Dev Tracker: Discussion

[Maurauc]

Well, whoever leaked the info was right. Pretty cool.
Would be sweet if we can get Diabolos or mini-Bahamut, or mini-Wyrm a la FFXIV as mounts.

[Trumpy]

Did they talk about what they are doin to crafting at all?

[Draylo]

Wow that Fenrir mount looks great. The lore doesn't really matter considering you could have a ton of different summoners all summon Fenrir just to stand around, I mean why can't he transport you places lol. I'd love an Odin or Alexander Mount (the one that flies around).

[Trumpy]

you know mithras are gonna be side saddled tho on Fenrir and thats just going to ruin it completely. So we prolly just gettin the Garka trust or all of them? I can see them stretching it out a bit and doin one AA every other month or something. Did they release all the serpent generals in Aht Urghan in the same update (the ones you need to do the quests for first) or did they do it gradually over time?

Can I ride Garuda? I want to ride on bird tiddies.

They're probably gonna be the last 5 trusts we'll ever get, so it makes sense they will stretch them out.
In before they'll be completely useless =/

Patch notes are up.

I was wrong about crafting, they went with the one other system change that I forgot about that could be non economy destroying. lol
"The rate at which synthesis skills increase below skill level 70 has been greatly raised. * This adjustment does not apply to fishing or synergy." ....Still no help text for rusks -_-;;

"A new alter ego has been added." - Singular. Sounds like they will be doling the AA-trusts out over time, probably 1x per month.

Super surprised that they are giving us mounts in SoA zones though O.o Always figured it would be last on the list since there are no rentals there and waypoints are all over the place.

Looks like some rather unknown items either already had, or were changed to, MBD II and break the standard 40% cap now too.. Will be interesting to see how much the Arasy Staff +1 will sell for after this. XD

[Seha]

I'd love an Odin Mount

On Sleipnir *with* Odin! Romantically hugging him from behind!

Its still pretty inferior to other nuking options for jobs that would nuke seriously...and even then:
Wind Crystal
Guatambu Lumber
Raaz Tusk

These arent exactly hard to get materials.

I still don't understand the issue with the princess riding model female characters got... Someone on my server is pissy about the tiger mount bc of this. :s

Slightly unrelated, but the side-saddle thing reminded me of it.

[Draylo]

They need to make the characters not so stiff, it looks kinda silly at times.

[NynJa]

Do you have any idea how much dev work that will take to add new animations?!?

I don't understand it either.... especially when Galka have the awful sitting on some (like the malboro).
Sitting realistically, if terribly stiff... vs sitting on an invisible floor.

But then *insert racist antiGalka quote*.

And Cleverness.
Your name is apt. XD

New crafting kits are on login for 300pts each.. Seems pricey to me ><;;; Most crafts probably better off using normal recipes so long as mats are available I think.

Nice to see Pelican Ring though. Maybe I will finally get around to working on fishing XD Anyone happen to know what the duration is on the buff?

20 minutes, supposedly.

Something to keep in mind though it wears when you zone too

[Prothescar]

was hoping for some trusts like last month ):

If princess riding model is riding sideways, then yes thats excatly what I'm talkin about. it ruined tiger mount for me lol. Why couldnt they just take the choco riding animation and pop a tiger between the legs is beyond me (like they did for every other race). it looks horribly stiff. How could you even control it. her hands are in the laps, is the tiger in charge? Is the mithra Psychicly driving it? I dunno. But thankfully they went with a regular riding stance for fenrir.

Only female character I have with mounts is taru so it doesn't do that to me but I assume you are talking about sidesaddle. Not really sure about your questions about how to control it though compared to otherwise. None of the models are far as I can tell outside of the chocobo have reins to control it. At best some models have their hands on the mobs back but lol at that being control. Tarus still have hands in laps on some of the other mounts even hume males have hands in laps. They just forgot to put reins on any of them
