Dev Tracker: Discussion (Old)

[Hitou]

Hopefully you didn't open specific chests earlier or you won't be able to get the ultimate spear in rala later.

[Trigun]

I know it gets talked about to no end.
But
I had an idea while thinking about the SoA story.
What if...we got something at the end, that isn't a ring or an earring.
(No Spoilers intended but spoilered just in case I strike a nerve[which I don't mean to, just being creative].)
(Has nothing to do with the story as far as I know.)

Spoiler: show

Okay, okay, almost anything.

[Slycer]

In case anyone's been wondering, the devs and community team have been basically silent this week.

[Toth]

Yeah I figure there really is not much to say with the update in less than a week.

[Slycer]

They're just waiting for tomorrow when the NA team will be on vacation. Post onslaught inc.

[Slycer]

This is random and mostly unrelated, but I thought I'd point out that it looks like SoA got an official price drop, at least on Amazon. The pack is $19.99 and the bundle is $29.99 (this is for both PC download or Xbox 360 versions)

I'm tempted to post a bug report saying that my 99RME wepon has 100 less damage than a plasm weapon and see if they move it to the "working as intended" forum.

Only if the "get over it" forum is down for maintenance.

As someone who just recently finished a mythic, zero fucks are given if they update them or not, I mainly built my mythic just to have it, I'd be happy if they let them rot and become trophy items and continue moving forward with the game.

[noodles355]

I want my relic ws, that is all.

[Spira]

considering it seems only 99 version of RME will be updated, i guess it depends on what level your mythic is no?
from the perspective of someone still interested in Mythics, i'd say Delve is useful for pushing the price of currency down because really, the supply far outweighs demand at this point. and even if currency is cheap, you still have to go through the hassle of Lv80, 85, 90, 95 and 99 trials... during which time your weapons is still very subpar for endgame.

so really, the only RME holders getting a free upgrade are the lv99 ones. for the rest, it doesn't change the hassle of getting it made, although I feel like this has made mythics somewhat cheaper (thanks in part to Salvage II), but empyreans probably more expensive (due to lack of people doing VW regularly.)

[fantasticdan]

Why would anyone think level 99 REM weapons would get a free upgrade? If anything, they'll require an trial/quest/augment/whatever, like everything else.

Yeah, I'd assume so. For this "item level" and "content level" thing to hold any water, assuming they are being boosted to the item level of Delve boss weapons, the weapons will have to go through a trial of difficulty equal to clearing Delve bosses. Otherwise the whole thing is nonsense.

'Coz they said so, "no trials", plus for sure they are not revamping REM's before all delve bosses( weapons ) are out, and ppl tired to kill them. So sometime 2014 they will "fix" it.

Edit: btw... Updated REM's will be an option instead Mega Boss' Weapons, I dont think they will have same iLVL, will be lower for sure.

[fantasticdan]

The only thing they said was that it wouldn't involve trial of the magians, as in the moogles in rulude gardens. They never implied the weapons would be upgraded for free with no effort/steps taken from the player.

Going by the sword examples they gave, (the good) relics/mythics will be significantly better than delve mega boss weapons even if the base damage is lower, once you factor in procs/aftermath/specific bonuses you used those weapons for.

And you win lol Anything good?

[Ligray]

Doesn't look like much of anything except some follow-ups to login campaign looks like chocobo mask is undeliverable for now, follow-up to reives adjustment post although it looks like its just reiterating what Matsui already said for adjustments.

The amount of base damage, accuracy and attack they add to Amano, Koga and Masamune 99, will struggle to trump a Tsurumaru SAM w/ Miser's Roll. Provided that SAM has a fucking brain, the only thing that will come close is a AM3 Koga and even then it's gonna be hard to top the output of a SAM with a 3 hit, can WS in anything and not put themselves behind.

[fantasticdan]

Doesn't a koga sam essentially have a 2-3 hit with aftermath up?
