since PC launch.. over 600 days play time... so take my words as you will...

[Byrthnoth]

Yeah... Okay, so now that the scare is done I can be a little more direct. For the amount of effort they were to make, RME shit had better never get outdated. They lost one account this time from me. Next time they would lose the rest.

[Fwahm]

How will Liberator stack up against Ragnarok, assuming similar buffs to the one handed weapons? Scythe suffers from both mediocre empyrean and merit weaponskills, so I'm assuming it won't be as overpowering as say, Ryunohige or Kogarasumaru.

[Jem]

I think it's pretty much going to the same as it is now. Very situationally better but the majority of the time it will be worse.

If Scythe actually had a WS worth a shit it would be a lot better. Even if it got Catastrophe access it would be a lot more desirable. Relying on Entropy and Insurgency is going to make it always pretty meh though.

I've toyed with the idea of making it multiple times because I love DRK but I just can't justify it. Even less so once Conqueror and Koga get better WS access.

[dasva]

Maybe they will make the enhanced absorbs better!

[Indalecia]

I know its asking for much, but change Entropys mods to something not-retarded.

[dasva]

I know its asking for much, but change Entropys mods to something not-retarded.

And while they at it do the same to like every relic ws lol

[Kincard]

That, or have its fTP increased. Honestly STR is the only "non-retarded" mod unless you're talking about a critical weapon skill because other than that no stats get double dipping. Resolution, Stardiver and Shoha have somewhat lower fTP compared to a lot of the non-STR WSs, but for some reason they decided to hit Entropy with both a weird mod and average fTP (MP is super useful I guess?)

Same thing with Blade: Shun and arguably Apex Arrow too.

Then there's Ruinator which has a good fTP, STR mod, and a 35% attack mod as a freak WS for some reason.

[Obsidian]

Or Requiescat's attack penalty + MND mod.

[Ligray]

Check Version up and only 20 files anything changed besides adding RUN back to Khloros Blade and adding Skirmish segments to Colonization/Lair Reives?

[Taint]

Or Requiescat's attack penalty + MND mod.

This x100. I'd really like to enjoy my Excal but Sword feels so weak without CDC.

[Jem]

Honestly I'd rather they change Quietus than Entropy. Quietus fTP is pathetic. They could just change it match Torcleaver fTP and call it a day. It would at least make Scythe usable without changing the DD hierarchy at all.

Do something similar for Camlann's Torment whilst they're at it.

[Indalecia]

Both are visually appealing ws's, tbh. I'll take a mod change on one or both.

[Obsidian]

Specifically Rhongomiant, just because the four people who made one and haven't dropped it yet would all feel like a million bucks if Camlann's Tormet suddenly turned into a weapon of mass destruction.

[Kincard]

If they make Empyrean WS unlock off coin weapons they'll continue crying because people with Gungnir/Ryunohige will be using it more effectively.

Also I like Quietus's animation, but I always thought Camlann's Torment felt kinda...lazy.

[Guitarman]

I wouldn't mind adding Quietus to my arsenal with apoc, it's (very) situationally useful. Thing rips apart roots in reive.
