September Version Update Preview: Part Two (09/03/2008)

[Aksannyi]

I love this update ... too bad the lazy people in my static just decided to stop gathering together. >< If I had any sort of pull at all I'd cattle prod all of them to get my shit!

Wish we would have taken up my disc, at least that way if the group doesn't go I can still organize frigging pick up runs, getting sick of sitting on 4 tags every weekend wondering if we're fucking going.

I welcome this update, but I'm frustrated as hell at people.

[Alistaire]

Sorry if it's been asked already but I'm a tad confused and don't want to read the whole thread.

Does this mean that any enemy in Nyzul can now drop the weapons? Is it more likely to be 20/40/60/80 NM's?

It means the bosses can drop weapons. Not normal mobs, just 20/40/60/80/100 bosses.

it's true, my uncle works at se and told me that's how it works

Or you could just read what they wrote.

Edit: Re-read, ok, so they don't exactly say it's 20/40/60/80 bosses but let's be realistic here a moment, do you really think that's not going to be how it is?

Has SE mentioned anything about the improvement of relic weapon skills (i.e. castastrophe, tachi:kaiten) in this update?

It's been mentioned yes, but not specifically for this update. It was mentioned in reference to the new Mythic Weapon skills, so in theory since you could have a Mythic Weapon the day after this update Dynamis ws's should be upgraded this update.

It got pushed to the wayside, just like the whole DRK getting "scythe mastery" thing.

[Telchar]

sorry for the double post >.<

[Tempyst]

If that great katana WS was 3-hit critical SAM/WAR would be way too broken, haha.

This is what I'm hoping for, 5 hit setup with a 480 delay GKT will tear ass

Not really. The whole point of boosting them was to keep them better than these new ws's that don't exist yet. Since they don't exist yet there's no need to boost them till they do exist.

This sure does make shit nicer for the up and comers in Nyzul who have to leach on others disks to for armor farm runs....now we can do our own and help others at the same time :3

Also, im praying the EP-DC adjusment is significant enough to be able to provide a good amount of solo exp while lfp when youre too low to go to campaign just yet. This will be interesting.

[Calekor]

On another note, people on floor 95 should probably kill their disk asap, because you can expect the 100% drop rate to be nerfed (on the head piece)

Question for people who have allowed their discs to wipe, is it just "a" head piece will be guaranteed or the head piece equippable by the job of the person who warped to 96? For example, a white mage warps up and does not warp out before boss is killed, is goliard hat going to drop? Or just any of the 3?

Cause if it can be controlled like that then I know a few people who are going to be wiping their discs in a real hurry.

[MaachaQ]

Hmm, hadn't thought of the 100% drop for disc wipe being changed... I think tomorrow my 90 disc is getting wiped, and the 95 disc of my other static member. We have yet to even try floor 100 though, so we may have issues ^^; Never fought the real HNMs, only their Nyzul and assault versions, and the FL Khimaira and Cerberus have given us problems...

Fanatic drink + 2h make those fight a joke. The only one we wiped to is cerb, but he is usually easy



About EP/DC update, is it possible they will only change the monsters in the past? Give those areas to people who want to solo, and keep everything else outside the same. With refresh/regen/hhp signet, Shadowrealm area would be a nice place to solo. There is EP-DC monsters for lv 20 to 75 too.

[LD]

They didn't specify any area, and they didn't say it was signet or sigil only, so there's no reason to think it isn't for everything that cons EP-DC from lvl 1-75

Don't need 2hours unless you zone up with 2min left. They a joke. Especially khim, just kill normally and at ~30% pop fanatics and carry on.

[Hyan]

How many days beforehand do they usually release the maintenance info? I had a hunch we'd get the info today but don't see any news @ POL..

DRK Kraken/Mighty Strikes Khim with 3 mins left and White Magic restricted on floor 80 and still winning was the best fun I've had in Nyzul, luls.

I know, but he said it was his first time. Was just going with the safest and easiest method.

We killed khim two day ago with with 1min20 left when we zoned up, and 50sec when we engaged. This one is always a joke, as long you don't get paralyzed by fulmination (fanatic drink counter this)
