Version Update Details (9/8/08)

[matt4684]

Reverend mail nerf???? Guess I can't pretend to be a tank in a 74 cap party :/

[Silka]

these are all mobs that currently have higher hp than base/Zilart/COP BST pets

Oh oh lol Seems I misread it (I know you're not talking to me but I had the same thought) The ladybug should have given it away- actually this may be good if they lower it. Possibly opens up new camps?

[Reapz]

Lol at AV/PW, was expecting a few surprises but oh well, SCH merits look like they could be great.

[Arthars]

No Relic WS dmg boost like they said?

december prolly lol

[Grieverao]

/em defeats Absolute Virtue
Experience Chain #2

JoL and AV items in lootpool?

XD

[SamanosukeShiva]

A payment of one Imperial bronze piece is now required to leave job-specific weapons in the care of the storage NPC Ghanraam in Aht Urhgan Whitegate.
* Please be reminded that doing so will cause all data associated with the new weaponskill quest to be reset.

does this means the new WS quest r going to involve WS point like WSNM?

[Sanjiyan]

Aside from extra synthable gear/items (assuming there's more than just a small handful), there's actually a lot less "surprise update day content" than previous anticipated.

I guess SE blew it's load early with previews, and has no other ace up it's sleeves.

[Faithe]

They better let us download the patch early.

None of that patch available after maintenance shit like last time.

[Ophannus]

Thought they would have added Mystic/Relic weapons and relic/mystic ws names to the autotranslator

[Octavious]

Oh oh lol Seems I misread it (I know you're not talking to me but I had the same thought) The ladybug should have given it away- actually this may be good if they lower it. Possibly opens up new camps?

It does kind of...I know some people who would go solo some of the Mamool Raptors, they're pretty squishy.

[Rowe]

Hate to say it but I called the AV just ups and leaves after a period of time. It is typical SE.

[tymora]

Time for a new AV/PW thread...Hope it is actually killable in 2 hours.

Bring out the Kraken DRKs!

[Massimo]

Still, 100% pop allows us to finally find the secret to it, hopefully.

If he's actually beatable in 2 hours, I don't see what all of the whining is about.

[ronin sparthos]

AV/PW "adjustments" have the potential to make or break this version update.

The way they word it is that both have taken a massive nerf if they expect you to win the battle through and through within 2hours. I think SE might have finally caved in on the 'secret' and made AV a normal NM with access to his 2hours only once.

If though, the monsters havent been nerfed then the next complaint will be "we need more time SE, we NEED MORE TIME".

[Ratatapa]

What is a Pantin lol.

I am intrigued as to what the merits will do to Haste Samba. If the samba becomes 15% with merits, have dnc become a more sought after merit job?

Pantin is the french word for puppet.

Pantin/marionette are french

[Tricen]

I wonder what is ganna break for this update.

[Ayn]

I'm wondering how many people we're going to see hold JOL at 1% now to make sure everyone's absolutely ready for AV.

Of course, that's going to make the 2x JOL Sundays even longer, if you do both.

[Xno Kappa]

Depending on the rate which the CoP Dynamis's drop AF now it might just offset everyone and their mothers wanting to do RotZ. AND FUCK YES FOR MY AF2 FINALLY!

No new RDM ability/spell but that's to be expected lol.

[Midnightjade]

New text for Beast and Monster jackcoat(+1), other Monster gear, and PLD AF items. Revealing a hidden effect? Or just switching 'enhance' to 'augment'?

I have both items for the jackcoat upgrade - wonder if it's going to be worth it?

[Tricen]

Fuck RDM, give NIN something to do other than job change to something else.
