Dev Tracker: Discussion (Old)

[Malithar]

Edit: Oh wow a bit of jp dev posts

Need to employ a 3rd shift Slycer, or just all donate lots of coffee and energy shots!

[Malithar]

Yeah, unless it's a bunch of stupid shit like two sets of armor and Garrison v2.

But we can build fences!... ; ;

Hope this is done well. Going to suck if we gotta split up all over the zone to protect bivs from multiple attacks at once. Wonder what the story will be to this, as the original Skirmish made it sound like you stepped into a parallel world. Now we're actually protecting shit instead of killing everything in sight?

[Slycer]

Matsui post is all translated and up now. I don't think it's possible to make tables like he did on here and I wouldn't want to try anyway. There's another long post from Fujito on Mog Garden which I'll look at in a few.

[Seha]

I'm worried this additions with higher drop rate of skirmish stuff will cause me to never get my capes...after 2 weeks or so I'm still only at 4, and all 4 are not what I wanted <.<

[Kyte]

I've already gotten far too many inventory-clogging simulacrum pieces that I've felt the need to hang onto.

[Toth]

Wow, good info. So pretty much everything but skirmish II (which will be more unique than the zerg fest of I at least) is coming on Tuesday....or is that Monday the 5th?

[Kyte]

It's probably safe to say that it's Monday the 5th.

[Malithar]

Considering NA POL says the 6th, Imma go with its safe to say its the 6th. ;P

Spoiler: show

In the version update scheduled for August 6 2013, we will be adding new Seekers of Adoulin missions, introducing the brand-new Monstrosity system, and, at long last, rune fencers and geomancers will be able to obtain their artifact equipment. Additionally, we will be making various adjustments to stats for equipment with item levels, colonization and lair reives, and much more.

Previously, we announced that the August version update would include new skirmishes and that additional adjustments would be made to certain coalition assignments so that bonuses would be granted depending on the distance to the objective. However, these elements will be introduced in an additional version update once they have undergone further testing.

The additional version update will be implemented in late August.

An announcement will be made regarding the details for the additional version update at a later time. We apologize for the delay and will continue to work hard so this content meets its new release date.

I like how they just straight up admitted "Yeah, Panopts are bullshit, sorry, we'll take them out for a while."

[Slycer]

NA POL is fairly consistently wrong with dates of stuff because of the JST/PDT shift.

[IceSylph]

Did thy mention if the Combat Skill+ is going to be added in this update, or the one later in the month?

[Shenrien]

Maybe..

[NEW] Adjust equipment performance: The performance of equipment with item levels will be adjusted.

[gairaiden]

kinda ridiculous that the big endgame content of the update got pushed to at 14 launch. gonna be a pain to even do it when half the playerbase is gonna be on 14 fucking with 14 launch instead of doing skirmish 2.

[Shenrien]

Implying that Skirmish 2 will be anything major and will require 6 players to actually complete.
Implying that you cannot find 5 other individuals to do Skirmish 2 with because of XIV.

[Kincard]

I've already gotten far too many inventory-clogging simulacrum pieces that I've felt the need to hang onto.

Just use them to get free Bayld from the swirlies (or try to sell it to people trying for free bayld)

Yeah people are solo/duoing it for balyd and selling leech spots to fill out the rest of the pt

Crab Invitation
You can increase the amount of friends on the beach.

LOL I can't stop laughing. Is this talking about adding more Craubables or like inviting other players to your Mog Garden? I hope it's more Craubables personally.

[Chamaan]

More crab buddies to hang out at the beach with me? This update can't get here fast enough.

[Slycer]

The second image posted has 2 crabs in it so I'm hoping it's more crabs. Crabauble quickly became one of my favorite NPCs in FFXI.

[Byrthnoth]

I have bad news, though. I've seen the future, and Crab is not a playable monster type in Monstrosity.
