Developer Interview (Dengeki Feb. '09)

[Okan]

Needs more BST info. I'm really hoping they make the job a tad stronger to make people be more accepting of them in EXP PT, merit PT, and end game events.

[Aquilla]

With the storage fee cut in half, the storage NPC has become even easier to use. However, will we get to see more set equipment, such as Nyzul sets, added to his list of storable armor?

Takeda: Not only Nyzul equipment, but we’re looking to add more stuff that players have been clamoring for. While everyone has different sets they need stored, we’ve tried to judge what sets are the most important and add them accordingly.

Matsui: However, more importantly than what you can carry, we want people to consider what they need and what they can’t do with out. This is an online game after all, so we would rather see equipment up on the Auction House, rather than rotting in storage.

Really, that's fine by me, I just want an usable storage person for all my mountains of r/e shite. Limiting it by set sucks giant ones; since HQ is not storable. -.-
the only gear set i actively store atm is my mnk af2 and rse _._ yippie

[Maxxthepenguin]

I'm going to say it: Post 2h patch PW is well designed (aside from having to get the pop)

[urat]

What we need is a big boss that just wanders around his area aimlessly raping everyone in sight. no pops, no waiting for repop. just gather outside, take deep breath and dive in.

Maybe even make the monster so awesome he kills normal monsters orcish fodder style.

I'm waiting for Nashira/Homam storage, so everyone who tossed those crappy Homam Heads can freak out and spam Omega so they can store sets.

We need Tarrasque:

[Not Kuno]

Two r's

[Rocl]

Two r's

And a carapace which reflects magic.

Oh god, a Tarrasque-esque HNM (oh man asque-esque)

Pop time is similar to Noble Mold, no fancy conditions, just 7-12 week repop time. Nearly impossible to kill, akin to Pandemonium Warden.

WAVE OF THE FUTURE.

[Stinky]

We need Tarrasque:

Nah, what we need is a giant killer rarab. Been saying that for years. We can call it Peter Rottentail.

[Kerberoz]

Seriously, if you're going to put impossible-to-kill HNMs in the game, make them free-roaming time-pops, not trigger-pops...

There needs to be a complete rehaul for BSTs to ever be accepted :/

Like Dark Rider?

[Okan]

I refuse to give up hope. Ever since a friend of mine helped me do WHM AF1 (My first job that high), I've loved the class and want it to be accepted.

[Yugl]

According to the interview, Rune 094 only affects RUNE drops?

[Sho]

Yeah... >.>

[Ahnuld]

Thanks once again, Elmer.

[thetruepandagod]

so they said they *might* take a look at relics but most likely will not change them to inconvenience people that already chose relics? amirite?

[Delirium]

Gendai: Starting with new Avatars, there’s a mountain of things I need to get done, but like Matsui said, we need to make a place where endgame players can really show what they’re made of, and I’m going to putting my energy into that project.

I don't really understand why SE is being so secretive about the new avatars and their ability. Are they so afraid people are gonna be "you said this but did this instead"?

Also, its really funny they said they can't easily tell the difference in power between different relic weapons until people have them, but are still afraid to adjust them because other ones might not get adjusted.

[Nattack]

as long as they dont fuck with bst the way it is now, that is, charming mobs for 3-30 minutes at a time with no cost other than randomly failing, I'm fine. I'm still pissed about mob depop...
