Dev Tracker: Discussion

[Maurauc]

In terms of the controls that they're discussing, is there actually any difference between the F1 and F7 keys? I know that F1 targets the first player in the party, and F7 targets you, but aren't you always number 1 in the party?

[FaeQueenCory]

Yup. There's basically no difference between F1 and F7 other than location on the keyboard.
(I wound up using F7 exclusively..... Because it's next to F8.... lol)

What does F10 do now? Anything?
F7 would be the best option, IMO.
Then the singular tard they listened to about F8 would get what they wanted...
And the rest of everyone else can go back to being able to play the game easily.

[Tidis]

Hopefully they decide on F7, if they use F10 that's going to annoy a lot of gearswap users!

[dasva]

Who the heck actually asked for f8 to prioritize npcs?

[Hoshiku]

I don't know but they should be dragged into the street and beaten. Too bad they didn't make F7 prioritize NPCs in the first place and leave F8 alone. :3

[Fwahm]

I would have liked F8 targeting NPCs first if it hadn't been able to hit trusts, personally. The trust thing is what mucks it up for me.

[Draylo]

They should just change it back to how it was, please don't use F10 lol.

[Sechs]

They should give us corresponding functions with command lines.
We never had a command like F8 used to be, smart targeting that prioritizes enemies and, if no enemies are found, will target the closest npc or interaction point.
We can target one or the other (/targetnpc, /targetbnpc) but no smart targeting.

Would be cool to have such a command to put into a macro and stuff.

Mog Gardens rank 7 tease for November update, seems like the version update teaser will be announced late next week.

[Tidis]

Hmm I did legendary in all coalitions long before RoV.

As for rank 7, one of the monsters is going to be dragon/wyrm, maybe we'll finally get mog garden wyvern scales.

[Snprphnx]

Damn. Don't use F9-F12. Those are my primary bind keys

[FaeQueenCory]

Baby dragon confirmed?
(Not that having to use teas after pondweeds and shanks wasn't suuuuuper obvious.)

Hope the last level is more than just two.
Given their current setup with the shops (1+2, 3+4, 5+6), makes me hope that the final set are more than just two mob types. Even just three would be good.
But it'll most likely just be 2...

EDIT: Hope there's puks or Xzomits! (those were always the two things I wanted in my mog garden....)

[Tidis]

It would be a fair assumption that rank 7 will include wyrms, I suspect there will only be wyrms because there is already: Normal Wyrms (Fafhogg), Earth style (Ouryu), Fire Style (Tiamat) Ice Style (Isgebind), Dark style (Vrtra)

[FaeQueenCory]

There was the exact same number of Adamantoise variants and it had the "lesser" mob type of Bugards in its tier.

And every tier has at least 2 types of mobs. (4-3-5-3-2-2-X)
It could be only wyrms... And if so, hopefully the new shop has more than just a single base item like the 3+4 and 5+6 shops start with. (Otherwise why even bother making a whole shop JUST for the memento-items of wyrms alone? Should just put them int the 5+6 shop at that point.)

[The Assman]

They might also include zilant (Yilbegan, Yilan, Legion, WoE, and Atomos quest) as an evo.

I can also see mandragora or cactuar. I'm surprised we don't have those already. Mandies are like the mascots of XI alongside Tarus, Gobbies, and crabs. And baby cactuar could be an excuse to use the classic cactuar design.

Geas Fete (10/9)

In the next update, we plan on adding a mechanism to check for the types Notorious Monsters in Geas Fete. We apologize for the current lack of such a feature, but we ask that players wait a bit longer.

Wut?
Not sure I get what they mean there...

[Maurauc]

I think it's meant to tell you which NMs you've killed, so you know which Vorseals you have? And maybe once you've popped them, you can see their pop requirements?

[Kincard]

Yeah, they meant which NMs you've beaten. Guess I had a seizure while typing that or something.

[Tidis]

With the November update image, am I right with it showing:

1) Dragon in what looks like a new area, possibly new Domain Invasion Dragon.

2) Iroha obviously so RoV quests.

3) Cerberus in Mount Zhayolm so UNM Cerberus?

[Sechs]

Wouldn't be surprised if they were to release UNMs for the ToAU "kings".
I still kinda hope they can perform a slight nerf on Sovereign Behemoth though, or at least tell us a viable and reliable way to proc !!, which still seems a bit too random for my tastes, and if you can't proc that it requires seriously high end players (and SP abilities) to kill that NM.
Not that I haven't done it already, but it's not particularly efficient when you have to kill it over 9000000 times to get first the NQ drops and then the mats to upgrade them to +1.
