Dev Tracker: Discussion

[NynJa]

So next update is July 5:

The recently-added Master Trial proved popular with many players, so we are adding another ultra-difficult battlefield-this one featuring those who wish to tackle the very top of the beastman forces.

Did anyone even beat the first one? I know Papesse was making progress on it, but it seems she gave up on it too.

A Japanese shell did, the sword was the only reward and all members received it.

[dasva]

Yeah but it's clearly not popular

[NynJa]

Yeah but it's clearly not popular

For the low low cost of 500 merits (or approx 72 mil if 3boxing 33 ridiculously easy VD AAMR fights), you too can have a chance at a cosmetic item.

I'm pretty sure this is why its not popular lol

[dasva]

Oh if that was all I'm sure it would still have a few people doing it... but it's 500 merits per attempt (though only 1 person needs for the fight so works out a tad better than the HTBF example) with the vast majority of groups failing repeatedly and like 1 confirmed kill. I'd gladly pay 500 merits for a lightsaber. I'd pay maybe 10 to get curb stomped repeatedly for nothing and then only if I was really bored

[Destinye]

Yeah I think they're more referring to the participation level in terms of popularity like when they gauge content popularity in their other MMOs.

Did someone say "Curb Stomp"?

Apparently they did freshly picked earlier today, next ambuscade is Goblins and Bennu+Apkallu adds and skadi armor.

[Psion]

screw the skadi armor, im cracking up at the magic pot mount.

[dasva]

Oh joy next months ambuscade promises to be great fun... oh looks like they are streaming the fight right now too. Hard to say since it's all moon runes but not seeing Dread wind so that is good I suppose. Looked like it was casting brd songs when the apkallus were out but stopped when they died. They didn't respawn

[Maurauc]

Sup

[Seha]

That's pretty cool.

That answer about puppet cures is annoying. If you don't wanna implement something like that just say no, but don't reply with something completely unrelated to what was requested.. -.-

[Sechs]

Despite the fact Automaton's AI was improved some time ago when they split the spellcasting timers (previously it was a single "cooldown" for all spells), but even in light of that, automaton heals AI are still so incredibly stupid compared to even Trusts.
The fact players have a small degree of control (through attachments and maneuvers) doesn't change the fact that Automaton AI is lackluster to say the least.
It's not reliable in party situations. To be fair it's hardly reliable even if you're soloing.

[Hitou]

I haven't touched whm puppet since they added trusts. Even the worst whm trust is 100x better than soulsoother... I also haven't really used pup in a while but that's besides the point.

[Trumpy]

They announced the new login campaign!

Thats a picture, ugh. Your very own CRAB mount!

They forgot to actually upload the page again so the link just takes you back to the main page. JP version works though.

[tenkiki]

Google translate shows T2 Escha Zi'Tah/Ru'aun pop items for 1k points, nq king pops and misc. items to feed pets in Mog garden? for 750 pts. Kinda lame, would've been nice to at least include Incursion coffers as well.

[ZetaEpyon]

Even crappier than I'd expected.
Goodbye mules after bonanza.
