Update details (12/18/06)

[Helpoemer]

dual wield kraken club + manta club!

HOLY FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK KKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

lol, if they really made a rare/ex version with a different name, they'd probably make the Rare/Ex version say "Cannot be used with Kraken Club".

or... "Can only be equipped in the Main Weapon slot."

or just make the thing a great axe or staff or something else

-krakenclub = gilsellers twiddling thier thumbs or finding something else to do

While its nice they are doing something about this, there is another NM that is a bigger concern.

It starts with Ulli and it ends with Ulli, its UlliUlliUlli. And why are they just picking out this one NM? There are tons of NM's and their drops that need to be changed.

[Isiolia]

Maybe they'll swap Mercurial Pole and Kraken Club >_>

[Gatsby]

Assume LoO now drops R/E Kraken..

Is it now more effective to go DRK/NIN and dual wield Kraken and R/E Kraken for DRK blitz?

[Kilik]

Maybe they'll swap Mercurial Pole and Kraken Club >_>

that would actually be pretty cool.. since wyrm repop timer is long and it could have same drop rate as gaiters

[tyraravenlocke]

Thing about the Kraken club change that is really amusing is, where the hell did they get the idea that this needed to be done?

I mean don't get me wrong, if my club shoots back up over 200M again, its sold in a heartbeat. Just, where the hell do they get some of this stuff.

[Janice]

Oh yeah, it doesn't say new NM's have been added unless 'changes in mob behavior' means NMs were added. It could since they said they changed behavior in undersea ruins even though no mobs down there.

[Credos]

Due to the extreme popularity of the kraken club and trouble arising as a result of a large number of players attempting to acquire the item, the monster that previously dropped the club (Lord of Onzozo) will do so no longer. A new method of obtaining the item is currently under consideration and will be implemented shortly. There are no plans on changing the drop rate of the item in question. However, the development team would like to grant players more opportunities to obtain it.

LoO will still drop Kraken.

Or mayber there was always mobs down there, just we couldn't get access down there...


To think like SE, think assbackwards :D

If you did a poll on what was the coolest NM drop on ZAM!, what do you think would win? There is your answer.

More than likely it will shoot down to 10M.

From their official community sites such as Alla?

[Isiolia]

Given the way they worded the note, maybe LoO causes GMs more headaches than Ulli.

Or maybe it's a test case.

LoO will still drop Kraken.

You took the time to copy paste quote and bold, but did you take the time to read it?

[ringthree]

Salvage better be good or nothing special in this update, lol.

Except of course for the larger mog locker, limit points in Besieged, Kraken Club update, teleporting to sky, and new items (which the jury is still out on).

Yes yes I read it when you posted it before.

Larger mog locker - mine's not full. Limit points in beseiged - I make more soloing on blm, actually, on either of my jobs, by the time beseiged is over. Teleport to a place I never use, and new items (now that I am looking forward to).

Don't kid yourself, it's not a mega update unless Salvage is made of orgasms and they ninja edit AV for the 7th time to make him actually killable.

Aww, I am sorry that SE didn't tailor the update to your needs... not saying that its all that great, but just because you don't like Beseiged or you don't like a bigger mog locker doesn't make the update bad or good. You may not like chocolate ice cream, but that doesn't mean the people that make chocolate ice cream are "made out of phail."

Its just looks like its a small update, which makes me wonder about it. I haven't seen an update this small in a long time, usually that means their is another update relatively quickly or the next update is really big. We will see.

Says clear as day that it won't at least for the time being.

if they move it to a BC I would put money down it will be BCNM60: Up in Arms in Waghroun. It drops complete shit as it is

[divisortheory]

If it follows the pattern of other items moved to BCs, it'll be a BC with a Kraken mob. Are there any currently?

Up in Arms >_> I'm guessing its not implemented atm because thats just too low of a rank of BC for such a rare item so they're exploring other possibilities.
