Development Team Q&A - May 2008

[Purrrfect]

But what about getting Ronfaure/Gustaberg/Sarutabaruta OP points?

[Veli]

AV can be defeated... Salvage>Kings... Whats the problem?

[Gerkin]

about AV , Its all in the video made me lol

People don't believe that AV can be defeated or are just claiming to be too stupid/lack the persistence to figure out.

Kings is an endgame tradition, it's not going to ever be supplanted.

Damn I must have missed the day when all the Velitards defeated AV. How did you do it?

[Ramses]

I just hope that the outpost thing is retroactive; if it wasn't in place before and outpost data was just erased when I swapped nations because it wasn't going to be needed, it could be a disappointment if I decide to go back to Windurst or Bastok after this update to the system. ._.

Bingo. I am already rank 10 in all 3 nations and still haven't recovered the two outposts from gusta and saruta that I lost. Unfortunately it doesn't sound like it will be retroactive since it will be saved when you switch. Since I did all the switching before this, I doubt I will get those OPs back.

Thank god for increased Northlands drop rates. I enjoy Dynamis to an extent (though I love CoP zones unconditionally aside from the monetary loss incurred!), but I am currently 4/5 on my RDM relic gear (missing hat) and would like to finish it just to be able to say "I'm done." I'd still keep doing Dynamis because I like seeing people get gear they want and because I like the random stuff that can happen that results in hilarious wipes, but yeah, let me have my sense of completion please.

[Starr]

Thanks for trying but fuck SE, evasive as ever.

Whatever happened to that special item they were implementing to weaken AV?

They nixed it when releasing the video, stating the sooper seekret techniques they showed us would work fine.

Yeah pretty much lol all across the board. Typical cryptic SE response.

Nah, they said they would release the video and possibly an item to enfeeble AV. That item may still come yet, but i wouldn't expect it for awhile. But I don't think they are really hiding much about AV, they are saying we are supposed to beat him as is. When they say it is all in the video they are including things we already know like how to kill regen and lolbaraera. There is one thing and one thing only that we don't quite get from the video, and that is what the effect of player 2 hours have on AV. Honestly, I don't think whatever the effect is, it is a fix all. And imo, we already know all we need to know to beat AV. It's time to start talking strategies and stop waiting for some 2 hour lock that doesn't exist.

I enjoyed the interview, thanks Bercus!

I'm excited to see the Einherjar change, as currently I only run events within my linkshell as a very lowman group (as low as 5 and up to 22 max). I'm hoping for some scaling that will make a solid group of lowmanning it possible to some extent.

IMO adding more HNM isn't going to solve anything. They did that with Cerb, Hydra and Khim and it'll just be the same LSs camping/claiming em.

You play on my server? Never noticed you.

[Fhqwghads]

Did that retarded other wiki just blatantly steal all your work and not even fucking bother to credit you, or am I just seeing things?

P.S. Good jorb, Bercus. You have earned 1 Coach Z.

I've got it! Everyone needs to drink a Goblin's Drink when they're fighting AV! That will lock his 2 hours!

Question 8 (Battle Music)

/clap imo this was a waste of a question, shoulda asked about af2 for new jobs...
like anyone even has sound on in the first place

edit, i dont have any new job btw, but srsly... they need it cuz i hear a whole lot of complaining

Hydra, Sandworm, Jorm, JaJa, Gurfy, Medusa, Vrtra revamp on top of what is already considered 'the norm' HNMs would open up the pool for more players. SE stating they arent changing kings is nothing new, throwing some new lootpool fodder for whats already existing would be the real surprise.
