Version Update Notice (02/27/2009)

[Stubwub]

I duoed sandy line BLU and SMN and BLU and RDM before. However the other BCs are impossible to find ppl for. And I know with my struggle w/ Nyzul what results I'll be expecting doing /shouts for A Feast for Gnats/Fire in the Hole

I still have not been able to find a group for A Feast for Gnats, so I understand. I've tried to solo it so many times, simply because no one wants to do it. I'll shout for hours, and maybe get one other person but no one else.

I saw a lot of people shouting for it when it came out, but I was behind due to concentrating on other aspects of the game. Now that I'm up to that mission I cant find anyone willing to help. :/

But hey, what else is new, that's normal for XI.

[Araelus]

A Feast for Gnats is zergable with one WHM to cure the NPC general, and two SAMs who Meikyo on the Belfry. You win or lose in under a minute. Once this April update requires people to clear more of the storyline, people will be interested again.

The planned difficulty of April's storyline battles (quest/mission distinction isn't relevant) should be higher than the last fights, if SE devs have any idea what difficulty scaling is and they weren't outright lying at FanFest. Steve-the-Man-Reinhart claimed WotG's final fights will be up there with ToAU44 and the end of CoP; full party, tactics required. That's worth looking forward to.

I still need >.>

[Corrderio]

get on then >_>

[Auspice]

Alright since I can't seem to get any answers from google; is there any possible way to use ewhmodel without installing Japanese fonts and all that shit? I remember using FFXITool2 or w/e to view zones a long time ago but it doesn't seem to work anymore.

[Corrderio]

"I don't think so, Tim."

Non-stupid answer: Doubtful

EDIT: Well, maybe .DAT swap yoru MH with Walk of Echos may work, but I kinda doubt it. I never tried it so I can assume certain zones may crash.

[Auspice]

Well, I got the older version to work but the new one just crashes on boot. Applocale fixed *most* of the problems I was having at least I guess. haha

[Tarage]

No mention of Avatars...

[Silenka]

No mention of Avatars...

I highly, highly doubt there will be any this time lol.

SE hates summoners.

Tell me about it, I somehow lucked out and found ppl that needed it today. Someone shouted for help, I was free and accepted. Asked Kaslo, then got another person that needed it for shouts, they got a friend, and had someone from another LS offer to help. Probably the only time I'll see something like that happen to sadly. Which sucks since I need to do Fire in the Hole.

EDIT: I really doubt I'd want this avatar if I played SMN. Since I think in an interview SE was talking about the avatar saying, saying after they release it we'll be asking them how it works.

Hasn't SE been sadistic enough already?

[Melios]

No mention of Avatars...

That falls under the wide encompassing field of "Battle-related adjustments and additions."

[Daedalus]

We've got an entire month to wait for more detailed information. Log check POL everyone Monday/Friday from now 'til April >.>

[Devek]

Ya, because more useless avatars really helps summoners.

[Corrderio]

Meh, I say SE should make lowever level BPs more useful before they bother with new summons.

[Blackbrock]

Take a look at what smn got last time they got a new avatar.
What abilities did they really get that they ever use?
Speaking as a smn who has been 75 for 4 years this is what they got
a new move for when fighting kirin
Cool
I'd rather have some reason to play smn instead of a gimmick for 1 fight that I never do.

[Toth]

Don't forget Ruinous Omen!

Oh wait....

DREAM SHROUD, noctoshield and netherblast are hardly "gimmicky".

[Nymphadora]

With our luck they'll give us a meh avatar and nerf astral flow. ; ;

[Sagacious Sundi]

What worries me is no mention of new areas. Didn't the update that added the 3 strongholds mention areas in the first teaser? The longer it's taking for them to release the Northlands, the more I'm thinking that that will be the sky/sea/ZNMs of this expansion, while the Walk of Echoes might be akin to Dynamis/Limbus/Salvage/Einherjar.

Noctoshield: would be good if utsusemi did not exist
Netherblast: good if you don't have a better job than smn for events its good for
DREAM SHROUD: good for the right time for what you want, but then again someone else could be in the party instead of you so FAIL
