Version Update News 11/4

[Enedin]

That would be awesome i've wanted them to add something like this for a long time


lol could you imagine though some party in the dunes
"uhh voke?"
....
"war voke!"
....


"oh sorry! lawlz i just got my tonberry card taken away becuz i lost the match"

Beside the fact that that is something I've been dreaming about since like, ever, the fact that this update will hold the Iron Ram Body (most likely since last update didn't have it XD), for which I've saved 150k Allied Notes, is also cool. Then again, I got Hydra Haubert on pure luck so I guess I won't need it that much anymore.

Iron Ram Body, or I start killing hostages.

You win. Hands down. Hilarious!

2) Instanced HNMs sans loot pool for strategy building/practice.

This is what I've been wanting for years. Not only for HNMs, but for solo'able NMs as well. I would most definitely pay a moderate fee to test/perfect my strategies on certain mobs without risk of being overcamped or losing pop items.

[Belgaer]

To be quite honest, I'd be very happy with a massive job update. New JA's, new spells, etc for all jobs. We haven't had something like that since they added job Group 2 merits, and that was a great addition. Except... Not more merit stuff.

A new avatar or two (SMN could use a raw support avatar and a raw DD avatar, imo), more BLU spells (some of the ones in the dats now would work); that kind of thing.

needs a channukkah event. star of david chakrams, menorah furniture, chocolate gil, popoto pancakes

[vagus]

I smell AV since fan fest is soonish too.

[Hyan]

One thing to notice is that the first preview of the update came like a week-2 later than in september update so I think we won't get the horrible week+ wait between update teasers this time. The update will pretty much have to come live on 8th day of December too.

me too. i noticed the distinct aroma of bullshit as well.

I can't believe no one has been bitching about the fact that the updates that use to come out every other month are now coming out every 3rd month. We had an update in september, that means no update in oct and an update in november. NOT DECEMBER!

Not enough SMN gear/updates for them to be taking longer.

Edit: It's not like these updates have any more content then the older ones (other then level sync)

Dec. 8.

I miss the old smilies.


Also, we haven't gotten more than 4 major updates a year since 2006, so :/

[ronin sparthos]

Fuck yeah! Blitzball!

If its anything like the Chocobo Racing then it'll be popular for a month then banished the lower recesses of "Holy Shit im tired of my Moogle spinning... lets go play Karugo-Narugoball!"

On the topic of side-games: Im still convinced that the user-created dungeons if they actually ever did it would be like "Create your own Nyzul Isle.... without the rewards!".

It sounds awesome but they'd never allow you to actually place monsters which means it'd be like Nyzul where at best you pick the family and an objective.

A quicker route back to the past so the new camps there aren't totally worthless, would be awesome. Not sure what fucked up logic convinced them that lowbies would be able to trek the 30-45 minutes to the past cities on their own.

This is definitely what i'll waiting to see. The day that SE actually stops giving Sanction a blowjob and makes meriting/mainstream exp in the past worthwhile via Sigil.

An entire new expansion pack and.... merit camps are still packed because the newer areas aren't worth it.

[Aksannyi]

I would love it if they'd let us get Sigil from the CA's in all zones, and if we could get Sanction at each Runic Portal.

[Lebzile]

I just want an update that has nothing to do with "chocobos" or "fellowship NPCs" Jesus fucking Christ, seems like every update has had SOMETHING to do with those 2 shitty segments of the game.

New spells and JAs would be nice, but MNK needs something for gods sake, make us useful in end game. FFFFFF

[Melios]

Maybe we'll see the Northlands opened up in the past (with multinational campaign battles)?

No one is bitching about that because that was never the case. The only difference is that around ToAU launch we went from about 5 updates a year to 4.

[LD]

I get the feeling that the 'new systems' bit means they'll finally open the other door of the Colosseum. Here's hoping for FFVII-style battle arena. Beyond that, probably northlands, at least glacier. I wish they'd add walk of echoes, but I have the rotten feeling they wont add that until very last.

[Starr]

Increased combat merits or Sundi gets it

[Keyln]

Personally, I'd be happy with a light-based avatar other than Carbuncle. As a Summoner, I dread the times when light day rolls around.

[Toth]

Wish list (for fun):

Cat 2 Merits for DNC and SCH (probable but not likely)
AF2 for DNC and SCH (probable since they finally copped out with the ToAU armors but not likely)
Job adjustments (very likely)
New Campaign items- the body piece of each sets (very probable)
New areas - Northernlands (very probable), Echoes of Time/Dreams if we are really lucky - maybe as a hub to the Northernland zones?
New avatar! (lol......................yeah right)
New merit spots? - likely if Northernlands open

[Hyan]

Merit in castle zvahl would be omfg hot :Q_
