December update

[Maguspk]

wat would be a cool change would be seriously upping SC dmg(distortion / frag / fusion / grav... etc), and giving it stronger elemental properties..

so if u need "elemental dmg" (not blms) just do distortions for 600-1000 DMG. make 2H weapon SCs much stronger than 1H weapon too, or something to that effect.. i just think SC dmg is one aspect of the game that has gone to waste w/ cool potential to balance jobs and dmg roles.

also, i think its stupid that spamming rampage/vorpal/asuran/jin/slug w/e is nearly always better than making SCs. although depending on how the TP is flowing, asuran and jin spam ends up fusion anyway... and slug > jin pops out impactions (thunder4 MBs). There should be serious incentive to SC'ing at 75.

Up'ing the DMG on SCs is a good way to improve melee and give alternatives to (not nerf) BLMs.

that might be the best idea i've heard in this entire thread. sc's afterall should be an elemental source of damage due to the elements of weapon skills clashing. it shouldn't only be, like it is currently, a little animation that gives a blm a small window to do extra damage with.

Hopefully they'll do something about all the bleeding assfucks who level their npcs on every single popular exp mob from 30-70.

you can dream all you want about the next update but im sure as hell it wouldnt be what youre looking for..
i cant really talk much about nerfing, but adjusting the jobs to a ceartin level would be better..nerf the over powered ...or just power up the under powered

[Benadar]

I agree that more melee being able to hit something like fafhogg for damage and not getting served an all you can eat HWing buffet would be nice for a change.

ROFL

december update is probably gonna have some adjustments made to jobs and the battle system to prepair for the new jobs coming out in the new expansion.

Chances are that the changes made to the battle system might just be a change to prevent MPK, and not balance the melees.

Yeah that will be the day, SE fixes melees...I just lol'd in RL for five minutes.

HNMs I agree BLMs are needed to make kills smooth, but exp is a different ball game.

on a side note I never used to notice how sick Elegy was with slow, when I get to 59+ on War it'll be piss easy to tank lol

nerf elegy

get cancer

lol or better yet give BRD a paralize song :D or silence song :wink:
but those 2 will never happen so why bother ...

-Mages beside RDM will now sometime can instant kill any player on any condition. Yes, we are going to make this change right on Ballista Royale to screw you lol

[Lordwafik]

I wouldnt mind at all if they changed ballista to "Utsesimi can no longer be used on a subjob".


Yesterday's ballista = utsesimi fest. 4 RDM/NIN vs 3 RDM/NIN and 1 NIN/RDM, I HAVE NEVER SEEN DIAGA BEING CAST SO MANY TIMES BEFORE, I THOUGHT WE WERE AT NIDHOGG.

God, then the next match came, same shit, except it was a bunch of war/nin, drk/nin, thf/nin, rng/nin. Heck if the nin could sub nin they would. Those 2 matches + chicken pussy PLD/NINS who run away when they are near death and losing badly, reminded me the whole reason I quit playing ballista.

RDMs are obsolete.

[Correction]

God don't get me started on ballista.

PLEASE allow food to last beyond a death in ballista.

PLEASE move the respawn homepoints from their retarded locations on every single goddamn map except ghelsba.

PLEASE make quarried items more relevant to the jobs that are digging for something. Nothing dumber than digging up Eye Drops as a BLM.

PLEASE release Diorama Abdhaljs-Purgonorgo Isle. Ghelsba is too damn popular and I hate camping Tillecoe versus people who want their own stupid 'OMG LEVEL 10 NO SUBJOB LET'S GO' matches.

lolz yea i got paralize on kirin once
that was more of a highlight than the actual fight :D

am waitin for the day, when i land silence on suzaku

haha they need to really fix that for RDMs lol *Cough cough* Magic Accuracy...

[FFXIFlux]

Here's my prediction on what december update gonna be like It's too good to be true, but some of it is probably going to be true :D

Here's mine:

Battle system has been changed! Now mobs will have their name turn orange for 3 seconds before you lose your lock.

New areas! Temenos South is release where you can fight the same monsters you've already fought 8 billion times, only for even less reward!

New fellowship options! Even more cloths are now available!

New quests! We've added quests that you need to do in order for you fellow NPC to wear those new cloths, enjoy!

New crafting available! Now you can make level 1 gear with +1 earth resist out of you spare nidhogg scales and venemous claws!

Other stuff! Ballista has been completely changed.

[Raineer]

New crafting available! Now you can make level 1 gear with +1 earth resist out of you spare nidhogg scales

This would be an improvement.

[layoneil]

nothing NEEDS blm dmg, you just kill shit faster with more blm's.

People have just fallen into that trap of a thought.

if the difference between having or not having BLMs means you need 3+ people of other jobs to compensate for each BLM, i would consider that pretty much the same as NEED.

because for a lot of groups, missing 3-4 people is often what determines whether they have the manpower to kill something or not.

nerfing the sea manaburn xp was gay. the xp was worse than a war PT on deco's and worse than a KRT mnk pt.

no, it's not gay. those PTs is less XP but it's also less effort. yeah you can pull in 10k+ per hour in a super MNK PT with all MNKs that have Black Belts with a good mage puller.

or you can also pull in 5k-6k in a Sea PT with fairly gimp BLMs playing with one hand on the keyboard and one in your pants.

the complete lack of effort is why they nerfed it. not because the XP per hour blows everything else away.

Yeah, 4 blms deserve 50% of the drops. If you're too lazy to form a normal party to do it, then you only get half of the cut. It's that simple. You're paying for my time...I know I'm not about to go out there just to get your greedy ass a free v claw.

Wow, on sylph BLMs do this a lot, and only get 15%(3%each) @@;

Because we all know that it is physically impossible for someone to form a fairly standard party with 5 friends to beat Operation Desert Swarm. If someone is so lazy that he/she has to pay strangers as opposed to taking the time to get a bunch of friends together who will each put in an orb, then he/she deserves to have more than half of the loot given to the people who are actually doing all of the work in the BC while he/she sits on his/her ass doing nothing for the fight.
