Several new quests, including a story that centers on Aht Urhgan's Serpent Generals, are planned for the upcoming version update.

Delicious Mihli.

[shinobi_tabi]

it must be misscommunication
SE thought you guys meant you couldn't get to sky fast because gs were "cock-blocking" you. So they fixed it with a OP-type thing there <.<

[Lordender]

gonna have to wait until i can make a judgement on the update till they explain "salvage" how it works and all that jazz.

[Ryko]

Yeah that is gonna be the big if about the update <_>

[DrObvious]

The possibility of being able to Tele-Mea, run a quarter way around the crag, zone, use a machine, and be in sky (hopefully on the green telepads)? Fucking Win.

Does it seriously take people 30 mins to get to sky?

Trade silverpiece to whitegate taru and warp to starting nation > op to zitah > run to Romaeve > run to hall of gods > sky.

Now it will be: find a whm > run to crag > ??? > sky.

I never said it took 30 minutes, that was another person. It is at least 10, though, and that is already entirely too long. I follow that exact outline you laid out there, and it's a pain in the ass, especially compared to going to sea.

Maybe it's Aht Urhgan dynamis-ish zones that drop PUP/COR/BLU AF2 only? Was trying to think of the worst possible way for SE to add that shit >__>

[Ishido]

Salvage is really the only big thing in this update. Everything else, like Ryko said, is small. They are good, convenient, nice, and will be appreciated, but small none-the-less.

I'm tempted to say the game mechanic changes could be big, but because they were barely touched upon gives a hint that they will be fairly minor, unless a further update note says otherwise.

I know I won't be disappointed by this update, it already has more than fishing ranking, etc. Start speculating about Salvage, I need hopes that can be crushed.

its not the size of the boat that counts, its the motion in the ocean...

They should add 2 more assault that no one cares about but an handful of people. (there is about 10 NA on ifrit on level 7 >_>).

I'm sure there will be more than that tho. I hope so.

but as my last girlfriend told me, its real hard to get across the atlantic in a rowboat...

go 10 more space I guess.

OP's cost $ (lol) going with an LS whm/ or /whm on the way to sky = free, no choco fee or OP fee.

[cassiraa]

EDIT:Someone used the joke while I was typing it. So I'll give my thoughts on the update instead.



Hopefully Salvage will resemble Limbus more than Dynamis, but I think it's pretty ovbious you're going to "salvage" old goods the same way relic drops.

the rest of it looks like they're just touchups. Warping to sky is decent but not really a monumental occasion. I'd say using a choco in Ule would outclass taking 5 minutes less to get to sky than Li'Telor Op.

Unless there's new quests with dramatic equip [i.e. Wally Turban] or new types of XP camps in the areas, this will just roll off the shoulders as a nice addition.

Better for them to add just a few things, than to disrupt the old with some adjustments.


Who knows, maybe PUP AFv2 is the endgame push they've been hoping for, or maybe AFv2 Capes for the jobs that have belts in DynaCoP and vice versa.

Meh, I'd be more worried about the fact that my girlfriend is so loose she compares herself to the atlantic ocean.

[BRP]

Despite what people think, there are more people between lvl 10 to 70 than there is 71 to 75.

[DrObvious]

err, sorry, double.

[Kaylia]

Atm on ifrit


/sea all 10 70 = 1080
/sea all 70-75 = 880

It's safe to assume a good chunk of those 10-70 are leveling subjob, or a 2nd job. No clue how it is during NA prime time, but there is more people doing endgame than people doing 10-70

I realize that it was another person, just saw that timeframe listed by at least 2 people while reading the thread. I agree that faster is better but people are having an orgasm over pretty irrelevant changes that have been announced so far.

Sea is a bit different since I can teleport myself on any job and run to safehold to change my sub, but I have to find a whm to mea me to go to sky unless I want to carry around teleport rings.

Even if you're hung like a hampster, your ex-girlfriend has a gigantic vagina.

[Not Kuno]

I used to laugh when I would see bikwin with his excal but like no sky loot because "they didnt do sky" in favor of ground, but at least back then it was still a viable option.

Are we talking about the same Bikwin?
