Dev Tracker: Discussion

I guess part of the monstrosity announcement is about that dragon quest, ffxiv and ffxi crossover, since you will be able to play as DQ's slime and ffxiv's spriggan bunny thing.

If that's the only thing they are adding to monstrosity in December I'll be sad.

I Also have the feeling they will fuck up this event in 1-3 ways:
1) Make it so you can only play those mobs for a short period of time to unlock the gear.
2)You will only get to fight against other mobs not players and it will be just like leveling chigoe, fucking painful.
Or
3)You only get points for killing players who are playing slimes, not being slimes.

The crossovers being on December 11 with content from FFXIV and DQX meandering into Final Fantasy XI. Two more Final Fantasy XI events are slated for 2014.

Wonder if those other two will just be repeats or additional events making use of the mobs. Still kinda iffy on the whole cross-over idea, but if they're gonna do it, the idea that it won't be just some weird one shot thing isn't that off putting. Just add a story that the lost slime came and replicated, then in an update down the line make them a regular enemy. Same for Spriggan. Curious what kind of instincts will be available from the two.

[Ophannus]

The slime shield is all types of creepy.

[Spira]

lol its dat is already in game.. its quite cute.

i just tuned in to the nico event.. anyone know what happened so far

[Hachi]

They're adding mercenaries, of a sort. They take up party slots and the ones the guest summoned were Kupipi, Ayame, and Nanaa Mihgo. They're also introducing a hunting-log-type-thing...I think. The detail of the video is pretty shit without HD.

[Ligray]

i just tuned in to the nico event.. anyone know what happened so far

They show hard version of single AA EV battle, a tiny bit of "eminence" content, and reive npcs?(guessing) that are summonable, joins your pt, cures and ws they only showed Kupippi, Nanaa, and Ayame.

[Spira]

so its kinda like fellow npcs? except heroes?

edit: lol they're playing this game where players find the hosts in random areas as rabbits

and just showed froot loops colibri, the vw penguin, orange fruit mandragora spriggan and the DW slime as new monstrosity species lol

..i think they're going thru the crossover thing now

..producer Q&A now.. geez its a real late night thing

..seems like Salvage will also be solo-entry from next update

..and they're gonna add like convenient warp systems.. elsewhere..?

...version update 12/11

[Spira]

lol they're doing super Divine Might now

edit: and wiped of course lol.

im kinda surprised that 44,000 people are actually tuning in to this.. if im reading the numbers right

[Hachi]

Were they doing super Divine Might with 6 people or did they scare up an alliance?

[Spira]

6 lol.

..now they're trying very difficult AAMR with 5

this is hilarious their WAR is whiffing on AAMR.

[Hachi]

Is it me or is Matsui's accuracy against MR... complete shit? I swear I never saw him hit once haha

apparently it isn't just me haha

[Cairthenn]

In addition to this, we will be increasing the base value of movement speed,

Well that was unexpected?

[Spira]

is there.. a full translation of the entire event?

[Hachi]

is there.. a full translation of the entire event?

FFXI doesn't have a Reinheart who does crazy shit like that, sadly. If they're going to cover the Q&A it might show up on the official forums, sometime, maybe, perhaps?

[Karbuncle]

Theres update notes added on the Official forum, that cover basically all of what you guys talked about here.

[Funkworkz]

Whenever they say an update date on the official forum, its always a day ahead. For NA the update should be 12/10 Tuesday.

[Damane]

increased movement speed o.o, omg biggest change EVER!?

[Treize Kordero]

December Further revamps for artifact armor Add stats
Add methods for reforging
Enable trading of other seals for Sacred Kindred’s crests With these adjustments, the item level of artifact equipment will increase to 119.

Ahh yes now my Beastmen Seals, Kindred Seals, Kindred Crests, and H. Kindred Crests that I have stacks upon stacks of.. have something very useful to be used for.

[Spira]

increased movement speed o.o, omg biggest change EVER!?

and apparently warp between home points.. and more home points (aetheryte? lol)

guess they're going to top the Oct patch for utility upgrades

[Seha]

I've read some interesting things there! More movement speed and requirements cut for salvage is very interesting.

And birds to monstrosity! I can finally become a penguin!!

edit: oh my, bonanza!
