Dev Tracker: Discussion

[Trumpy]

Not sure why people assumed HTBs were done being added.

It would be awesome if they added party play and pvp and such with Monstrosity but Id be happy just to have all the species added. It would be an easy way to add content for the game that would take a bit when the game is "dead." Maybe I dumb it down too much, but if they just added species, it seems they would just have to add monster stats, what moves they can do (animations already made so no real work there), instincts, ect. It isnt like adding whole battle content. But I can possibly see them adding it slowly in smaller version updates after November. Notice: November is the end of "Major" version Updates. They will fix glitches, job adjustments, and do small things afterward. I dont consider more montrosity species as something major.

Not sure why? Probably because they kept doing unity NMs and the last time they added one was in DEC I believe, for avatar fights.

someone found the english thing for the song: thread here

I hope that helps and yeah.

After November, all they will be doing is very minor changes to maintain balance of the game and fix glitches. No new content will be added. New Monstrosity species would classify as new content.

[FaeQueenCory]

A simple rule of thumb for what constitutes "new content in a MMO", since it seems universal that a large portion of the playerbase doesn't get it:
Anything visual.
(And this includes stuff like A!Skirmish gear or Unity NMs. Even though most people consider them to be "no work done" content given that it's old models... The fact of the matter is, that even though it may reference previous data for the model work, which it actually doesn't in the case of Unity NMs, it's still very much new content.)
All statements above are just a generalization directed at no one.

One would best to think of Monstrosity forms as new job classes.
And new jobs are most definitely beyond the pale after November.

Basically, if it's not something that can be done in word/excell, it won't be happening after November.

Was actually October 2014, so even further back and honestly not a bad reason to suspect high tier fights were done (even though I still felt like it might happen). I continue to hope for another round with WotG fights some time after the June update.

I'd bet on Alluvion Outer Ra'kaznar in one of the non-Rhapsodies updates too, as probably the most substantial new non-Escha content we'll get.

[Sechs]

I'm no longer taking for granted, as I did some time ago, that they're actually going to release alluvion Ra'Kaznar at this point =/

[BerenTebogo]

Hype knob is turned all the way to 11 for the new HTB.

[Sechs]

Wonder if Waking The Beast HTB will be like the original (with multiple avatars) or with Carby only.

[Toth]

With only 6 people allowed, I hope it will be less chaotic XD

[vivbiibasjiu]

Getting 6 searing lights to the face at the same time on the 119 fight sounds like fun!

[geno3302]

All I've been hoping for since they started making these are Carbuncle Prime and Bahamut II.

I wonder what kind of stats a 119 carbuncle's cuffs will have

I don't care as long as they drop, the regular cuffs are impossible to obtain because of the ridiculous drop conditions unless you happen to have 17 mules to bring with you

[Fwahm]

The high tier battlefields have not been giving upgraded versions of what the old versions did (when the old versions gave something), so I'm not sure why people are expecting things like ilvl carbuncle's cuffs.

[Sechs]

I think actually the weapons that drop from the HTB Avatars share the same exact model and same exact job list as the original ones from the level 75 fights.
Stats were completely different though, and there was plenty of new items anyway.

We should probably be expecting some new items and some similar ones, which will probably have very different stats.

[The Assman]

Drops I can see:
Carby: healing pole, divine magic nuking gear, regen gear, defensive pet gear
Fenrir: bow, enfeebling weapon of some kind, magic evasion gear, magic pet gear
Diabolos: an all jobs pole of some kind, additional effect: sleep scythe, nuking gear, tank gear, refresh gear

[dasva]

I'm really hoping for carby they do the full walking the beast fight complete with having to have won the other avatar fights first and having to fight each avatar and multiple carbuncles at once. And then having a ton of different weapon drops and maybe some kind of thanks for trying reward like carbuncle pole lol.

i got them solo and i know two other people that got them solo on my server

That isn't true, there are cases where they have. Garuda's dagger, titan cudgel, etc.

[Fwahm]

I did miss that the weapons from the avatars were the same model and job selection as the original avatar weapons for the most part (other than Leviathan, who didn't bring his rod over), but everything else is completely new. There's no upgraded elemental rings or belts, no upgraded Nocturnus for Shadow Lord, no upgraded DM earrings for AAs, no upgraded AN earrings from either of the brothers, no upgraded gear from Requiem of Sin from the Shikarees, etc. I suppose there might be one upgraded item in Waking the Beast, but I'd guess it would be the pole, since when they do bring something over, they've been bringing the weapon.
