Dev Tracker: Discussion (Old)

[Damane]

Yeah seems they overlooked alot of things with the progressive ilvl. Like almost everything lol. So much so that if they having this hard a time just figuring out simple things like this was it really easier to do this than just raise actual level caps?

Well here's hoping they fix it so I can actually land stuff on blu, or drk or pld or nin or land any ws debuffs etc lol. Seriously though I don't see why they couldn't just throw a shit ton of macc on it too like they doing to soothsayer etc

tying the m.acc of those jobs to their respectiv combat skill of the weapon they are currently holding doesnt sound bad at all. With a bit luck it might fix maybe the borked blu spells lol.

I can see it now: update goes live, shits borked in the way that normal mages get m.acc boost form combat skill too AND from their magic skill rate and gear makeing them land anything 100% withotu any effort! inc. emergency maintance!

[dasva]

Still hitrate caps!

[Chamaan]

new gear to replace the old :D

Just make sure none of it has -dark on it because Darkness is Drk's element.

So glad someone else remembers this shit.

[Kyte]

It's hard to forget

[Prothescar]

I didn't want to say anything because I wasn't sure it was the same Madawc, usually when legends die they aren't reborn!

[dasva]

Was there anything worthwhile from todays jp dev post other than pig butt? Google translate didn't really do much

[Churchill]

it's the correct server, probably still wearing HQ plastron and making sure to use warriors against fire based mobs.

[dasva]

So new post on german dev servers. Something about getting rid of click and buy

[Ligray]

Looks like they're implementing some sort of Direct-pay option for EU that was forced to use Click and Buy.

Confirmation that the gil savings chest is a waste of time:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...481#post460481

The "gil saving chest" was created as a feature that protects against mistakenly bidding or purchasing an item for too high of a price. For example, if you're going out with the intention to purchase an item that's 300,000 you can withdraw just that amount and have no fear of accidentally purchasing it for 3,000,000.

As for having an interest or reward system for storing your gil, we'd like to avoid scenarios where users would need to gather a large amount of gil in order to make a profit or receive a prize. With that said, there are no plans to implement a rewards/interest system.

Lastly, the "gil savings chest" will only store gil. There are no plans to store other items in here as well.

[dasva]

Then wtf was that bit about then alluding to something will happen if you store a bunch the other day from the jp side?

Telling jps something might happen telling us it's worthless don't try... sounds fishy

[Seha]

If na/eu put in money jp will find it the following day!

[jPuff]

So it's not a "thank you for cleaving on 12 accounts" box I guess.

[Ligray]

One Matsui follow-up post on item level, sounds they're adding shield skill + to ochain since the block rate was decreased by 30% with the adjustments.

[Byrthnoth]

Wait, none of the adjustments they've told us about thus far would have decreased Ochain's block rate. Are they nerfing old gear / game mechanics to compensate for the absurd amount of skill they're adding to new weapons?

[Martel]

I haven't seen or heard of any adjustments that would lower Ochain's block rate. And I've tested things since the last test server update, so even there Ochain's block rate is right where it should be.

While I welcome shield skill, the block rate decrease thing concerns me.

[shepardG]

Lilgrays sentance is confusing the shit out of me >< normally typing accents don't bother me but I think in this case some key phrasing or words are missing

[grevenilvec75]

maybe they meant since megabosses are such high level ochain blocks for shit on them? So they are gonna make ochain better vs bosses maybe?

[Draginhikari]

Yea definitely needs translate and clarification, this could be extremely problematic especially considering there is not enough Heavy Metal plates in circulation now for most PLDs with Ochains to get to 99 without alot of difficulty right now.
