Version Update (12/08/08)

[Lampoon]

I thought it was originally made for lower levels, not 75.

No, when they first announced it, they mentioned the difficulty progression will increase with levels and just like OPs to certain regions, the levels increase. Similar to Garrison.

(I'm still glad they went with this idea. I've submitted a letter to dev team 2 years ago proposing a battlefield similar to assault/garrison where stuff comes at you in waves and you get EXP for this)

[Aquilla]

that's nice, in theory, however since the deflation it's harder and harder to find stuff that sells decently on AH.

Basically, if whatever i'm farming sells slow and for low gils, and i can make more money killing beastmen as mnk/thf, then its not worth farming.

[Destinye]

Not to bitch, but wtf SE? Just wtf?

What are 75s going to do then? No Cape? Are you serious?

If you remember..

It was designed for lower level players..are YOU fucking serious? 75s have a TON of fucking shit to do.

[KigenAngelo]

In regards to Field of Valor, if it is successful and is *used* it will be added it to other areas (as expressed by the Devs at FanFest)

The respawn time for Treasure Coffers and Treasure Chests has been shortened, and """""""""""""""""""""the chances of obtaining artifacts, maps, and key items from them have been increased""""""""""""""""""""

I don't understand that part?

[Cesaria]

The economy is less inflated now than even the freaking US and UK ones.

I'm getting bloody sick of SE taking the fucking lazy option to sorting out the RMT issue - and hitting the regular players with everything as well. They need to pull their fingers out of their arses and fix issues properly for once instead of just copping out with a "Oh Xdgsdgsg is farming this for gil - LET'S MAKE IT SELL FOR 1 GIL because that won't affect anyone else at all will it?"

I've not slagged off update notes before but this is lazy as fuck SE - MMM your big showpiece content pulled (would that be because it wouldn't work at FanFest huh?), you've moved a couple of NPCs (wow here have a sticker - I actually liked having the OP guy next to the signet blokey in Sandy and Windy and Bastok can burn in hell anyhow) and given Galka a new tutu... I'm not fucking impressed and I'm not a habitual SE-basher.

Lazy lazy lazy.

The sale prices for the following items have been changed:
Black Ink / Bugard Skin / H. Q. Bugard Skin / Orc Piercer / Yagudo Freezer / Shellbuster / Leech Saliva / Bird Blood / Beast Blood

Screw you guys I'm going home

[Nalyr]

Sad to see a lot of farming options closed now, although I knew it was going to happen eventually with the rise of botted party teams in some locations :/ I'm in the boat with a lot of other people now trying to find a new means of reliable income.

Quicker respawn = more opportunity to go and find them and then gtfo, more or less.

[The Blackrose]

Maybe they're not adjusting the Warp taru, so you can still grab signet, antidotes, job change, and only have to run it once.

Except for those of us who bind at the Mog House in North San d'Oria and have the MH jump quest finished because binding in Whitegate these days is for suckers.

EDIT: Bind = set home point. Sorry, I STILL use EQ lingo to this day. Try saying "start a group" to a bunch of people and they go "Wha?"

[Baleoce]

I thought "Version Updates" were supposed to be substantial. All I see is gil making nerfs and delays, granted DNC and SCH will be happy.

Nerf a great deal of people's (non-rmt) way of making gil.
Throw in a few sprinkles of updates that are nice but doesnt make up for the lack of the rest of stuff they should have added

This isnt a version update SE this is a Maintenance.

Ok, thanks. When I read it it sounded like chances of getting a 100% chance item has been increased (which made no sense to me)

[Stubwub]

im glad they FIXED those items being NPCd. NPC gil = inflation. Gil from the AH = circulation.

People need to get the econemy going by circulating items and materials. Everyone getting gil from NPC are just causing inflation. Need the income and outcome of the gil to and from NPCs to be even in order to stop inflation. Need gil removed to lower it. Need gil brought in to raise it.

People NPC shit because there's nothing worthwhile on the AH to sell. It's better than camping NMs and was one of the few ways to build up gil for other things like crafting.

How do you propose we make gil now? Sell crystals? Woopie 500 gil after a day or two. Only 7 slots to sell shit!

God help the players with un-leveled crafts, they wont be able to make any equipment or items; not that crafting is profitable in the first place.

[Xellith]

Players can undertake training regimes by examining the "Field Manual" in any of the areas listed below, then selecting "Individual Training" and choosing their desired objective from the subsequent menu.

West Ronfaure / Valkurm Dunes / Jugner Forest / North Gustaberg / Pashhow Marshlands /
Beaucedine Glacier / Xarcabard / West Sarutabaruta / Buburimu Peninsula / Meriphataud Mountains / Qufim Island

Maybe SE's actually wanting us to level low-level jobs, or *gasp* even level sync with lower-level players?

Someone wanted their RDM melee buffs I see

[Cesaria]

How can they increase the chances of getting artifact from a coffer? Have a fucking neon sign that pops over the top of it saying YOU'VE NOT OPENED THE QUESTS = YOU'RE GOING TO GET UTTER SHIT DUMBASS???

[Fogo]

Actually I'm almost tempted to level sch now.....almost..



...maybe when they add more storage space...

This guy didn't read a few posts above.
