Chocobo Raising Changes and Additions (12/07/2006)

[Xavier]

Why yes, I do.

------------------------

They made Vrtra and Jorm obsolete by putting their drops on Ouryu / Bahamut, an NM that lets you fight him whenever you have an orb, not whenever 3-8 days have passed and you randomly have enough people online at spawn to claim.

They made Jorm drops obsolete on day 1 by making them for DRG JSE and a "ridill" staff with the same damage/delay as a level 1 weapon.

They made Vrtra drops triply-obsolete by not only making a desynth for the key ingredient and making it drop from baha2, but also putting the primary stat on an assault body armor.

Every version update for the last year has been announced the same. They do the "Version Update is coming!" announcement, followed by 5 to 7 specific announcements about the things they are adding/improving, followed by the update.

Of those 5-7 specific announcements, there's usually one kinda intriguing thing at the start (adding CoP dynamis, adding equipment storage and chocobo rental in Aht Urghan, adding an instant transport to Tu'Lia from crags), then a bunch of crap that nobody cares about (adding Brenner, updating Fellow system, Fish Ranking, Beseiged Adjustments, updating Chocobo Raising), and the last update before the patch is usually the one that they hope everyone will think is really cool, and usually they're right (adding Diabolos summon, Bahamut fights, adding category 2 merits, hopefully this Salvage thing).

Complaining that the BS filler announcement just has BS filler content is just looking for something to complain about.

Hey, that thing was godly pre-skillup nerf. Imagine that on Hpemdes.

The glory of Hpemdes pre-skillup nerf was you didn't need a multi-hit weapon. Just take a nap and when you wake up and you've got 150 more skill. Also a D4 weapon would mean that even as a mage you'll likely crit for more than 0 and wake up to find yourself dead in sea. If anything, it's useful for skilling up staff now if you didn't get in on the Hpemde thing while you could.

I wont be happy with this update unless Alla flamingo is played when I do the chocobo Hot&Cold game.

Though you could gain 3x the skill in the same nap with a multihit weapon.

I wonder if you could just sub WAR and write a windower macro to spam Defender every time its up, to solve the D:4 problem.

Nah, SJ restrictions are for CoP Dynamis. They said they'd do something new, similar to how they did SJ restrictions.

Perhaps start everyone weakened, and have to hit a ??? to unweaken everyone?

BLU still have problems with level restrictions fucking up their spell list, so thats my bet. Start at level 20 and fight your way through 30, 40, 50, 60, 70 and finally 75.

you set your shit wrong...

I have no problems with setting my spell list in beaucedine, then doing Test Your Mite ENM at 40 cap. SJ shouldnt fuck with your spell list, considering you can change jobs, as long as blu remains your main/sub and your spell list wont get altered. Only time a SJ restriction would mess with your shit is if you're subbing BLU, since it registers you as BLU0.

[Lordender]

heh i get the feeling salvage might end up being something like ultmecia castle was in FF8 where you have to go around and unlock all of your abilites after reaching certain requirements.

Any spells whose points or level are over the max of level of the cap will get wiped from the list when you enter/exit. Equip 45 points of spells, zone into your ENM, zone out and Actinic Burst and Plasma Charge and whatever else you couldn't use inside the ENM will be wiped from your list.

Chocobo Hot & Cold = Best FFXI update thus far. (not sarcasm)

P.S.

I wont be happy with this update unless Alla flamingo is played when I do the chocobo Hot&Cold game.

amen.

now, with the exception of bahamut and ouryu, which we havent done in eons cause evokers are being jewish...
what in FFXI requires you to go from an uncapped area, to a lv capped area, back to a capped area ??

Vammo Alla Flamenco?

Vammo Alla Flamenco?

Yeah, Vamo' Alla Flamenco and I have doubts there will be anything near it considering as far as I know Nobuo Uematsu isn't involved with FFXI... is he? :(

Yeah, I didnt remember the whole song's name Should have checked, I knew I had it wrong.


Well, I supose SE own the right for those song, not Uematsu, but it probably wont happen anyway. And no, he isnt involved at all with FFXI

[Zilong]

winamp on the background should be more than sufficient no?

No it's not. I just want to feel loved by Square, but I think they are only interested in my money.

[spooky]

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. :roll:

YEAH I DO!!! :(
