Dev Tracker: Discussion (Old)

I'm not sure if they'd upgrade AF pieces since upgrading homam/nashiras. I know they wanted people to do salvage 2.0 so they did the double plan campaign. Wonder if they are upgrading AF3+2 and want people to do it so maybe that's why they are going to do the abyssea thingy.

I think the basis for doing it in the first place is to keep things relatively on par with the new job AF, and in that context, the logical sets to upgrade would be AF. Maybe Relic and Empyrean would be upgraded as well, but for the time being it's probably just looking at AF.

i wouldn't mind if they came out with AF design gear sets but with entirely different stats, just like how they handled Nyzul II and the non-upgraded Limbus/Salvage gear.

You get to keep the iconic design, but don't have to work with the restraints of the equipment already made, or gear (regression) where you need to go back to do an old event to catch up on +1 before hitting +2s..
Of course, they could do it both ways too.

I was always a fan of JSE, but moreso for the stats than the design... which used to always be a plus. kinda do miss older gear designs. Meebles actually brought back some of the older pieces which looked nice.

..as for the login campaign, i think its effectiveness has to do with habit forming. its a psych thing. for many people if they're going to be logging in everyday, they probably won't just do that but will actually start playing by doing other things or reconnecting with friends. some will just stop playing once they get their item, but for others they'd either probably form a habit of logging in by the end of the campaign or may have found something that gives them enough reason to log on without the campaign being there. its not an entirely unsound strategy - works kind of like a one-foot-in-the-door scheme.

I already have full AF1 for most of my jobs because I don't know how to effectively spend my time.

[dejet]

for the log in event?

do we have any news on if the account have to be x a given lvl and around a given time? Will new accounts get this? or just the 5 mules that have been around forever?

[SephYuyX]

Unknown.

Look at Spira using all those psychological terms! Foot in the door ftw

[Ligray]

Blu Physical damage spells just got a follow-up by Matsui looking like scheduled for august, also Matsui posted an overview of today's update.

[Cairthenn]

Matsui: Fuck the official notes, I'm just going to post my own now.

[Spira]

The Velkk weapon looks ridiculous lol

also yay new BST pets and Beast Affinity at 99

[Byrthnoth]

Powering up pet jobs based on item level is interesting but not really super helpful.

Important things from this update for endgame, as I see them:
* 2 new Wildskeeper Reives
* 1H Jobs gain something like 30 Acc/Atk
* New equipment (Bayld, crafted, and wildskeeper)
* The arrow coloring thing is cool on the test server

[Seha]

I see some awful new swimsuits...who choses colours for equipment in this game??

[Reposado]

Where does Matsui usually post these?

Beast affinity at 99?

Go to the official forums and click the "Dev Tracker" on the JP forums. That will get you the posts in Japanese.

whats that math out for monk with our 62.5% shit?

[Malithar]

Am I reading it right that there's new 99 JSE capes from Reives? Was wondering how long it'd be before they added random gear drops to them as a carrot on the stick for us. If my Google-fu is just weak, disregard.

Also sounds like we may unlock something from the Library if we've downed the 3 current Naakuals. No idea if this pertains to the Delve or Wildskeepers versions, or Google is just confused in wtf they're talking about. Mentions something about selecting equipment one by one and receiving the "important thing," increasing the maximum number of files. Maybe its a way to increase Imp gain rate, or maximum held?

[smcmickle]

+30 = 77.5% hit rate. +40 = 82.5% hit rate. Assuming you started at 62.5% hit rate.

This is against Delve Fodder. Not sure how much it matters, just plugged that into the spreadsheet.

That great sword is incredible... it's a great big terracotta butter knife. I love it.
