August Update

[Rocl]

I'm counting on a BG holmes, but i'm almost certain that during one interview (1up iirc) they said there will be a end game area similar to sea or sky.

ToAU is mostly low level solo cotent

[Charismatic]

I'm telling you, to make the people that still think we're going to endgame area from ToAU shut up, they should add something where you pop NMs in tiers (with the first pop items coming from Assault/Salvage?) in Alzadaal, and you can only do it after you're past a certain AU mission and a certain merc. rank. It's also like Garrison/EF in that only others with the same qualifications can participate, and people outside of the party can't help. (At least, I think the 2 are like that.)

Honestly, I am a bit disappointed that they aren't going to have an area only accessible by people who have beat all of the missions. It's depressing that there are no mission requirements to have access to Nyzul Isle or Einherjar considering that these missions are not very hard.

Hopefully they will have a reward for people who complete the missions and have the highest mercinary rank, like special assaults that give tons of points.

Then everyone without an assault static that isn't at max rank already will pretty much be fucked forever.

It's not hard to rank up. This would give people an incentive to do so.

It would be if there everyone was doing those special assaults that gave lots of points. Sure, for the 1st few months people would be able to rank up just fine probably, but once a new player or character tries to rank up, they will be pretty much screwed because no one other than their best friends will have any incentive to help them, since they'd get so much less for doing it.

Assuming their friends don't have assault statics (like most people I know). I know that there's not a fuckton of new players, but I'm pretty sure SE doesn't want to fuck over whatever percentage of new players there are.

[Seraphise]

Why do you listen to what they say in interviews? It's pretty clear it have very little relationship to what actually happens.

I don't listen to things like job updates, or unreachable goals. But them saying they will release one area with the completion of ToAU, its not to unlikely being as they said this quite a few months ago.

And the evidence for the other side that says there won't is "this is SE"

SE has released end game areas for all of there expansion packs.

It's a good thing he doesn't know anything most of the time.

one weird thing about Raz being the final boss is that he doesnt even have his own face and haircut. every main NPC (ally or boss) is unique and i still can't get why Raz isnt, considering the role he plays in the whole toau story. would be kinda dissapointing having him as the final mission opponent...

Seconded, he's SO deafult it makes me yawn when he appears.

I'm expecting him to become a monster, much like a Soulflayer

spoilers for those who aren't mission inclined
cause you know he's got blue blood in him and what not

[evilpaul]

Is there a JP midnight wait after the mission 35 BCNM? (My solo attempt using zombie tactics didn't work terribly well, so I'll probably need to recruit some help. )

Is there a whole zone behind the gates in the citizen's part of Aht Urghan already? Access to a Mog House, AH, etc in there would be nice as it would lighten up congestion in Whitegate a bit until WoG has its new area. It wouldn't be a new endgame area like sky/sea, but that would be decent addition I think.

There's plenty of endgame content in ToAU already really anyway. It's just instanced, so the RMT (and other "more dedicated" players) can't monopolize shit 24/7.

That is... Until he takes off his mask and wig and it turns out he's actually Aphmau's twin sister!

Requesting hentai of this in advance.

The thread has become so derailed, no one cares abouy the tp burn nerf speculation? I saw it in a Dream:

All Greater Colibri learn Wisecrack.

All Imps have AoE damage added to their tantara attacks, like Zikko.

All Mobs get +2k hp.


Sound about right for a made up speculation nerf?


I need to get on my assaults, I've been offline these past 6 months ~_~;

[evilpaul]

I wouldn't really care. I'd like a second Pudding camp though, the first one gets pretty packed sometimes.

[Not Kuno]

IMO Xp camps in ToAU are lame. I liked how CoP released Xp camps.

First there was Lufaise. Then they released Al'Taieu which was also good for xp. Then they released the grand palace which was good to xp in too. Then they released the garden which had the manaburn camps but it's still good to xp on the aerns if you roam.


ToAU has one blm camp that was released at the start and is super overcrowded. Yay.

[Jkun]

I'd like to invite a BLM or two into a meripo with melee like the good old days.

Taking the mob to 50%, THF running away to pull another mob, melee SCing, then watching the BLM finish it off was the way to go. I miss it.

Recently I've been inviting RDMs and BLMs to my Mamook parties along with me on DRK and MNK friend, Darkness SCs and Freeze 2 fucks them up so bad, and nobody ever exps in Mamook. S'great ;o

qutrub aren't bad either, although with the amount of extra damage they take from SC's I don't know if you really need a blackmage there for them..

in MountZ, i've seen the 1 pudding camp everyone knows of, and 4 wamoura camps

puddings = chain5
princes = chain3

maybe i just suck (sometimes get chain4 on princes, but thats probably lucky conserve mp activations)

[Rocl]

I fucking hate wamouracampa on BLM, i'm sorry. I much rather go to see and do sharks or euvhi than that shit. Fuck those fuckers.
