You obviously dont own that.

Holy goddamn this update is nose-diving fast into a pit of no one cares. There had better be some more GOOD update notes soon.

Lemme guess, you want BLM updates?! As if AM2 didn't break BLMs enough.

SE:
In the next version update BLM's will have access to the spell Death, like White Mages have access to the spell Raise. This spell will work on all mobs except undead. Also, Raise will be modified to instantly kill any undead mob.

As much as I hate to say it, I gotta agree with the pessimists. The news about the update started very nice with the NPC stuff, faster sky trip, Mog Locker expansion and Salvage. Got better with the Job adjustments and then started getting stupid -.- Of course, this one isnt as bad as the recent Empire's Most Wanted notice, but it still doesnt live up for the previous news that got us all excited -.-

EDIT: Yah I raised my chocobo up to a bit above average speed then havent checked it in forever, I just abuse the Whistle. And it's yellow, I'll probably retire it and try to mate my friends' red chocobos since I got their cards ;(

What happens with the updates is that they're usually put up between 5 p.m. and 11 p.m. JP time, after the workday when everyone else has gone home. These last couple updates are clearly the work of a disgruntled SE employee asked to stay late and prep the update material.

[Credos]

They need to stop focusing on this stupid pokemon yugi-o bullshit. If they put the same effort into Chocobos as they did into endgame, I would like to think there would be such a smaller amount of bitching.

[Not Kuno]

This update isn't looking too good. With this coming out, and we're guarenteed a Christmas event update soon also. We don't have that many days left for good stuff.

Its like se is reading these boards and willingly not posting the information most people are curious about.

-Are there any job modifications planned?
-Salvage?
-Nyzul Isle?
-End-game or Toau storyline?

Chocobo Raising gets so much attention throughout these updates and theres no love for npcs anymore.

Of course not. This is an expansion update mainly- and you can't even summon NPC's in Al Zahbi. Yet. Did you actually see the incredibly obvious job adjustments post a few days back? Or the Salvage announcement?

Stop pissing in a bottle & shitting in a sock while F5'ing Bluegartr forums. We'll get extra details with the actual update, and odds are we're less than two weeks from that.

And yes, I think S-E does it specifically to torment people like you. Cause they're cruel bastards and all that.

They have released update information before an announced patch in multiple more interesting update bulletins.
Just wondering why they're remaining tight lipped about Salvage for instance.

Almost makes you wonder if they're
keeping themselves safe by not getting peoples hopes up before patchday in case they don't implement salvage yet.

If you compare last decembers updates the update should fall around 12 dec. And another starlight celebration update after it just feels as if there isn't much new stuff for us this christmas.

Haven't gone to see my chocobo for like 3 months. It'll be a 5 hour fucking cutscene if I ever go back to the stables.

I'm sure your chocobo has long since run away from you. I know I would've.

[othellojr]

Wow, how fucking lame....all this pictographs/chocographs or w/e shit they are talking about... FF9 anyone? Admittedly it was a fun sidegame in ff9, but to try to implement something alike for ff11 is kinda of a shitty update. Oh well, FFXI saw its best days in the past, anything new is just to distract players of its problems, suppose the community and friends we all have made over the years is what keeps alot of us online anyways.

[JoOeetheplatypuS]

Wow you are all whiny bitches. I for one dont mind if they add fun new minigames.

I don't partake in too much endgame or king camps and still think the update sucks ┐('～`；)┌

[Reynard]

the thing about choco raising is that getting to my home city every day is just too much a PITA to want to do. I don't want to spend a silver piece and run across windy just to have it be bored and hate me and then epect to be fed expensive crap that has no apparent effect. Whens its sick, I just ignore it and it gets better. I can call mine in the field which was all I really wanted to do this for, and making it slightly faster would be nice, but not game changing or worth the energy, and something tells me the mental skills just make it dig up more insect wings. Being able to ignore it so thoroughly as I have and still get it rideable makes me wonder why I should spend so much time with the damn thing at all...

If i could check on it from the Al Zahbi stables, and get a colored one easier...I'd probably try a liitle harder. But yeah, I'm over choco raising and I wish they'd just stop trying so hard. What I really want to know is....will we be able to go from city to city quickly via the Choco Circuit? Sure looks like it according to these maps, but I'm sure that would be too convenient. A faster way to Bastok is about the only thing that could make me want to participate:

How about we whine after the update. All this whining about a new thing being added that doesnt mess anything up and doesn't screw anything over is a bad thing because its not exactly what we wanted? Give me a fucking break guys.

You're whining about whiners though.

Anyway, nothing wrong with discussion on what the update is giving us, or not giving us. Speculation is fun, you're being a party pooper in our pool of pessimism, shoo!


Night night! I expect more whining about whining when I wake up.

No, it's because it sucks, and the last news update sucked too, and we're closing in on patch day. We want them to fix shit, not keep adding stuff no one cares about.

[TsingTao]

Eh, you don't have to wait until after the update to whine about Chocobo raising. Retarded.

Ryko: Hey baby, let's get it on.
SoulSister: Oh yeah, do me baby!
*Porn Jazz*
/wait 9 months
Ryko: WTF! Why is it white?!?!?

When it's possible to control what color chocobo you breed I might start giving a crap. Maybe.

[Xavier]

Blame Diablos for shitty updates. He's certainely wrecked plenty of players dreams in FFXI.
