September Version Update Preview (08/29/2008)

[Scuzzelbutt]

I havent traveled back to the Telaports in the past. Are there Chocobo NPC's sitting there waiting to be active?

[Xanthe]

Why exactly would we be withdrawing seals? If you can purchase all the orbs from him, what would be the use?

I was thinking the same thing. It's not like you can bazaar them in Batalli-o-mart for 7k a pop.

Nope, no NPCs at the telepoints, but that's not to say they can't add them.

[Dohorehn]

You act as though the NPC AI is so overwhelmingly good lol

lol i know right. i mean they're not like the epitome of greatness, but compared to my whm automaton AI... it's really no contest. Sure, the auto has nearly limitless MP, but I would like to be cured with that mp when I'm dying (instead of being silena'd when I'm subbing /war then having to wait for the recast timer and having the ghrah hexidisc me in the FACE) my goodness, where'd all that come from, ha.

[Maxxthepenguin]

Good stuff.

Maxx approves

Hey, the Chocobo's are colored and have war armor on. Don't you realize what this means? I can finally pretend to be a real live Chocobo Knight! Look at me world, I'm a Tidus! Fear my large bird and long internal monologues.

Once again I'm curious if they will wind up opening the other halves of Garlaige, Eldieme, and Crawler's Nest. If they really wanted to be cool they could stick some decent merit camps in there with Lycos or something. Instead they'll probably fill it with more skeletons and scorpions or something and no one will ever even want to be there to be consistent with the rest of the zone.

It's not like people use Kindred's Seals for a quest to break a certain level cap or anything D: would be funny to see people go, "Fuck I can't do this quest b/c I gave that shitbag all my seals... :("

You just made me realize those unused places are probably where they'll put player-made dungeons. ._.

I don't really care about the NPC stuff, my NPC is annoying, rude and level 33. I think I should redo the quest to get one that's not annoying and rude.

But I love the chocobo/NPC updates to the past!! :D

[Katlan]

None of this stuff was that great outside of the extra storage space... I think they changed the way they do updates and are now showing the best stuff closer to beginning and leaving the fluff for the end. Because, in the past, this would have been the first update notice and not one of teh last

[Sekkite]

Individually this is an underwhelming update. However, if you consider this in addition to the gear change in level capped areas, then this ends up being an even better update as far as inventory space is concerned. While not an exciting update, I certainly won't scoff at it.

Yeah seriously. It's not like he's holding orbs for you. When you're ready to do something just pick the orb you want or however it's going to work.

Made me laugh ;3

Ladies and gentlemen, get ready for more streamlined adventuring—the September version update is just around the corner! Continuing in the tradition of enhancing creature comforts in your Vana'dielian lifestyle, we're proud to introduce a number of adjustments and additions scheduled to take place.

That's a nice way of saying "here you go, you lazy ass fucks" and if that's the case, I expect to be teleported to BC after buying the Orb!

Ya know, considering the amount most people have, if they did that for a small fee (gil or seals), that'd be a great idea.

[setzor]

actually, it'd be kinda awesome if you could pay a small KS or BS fee to be directly teleported to the bcnm of choice.

[spooky]

I wonder if this just the first step for something larger, 1000 KS, 500 BS fights?
Or just buying items out right with seals.

somethingsomething fix kings & add larger KS/BCNM somethingsomething;


At least thats what I've always been a proponent of. >_>;

[Lampoon]

Actually, I wasn't being sarcastic. If he becomes something like Sagheera. He should dispence Key Items not actual Orbs. And if that is the case, some people need to spend their Orbs lol

Also, he does take depleted Orbs back atm, so maybe we can get a Portal Points or something for doing that.

[LD]

Wow, I thought when the edit message didn't come up, it meant no one saw it.

Ah well, live and learn.

[Dohorehn]

man, how about a seal discount?! buy 2 KS99, get one free? eh? eh? /rejected.
