Good luck getting your wars to sub anything but NIN.

BTW, maybe it's just me worrying a bit, but did anyone else notice they didn't specifically mention chocobo racing coming in October... Could be nothing, but would I be surprised if it was delayed? Not particularly.

Isn't chocobo racing (as well as breeding, retirement, riding, etc.) already implemented? It's just that no one's chocobo has grown up yet, so no one can do it yet.

Racing other PCs is whats going to be introduced.

The good 'ol ToAU timeline has the next update opening the Chocobo Circuit. Not quite sure where exactly that will be, or if that's going to get pushed back along with the chocobo breeding stuff, but I'm almost certain the zone itself does not exist yet (aside from the map .dat).

I'm fairly sure I saw a tour of the zone via Youtube (the same way we saw the Ashu Thalif on Youtube if anyone can remember). >.>

Or was that chocobo breeding? I'm remembering a galka standing at a starting line now perhaps someone can help out with visuals but Im pretty certain most of the zones are already "there"

Argh, owned me. So the zone model is there, the map is there. It looks like you'll be able to ride your chocobo straight there from any stables, considering every zone to the Circuit is from the zone where a stables resides. That doesn't look like any Aht Urhgan architecture to me though. Either way, I'm assuming that zone will be the circuit for racing chocobos from the photographs on the walls and the trophies. (was no point in releasing it until people could even -have- a grown chocobo, just a waste of a zone and update time).

Breeding is already in the game, I thought. Just no one has seen it yet because no one has a fully grown chocobo yet.

Before the October update, people should already be breeding, riding, and retiring their chocobos, right?

[Eaglestrike]

Going by the timeline this next update won't be too special (though they could have some job adjustments). Winter seems to be a bigger update, possible finish to ToAU story, colosseum and multi-player battle fights = new BC/KS/ISNM's for alliances?

Sega prepared poorly for the opening of JP PSU and the servers for that got shot to hell in a few days. They're working on having more servers + fixing massive bugs that came up by Oct.1st but according to people the game itself is still pretty fun. It's crappy to hear but at least they're making this into a massive extra month of open beta for the online part.

Hi, wrong thread?

[DrObvious]

Now, don't get me wrong. I like the fact there are fights out there that take an alliance to fight and they are good fun for the most part. However a lot of endgame relies on big groups. Dynamis, Wyrm fights, Abjurations, Sea fights, higher level COP missions. That's all well and good, but there's not always going to be 18 people on that really want to go and do these things.

That's not a game issue, half those things don't require 18+ people to do. Sounds more like a linkshell issue.

[Norelco]

Judging from that timeline the next update can be pushed back as far as November (or the end of November).

[Lordender]

idk about assaults so far they have been more annoying than fun, theres some good gear in there don't get me wrong but i just find myself saying "meh" than "omfg assault every day" when i get a tag.

[Illverin]

If the update doesn't show promise I'm pretty sure you'll see a lot of NA's quit for FFXII in November just like you saw a decline in Japanese players when FFXII came out in Japan back in march

[loial]

I found some of the later assaults (Lance Corporal and up) to be more interesting than all the other hack 'n slash assaults. Assault is probably one of the better additions to the game that they made in the expansion.

Adjusting beseiged is simply a waste of time. Since they put a population cap on Al Zahbi, they need to put a level cap as well. Kick out those level 40 players and let people actually defend Al Zahbi if they choose to. Beseiged is just going to go by the wayside of all the other content people don't want to bother with.

Remember back near NA release, they made all of these adjustments to EF? Who does them? They made a big deal out of garrison as well. Its barely utilized. However, there is no penalty to ignore EF. Who cares if beastmen own a certain zone?

You see how SE has made beseiged adjustments in nearly every update since this expansion release? When the next expansion comes, they will have to spend another 6 months re-adjusting it to make it easier otherwise the Aht Urghan area is going to become a wasteland. No runic portal + no experience bonus = why bother?

Are people still bitching about this? I haven't seen a full Besieged in about two months now. Hell, we've lost the AC three times on our server.

The Besieged rush is over.
