Yeah this gratitude is a new campaign according to the post on the main pol site

I hadn't checked frontpage yet at the time I posted earlier. /blush

New devposts:

NA1) POL Frontpage: The Fall Alter-Ego Extravaganza is running from Nov 1 - Nov 30. (Was wondering about this.. Might need to update the seasonal events page to account for the new scheduling.)

JP1) By request, they are now considering adding the description of the contents of quivers to their item descriptions. (Level and jobs that can equip the ammo inside.) They are busy with monthly update work atm tho, so don't expect it until early next year.

JP2) Soft rejection of request to add SC elements/properties to Blood Pacts like they just did with WS, (dev added Ready moves and Blue Magic to their response,) due to the overwhelming amount of localization/verification work that would require. "Soft" because they need to discuss it before deciding on the official policy, so the rejection is not set in stone yet.

New devposts:

JP1) Weekly devpost roundup. Nothing new. Slightly stronger wording on the rejection of adding SC elements to BP/Ready/BlueMagic. They'll be talking about the new battle content next week. (There should be a new FP broadcast for Nov as well, but no word on date/time/happening.)

NA1/POL Frontpage) November Update Announcement is up. Looks like Dvergr in Ambuscade V2, and pic confirms that the new battle content is Dynamis.

New devpost:

JP1) Request for adding an additional method to check how much alexandrite you've traded in towards a mythic, has been accepted for review and put in the "to be considered after all high priority projects/tasks are complete". In other words, when they have nothing better to do than debate move names for ambuscade. Which I'm sure they spend more time monthly on than actual work on ambuscade.. XD

[Tarage]

So... Dynamis-Divergence/Dread.

Double D's... I've got nothing.

I, for one, plan to milk them.

[Nyarlko]

Sorry for missing stuff, but been busy coughing up blood ._.;; (Not joking. Life sucks right now, but I'll live.) I'm not bothering w/ the links for the new screenshot contest. Check POL if you don't know about it.

NA1) Nov Update table: New battle content: Dynamis-Divergence, a small QOL tweak to craftchains, but the most important thing: Poroggo in V1. XD

JP1) Nov Update table: Few small differences from ours. They call out that in addition to adding new areas to DD, they will also be expanding each area after implementation. Also sounds like they may actually intend to change/adjust things as time goes to counteract player strategies. O.o?!

NA2) Collaboration event w/ Pictlogica returns. 11x pixelart furnishings.
NA3) Collaboration event w/ DQX/FFXIV returns. Slimes and spriggans!

New devposts:

JP1) Weekly devpost summary. Looks like I missed one. ^^;; AAHM will change it's combat logic based on whether or not there is a tank job in the party and will tank if there is not one. Matsui will also be doing a demo of D-D during the next FP broadcast, date not confirmed yet.

JP2) Blood Pact recast reduction from Summoning Magic skill is capped at 10sec, though with current gear it's only possible to reach 9sec. They will be adding gear that will allow us to reach 10sec sometime in the future.

NA1) Round 3 for Vana'versary objectives incoming. Focus on Jeuno.. Lamplighting anyone? >.>

[dasva]

I'm hoping for more brown mage shenanigans

[gaira]

anyone concerned about congestion with only 1 zone upon release for dynamis? i suppose if they can instance omen they can instance southern san d'oria?

Likely no more congestion than Omen, even without instancing.. though I personally expect instancing.

[Hitou]

Also possible it's gonna be like current dynamis where anyone can enter and gets their own time limit abyssea style.

[dasva]

Or they could do oldschool multiple alliances preferred for farming with 72 hour lockout.... I mean look how well lockout worked for Omen. Not even being sarcastic there. Basically same entry system as ambuscade and longer periods within but a lot less runs

I also could foresee this introducing af2+2/3 and that it still uses Paragon job cards and they will drop in there... but omen droprates will be better unless you mass attack the DD. Of course will still need MB cards from DD

[Trumpy]

So does this new dynamis sound like alterations to existing dynamis sandoria or is it a separate zone? I want dynamis sandoria to constantly still be empty ! (sarcasm)

[dasva]

Probably just going to be different.

Earlier in this thread, someone posted screenshot of the datamined zone names, which would mean they are their own zones/instances.

[Nyarlko]

~_~;;;; This waiting on the next Freshly Picked is killing me... orz

They haven't even put up the pre-broadcast announcement yet, but they should be doing it before the update in a few days. :/ Think last time was actually ON patch day, but normally they let us know sooner than this on the date/time.

Putting out the call in advance for backup translation if anyone is able to lend a hand. They should be going into detail about D-D, and I don't want us to miss anything. XD

... Also, just putting this out there, but since I didn't even notice it earlier... There's a new trust incoming! O_O;; Baseless speculation on who it is? lol

[Hitou]

Another Shantotto because we don't have enough yet.

[Gokulo]

I wouldn't hate an all shantotto party

[Loziel]

Do you still play Gokulo?
