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

[Septimus]

This is one of those "Who are you and what have you done with our dev team" updates.

Copious quantities of win, then drizzled with awesomesauce.

They finally recognized that Easy Prey and Decent Challenge mobs are almost never Easy Prey or Decent Challenges and will reward us with more XP. Wow.

And the Nyzul Isle changes are fan-mother-fucking-tastic. Increased weapon drops, no more Runic Disc clears, Runic Discs act as 100 keys, and everyone getting clears for floors.

It's like this guy was ejected from Nyzul Isle. http://www.septimusprime.com/images/anti-fairy.png

Seriously, who are you and what have you done with our dev team?

[Amok]

So if you have a disk in your group with 20 and do a 100 floor does that 20 disk become a 100 disk or do you need to start @ 20 to get that disk 100?

No, because they say this:

For their progress data to be updated, players must begin the mission on a floor equal to or lesser than the maximum level currently recorded on their disc

Now when SE announces RDM updates, will they completely blow your mind ??? THAT JUST HAPPENED .

[Rocl]

I hate my life

[LD]

This is a really nice update news. Less incentive to do a traditional exp pt now. :3

This is....a bit of a shock. Potential solo and a much easier Nyzul....

WTF's gunna be on Friday? ._.

[Kaiyoko]

Maybe the dev team took some notes from wow.

[tyraravenlocke]

Heh.. what an amazing amount of awesome.

I was dreading having to bring our entire static up through to 100, and now.. outside of once we no longer have to.

Course there's still the grinding out of 150k nyzul points.

But hey.. you can't have everything!

[Suiram]

This is good new for the people who already started on mythic upgrade. You need the un-upgraded weapon to get the WS, but now all it takes is one Nyzul run to get it, since Runic Key (which they already have by definition) will now take them back to 96, and their weapon will drop 100% when they go (plus another weapon for someone else). Also nice to confirm that working on an upgrade won't interfere with the quest for unlocking the WS, and vice-versa.

Nyzul Tokens have always been pretty easy...I've got ~50k from just whoring myself out to random people for Nyzul. D:

I seriously hope the weapon drops aren't insanely high. It'd be a pretty big slap to those who got all the way to 100 for theirs. Meh, it's funny we all bitched that they were too difficult to finish, then SE went and made them super easy.

[Cow_k]

Yeah, we've cleared 3 discs and had 4 more to go... I for one am relieved that we'll be able to take everyone up at once. Plus, this just made farming tokens MUCH easier as you can have 6 people bouncing floor 100 for max tokens~~~

At least one or two people wont be paying all the time now and using all the points they have ,so it's actually possible for them to will be able to complete that 150k lol.

[MoogleAura]

So could we be seeing this update at the end of this week, or is it more likely to be next week?

[EdgeMoragan]

They have had a strong habit of making it Monday or Wednesday lately, my bet is next week

[Therin]

Wow. They maybe made this a little TOO easy, but whatever, I'm not gonna complain! I get my disk back! :D

[Waef]

Nice, this is gonna make Nyzul Isle so much less of a hassle. It's not like they're making the quest TOO easy though, considering how much other stuff you still have to do. But at least everyone has the chance to do the quest for the new weapon skill and start the quest for a nyzul relic :O

[Zumi]

Nice no more warping out at 100 and actually get some tokens back.

[Septimus]

Maybe the dev team took a note from what we have been asking them to do to XP since before WoW even existed.

Fixed.

[safer]

lol @ people complaining this is too easy now...

my static has climbed nyzul 4 times to floor 100, and done many many farming runs, and have been sitting on our discs because our 2 disc holders didnt want to clear

this change is very much welcomed, and makes the headache of choosing which job i want to clear my disc on no more!

(yay pup)

NO WONDER WHEN YOU WEAR FULL GOLIARD ON IT.

I saw you, don't deny it omg.

[Tifrece]

Very awesome, I'm excited to see how much the increase to exp is, at the very least it will make solo/duo'ing to level 25-30 much easier.
