Wow that new mithra armor is... O.O
Hope I can equip it. XD

[SephYuyX]

Mithra dance and that new armor is nice, mithra dance is the best btw :Q Galka's is pretty funny. But the 'new faces'? look dumb.

Scholar will be all sorts of epic.

[Enpsi]

Go go SE powers of recolor! (Anyone found unique armor yet? not just recolors? )
lol at those Corsair boots (Err ) cough cough (Er) Santa boots /wink /wink

Those new NPC faces are very ""Ewwww"

[Kyreth]

bunch of texture files that suggests that there are new crafting halls, which is odd since there is no ah...
blacksmith, goldsmith, bonecraft = bastok,
cloth, cooking, leather = windy,
wood, alch, fishing = sandy is what id guess from the decor

I'd refer people to Elmer's translations of the 3 nation timelines- as Windurst did indeed have a Leathercrafting guild at one point in it's past.

Edit: Bingo!

867 – A peace treaty is signed with the Yagudo Theocracy.

- The Leathercrafting guild shuts down.

868 – The Federation’s monetary unit, the Mumu, is abandoned in favor of Jeuno’s currency, Gil. {The Currency Union}

- As a result of celebrations for peace across the continents, there is an unprecedented “Gourmet Boom.”


870 – To facilitate the work of the various chefs that have gathered from around the globe, a Cooking guild is established.

Interesting- I hadn't even thought about that kind of change happening, but if it's 20 years ago, Sarutabaruta is going to be a LOT greener since the crawler infestation hasn't devoured so much of the greenery. Maybe dhamels and such near town.

Chances of equipment swap ruining every dancers dreams like Bard Songs and any casters properties?

I expect these dances to be popular for a week before it's a regular blink fest.

Scholar Animations

Includes what looks like White Grimoire, Black Grimoire, and weather changing effects. There's also 4 spells that are labelled as spring, summer, autumn, and winter in the dats... Not entirely sure that these are scholar, but I threw them in here anyway. Can't really think of what the use of these spells would be o_O Perhaps they could enhance 2 weather effects at once? Not too sure.

I may just be pointing out the obvious here, but does anyone else find it odd that the "seasonal" spells use the Blue Magic hand animation? First thing that came to my mind was that they might add a unique animation for the scholar specific spells, and the BLU one was just used as filler for now? Or maybe the associations got crossed in AltanaView and they already have added it to the DATs?

Also, I can't wait to make it dark weather on a diva WHM so his cures are even more fail than he is.

PS I find few things in life more enjoyable right now than the Galka tap dance. :D

[Toth]

Hmmm Three new sets so far. Perhaps they are like the 4 initial ToAU sets that are purchasable with points for completing each nation's assault-like missions?

Blink fest seems most likely, I really hope not though. Probably going to be something like TP Gear -> Dance Gear for dances, depending on the AF. ;/

[Therin]

I am supremely disappointed with the current armor findings. I really hope there will be more.

The Hauby-looking stuff is just too flamboyant to look cool. It looks more like you're wearing a San d'Orian flag than armor. The plate-stuff that the Hume is wearing is just way too freakin' close to what we already have and the hybrid-Heca-Dusk-Bondage stuff that the Mithra has is so close to Heca/Dusk that it's just boring.

[Toth]

Not to mention that the new mage gear is yet ANOTHER recoloring of errant gear/ BLM af/basic robe gear...

[VZX]

Can anyone upload the video to Stage6 please? >.<
anything with "watch" in URL is blocked here

Thanks In Advance,

WTf? Taru-Al-Kaida???

Cait Sith in a taru disguise?!!

beaten....

OMG Cait Sith?!?!

Yeah, that mage gear is so shitty that I forgot to mention it.

[Pergo]

the gear from the last few sets have been really disappointing (new abjurations), this stuff.... the red armor looks like the hydra hauberk, the black armor looks like drk jse, the mage gear looks like the same as the einherjar mage abj...

if i'm reading everything correctly, this was the last update before wotg goes live? so does that mean there's no more updates until after the expansion... all the dats seem too spaced out and broken to be complete.

[Volken]

Step 1: find new gear stats when expansion is released.

Step 2: be horribly disappointed.

Step 3: collect more hard to get Whitegate only gears.

Step 4: return to Aery.

Step 5: wait for next patch/expansion.

It was SE's intent, and a good move on thier part to update the game in broken parts. Remember the ToAU update? Gawd knows no one wants to go through that update hell again, lol.

One more update next Monday and then whatever data is in the expansion disc.

I was really looking forward to this patch, since the one last week was so dull. I figured hey, they've got to add the weapons and armor this time. No.

About a few things:
--First of all, there was no changing of the existing .dats. At all. No files were changed/resized/updated with a time stamp. So a lot of what's below might be redundant to this fact. If there are .dats waiting in the new folders just to be switched in to the old ones, I don't know what they'd be since there aren't any things that look like copies of the existing major stuff.
--I didn't see any new npc dialog lines. Anywhere.
--No new mobs/items in the existing zones, so they haven't added those time-transfer things into the .dats yet, since they'd have an entry.
--There were a few fancy-NPC-looking people (like, people for missions perhaps) in the .dats. I have no idea how to dig them up.
--The new guild location things seem right, as there was a new sign for every guild. The style seems to match when we've seen of the look/feel of the cities in the past (well, Bastok at least)
--No new weapons or armor actually added to the .dat lists.
--One new map image: It's the conquest map. Again. Only I assume this time it'll be used as the campaign map.

I might theorize that those new armors (besides the santa feet) are NPC use. Like, doesn't that one set look like generic npc soldier armor from some of the movies?
wtf @ the black mummy taru?

I agree, they kinda look like they might be "commander" NPC armor for Campaign, or similar. Just like there's a few armor pieces in the ToAU DATs that are built on player models so any model can use them, but are only used on ToAU NPCs in Besieged.
