Assault Ranks - info + future

[Kaslo]

don't the badges have unique names with 1st letter of each word of the title ie SL Wildcat Badge, C Wildcat badge (corporal),

so since we already have Corporal would we see another title besides Captain that would be used?

more likely that we'd get a CPT Wildcat Badge.

Just saying that it doesn't follow the pattern at all ya know?

Am I the only who thinks all five Assault areas were once big zones, and SE just cut them to pieces?

since when do translations have to?

[Sagacious Sundi]

Maybe MC for Merc. Captain?

[Lyramion]

I always tought they would make the last 5 Assault Missions ArkAngle style - each vs one of the Serpent Generals! that be awesome indeed.

[Khamsin]

What do the generals have to do with the assault areas? e.g. I don't see the connection between Skyserpent Rughadjeen and the Trolls in Halvung.

BLU AF1 has you get a "brand" or something from each staging point, and each brand corresponds to a certain serpent. Or something like that.

I'd like to see 18-man Assaults at higher ranks, and I'd like to see them bring Nyzul Isle into the normal Assault fold - or find some way to translate tokens to AP.

[VZX]

i think the next patch will have Rank up to 1st Lieutenant, 5 more Assaults, Rank up to Capitan and it ends.

This is the winning answer right here.

Did someone look in the dats and find only 10 "slots" for Assault missions at each staging point?

From 2nd lieutenant rank promotion quest, it seems that there are more than 1 rank up in the future

They are each one huge instanced zone with 10 maps inside each.

Made a list of the unused map so far, might be wrong

Periquia
6 map used/10
-Segull grounded/snake eye repeat same map
-Saving Private Ryaaf /Building Bridges /Wake the Puppet use the same map (building bridge actually uses 2 map)
-Shooting down the baron/Stop the bloodshed use the same map as well
Lot of reused map, but one ToA mission use a new one

Blitzkrieg/Azure ailment are using the same map, so 8/10 are used so far



While it's true there is some case of reused/unused map in periquia, every other area used 9/10 maps, leaving one for the final assault rank. I don't know if map were originally connected, but periquia is the only instance of 2 map sharing a direct conncetion with each other. It's not impossible a few of them were originally bigger map, but in most case they look unique enough and not connected to anything.

[LinktheDeme]

I know quite a few mamool ja ones are connected, you can prove this if you taj past certain doors that are locked and untargetable.

Naja has insane amounts of plot armor, your Ridil does nothing to her.

Plot is no match for the 2 to 3 times smacky goodness that is Ridill.

I didn't really think it would be a "smack", moreso a slice persay (however that would...sound...?)

She heals HP from slashing damage I bet.

I <3 her sooooo much.

This is the Sagelord Elimination map.

[Kaylia]

You're right, dunno how I missed it.
http://www.ffxi-atlas.com/maps/mamool-j ... s/general/

Is it unused one?

[divisortheory]

No, that's marids in the mist The other ones that you said are unused also might be SL or CS. I haven't really done many of them to be able to recognize.

[Kaylia]

Havent done marid in the mist either. One of the 3 assault I'm still missing


Just realized Azure ailment and Blitzkrieg used the same map. Would leave those 2 map unused. One for last rank, and maybe another for something else.

[Kaylia]
