DISCUSSION: 11/04/2013 Version Update

[Toth]

I see they replaced the items you get in the old revies but what about those old pieces? I wonder if they get upgraded automatically...(yeah right )

[Khiinroye]

Game is up

[JSHidaka]

server up

[Gokku]

not a single piece of monk af seems like an upgrade , the feet MIGHT be useful if the kicks are boosted to relic / oaxtur dmg levels. aka no reason to resub for monks.

[masterlobo]

Was new music unearthed? Are the ice zones going to feature the same song almost all of SoA has?

[Spira]

geez. i did a manual file check the moment game went down and im still not done updating :\

[Byrthnoth]

High buff situation against Tojil, I get this without using any of the other new gear:
Glanzfaust with free AM3 > Verth with 30% ODD > Oatixur > Spharai > Verth without 30% ODD > Glanzfaust without AM

Most of them have about 20% higher DPS than the highest my DNC can obtain under the same conditions.

[Ansel]

Does anyone else miss the days when you could go down the list of new equipment and just go "No. No. Maybe. No. Definitely. No.?" With all the stat vomit these days it's impossible to quickly tell what is better without using the spreadsheet.

[Peace Walker]

Servers are back up

EDIT: a little late on that

[JSHidaka]

meh.. well you cant trade old seals for new ones..

[Strange]

After turning in the Ukonvasara to Oboro, he asks for 300 Riftborn Boulders in order to upgrade it. Seems you can only undertake one upgrade at a time, he didn't acknowledge my Bravura afterward.

[Warusha]

Pretty excited for laevateinn! Now I feel compelled to finish claustrum as well

[Toth]

Uh oh hehe Most Nms and BCNms will only drop probably 1-2. Sounds like it will take a bit for the upgrade. Is that acceptable...?

this is still stupid , what was the point of updating relics if your going to half ass it.

[Scrynth]

Did my claustrum just get good? I may need to resub

[Ansel]

Not really defending this, but they did say the RMEs would continue to get better so Spharai will eventually be better than Oats. But I agree with you.

[Gokku]

Mandau takes 300 plutons.

[Dominico]

* The following adjustments have been made to magic maps.
o Rewards have been added to quests that grant magic maps.
o The following NPCs will now sell magic maps for non-expansion areas formerly obtainable only by quests.

Violitte – Southern San d’Oria (G-1) / Elesca – Northern San d’Oria (I-8) / Karine – Bastok Mines (H-9) / Rex – Port Bastok (J-7) / Mhoji Roccoruh – Port Windurst (G-9) / Pehki Machumaht – Windurst Woods (H-11)

So guessing you can just flat out buy maps for places like CN now?

They already said the goal was to make R/E/M comparable with level 119 weapons, not completely superior. Some R/E/M are better than others, so if they're comparable on the whole, some will be better than 119, and some will be worse.
