Dev Tracker: Discussion

[CoreyX]

Carby still has Soothing Ruby at least and a more reliable light damage pact. Garuda and Leviathan basically have the same cure pacts (healing ruby 2 is only very slighty better, and doesn't come with extra effects like spring water) so it wouldn't be stepping on Carby's toes *too* much if they included another healing pact. AoE Regain would be nice though, as long as it's not 1/tick like Adloquium

Seems like the emergency maint today will add the rest of Delve II, via jp dev tracker.

Fujito on a massive posting spree. Most of it looked like it was just reviewing what was done in the previous update, and announcing that the Fractures will be open later today.

One unique post that might just be Google playing tricks mentions a Tenzen battlefield in April, as well as asking us to please stay tuned for additions of "a job only weapon." Maybe doing something with Campaign? Idk if it's just Fujito being batshit crazy like he normally is, but he says "I am planning to campaign for me Buruba Rose in April. Campaign as you play leisurely, and it is the content that you can enjoy."

[Byrthnoth]

In addition, they want players statistics to rise as well, so they discussing increasing the caps on merit point categories.

Best news is the best.

[Kincard]

Sakura as a trust made me lol. Too bad they're not adding battle animations for her or anything.

Equipment Changing
While this may be a bit early to talk about, there are plans discussing whether to add a special bag dedicated to equipment which you can wear from without needing to move to your inventory. In addition, a new macro allowing you to change multiple slots of equipment is also in discussion.

omg! If they do that, then I just died and went to FFXI heaven.

[Seha]

The new things Kin posted are pretty awesome. It's nice to have things to look forward to.

[Treize Kordero]

WHAT!!! Merit point caps increase!!!! YES PLEASE!!! YES PLEASE!! Give me please SE thank you :D

I also like that equipment only back kinda like FFXIV armory chest.. this would be the best quality of life adjustment since teleporting via Home Points. I NEEDZ DIS!!!!

[Malithar]

Starting to wonder if they'll run out of steam. When they first announced monthly updates, just kind of assumed it'd be content > fixes > content > fixes, etc, and it seemed like that when that one month we got some QoL changes and 4 trust NPCs. But they just keep rollin the shit out now.

Unique gear bag, trusts designed for specialty roles, rather than just a party role, more BCs, mention of JSE weapons (wonder if this is in line with an RME type of system, or just a 119 JSE weapon), etc. Shit's all good. Wonder what this Meebles campaign will be though. There's still a few nice pieces from there. Maybe whatever it is will build onto a continuation of Meebles? It always felt like the event was cut short, lacking a Rolanberry Fields section, and a Qufim boss or something.

Potentially similar to their old Meebles campaign, where there were different items available from the worm trade-in NPC. I would love them to add Rolanberry, with a new mob type for a boss, but then I reckon it'd have to be iLevel, and might seem out of place.

[Seha]

I didn't find Meebles particularly interesting. It was like a boring version of Assault missions..though surely quality of rewards can sway judgment.

[dasva]

OMG.

I know most of you already have this in the form of spellcast, but as someone who plays vanilla FFXI... this is amazing.

[Draylo]

Wow a lot of amazing stuff coming, how are they pumping all of this out so fast lol. Ouryu fight, might have alliance availability with very hard mode unless its the 6man ver. That bag just for equipped gear sounds amazing.

Oh god, Ouryu was the most boring battlefield in all of XI and that gets a hardmode before Neo Shinryu? Noooooooooooooo.

I'd like for SE to address the 'glow' weapons and bring them up to 119, even if you have to do a quest or something.

You mean the various special effect ones from vw and legion and meebles? I do miss having lightning on my dagger...

Starting to wonder if they'll run out of steam.

When it comes to QOL stuff or bridging the gap between console and PC, yeah, there is a point where stuff will fizzle. However, actual content is pretty much a, "The sky's the limit..." affair. I just wish they'd lose the boner for hard modes/revamps and forge ahead with Adoulin content/missions/beyond, but that might also be the best they can manage while doing the QOL stuff, too.

Allowing players to cap more merits is definitely one of those long-time wants. If it turns into no category caps, even better.

[Kyte]

Their wording suggests to me that this will mostly be an increased limit to the individual caps in areas such as skills and attributes. I'm guessing we'll see something like attributes raised to 20/40 or something of that nature.
