Mythic Weapons Discussion

[tymora]

Well, that's kinda what I was asking about. Like if a battle is supposed to end when the mob is at 20%, if at 21% you do 22% damage in one shot (or within a very short period of time), will the enemy die, or will it be 1% and then the cutscene starts?

It could be that this BC is supposed to end at 20% (or whatever), due to shitty programming it didn't get triggered to end, and the guy was forced just to wail at him hopelessly to 1% until he timed out. I think the dialog suggests that he doesn't actually die ("Wow, you've got a lot of power, a new legend begins" or something, I don't have time atm to look through for it exactly). But I guess that could go either way.

Maybe a "<" became "==" in the code...

[Cautery]

hopefully the bcnm was just bugged.

If you had to kill him at 1% a special way, (for each job), then it would have to have been by the nyzul WS (which he said he used) or a SC using Chain affinity. (which he did right after the nyzul WS).

Yeah, like AV was meant to be killed with Jailer Weapons and/or Ebony Panels oshit...

Would drop to 1% and the CS would come up would be my idea. Maybe someone that has lots of time could try on Tenzen. I remember knocking him out with less than 4% before he gave up, and did that kneeling animation.

Yes, Aftermath gets it's own icon for each level.

Since this is being asked often...

i wish they'd give those icons to ROZ relics, so much easier to keep track of >.>

In before "emergency maintenance" to fix roz relics!

Oh hai, where are those upgrades they promised to roz relics owners???

Ok it is not bugged lol, of course people would instantly say it is bugged if someone lost, find that funny as hell. Clearly you must do something to kill it when it reaches 1%hp, best thing to do is read the log of the fight to figure out what that is.

Too bad he's a PS2 player and most likely didn't record any of his log.

Thought this was an AV rant for a minute there~

Aftermath level three at some point, say under 50% HP or so, seems most plausible. I don't think this fight is supposed to be nearly as much of a hurdle/fight so much as, say, an interactive CS where you're actually doing more to bind with your new mythic than watching CSes about the past.

Since this was done by a BLU first, it's very possible he used most of his TP during the fight on chain affinity and skillchains and didn't go for the melee damage, which in turn would have gotten him aftermath level 3 fairly quickly (as any other melee job would easily get to level 3 in a minute or so pending whiffs).

I know SE's a piece of shit most of the times, but maybe they just assumed people would be trying out the aftermath things and find out fairly quickly and easily what makes him give up, and because we had a BLU go first that fights using use TP differently he missed something that obvious.

Here's hoping, anyways. Good luck to whoever tries it next.

Took him to 0 before one time, full dd setup, had full hastes with a KC DRK, I went BLU/DRK, used tp wings etc, no glitch.

Talking about .dat mined logs, not actual chat log of a JP player on a PS2 which I read also.

If the fight does require the WS, it's doubtful you're expected to get it from the Vigil weapons. The devs said you'd get the WS along with the weapon once you beat it all and anyone who traded the weapon as soon as they got it would be totally fucked.

So either you do have to unlock the WS through the blank Mythic weapon, or it's something different entirely. The TP thing is still possible (holding to 300% might work), but the point is it might not be restricted to just that one WS.

Someone wake up the guy already! He has work to do!

Over the next month or more? At least.. thats the time it takes us to get T4 drops, doing 5~8 each T4 per week.

Piggybacking off this concept, it could be to achieve aftermath level x, y times.

I'm actually more curious about fighting that hydra mob to 95%... Potentially something special happened at 95% to make it despawn and create the second battle. Or perhaps the criteria for the second fight is determined by how long you fight the hydra for.

Alternatively, someone who gets a blank mythic really needs to check it with LC and see if it has weapon skill points, this would be a huge indicator that you need to "power it up" before the fight.

That is possible, but if they didn't hint to this before you do the fight they are dumber than I thought.
