Sage Sundi Interview Details

[rahskala]

Oh, another thing:

We also need to add new spells. You know spells usually just drop off a monster or are bought from an NPC. So maybe we should create some kind of quest, to get new spells or new songs. It's always that new stuff is going for the Warriors or the Paladins.

I am concentrating on not weapons for melees - maybe for mages in the future. Mages, maybe 5% of mages have a crucial spell, or something. I want to see that - a big difference between mages.

100 points for SE if they pull this off.

[Marcatil]

it's not casual-friendly but it's also not endgame-friendly in that major parts of the endgame are retarded. and by saying "retarded" i dont mean that in an asshole way and im not trying to lash out; im just saying some of the way difficulty correlates w/ loot is completely retarded/backwards/makes no sense to anyone - not even sundi.

Bert's emo

[tiberion02]

Brd/whm can land silence on Kirin cuz I'm pimp. Working as intended IMO.

[Lordwafik]

right.

~10% of the playerbase that is hardcore enough to even get ONE job to 75 can go to hell.

Many people have 75 jobs, having 2-4 75 jobs isnt exactly something that wow's people anymore, it's common.

[Vade]

A lot of the questions were dodged and never answered completely...not sure if it was due to understanding or just flat out didn't want to answer the questions. Even during the discussion panel...

[rahskala]

Common among the people you know, your linkshell, and the other linkshells you play with. Common among the people who post on these forums, sure. But if you consider all the people who have played the game, even the ones who quit in the past, the number of people who have hit 75 is probably pretty darn small.

Well, my LS is me, and 4 other lvl60's, and a 2 or 3 75 friends who pop in once a week or so, and yes, common among these forum members, which you are posting on. And on asura there's many many 75'ers, all the "noobs" get 75 very fast. It's more common than you think, especially after the last few patches with the update.

Why are you coming to a forum(focused on the end game community) and saying we should go to hell?

Would you walk into Harlem and start shouting N*****(rhymes with tigger) ? Walk into a police station and shout PIGS? etc? I sure wouldnt. You're doing just that.

[Okan]

I'm liking the part, unless I misread, where he mentioned they're talking about loot pools and ways to address it. The king HNMs are the gayest (More so the Nirokun) thing ever. 3 days with low drop rates (1/25ish is what? 3 months camping if you get EVERY claim?)

It took Fairy over 2 years before it's second [known] Defending Ring to ever drop.

[geno]

we got one on our first KB kill, but thats the only NA one still (tho an HK player one the lot, i'll consider it an NA ring - it dropped for an NA shell)

[Elcura]

I like how they think mages need more attention when melee's are the ones getting the shaft at HNMs. Not that I'd mind having more (RDM) spells to make the job LESS boring.

[Judah]

i want another minuet.

goddamnit.

GIVE ME ANOTHER MINUET.

[Surealistic]

It's always that new stuff is going for the Warriors or the Paladins.

ok, i could be wrong, please let me know if i am, but what have pld's ever gotten? all i remember is the change in the shield system, and the shaft when it comes to endgame xp, please help me out here and tell me what we have really gotten

[Not Kuno]

A useful Abj set, and Crimson legs. Some pimp as hell af2 (body), as well as shadow ring/mantle.

[nivlakian]

Ondori: Yeah, for example, if you have a SJ of WHM, so like RNG/WHM, and someone else has RDM/WHM, the RDM can't land spells better than the subjob. So a lot of people have wondered why there have been BRDs with SJ WHM landing silence or paralyze on Kirin, but a RDM can't. So a lot of people wonder if that part of the game is a little bit broken.

Typo? I assume that was supposed to say RNG?

No he is asking why someone with a whm sub can land silence as well as a rdm main.

Basically, why can a brd/whm land silence on Kirin randomly while a rdm will get resisted the majority of the time.

Meh, I guess I misread... it seemed to me it was saying "the RDM can't land spells better than the subjob" as in the RDM can't land spells better than what his subjob (WHM) allows. But... "the subjob" is referring to the RNG/WHM I guess.

Edit:
The sentence just seems oddly phrased and then leads into the BRD/WHM thing with "So...". I thought it was trying to say something like "The RNG/WHM can't land spells better than his subjob so how come a BRD/WHM is able to silence Kirin?"

I understood what was meant overall though.

[Daahan]

Any news about MWM?

[Orfeo]

I don't understand why they're hellbent on boosting mages. DO they not realize how underpowered melees are in 8/10 situations?

[aurik]

They're not boosting them, they're differentiating them; pimped endgame mages, for example, use mostly buyable gear whereas Melees use abjured/rare-ex.

[Not Kuno]

It gets kinda depressing doing events for everyone else in the LS getting pimp items except you. But thats just me.

[berticus]

i dont even care who gets the items, you guys who are like "GIVE " <insert me/my job/my class/myself here in some form> " STUFF OR YOUR GAME FCKING SUCKS!!!" should check yoselves

i just want hard mobs to drop stuff, for your effort to be worth it if you will
