Dev Tracker: Discussion

Maybe KKK is intended to shift the output/focus/balance more towards the pet and the downside is intentional? How many ilv119 H2H weapons have less than 77 delay? (Since I think that is the point where baseline MA would start to reduce TP assuming capped magic/gear haste.)

THF gets DW+25 baseline, plus another DW+5 from Gifts, for DW+30 possible naturally. Only need to set DWII for BLU to hit the same mark. The extra 6% is not hard at all to pickup for either job. All of the jobs which get DW/MA naturally are all pretty much riding the cap, and should be trying to avoid gear with it for the most part.

Assuming no gear MA yes. Only KKK does for pup though can't use any gear. For mnk it would be 104 for mnk so ends up about being half. Part of the problem is it actively makes the entire Rao+1 set bad. But yeah dual wielders can be a bad position though they don't have the additional problem of your weapons can also effect if you are hitting the delay cap

The next Version Update is scheduled for mid-September.

Taking the main stage this month is the fourth installment of the Escutcheon questline!

Other features include new synthesizable equipment and the monthly updates to Ambuscade.

Not marked as "last", so at least one more stage after this upcoming one. More Su3 gear maybe? New KI to make new recipes even more exclusionary? XD

Soooo where is this fabled battle content they keep talking about, SE? Now it's getting ridiculous.

I'm pretty sure the FFXI dev team is a drinking bird hitting Omen key over and over !

I wouldn't be surprised if they are now planning to release it in Nov for 11 Day. :/ Hopefully they are using this time to make sure there aren't issues like Ambuscade menus/NPC.

Incentive to reactivate: zilch

I deactivated last month, as all i did over may and june was grind cp, and farm omen cards, but that got boring.

As a vet I want that vana day to be on US time for OUR 11/11.... guaranteed day off when your boss is a vet, too.

While temporary, this brightens my day. The little things.

Unlike you, when I get bored or dissatisfied of a service, I stop paying for it, unlike you who continues to pay for a service you are clearly not satisfied with.

New devpost:

JP1) Someone asked for an NPC that you could trade HQ crafted items to in order to convert into NQ. Devs rejected due to severe manpower requirements to add an npc like this since they would have to verify every item. Suggestion to look into getting a no HQ crafting ring instead.

[Hitou]

Easier solution that they'd never do is allow HQ gear to be used in synths that require NQ only. Bust yes, a ring that costs 80k GP and -1 inv space and serves no other purpose was the smart move back in the day.

[Byrthnoth]

That is actually almost the same degree of complication.

In order to make an NPC that could downgrade items, they would need to make a map between HQs and NQs, making a decision when the case is ambiguous. FFXI has thousands of items. This is possible (albeit boring) to do in a day or two but nontrivial to debug for mistakes/exploits.

For your solution, they need to check whether the recipe involving the HQ exists and, if it doesn't, apply the same map as above and see whether a recipe involving the NQ exists. They still need the map, although your way would potentially allow for a more complicated map that iterates over ambiguous cases instead of just picking one.

[Hitou]

I was more thinking they'd just add a second recipe for the same synth, similar to how you can use either willow logs or tea leaves for most leathers. Hauberk would have the regular recipe and another recipe that uses Haubergeon +1 etc. Sure it'd be a ton of work to add in all the alternate recipes and I can't see them ever doing it, but there's a precedence for it with the synergy rings work with either NQ or HQ base rings.

HQ Ruiner NPC: "That's a mighty fine Haubergeon+1 you have there, I could fuck it up for you for 10,000 gil"

New devpost:

JP1) The reasoning behind why there is a 2min lockout on calling Trusts after inviting someone is that 2min is how long someone has to accept an invite. Changing the party lead bypasses this because doing so resets that timer flag. So, it's a technical limitation that they won't be able to override.

[Sirious]

That's bullshit.

If sending the invite initiates a 2 minute timer, set it to zero upon accepting or just turn that shit off. Or change the invite window to 30 seconds. I mean this shit isn't rocket science.

Just give the real answer; no, we don't want to.

[NynJa]

Lol, you're so full of shit.

[Sirious]

Think again, and that is just from this year, so far.

**Edit, meh, not that serious, and not the place.
