September Version Update Preview (08/29/2008)

[Attila]

Next up! Defining gear sets that I can pull out of my Mog House by selecting "RDM Tanking set" or whatever instead of pulling out each piece individually. Please Square? ;;

They need to give us longer macros before they allow us to store a Personal set of gear. lol

[Rowe]

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

Is your NPC Elvaan? I think all Elvaan NPCs are rude.

How?

If you're that hard up for inventory space, just drop the seals since you're obviously not using them.

One may as well drop gil they're not currently using, either?

I have a shitload of seals. Comes with the territory of getting everything 37'd, multiple 75s, then a lot of soloing to cap skills across the jobs including the painful stuff like parry or pre-update shield.

Meanwhile, my LS knows about my seal collection. I'll help when asked to do runs, and try to put up my own for KS99s, but when everyone has some stacks, that could be every third run or so over a couple month span. Though, part of my problem in burning them is simply being a more nocturnal person. By the time I'm up go through any scheduled LS events, a lot of people are looking to turn in for the night. So, as someone that's never had luck with shouting for PUGs ever since the ODS manaburn merc craze died, commence gradual inventory bloat.

wru ToAU ring change. wru.

[terranova]

CAN'T TOSS EARTH CRYSTALS... NEED GILS.

What the hell is this... beastman seal? It's... EX. I can't sell this crap... /toss


60 Levels and probably 2 stacks of tossed seals later...

DAMMIT!

I did that before D:. Tossed 200 seals before I even knew what they were for.

(4 years later finally got 200 seals again >_>)

[Seraph]

wru ToAU ring change. wru.

Seriously, the Alexander Portal is either an excuse to get a different Ring, or some unfinished potential plot blurb that SE will never finish. That had so much potential too, could have been the next Apoc Nigh quest...

Stupid Mythic Weapons.... You probably get all up in Alexanders dead crotch portal to fight Balrahn... for some reason.

Selecting DRG Accuracy Set results in the game loling and crashing.

I'd settle for a inventory sort by job or sort by level function.

[Crisco]

I'm satisfied with the way the inventory is. Paging through the gear isn't a problem since I'm used to it. My only wish is that it was faster. The 5 min it takes me to gear change to RDM when we're rushing to small man claim Khim/Cerb really hurts...especially when (the LS we don't mention because they're faggot server transfers and Asuran rejects) steals it as I'm running into the camp. That last bit was aside the point, but I had to vent a bit.

Gogo better update notes on Monday plz.

[LD]

Gogo update on Monday plz.

and I~ helped.

[Valisk]

How do you steal a claimed mob?

[Seraph]

How do you steal a claimed mob?

"What is alliance wipe?"

"That's right, for $1000. Pick again."

[Valisk]

Yellow = Fair game

Wipe less

[kayn]

actually, this comment got me thinking... it is rather disheartening that SE spends so much time focusing on fellows and is so negligent of Automatons. And yes, negligent would be the appropriate word here. In their interviews, they can't even properly address questions asked about PUP. And with the masses crying great injustice due to the auto's ignorant AI, SE remains unresponsive. Nobody complains about fellows and bam, they get 'tweaked' in just about every update. What's the deal! I love my npc, and i love my puppet. Together we're a great team. But, I must confess my fellow tends to outshine my auto in just about every little thing. I mean she even hastes me for crying out loud. /sorry pup rant

Maybe more ppl use NPCs than level pup?

[Minions]

Maybe more ppl use NPCs that level pup?

winrar

[Niiro]

Already can fight Balrahn, he's an Ein boss.

Apocalypse Nigh was added at the end of CoP and capped off the last two expansions. If anything is going to be "the next Apoc Nigh quest", it wouldn't be implemented until after WotG is finished... and WotG is far from being finished.

[Dohorehn]

npcs can level PUP!? oh, nvm...

seeing as they've been around longer, probably.

[Zumi]

Do a lot of you guys not use your seals or what? I don't see how people get up to like 20 stacks of them. I have 8 almost 9 lvl 75 jobs and most other jobs to SJ level so I did get a lot of these. I usually do a bcnm fight as soon as I have enough for one. Yet I only have less then a stack of kindred and beastman. So the storage thing wasn't too exciting for me

[Seraphise]

Apoc nigh was a quest that completely summed up the stories for both CoP and RoZ, being as no expansions have any tie in between them, it would be stupid to have one. I'm going to assume ToAU is completely finished mission wise.

You're just assuming. Just because Apocalypse Nigh caps off two expansions, doesn't mean the next one will conclude the last two.
