Dev Tracker: Discussion

[Sirious]

Do we have any idea when the next round of HTB are coming out?

Never, I'm pretty sure that shits done. Replaced by Unity.

[Trumpy]

In the dev post it sounded like all of them to me, but in a previous post they said some. So I am puzzled by this as well.

[Sechs]

What does HTB stand for?

[enoch]

Took me longer than it should've to work out, too, but HTB is high-tier battlefield.

[Sechs]

In the dev post it sounded like all of them to me, but in a previous post they said some. So I am puzzled by this as well.

Which post? The only one I can think of is the one where they said they were going to add Herald's Gaiters to a new BC, with a funky translation that made us think they might have been adding new BCs.
But it turned out they added Gaiters to Ouryu instead, so I'm leaning towards the fact they won't add more BCs.
(which frankly is a shame... would've loved 18men versions of Ouryu and Bahamut, Apocalypse Nigh, Dawn and many more)

Well for MBCNMs, they didn't really cover a pattern but kinda-sorta followed expansion release up to WotG.
Unity NMs they DEFINITELY followed expansion released zones for all of them, except this last batch.
Which tells me that it's unlikely that we'll be getting MBCNMs of any of the WotG or SoA fights... And that no WotG or Adoulin Unity NMs either.
Though Adoulin doesn't need and can't really have any Unity NMs by virtue of having no NMs until a few months ago, all of whom are CL120+.

Would have been neat to have Bahamut or any of the WotG BCNMs... But I won't hold my breath.
(Also pretty sure they don't want to do WotG ones since, generally, those take place in an easily congested instanced zone.)

That dev note about special unity trust is odd. Have to maintain personal evaluation to use them. Wonder if any of them will be worth switching unities for

[Sechs]

What is Personal Evaluation? I don't think I've ever noticed it, only Unity overall Evaluation (ranking)

[dasva]

I don't think it's displayed but I'd assume your participation

[Fwahm]

IIRC, every 1000 accolades you earn gives you 1 point in your personal evaluation, and it resets with each conquest update.

[Sechs]

Oh noes, gonna have to go back to that boring Monster Rearing again to get the new KIs they're adding, which will surely be better than the previous ones.
CP+4% anyone?
/sigh

I hope both Mog safes will be accessible from both floors of Mog House btw, or it's gonna be annoying.

Does the other zone look like The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah, only greyed out?

[Maurauc]

Does the other zone look like The Sanctuary of Zi'Tah, only greyed out?

Yeah, that's definitely a reskinned Zi'Tah. It gives it a Wind-Waker style frozen-in-time look!
They did say that the first two zones would mostly be a reskin, so I guess this is number one!

[Sechs]

Abyssea - Sanctuary of Zi'tah!
Not sure that's one of the zones I would've picked for a reskin honestly, but w/e

[Maurauc]

As long as it has awesome music (Zi'Tah remix?), I don't mind. It's big enough to have some cool stuff hidden away.

[vivbiibasjiu]

I like Zi'Tah, they could have picked worse for a zone to reskin. Like Abyssea-Attowah

[Julian]

And if that wasn't enough, we're also wasting some of our final precious development time on a feature as useless and stupid as monster rearing!

Wish it had at least been monstrosity, at least that was fun and had loads of potential.

[Damane]

is that the sanctuary of zitah in the teaser pic just in black and white

[Trumpy]

Sanctuary of Zitah is one of the few zones where no matter what, whenever I go thru it, I aim to run one direction and somehow a few moments later I realize I have run the opposite direction of which I intended. Not sure if its when i open the map to check where I am (Or take a second to look at the TV) and I hit a wall and bounce off or what.

@Sechs
I cant seem to find the first post I read where they said "Some" (I can only find Kincard's translation of a post sayin Some) So I am not sure if where I read it was only in Kincard's post. I swear I read it (somewhere official in a Dev post) 1-2 days before their official Alter Ego Adjustment post.

[Julian]

I've been playing the zitah theme in my head all morning and I haven't even had sound enabled in this game for years.
