I deleveled to 74 for like the second? time ever, the first time I was freshly 75 this time I just ate a few too many low raises and home points and just kept forgetting to set to exp on ENMs :\ (I hate meritting on RDM, I'd rather jump off a cliff)

With collibri camp, it can't be "that" bad. I mean, 2h and you are capped again. =/ There is thing far more painful you have to do in FFXI imo D:

[Tiernin]

I got all excited when I saw Merit point section, then just the mode switch......

I need more combat merits >.> 12 is not enough

I hate it, but I'll do it >_> I need merits and I need exp, I prefer a good 20-30k buffer though

I haven't been to the Colibri camp more than 2 to 3 times NOBODY EVER ASKS ME TO MERIT;;;;;;

or if they do we go somewhere else

The next installment will include the appearance of new monsters, the four Mamool Ja overlords, the mysterious Dark Rider, and many other surprises you won't want to miss!

Yay, more about the Dark Rider and Mamool Ja. A battle vs. Strifelord guy, Sagelord dude, Sahagin NM, + Poroggo NM? Although normal battles usually don't mix monster types unless they're pets.

Aphmau as hot as ever.

She's slightly older than me so it's okay for me to think that.

oh ho ho?
If Aphamu is 15 then

IT'S YOU!!!

[Karinastar]

Yay, finally some new missions and it looks like they might finally be kicking the plot advancement into gear. :D

I'm happy about the merit mode thing too, seems every time I get 75 in a new job I've forgotten to change to exp mode so I'm left with a double-digit buffer till I can change. Can only hope that this new feature will be accompanied by some expansion to the merit caps... still a bit before the update so they're hopefully saving the best stuff.

THIS IS THE WORST UPDATE EVER, IT SUCKS AND I PLAN TO QUIT UNLESS THEY ANNOUNCE SOMETHING HUGE.

THIS IS THE BEST UPDATE EVER, SQUARE REALLY HAS A HANDLE ON MY NEEDS AND WANTS. I'LL BE PLAYING THIS GAME FOREVER!

There, can we lock the thread?

12 is never enough.... especially with multiple 75 jobs.
i already complained using that complain link someone posted on BG a while ago.

You forgot the "I THINK THEY WILL RAISE THE LEVEL CAP" comment.

I'm happy about the Cards "pouching".... Now I can free up 1 mule that is stuffed with cards n.n

Guess there's not enough of us Corsairs around to be excited about this news xD I've been burning through cards like crazy since they changed QD to 1 min, I'm glad they're adding pouches although it still won't really cut down on the amount of space it takes to carry a full set of each card.

I went out and bought a couple extra stacks of earth, light, ice, and dark. Then realized, "wow this takes up a lot of space ; ;"

This will really help on avoiding multiple trips to Nashmau :D

[Jiade]

Just a note, it says we can store "Relic-level" armor. That could mean sets like Blessed, Sha'ir, etc. not the actual relic armor.

Don't forget you also get full exp in level capped areas if you are on merits. It's one of those weird updates they did forever I think in hopes of people meriting in level capped areas? Cause CoP was sooooo fun. lol So, you can eeeek out some merits on your way to Bahamut while getting scales a little easier now for those people who keep it on exp mode all the time.

[Tajin]

A new graphic effect will be added that will let surrounding players know when you have gained a merit point.

this is made of 100% japanese, i mean... wtf ... :/

Rest has alread been commented and i agree are nice additions, but this... -_-

This would only be worth it if you healed full hp/mp when you got a merit.

It's not made of japanese. It's made of WOW. On a funny corollary a lot of endgame gear from the BC expansion has haste effects. It amuses me how much these games scavenge off each other.
