Next Version Update Scheduled for Late July! (06/08/2009)

[Cutriss]

New avatars /hopes

Gonna laugh my ass off if the new avatarS end up in XIV instead of XI.

And then cry a little.

[dejet]

New merit camps <3 please

>.> lol i have not merited in almost a full year. maybe if they add an area that is NOT birds(and as good exp) i will be happy

[ringthree]

I wonder why they added that the "Quality Assurance" team was also working on the update?

Is this a "Damn, sorry about the enfeebling fuck-up?"

Said they would add bodies once released North lands so hopefully they won't suck? But if they do release a IR body with enmity+4 or higher on it, see you again ACP PLD body!

Fast Cast.

Mamools.

They need to add the rest of the campaign ranks; I've renewed/lost and re-obtained Wings of Honor so many times (got it as soon as I possibly could, and it's been months). Make the last one permanent too, or perhaps make it permanent after you clear all the missions and nation quests.

I'm current on all the missions/quests, partially because I love the storylines and want to see what's going on, and partially because it's far easier to find people to do them as they come out. Of course, we get to experience the exciting glitches too (insta-despawning mobs in Karugo-Narugo ftl).

They have a quality assurance team? With the number of bugs in every update, I would think that they either don't exist, or the devs completely ignore them as so they might as well not exist. And don't even get me started on Xbox 360 crashes...

On a side note, I doubt we'll see SMN avatars this time around. They've been "promising" them since 2006, and we'll hear about in Fan Fest 2009 (assuming there is a Fan Fest 2009).

Bleh...I'm way too negative with this update...

[Spira]

maybe they drew together a new team of QA after the enfeebling screw up and are actively involving them with the updates so that such screw ups will happen less often now..

not likely tho.. probably just mentioned for PR sake

We still don't really know if the Enfeebling thing was a bug or some devs secretly trying to sneak some skill into the game.

Permanent after you clear every Campaign Op under every nation!

Anyway, you can rest assured that the new ranks will be added:

1) We are getting northlands
2) They stated that the new campaign body pieces will be added when they add the northlands
3) They will need to add a new class of rewards in order to add the new campaign body pieces

Therefore, we are getting the final set of medals in this patch.

You just whooshed my /facepalm.

There are other places to XP than birds. There are also others places to XP on BLM, but that is a more legitimate problem.

I actually really enjoyed this fix. You shouldn't be able to sleep Wyrms. Nothing makes me /facepalm more than having to sit through a 55min faf because a bunch of clueless noobs can sleep it as much as they want.

Bleh, I'd like to meet this QA team.

Heck, I'd like to BE on this QA team. My 10 years of games QA should be helpful. Too bad I don't live in or near LA.

[BRP]

Oh crap, this means I actually have to do the Nation Quests from last update. Dammit.

I've had a harder time doing these missions with pick ups than any before it. Either no one is interested(at least compared to ToAU pre-rings), or something about breaking them up into three areas is making it difficult.

[Gergall]

I'm willing to bet that the "Improvement" to MMM is that they're going to restore the amount of marbles obtained.

Why would they change it back? I wish they would, but there haven't been enough complaints to bother appeasing us MMM fans. Besides, they would look pretty stupid to change it back a mere 3-4 months later.

The MMM additions will probably be runes (there are still some missing runes, including 14 of the 20 job runes). They still need to add Voucher 05 and, if they want, they can add even more vouchers from 08 to 99.

I think it had more to do with the release of ACP in the same update.
I've never had any problems doing the WoTG missions and quests with pickups except the ones that came at the same time as ACP. I'm still stuck on the last Bastok quest as a result...

[Stubwub]

I haven't been able to do any of the nation quests since the last update. Couldn't do them when they first came out, cause everyone wanted to finish ACP. Now I shout for hours and I still wont get shit.

I really hate shouting in whitegate to do these damn quests and missions. No one wants to do these. I still have not beaten Fire in the hole. Sandy and Windurst are the only nations lines I'm up to date with. Looks Like I'm going to fall behind yet again.

[Seraph]

For the most part, the problem is because only about 1/3rd of the population gives a shit about any one particular nation. I know that some people do all the Nation Quests, but I would make the educated guess and say most players (myself included) only stay up to date with the latest quest line for their Shadowreign Home Nation.

That means that you have a smaller than normal pool of idiots to choose from, considering up to this point there is no real reason to do them except minor rewards and story plot. It always seems the only time I see interest in them is when they first come out, and when Real Missions™ come along and they need to be finished to advance.

[BRP]

I know that some people do all the Nation Quests,

Those guys are pretty cool if you ask me
