Dev Tracker: Discussion (Old)

Lol @ Ochain iLvl 150...holy wtf.

Also, how is rdm not in that list of good AF? Pimp hat ftw.

[Karbuncle]

I personally like SMN AF, and THF Relic grew on me after wearing it for so long... Guess its because I played a female Character it was more bearable.

[Chamaan]

It's a halter top and a couple of plates on the legs and hands, how is that not style? It's berserker rage at its most fabulously garish. It's brash and vibrant, it leaves your midriff exposed and defenseless to taunt your foes with disrespect for their capabilities. Flair and function, all in one. Battle bras forever.

[Toth]

A problem I have with the artifact is that many of the empy armors felt like updated looks of the old artifact gear and made their designs look far better. The originals would need some graphical update IMHO.

[Kyte]

I do not want to wear PUP AF1 T_T

[Tarage]

SMN AF armor wouldn't be horrible. It kinda matches with our AF3.

[Kincard]

I also like the WAR AF myself with the whole gladiator sort of vibe. I can't think of much else it could look like, if you just made it look like a normal suit of armor (Like the Warrior from FF1 etc) it'd probably be really unmemorable.

In addition, with respect to armor, in other MMORPGs that I have played, with a mechanism like this, there will be players fighting nude (with no equipment on).

I dunno why this made me laugh. I guess it's just funny that the idea some people would abuse a transmog system to fight nude bothers him.

[Karbuncle]

I think they could just limit some armor to certain jobs... not super dooper hard... Keeping the Weapons ability to be skin-swapped in the same category (I.E daggers to daggers, etc) is I thought a no brainer too. Seems like they could pull it off with some restrictions.

[Kincard]

Make it so that you can only transmog to stuff your job can wear, resets when job change. There, finished.

Better yet, just add the system and don't care. Why does it bother him that a Dark Knight might decide to fight Tojil in a subligar plus highboots?

[Byrthnoth]

BRD AF1 incoming!

[dasva]

But then we will have naked mithra fighting everything!!! Oh the humanity

[Kincard]

BRD AF1 incoming!

inc coffer key farm spots flooded

[The Stig]

Lets hope the gear doesn't retain some of their retarded stats . . . .

Possible scenario:

Fighter's Mask
[Head] All Races
DEF: 111 HP +250 DEX +99 INT +85 Enmity +75
Club Skill + 188 Evasion Skill + 188
Lv. 99 WAR

Also, I wonder if they'll make ilvl 120+ versions of the AF weapons... ahahahahahaha, forcing everyone to redo their AFs.

[arus2001]

I look at them simply making ilvl whatever artifact like RUN and GEO are getting. Still, I've been a fan of the uber-AF idea consolidating them all into one piece since like forever.

And as much as some want to mock it, I welcome the potential of RDM getting MACC/Potency from sword skill. Yes, they still have other issues, but staff reliance has been one of them since elemental staves with no caster swords/daggers that come close.

Google Translate only goes so far, but looks like Mocchi mentioned a few cool things this morning. Apparently the bushes in Yorcia can be taken down permanently once col. rate reaches a certain point, maybe that'll spur the JPs to work on the area, sure as hell doesn't seem like anyone else is bothering XD. Matsui also thinking about adding Meebles: Adoulin? "Miburu Burroughs ~ Ado~urin Hen". More mentioning of powering up JSE, and something about giving input in regards to whats wanted? Can't really tell.

[Ligray]

Last part was more of an reiteration of something Slycer and NA team translated already, 2nd Login campaign info next week from JP side's Dev summary.

I'd be all down for more meebles, I really want to know what was going to come from Rolanberry Meebles and if they end up just shifting the content to Adoulin I'd be happy with that.

[dasva]

Yay bushes will stay exactly the same

[TummieGaruda]

Not even sure how they even came up with a shield that was available waaaaay before ilvl stuff is somehow lvl 150.... That said I didn't see them actually address the question. They said they didn't want to add ilvl because it would nerf it yet they never actually answered the question about how yesterdays post made it sound like they already had nerfed it.

They didn't nerf Ochain. They were saying that the blockrate of Ochain dropped by 30% against mobs that were level 110 or higher, and the new shields with the +skill were blocking at or even possibly above that of the Ochain's blockrate so they are going to lower the +skill on the new shields so that they close the gap but do not overtake Ochain's Blockrate.

I don't think that ever happened on live servers thou.
