Version Update Details (4/8/09)

[Devolver]

I can't believe they didn't explain how augmenting is going to work in the least nor what all items we can augment. That seemed like a pretty big change and they didn't tell us anything. Fucking fail

whats the fun of having EVERYTHING spelled out like that? Also with the current playerbase, I'm sure damn near everything will be known about it before the end of the week.

[Spira]

Levi's 90% immune, Ifrit's 100% immune. (Amnesia's fire based, kids)

I get the idea it just means that when avatars are amnesiaed, Summoner's dont get to issue BPs at all.. so that it wont get to glitch

The part about SMN being amnesiaed is kinda redundant

[Mizango]

Maybe trying to open up the zones for more merit camps? Could be a good way of dealing with the bird camp congestion.

I'm certainly hoping so.

[KingAFK]

At least they're only 100k to buy.

So if you toss them out, you can rebuy them for 100k?

I've been looking around on wiki for information on this and couldn't find it. Have link by chance?

[Shinta]

When the goddamn fuck are they going to let me stop regretting my ToAU ring and finally let me swap it?

As soon as we finish Salvage completely.

[Pindle]

Fuck yeah, Smn BP range adjustment!

[Raylinn]

The "/bellsw on" and "/bellsw off" commands will respectively toggle on or mute the sound of other players' bells.

Thank god

[Shinta]

Expected that we couldnt use stuff or equip from the mog satchel but was holding some hope that we would be able to. Still awesome though.

Still pretty seriously limits it's use as far as expanding available gear we can use. I guess I can put my food in there .... hmm, what else .....

[Xno Kappa]

Hopefully the rewards from NM's in the "Elite" regimes of FoV will be equipment that could already be obtained from the treasure caskets. Been trying for gothic equipment for the past month with nothing to show for it.

[VZX]

I just want to know how soon I can receive my waldecors.
And it wasn't mentioned how the rewards selection will be when someone repeat the missions.

Theres VT mobs in those zones?

Basically:

A. No one walked to Garliage Citadel / Crawlers Nest so those two areas were always lopsided defeats for the Allied Forces.

B. With the new "areas determine what NMs can be popped with Allied Notes" system they wanted to make it fair - giving all zones an equal chance of being taken.

[Hyan]

Overall I like this update. It's been a while since that happened, really o_0. Usually I'm a bit underwhelmed, but not now (Salvage update did it for me I guess ;D). The way missions are handled in ACP sounds really good too.

[Pooky]

Shame there's no info on what items can and can't be augmented, looks like we'll have to wait on data mining/live servers to find out.

Glad to see that the Crystalline Prophecy (CP? lol) battlefields will allow people in who don't have the mission. My bet is that the key items from the CP battlefields will be for augments, but I hope that's not the case.


Also now that we can get Fields of Valor attributes in rotz areas, time to bring back moon pts?

[Hobbes]

The respawn time for the Beadeaux NM "De'Vyu Headhunter" has been shortened.

HELL YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Arximiro]

I wasn't expecting everything but at least an explanation of how we go about augmenting gear and which gear we can even do it to. I would assume they would explain that at least, but oh well. They decided to be extra lazy and vague this update note, time to go to sleep.

[Evildemon]

First thing I'm probably going to do is get on my Leathercraft mule, and make a bunch of "augmentable" armors and Bazaar them to see just how much people will pay to add stats to 'em.

Matter of fact, I have a full set of Lv. 7 Leather Vest armor, all HQ, that I'll augment for my lil' taru. I'm willing to bet HQ armor will be able to have more stats augmented onto them. If not, then NQ armor will be just as expensive as HQ, and only the whitebox whores will buy the HQ armors.

And i'm willing to bet SE only allows u to augment the three body pieces that they mentioned on the web page for crystalline prophecy.

[Uubu]

DI patch = win

SS (hope for the best) = win

Mannequins make me a sad panda :/ i just tossed 5 of em a month ago

and of course satchel = win

[Gilhaven]

Why is this a surprise? They said they had no plans on doing it, lol.

There was actually an interview a while ago where the developers were asked about the inclusion of T3 merits and they said they'd rather implement a cap raise of combat skills to accomodate more players with multiple 75 jobs. Whether they follow up or not is yet to be seen.

Apparently I fail at quoting...but this was in reply to the "no combat skils merit increase" comment.

[altwight]

"Elite training" regimes, which allow players to engage in battles with NMs, have been made available via Field Manuals located in the following areas:
West Ronfaure / East Ronfaure / La Theine Plateau / Valkurm Dunes / Jugner Forest / Batallia Downs / North Gustaberg / South Gustaberg / Konschtat Highlands / Pashhow Marshlands / Rolanberry Fields / Beaucedine Glacier / Xarcabard / West Sarutabaruta / East Sarutabaruta / Tahrongi Canyon / Buburimu Peninsula / Meriphataud Mountains / Sauromugue Champaign / Qufim Island / Behemoth's Dominion

Did I miss something? No one seems to care about this. There's only two notorious monsters in Behemoth's Dominion. Does this mean we'll be able to pop behemoth now?

[Fallyn]

You bet wrong.
