Damage taken -188% Parry +188 Shield Skill +188 obviously.

[Obsidian]

Wouldn't that only be the server's concern though, not the client? It should already be referencing its own database to prevent issues such as the aforementioned duplicate ra/exs, and duping exploits.

The client needs to know what to show you when you open your Missions/Quests/Key Items/Inventory. If you don't want to retrieve that information and cache it when you zone, you're going to have to do it when they open the menu.

+188% absorbs damage taken and Occ. quickens spellcasting +188%

[Obsidian]

Needs more Dualcast for RDM so I can Immunobreak two spells at once.

[Kincard]

Forgot the STR/DEX/AGI/VIT/INT/MND/CHR +15

That was regarding items, not stuff in your quest/KI list, which gets loaded after the fact anyways, since you get a "Preparing Data..." message if you try to open said lists right after zoning.

[Obsidian]

Then I misunderstood and am entirely confused by the statement I quoted.

Japanese page for Monstrosity is up.

[Spira]

Looks like it will be a pretty in-depth system.

[NynJa]

Well it seems SE has learned from pankration, chocobo breeding and whatever else and realized that in order to get proper interest, there needs to be some kind of reward.

[shepardG]

Reward eh?.... Like rewards that are useful for this particular event? Or rewards that will come in handy when I'm normal ole 99sam/DNC in a rieve?

Because if it event specific, I'd say it'll be DoA. But if I can earn some sort of lvl 99 ring that's equipable by all jobs and gives waltz potency +10%, I would grind this event out.

[shepardG]

Note: I am not particularly craving said ring it just seemed like a good example

[Kincard]

Expend the prestige you've rightly earned to gradually augment your newfound equipment, further enhancing your gladiatorial prowess.

It just sounds like a closed system where you get gear specifically tooled for Monstrosity. In this manner it's no different from the systems of PvP in other MMOs because those also have PvP-centered stats. If they do that it could have some amount of success, I suppose.

[Neojin2]

Up on that whole English thing.

I'm actually pretty impressed by the details of the system I've read so far.
