December 2015 Version Update - Discussion & Findings

[EjinCaitsith]

Revit change is retarded. It isn't going to change the strategies people use, mostly make it more cumbersome to do now (people gonna have to leave escha to reset things, etc.)

I'd think 6man WoC is now near impossible without revitalizer.

The biggest benefit of revitalizer for me was not having to go to LJ and MMM reset, but if this means people can't cheese the hardest content in the game with multiple SPs(where they otherwise wouldn't have won without the revitalizer) It's an inconvenience I can live with.

[Tarage]

The jump emote looks retarded.

[Smokenttp]

can buy unity shirts right now, anyone know if they give hidden effect like increased unity points? or are they just something for looks

Not sure about this apururu did have a different dialog line if i summoned she with the shirt on however i am not noticing any other different behaviour in her, as for my character i have not noticied any kind of buff for having shirt on not even not so obvious things like cure potency or fast cast

They already said it wont have stats just make the leader stronger if summoned

[dasva]

So looks like they changed the default selection for waypoint warps to no now...

You can change bubbles and still have two Bolster.

I didn't see the new NMs at goblin npc in Reisenjima. Anyone know how to pop the new ones? I don't have any T2 Reisenjima clears.

Also, the new software keyboard thing doesn't work for me.

[vm0d]

reisenjima t2 coffer reqs have been reduced. i didn't notice it in the notes (apologies if it's there).

instead of lowerx5/gramkx3, it is now lowerx2/gramkx1

[Sechs]

The coffer thing is much better and was a due adjustment, but an even better one would've been to leave the 5/3 requirement but simply make coffers tradeable/sellable.
Making them that way would've still kept Incursion as "relevant content" and even better made it into a reliable source of money, while giving players the CHOICE of wether they want to farm it, or just spend gil on the coffers.

This way (even if 2/1 is much better) players do not have a choice, they are FORCED to farm incursion, and it creates organizational issues as you can't have a single person farm but are forced to bring multiple players there.


I'm happy of the change, but it's still a bad game-design choice imho. If their goal was to have means to keep Incursion relevant they could've chosen a better path to achieve it.

[Sechs]

Is there a way to compare old Abj stats to new Abj stats?

Edit:
Nvm it's all in the patch notes...

[S N K]

So some guy on my ls is bitching that Entomb for BLU got nerfed? Maybe it's a mistake or a bug?

[Johnb]

The regular mobs in Reisenjima seem to take a lot longer to repop than usual. Hopefully that's not intended...

[Trumpy]

It says in the update notes that around ??? they adjusted the number and respawn time of regular mobs. are you near a ??? ?

[Johnb]

Does anyone know what the new drops for Ascended mobs are?

Oh, that may be why. I didn't see that in the update notes. Thanks for that.

[Raithen]

Also, the new software keyboard thing doesn't work for me.

It worked fine for me by hitting R1 on controller just like PS2.

The update notes literally touched on this: Calling forth your Unity leader's alter ego while your Unity shirt is equipped will grant you status effect bonuses that scale with your Unity's ranking.

[Sechs]

Does anyone know what the new drops for Ascended mobs are?

Well check the BG-wiki page with new drops. Maybe the weapons come from them?

Also anybody know which/how many new NMs they added, from the dats?

[Johnb]

It worked fine for me by hitting R1 on controller just like PS2.

I'm on PC so I dunno about that.

[Raithen]

Right, I mean that as it's a port of the PS2 software keyboard it functions exactly the same. The cursor must be activated and then you press the R1 mapped button on a controller to open the software keyboard.

Nerfed how? It was one of the weaker elemental spells due to the vit mod, and the petrify was already extremely inaccurate.
