All Worlds Maintenance (Sep. 8)

I understand why people are considering this 100% drop rate to be removed, but as I understand this, you get the sure drop for transforming your runic disc into a key and thus it's something that can only happen once per player. This could easily be carried over to the new system where your key retains the ability to warp you to any floor.

The difference would reside basicly in the fact that you can get 6 people with a full disc in just one climb, but i would assume that winning floor 100 would also make those 6 people register and get them their key, hence destroying the chance of getting six head pieces at 100%.

Assuming this is right, it means that if you want to keep a disc, you'll have to make someone warp out, just like you used to have.

It does "devaluate" the head pieces in the sense that you can secure a couple drops while still keeping the ability to hit any floor, but it's not so different from the old deal.

Runic Key is a permanant item, and they said in update note that you could use it to warp back on any floor.

But anyway, even if all 6 disk are cleared and you can't go back, you still have a few head pieces, and you can climb it x6 in a short time (20 runs give you like 3-4 heads at best).

[edit]
Sorry, I misunderstood your post. I guess it could work this way, but if it's the case, doing floor 1-100 would still be better. You could easily do 2 heads piece every 21 runs having a single person warp (like you said), and you would get to farm 4 more floor on the way.

I cannot think of a single job outside of scholar that does not get repetitive and old. Scholar just has so many options available to it at all times, it truly is a fun job to play.

Our itemization says otherwise.

[Tricen]

How about NIN becoming useful.

[Flarega]

I'd be happy if they just gave me A in katana.

[FailureMidgard]

Our itemization says otherwise.

Yea I know, I have sch at 75 also, but the job itself offers a ton. ;p

[LD]

Just to spice this up a little, they didn't announce Diabolos as a Summonable Avatar until the day of the update...and we only had one news bit this week....

I'd be happy if they just gave me A in katana.

SE denied your A Katana skill. You'd be too powerful.

[Ahlah]

SMNs are fine, hateless damage that does't feed TP to the target mob is important in low man fight. ZNM highly favours PLD, SMN and BLM too. PUPs shine in Salvage, and Usukane is pretty much the best melee gear they can wear.

DRG has become one of the best merit jobs since TAU release. Most LS don't do zerg fight without Angon and Feint. With their new 2hr DRG can pump out some nice number even in zerg fight. On top of that they still retain their ability to solo. DRG was intiailly designed to be full time solo, and now it has become one of the best melee jobs because ppl who play DRG ask for new adjustment. If you ever visit BST forum, all they ask for are pointless stuffs like uncapped jugpets, sic II and ability to zone without losing jugpet which either have minimal impact on BST role in endgame activities or overpower BST alliance.

Yeah WHM should have gotten Light Arts as a level 40 ability, BLM Dark Arts at level 40. But no skill increases. RDM could have gotten Helices and Storm spells. Sublimation a WHM 50 ability(since blm has Conserve MP+Aspir and RDM has refresh/convert). WHM would have gotten a JA comparable to Penury/Rapture while BLM would have gotten the same for Parsimony/Ebuillence RDM would have gotten JAs comparable to Manifestation/Acession to make spells AoE and Celerity/Alacrity to make cut the next spell's cast in half(like Sekkanoki for RDM!)

And everyone would have been happy

I'm late but I have to say fuck yes, this is how it should be.

My main beef with PUP right now is the puppet's A.I. and Activate timer. The timer is far too long and the puppet dying early is basically a 10-15 min weakness timer for the PUP. it's especially annoying since the puppet is deactivated whever you go into any capped area, or anything like a BCNM, Assault or Salvage. 20 fucking minutes. And yes, Fellow A.I is much better than Automaton A.I, they buff themselves as well as you, can easily be set up to WS and skillchain (easier than an auto anyway), and even take hits better overall, sadly. The puppet's actual hits and WSes are quite good, and it has access to a wide variety of powerful unique WSes, spells, and abilities, but it seems like for every plus there's two or three things holding it back. I love my PUP and can't wait to parse it after I finish my usukane/enkidu/nyzle relic set, but as far as HNMs go I usually can't be bothered as is, as long as that timer and A.I. stays in the way. I would also like to see the Activate timer reset if the PUP itself died.

Preaching to the choir, we've been asking for a shorter Activate Timer since release, only with new things like Campaign NMs and such, it's really needed now. I highly doubt they will fix Activate without adjusting DRG's Call Wyvern as a similar ability, even though DRG can perform just as well without their pet (except in solo situations, obviously), whereas PUP is just laughable without a fuckton of merits and the best gear available.

I agree and have agreed with every AI statement that's been made like the above, though. The puppet is just too dumb. I don't need to expand on this further, because everyone already knows, lol.

If it was more Fellow-based, as in, casting buffs without having to engage, curing without having to engage, I'd be happy. Times when I'm almost dead with Bio or something similar on, I don't want to have to engage to have a chance at getting a cure, erase or it casting Dia or Silence on something I won't be able to kill.

tl;dr: fix pup, QQ out the ass, loldrg, etc.

[EdgeMoragan]

Can it be I.R. Body time now please? -_-

[LD]

Did they say anything about new ranks?
Seriously, I forget.

[Xno Kappa]

Can't wait to see the stats on the ToAU jobs relic armor.

[EdgeMoragan]

Did they say anything about new ranks?
Seriously, I forget.

Starlight Medal Moonlight Medal Dawnlight Medal Medal Of Altana

These exist in the dats and are even displayed at otherwiki.

Who knows if they'd be added, and for all we know IR body could still actually be in the wings rank, just expensive.

All that matters to me and probably a lot of paladins is that it gets add x-x

[Hyan]

Won't get new ranks, im shure

[Reapz]

Just to spice this up a little, they didn't announce Diabolos as a Summonable Avatar until the day of the update...and we only had one news bit this week....

I've been reminding myself that since ToAU finished and nada yet lol

[test123]

[terranova]

Wow, that's..the fastest SE implemented a huge update after announcing it so far.

[MaachaQ]
