FFXI Feb Update

[Eaglestrike]

Don't be retarded. No Open PVP. How would you like for some level 75 god/god to gank your level puny/nosubjob character every time you zone into the dunes. And on the subject of conquest, it's still quite as retarded. Expeditionary Force would become utterly useless (like it's not almost there already). Either way your idea would cause to many jumps and probably holes in conquest tallying. You sound like you want to turn ffxi into wow. No, just no. If they do that, ballista (which I love... I'm one of the few) should def affect overall regional standings. I've always thought CP should be what you got anyway... not exp. Esp since you are representing your nation.

I never meant completely open PvP. Say you can hit /pvp and be in PvP mode and have some sort of tag that says so. Or maybe add a new section to each region that is just constant PvP for conquest.

I think ToA is planning to use somthing weird like this, but we shall see exactly what they mean, could be anything at this point.

What is the cap for upgrades for Magic Skills with merits? 4 or 8?

KI has a merit guide. And you can check from anywhere in vanadiel.

8...

[Ankiseth]

Actually you can't.

It says the max for combat skills is 12 but there is nothing there you can put 12 into. But thanks.

Is this accurate? It sounds interesting, but I still don't think it's enough to pull me away from 1-shotting horde nubs with 800+ attacks to get revenge for all the times I was 1-shotted as a nub...

[Septimus]

If my WAR party isn't meeting, sure.

I can't wait to get WAR to 75 and actually have fun while getting merits.

Really. I'm really getting the impression > 300 means nothing. Getting mass resists in Jeuno on the weekend on sleepgas with a couple minor gear changes (5x in a row on one mob) really pissed me off. I'm going to be running some tests in dynamis soon with sleepgas.

I actually think they've messed some things up pretty badly. Before the October update I could probably count on 1 hand the number of partial sleep resists I'd seen ever, including as whm/blm with gimp enfeebling/int, now they're somewhat common even as rdm with 349 enfeebling. I'm also pulling in some very flakely numbers on crit %s and dual weild %s while soloing. And my hit % on the slimes in SE Limbus do some crazy things with Sushi, going from sub 20% to 90%+ is just weird, never seen that before on any other mob.

I really wonder WTF the new Temenos and Apollyon areas will be. I think the Dynamis area will obviously be Tavnazia, but wtf are they going to add to the others? Each area either gives a chip for the boss or is the boss so how are new areas going to fit in? New bosses to drop shit armor for the jobs that got left out?

[rahskala]

Proto-Prishe zomg

[Raineer]

eh, I've seen a very nice increase in enfeebling lands all the way up

Still can't debuff gods (that's for the bards), but idk... It's 5 mobs in the game I can't debuff outside of sea.

[Not Kuno]

New bosses to drop shit armor for the jobs that got left out?

What jobs got left out? Those jobs can all wear the sky god armor set. I don't see how anyone is left out.
