Dev Tracker: Discussion

[dasva]

Plus if you have Decazoom Mk-XI you can totally light shot some dia II if the other smn is sub something that can dia....

[urat]

Not sure if trolling, but thatd involve unequipping my satchet :L

But as /rdm all I can do is sneak/invis pt members who couldnt be bothered to bring oils, toss around cure IVs (generally unneccessary in pet parties) and convert + refresh myself. However with my massive amount of refresh idle gear this is mediocre and I pretty much never have to convert, so I either idle in pet dps gear and convert or...

Swap to /blm or /sch for nukes/enfeebles, but tbh the damage I contribute from that is mediocre, and for unity, escha, and delve the dmg from my nukes is mediocre at best and interferes with pet dps, also it means hauling along two more entire gearswaps for casting....

Which brings me to /cor for bst roll, which isnt terribad as I can also throw out other rolls too, and that helps other pt members out way more than any other subjob would.

The other option is /geo, which is a nice halfway point Ive been messing around with. Geo's spells can't be resisted, and I can contribute to the entire alliance if its an alliance run.

Ive been trying to find the best sub, but for now I go /rdm and help keep the bsts alive since they cant cure themselves.

Campaign
The amount of time between issuance of op credits will be reduced.
The amount of time between campaign evaluations will be reduced.

Meeble Burrows
The amount of time between replenishment of moblin pheromone stacks will be reduced.

Moblin Maze Mongers
The time that must pass before entering a new maze will be reduced.
Cave Conservation points will accumulate more frequently.

Abyssea
The chance of abyssite changing color will be increased.
The amount of time a player may reside in Abyssea per traverser stone will be increased.

Voidwatch
The amount of time that must pass after using /fume before a monster’s weakpoint may be changed again will be reduced.
The price of void clusters will be reduced.
The amount of cruor required to enhance atma will be reduced.

Campaign: Maybe my alt can finally get access to Fiat Lux, I havent bothered because the 5 day wait is stupid.

Abyssea: does that mean SE will extend the 120 min cap? Increasing the base value of each stone is kinda useless considering everyones probably capped on stones, and once you're in for 120, you can probably stay in indefinitely with TE chests as long as you're killing stuff reasonably often.

MMM and Meeble Burrows: lol no1curr

Voidwatch: not quite what was expected, but if fume is reduced to 1 min cooldown, that gives ~25 chances to hit white, or atleast cycle through crappy red's. I say 25 cause you still have to stumble upon the white/red hint.

They would fix the shit VNM change rate in abyssea after I'm done with Ochain. Whatever, screw abyssea anymore. Glad to know they're going to keep empyreans nigh impossible to 99 for anyone sane. Meanwhile people can build infinite mythics if they're really that bored. Wasn't expecting anything great but those changes just sound so meh compared to the first round. Guess there's still the chance of CAP+90% if we're really really really lucky.

[Sechs]

I mean, it's good changes and it's not like they're gonna make the game any worse. Kinda uh, I dunno, pointless maybe?
Wish they would focus on more serious stuff, but maybe that will happen with the second bunch of RoV KIs.

[Tidis]

Those most likely will be the rewards from the RoV KIs, as Nynja missed this part at the top of the dev notes:

The following content and quests will become easier to enjoy through progressing through the Rhapsodies of Vana’diel missions.

[Sechs]

Ah... pretty disappointing KIs then. At least for me.
What about the 5th Trust? We know for sure that's coming, and from datamining (from the previous RoV patch) we know they were going to add Trusts into Abyssea.
Yet there is no mention of that.

[Fwahm]

The 5th trust was already mentioned in an earlier dev post this month.

[Sechs]

Yeah Fwahm, which is exactely why I'm wondering about its absence from this list.
Unless it's gonna be something not bound to RoV KIs but that would seem very strange to me, to say the least.

[Fwahm]

They omitted it because they already mentioned it in relation to new RoV missions this month. It's nothing more sinister than that.

[The Assman]

I'm surprised no KI to summon trusts in Abyssea.

[BerenTebogo]

Pumped about MMM and Legion adjustments, fuck all of ya'll.

[Isiolia]

I'm surprised no KI to summon trusts in Abyssea.

Eh, shouldn't be a surprise really. I doubt they'd tie that to a KI - the only fights that Rhapsodies KIs have enabled trusts so far (offhand) are the various limit break 5 quests. Usually it's just a matter of being able to use trusts in a zone/event/etc now.

There is still the possibility they add hmp to the moogle that sells stuff depending on xour rhapsodys KI

[Sechs]

Nooooooouuuuuuuu ;<

After some investigation, we've found that there is a bug with the Job Point which enhances Contradance. We're currently looking into fixes for the issue.

They finally noticed. I told you guys to avoid discussing about this! Q_Q

[Sechs]

Wishful thinking!
Would be awesome but I don't see that happening.
They didn't allow you to get Alex or Dyna currency from the moogle, did they?
They just allowed you to do that content more often, hence farming faster, but you'd still require to farm.
I think they want to do the same in VW. Make VW easier, make it drop HMPs more often maybe (hah! As if...), but still force you to do the content.

Altough it's a bit strange to have a comparison. In Dyna/Salvo you were locked out by daily gatings (and AP for Salvage, so Assault tags too), here you have Voidstones but they're a much more lax gating compared to the previous mentioned ones, unless you're a new player I guess.
So... yeah, I dunno. Wish they could do something more for HMPs, but making them buyable from NPC would honestly be too much.
(not that I'd complain eh! I just don't see it happening)

[dasva]

Same... hoping they make the mazes account for ilvl too.

[Isiolia]

I think they want to do the same in VW. Make VW easier, make it drop HMPs more often maybe (hah! As if...), but still force you to do the content.

They could potentially build it into a larger system. For example, they mentioned having some sort of trade-in for EX gear. Plenty of that from VW or other post-75 content that hasn't been updated. Maybe turn that into being able to trade in gear for points to buy any Empyrean path items (boss items, colorless souls, etc) along with HMP - and probably other stuff too. Turn obsolete drops into potential projects or gil.
Or roll it into the Sparks system, as that's an inflation problem as it is now anyway. Give people better items to buy and sell to other players, versus creating gil.

[Hoshiku]

So they're making it easier to enter a zone which is nigh impossible to enter due to congestion through reducing the timer on entry items. Excellent!

[Seha]

I don't quite understand the last part in the dev thread...
"ex items we don't want but don't wanna throw away!" what do you want to do with it then??
