New Assault Missions and Mercenary Rank (08/07/2007)

[huckster]

Maybe last assaults (and "bosses" like Vampyr and Hydra) will drop items needed for Nyzul Isle weapons upgrade?

[TT]

wonder if theyll make more perdu weapons or have new shit.

That would be odd, because you only need to be PSC to do Nyzul assaults, but who knows. It's SE we're talking about here.

Tasty, as usual. As noted, Count Dracula showing up makes things amusing.

Perhaps all 5 assaults will be "boss" based if this is any indication. Cerberus, Hydra, Khamaira, Vampyr, and a Dyric or whatever they were called?

Kind of a neat idea but really the whole novelty of killing kings in nyzul wore off relatively fast. It'd be nice if they thought about adding some of Cerb's and Kham's drops to ??? items at a very low rate but to warrant that they'd have to make the assaults fairly tough.

Be careful what you wish for. If you throw Khimera's drops into Assault, then nobody would camp Khimera.

If nobody camps Khimera, where oh where would beastmasters be able to get their JSE from!?

Can't forget about Hydra, I want my fking DRG JSE

Damn I completely forgot how insensitive of me...

0/40+ Divisor ring
0/20+ Omicron ring
2/60+ (didnt win lots on either) Homam Feet for ninjar.

Something tells me I might just finally give in and start listening to Linkin Park after this update if they don't fix rates.

That a lot of Omega.

In regards to a Assault appraisal piece that is similiar to stats of Homam Feet (Considering NIN can't wear actual Homam Feet).

[Cookiemonster]

I don't think there's really anything wrong with using the name Count Dracula, most of the names they use are taken from one place or another, they just usually use names from mythology and stuff that the average person hasn't heard of. Anyway, the book Count Dracula was written in 1897 and it's 2007, 110 years ago is not that bad.

Now if they add some fire breathing Teletubbies it might be more of an issue.

[Toth]

Good stuff! Assaults continue to be fun and unique experiences. And lol@the name. Hey, at least its not Count Chocula lol

Well, if the update is three weeks away, then that's time for 4 more update notes. Job Adjustments (please for PUP!), The Pit, Chocobo Circuit and....something else await hopefully.

If they just give us two new attachments and make them drop from new assaults I'll /wrists.

[Conrad]

And wtf @ Count Dracula? SE really getting that lazy with NM Names?

Well, SE does tend to name NMs after various mythical and religious things, and I doubt there are a whole lot of examples of vampires with specific names (that aren't from the past 50 years anyway).

Spike NM go go go!

Count Chocula!

Yeah, obviously I was the only one that missed your sarcasm.

1/1 on psi ring! gogo 5dex

They seriously need to up the drop rate of those thing. It's not like 10% drop rate would break the economy

I'm 0/30 or something along those lines on Divisor Ring, it's depressing. :( Heck, we're like 10/30 on the ??? ring itself lol.

Regarding the new assaults: fighting fun stuff like Hydra without having to pledge your allegiance to a paramilitary organiz...er to a HNMLS and/or dealing with the lamps awfully coded nerves-jangling nonsense is pure win. Let's hope they'll release more free r/ex Perdu-like stuff too, that'd be the icing on the cake.

Hmmm, they didn't mention quests (besides LB adjustments) in that last update note. Maybe the next Serpent General quests are epic enough for their own announcement? Maybe the AN-type quest will be added in this update (I doubt it)? New Ashu Talif assault quests? Avatar quest? (I doubt that too.) Maybe even new ISNMs (doubtful, but I came up with 21 ISNMs in a matter of minutes, 19 of which have SE's little puns).

Also, anyone else think that these are ToA's answer to KS99s/Ouryu/Bahamut II? It seems Assault is basically ToAU's BC/ENM (they seem to consider BCNMs and ISNMs part of the same category).

[Kaylia]

Might be the last assault but not last rank. Wouldnt be surprising if you are awarded a final rank after completing this tier.

A 6 men merits party can fight and kill hydra (that is usually up). War war nin brd rdm whm. Adding more healer help, but you don't really need an hnmls for it.
