Thread on 11/20 notice is up, so are we locking the vagina drippings from Flux in here and moving on?

[Toth]

When are we expecting to hear update information for December?

Last year:

Dec. 13, 2005 (JST) Update Details
Oct. 11, 2005 (JST) Update Details

Going by this (and 2004), the update is just a month away. Maybe after Thanksgiving we can start hearing what is planned?

One thing I have noticed, when people ask "When are we going to see the new update info", it generally shows up the next week. I think it is some sort of unconscious timing mechanism in the human brain.

You won!

I'm really hoping at the very LEAST, they'll introduce AF+1 for the new jobs. All you have to do is add a few more items to some random Limbus zones. Could tie in well with the fact Sagheera works with the Far East too. >_>;

If they were to make Relic through Dynamis, then they'd have to make relic weapons, totally alter Dynamis mobs, and that would sorta mess up the whole original FFXI/RoTZ Dynamis story.

If Relic is quested like AF however, maybe a little tougher and have some items being R/Ex and dropped from NMs before taking them to the NPC crafter, then I'm gonna be one happy panda.

If it's through new Dynamis-ToAU, I'm gonna start snapping necks. :3

Maybe there will be some place where you can rummage around and salvage old PUP, COR, and BLU clothing from some remnants of past civilizations.

[Viktor Vaughn]

Ya and have the rest of the jobs piss and moan that they had to wait 3 years for their drop since drop rate is terrible in northlands. No thanks.

You can fit PUP, COR, and BLU af2 into dynamis zones without ruining the storyline.

Some BS about how a small group from the Near East went to blah blah blah blah.

Problem solved. Plot holes in MMO's are A O K.

[Tamashii]

whatever happens, i'd very much like to see some more alexander. i find the storyline interesting - even if the combat has been dumbed down.

and the the rest of the jobs will piss and moan that there is more unwanted useless stuff getting in the way of the stuff they actually go there for so it will take them another 3 years to get what they need as PUP hands or something will become the new BST stuff that gets tossed.

yes the new jobs should get AF2 but keep it out of current dynamis prs!

[Ryko]

Fuck monster gloves

[Elesar]

Monster gloves are usefull.

[Lithiani]

Do you know, Monster Gloves is actually the highest bidded Xarcabard AF2 my DLS has ever had. Went for more than the BLM Hats.

And we've only ever had one drop, obviously, given that we actually need them.

Meanwhile we've had Assassins Armlets go to people who can't even equip them yet, so common are they. Same for SAM Kabuto.

[Vobent]

Because the kabuto is so great?

[Lithiani]

It has Latent Effect: Not having to claw my own eyes out at the sight of an O Hat.

So yes, it is so great, thanks for asking :D

No plotholes necessary, if you read monster bios on the ToaU page, you'll see that Imps were used by the shadow lord during the great war to spy on people.

A dynamis including cor/pup/blu could easily involve the expedition of those 3 jobs coming from the east, going to the great war, but obviously something going wrong and them not making it alive to the destined areas.

[Swatt]

main thing i see is that SE doesn't want to mix the new jobs with the old worlds. which is why you don't see orc yagudo or quadav type cors blus lolpups.

even maat refuses to fight them.

if AF2 or AF1+1 drops, its going to be in some new toau zone. or dynamis toau hur hur.

[Falaras]

Ohat > Saot in looks by so much.
