It's coming: Update 12/18/2006

[FFXIFlux]

If you go into every patch expecting the game to see radical changes, you're setting yourself up for failure.

This is THE patch though. Salvage is the endgame element of this ridiculous expansion. It could be the 8 hours/week of entertainment that dynamis was and that assault, chocobo raising and camping cerberus wasn't. For a lot of people this patch IS the release of ToAU.

[Khamsin]

Why are people so excited for the sky teleport? Silverpiece >> Home Town >> OP Zi'Tah >> Sky takes about 6 minutes. Assuming it's from a crag or some other reasonably accessable area, I can't imagine the time difference being anything worthwhile. I don't think Id eat green eggs and ham for the sky teleport, let alone kill a treant with an extra "0" accidentally in its HP.

Because with a port from the crags, it'll be Tele-Holla >> Sky and take about 30 seconds. 5 and a half minutes is a significant time savings.

They'll probably spice it up by adding a 50% chance of something going wrong during teleportation from the craigs to sky, and you'll end up at the ebon panels, which, if you press at the exact moment AV pops, locks all of his abilities, during full moon windsday of course.

...yes - Salvage. And if it's not Salvage, then on patch day you'll see a little * at the bottom of the update notes saying "It was previously stated that Salvage would be introduced in this update. This is now scheduled to be implemented at a later dat. Thanks for the $12.95, suckas."

Everyone said that when sea HNM released. Then we found out how to get Ninurta's Sash.

Moral of the story: Japanese people r dum.

They already announced Salvage. They're not going to announce it again.

They could go into more detail about it, if it is Assault based, how you win it, how you get rewards, etc.

In the past, that level of detail has always been posted during the maintenance.

I just get tired of people acting like SE hasn't even announced Salvage as a part of the update yet, when its one of the first things they did.

Who said they didn't announce it?

[Lordender]

if they don't do another annoucement on something maybe they ninja add the last thing >.>

I was holding my breath for type 2 merits for the new jobs, but I think I might as well breathe now;;

Oh well, 2 more months to get the current merit options capped up, and I will have to go from there. ( I am loving my invite rate lately, and I guess if they add the type 2 merits, and an uncapping of the normal merits all at once, parties will be even easier to come by).

[Sonomaa]

every time I exp off colibris and their exploding experience point and feather bodys, I enjoy this expansion just a little more

[Machazareel]

Not impressed thus far. Oh well, at least the latest WoW patch was awesome.

Looking forward to TBC now tbh (*'3')

*plays more SCO*

If nothing else, ToAU can be said to be the expansion that eased the exp grind. Whether you fight for a camp in the Sanctioned areas or just plow through the now-much-quieter older areas for it, it's easier to exp or merit, period.

(Also, see Assaults, Besieged for that little extra bit of sugar.)

Assaults are nice, but I kind of wish they'd add more items to be purchased with points. Not a bad moneymaker, I guess, but it would still be nice to spend those points on gear you'd want to use, and I think most people got all that months after the expansion released.
