Dev Tracker: Discussion

[sapphire]

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!

Congestion?! You jest! Don't we need server merges? Kidding aside this is why every time someone posts about not being able to get into a zone due to congestion I go "congrats! You just personally pushed back merges for another month." (Confession, I personally am not interested in being merged.) But what are you gonna do, content is being balanced not just for low-man, but assuming a low population.

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??

My two guesses are:

"Let me shop sell some stuff that isn't sellable ATM so I can at least get some gil" or "let me store it in case I do decide I need it later /panic!"

Which content are you talking about? At least on my server (Odin), none of these systems have any congestion (except for maybe MMM, which I haven't checked in a long time).

"Let me shop sell some stuff that isn't sellable ATM so I can at least get some gil" or "let me store it in case I do decide I need it later /panic!"

Those were two of the suggestions, alongside things like being able to bazaar them, being able to turn them into conquest guards, or more reforging.

People don't like just throwing stuff away I guess.

We're thinking about adding an NPC who will take some of these items. However, we're not sure yet what items will be listed yet. We'll keep you updated.

Hmmm I wonder what they are going to do.... Well its obvious they are adding a storage type NPC. I kinda hope it goes the way of the old armor storage npc that used Key items rather than mog slips. Unless they come up with some newer idea.

And yes they "noticed" the contradance thing because someone posted a bug report.

Reading the person's post who submitted the report gave me hepatitis.

This is why we can't have nice things

I was talking about meebles. It's probably only because of the campaign going on right now but it's common on Asura to wait 5 - 10 minutes to enter while being repelled by a mysterious force. Also as there is no queue for the event it's total luck as to whether you get to enter next once the system is full up. When it gets really bad the meeble won't even talk to you! Incidentally does meebles share instances with anything other than MMM?

I believe the Sandworm battlefields are in that area, as well as some of the WOTG missions?

They are as are some campaign ops that no one is probably doing and some sch af quests

[Hoshiku]

In that case I'm guessing the cap on how many instances can be in those zones must be very small (like 10 max).

[dasva]

Knowing SE they probably just made it 1-2 per each of the 3 zones those things can take place in

Are you sure? I've done all Sauro missions goal 3 multiple times for myself and to help friends in a time frame from 22:00 GMT until 5:30 GMT and then from 14:30 to 19:30, across 3 days, and never experienced anything like that.
Aren't you hyperbolizing a bit maybe?

And the COR 550 Job Point gift bug still hasn't even been acknowledged, much less fixed.

[Tidis]

And the COR 550 Job Point gift bug still hasn't even been acknowledged, much less fixed.

Well there are 2 reasons for that:

1) SE doesn't care about COR
2) It's a negative bug rather than a positive one like with DNC.
3) SE doesn't care about COR.

I'm glad to see updated abjurations. VW/Legion sets are the best looking sets in game!

[dasva]

Ah yeah all aboard the hype train. Already been using my thousands of seals doing last orc shunned hero

The recent dev post says that the upgraded hexed gear will come from new abjurations applied to old hexed gear, so the old abjurations likely won't be used.

[BerenTebogo]

Just uncursed a hexed coronet -1 for myself. Fuck me I guess.

You're fine.
From the sound of it, it'll be a new abjuration + the regular/+1 gear piece.... (And some other stuff?)
I'm pretty sure anyways.
I'm also pretty sure to expect the new abjurations to come from Escha-????.

EDIT: Oh snap. Unless they're also adding Alluvion Rakaznar... Then that's where I'd bet they come from.

EDIT2: oh bluh. Actually, they'll probably come from UNMs.... Or maybe even the fake!UNMs that come from Escha zones...
