[dejet]

calling 2 month delay on thhe update.

anyways they did a good job adding af for all the new jobs, hell most the af for the new jobs is so much better then the old af. so i really am going to say that whatever they do ill trust them on it after seeing how well the af turned out.

i want more info tho ; ;

[Toth]

I'd assume Group IIs for Aht urgan jobs, Group I for WOTG jobs.

More Speculation GoGo:

SCH gets added to morrigans, DNC to Ares, the world suddenly implodes on itself.

You assume wrong because the ToAU jobs have had Group II merits for a year lol

Aht urghan jobs have had group IIs for... a really long time.

[Octavious]

ohright D: i forgot about fold etc. . .god damn i'm sleepy. . .Work>School>FFXI rotation is owning me, lol. Rather, I & IIs for WOTG, heh. I should go to bed earlier.

This will happen in the same update they add pup to E-Body, lol

Homam, i can see, but Dnc being added to Ares... dont bet on it

Agreed, heh, but I wonder if they ever plan on placing WOTG Jobs on Salvage Armor. It would kind of require them to or it pretty much alienates new players who would want to level DNC up as their main job etc, from taking an interest in that content. It would seem SE is taking the assumption that people who get DNC & SCH leveled already have another job with Salvage Armor availibility.

I play neither job but its pretty obvious that Skadi fits nicely for Dnc and most Scholars i know would cry Rivers of Joy if they ever became able to wear Morrigans. It seems like an oversight to me really because these combos look perfect. I hope SE does step up and make the changes

[vagus]

Update in September excites me. Lol. I didn't expect one so soon. All i want is Nyzul Izle Weapon update.

[Sagacious Sundi]

DNC is going to be added Marduk's. Just you see.

Thats actually a good point. Part of the reason why i've not taken SCH up higher would be the gear sets they have access too. Since i'm 2/3 for a few Morrigan's Pieces, it would be awesome if they got put on Morrigans and allowed BLM/RDM players to use more gear cross-jobs. One could also argue it would never happen since they weren't added to Zenith either, which was surprising. Who knows, maybe they'll add something other than cloaks for SCH refresh and make the sublimation AF hat/refresh combo pretty nice.

Don't tease me like that....

And Ares for DNC??? That makes no sense....

[Octavious]

that would be why I added 'and the world implodes on itself' at the end. It was a sad , tired attempt at sarcasm which apparently was fail+1. If SE stuck BST on Skadi, nothings impossible. >_> Yea I know there is some corrosponding stats, but BST is always on the WAR/DRK/PLD stuff so it was kind of different.

its not "major tweaks", if i recall they refer to dynamis as a "major battle" so with the hyphen its just saying they are tweaking and adding additions to major battles.

and heres to hoping its not a nerf and thats just a melee-weak statue :3

[dejet]

ToAU id done all af is going to be added to fights that are in ToAU now.

everyone has to know by now that blu pup and cor af is going to drop from
Pandemonium Warden! all 15 af2 items

its like the joke with AV(i know...) you cant kill it because it is not ment to be killed. it does not drop anything! its going to niinja fixed when af comes out i tell you!

[Necronus]

Dynamis is an event based on the idea that the Hydra Corps were warped into an alternate dimension, and although we can enter the past, that doesn't necessarily mean we can join the Hydra Corps and the fact that in the current time none of the Hydra Corps are any ToAU jobs it would seem to indicate that even if those jobs appeared in the past via Maws, they were not in the Hydra Corps. Apparently, no Dancers or Scholars were included in the Hydra Corps either. Dynamis was created from a moment in time, the Siege of Castle Zvahl, not a general period in which other jobs may have been present in the time period but not at the Siege.

Ok, yes, I am thinking about this too much.

Now I'm not sure whether the picture was posted to hint at lower entry price, AF2 in dynamis, or something unrelated, but assuming it is for AF2 in dynamis, whats wrong with a little retcon?

We play an online game that represents a world with a hopefully continuous storyline / environment. But any time any online game adds jobs/classes/a new craft/etc, a little bit of retcon doesn't hurt much as long as the story itself remains unchanged. Essentially we just pretend like the job/class/craft/etc always existed, no harm no foul.

anyone else see this? kinda odd they mentioned topic updates in the /servmes

I think they usually call stuff like Dynamis and Einherjar "massively multiplayer battlefields", so I'm interpreting it as "major tweaks (yeah, yeah, tweaks are only slight adjustments) to battle-related stuff," which could mean pretty anything.

That is definitely new, and I am actually quite surprised that they didn't think to use it before.

[dejet]

wow thats very cool, hope they do that more. servermes getting more use. 90% the time saying <<< Welcome to <server name> >>> just is a waste of something it can get better use out of.

[sirdude]

It would be really nice to see them drop the price on hourglasses. 1 mil for 64 and 1 mil for 36 people has always been kinda ridiculous to me. Also, perhaps the prices of currency will see a significant drop.
