Should be used by now to have Square "reuse" gear. Anyway, it's going to last 1 month before it go back in everyone storage, I wouldnt worry much about it.
I wonder how long SE spend to organize those events. It was fun 2 years ago, but they should use their programer for something else.
Argh, I mentioned that 22 minutes ago! I hate my life~
P.S. I'm sure all the DRGs were fucking outraged when we got the red Forks last Halloween.
Yep, cant wait till dildo-fest when we all get smn horns. Imo they shoulda used optical hat model not the fugging BLM AF. AF should be special ~_~ hi2u chapeau being whored out.Originally Posted by Not Kuno
I don't get it. Does reusing a partial model like they're doing with this take less system resources than making something totally new? Why didn't they just make a totally new model?
In any case, this is really lame.
they take the model (which is a set of lines/points) and re-skin it - that is put new colors on it, most ffxi armor is done on a few base models, for example there is the 'gi' model, the 'daihannya' model (shared by omokage et al).
also it is possible to change the size by multiplying, which i think is done for weapons for different races.
edit: it takes less time than creating a new model, but doesn't improve performance for the user.
if event starts 10/19 then we are gonna having a maintenance before that?
Events tend to start a day or so after the update that sets them up. So, it sounds like the Update is going to be mid-week.
Nope, but actually modelling in 3d isnt as easy as retexturing, especially when it comes to low poly because of the restrictions you have (making it look good while not having as much to use). It's just SE being lazy, why make a hat + texture when you can just make a texture?Originally Posted by Kurp
Sounds right to me. Probably wednesday is my guess.Originally Posted by miokomioko
LOL consistency. (On EU POL)The Harvest Festival will begin on October 19, and a new event named "The Dark Lilies" will be introduced along with the usual costumed fun!
Bring your friends and join the festivities!

I am assuming that this is due to the event starting at a set time in Japan, which would be the morning of the 20th in EU, but the evening of the 19th in the US.
Uhh my guess is that the event will start between 7pm and 11:59pm EST?Originally Posted by spooky
Edit: Beaten by seconds ; ;
VU on 20th JP
Here's hoping they reuse the models for two separate equips, but deep down inside you know this was just a sadistic way of torturing all those BLMs out there...
Nice SE

Can't check POL from work soo may not have facts straight.. Is that BLM hat from the POL site a few days ago the events item and why the heck was it displayed as one of the graphics for "new synthesis" items if it was?
Unless they made a new BLM hat as a synth then used the skin for an events item at the same time. Thats devalued it already.
oh wells
or theyre just recyling pictures for POL, we'll see. they do look the same though.
I'm searching for the right words...
