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

[spooky]

GiveN up all hope on SE, so I'm just going to chip in with: This update will be utter shit, and much over-hyped, just like all the last ones.

PROVE ME WRONG SE! PROVE ME WRONG!

[Damane]

I am excited that they are finally putting in some new(old) zones into WotG. Hopefully they put in the body pieces too and let the sets be stored by NPCs ¬.¬

[Quetz_Jamal]

New (S) areas = possible new ANNM fights too...which means another possible item that will be now more readily available...

Is the diaper just for show or do you still piss yourself?

[blackmail]

Holy shit this. I'm getting sick of everyone shouting "Goliard/Denali/Weapons Cast Lots!" >_>

Also getting real fucking sick of of 1st floor = family = chariots... followed by leader = chariot.... fuck you SE >.>


I hope the campaign bodies (and the final set bonuses) are actually decent. Christ we've been waiting them for so long. Same goes for the medals too. I've been capped at 90 XP/Minute for... what, a year now? Seriously, the new medals had better raise the EXP caps substantially.

Or is 10k/hour really that unreasonable given how shitty merit parties are? (And I don't mean in terms of the EXP/hour, I mean the grinding endlessly on birds)


I'm beginning to think they'll never instance dynamis, or shorten it. They've contemplated it before, but with FFXIV looming over our heads it seems like they're just saying "ah, fuck it" and just going with what they already planned out for this year.


Finally, here's hoping new avatars are Odin & Alex, or Phoenix and Bahamut. None of which are terribly likely but hey, you never know with our SPED dev team.

Christmas list? I get the sneaking suspicion that will complain no matter what...

My group is bleeding Askar. I'll take moar Goliard any day of the week.

Secret hope: they say 'welp, we got a year left, fuck it let's ditch the grind and make this mother fucker fun'

get rdy for beaucedine (s) to be the only new accessible field-
gogo fall update !

Then in 2010 we'll get Xarca? Pimp.

[ronin sparthos]

Predictions!

-BLM finally gets that update that brings it back up to undisputed top-tier nuker along the lines of WHM patch. SCHs cry foul and demand a boost after said update.

-NIN gets a new JA that does little to change the jobs current standing.

-BST gets some new jugpets that do little to change the jobs current standing.

-SE introduces Beau/Xarc (S) but at the same time nerfs the potential EXP in Campaign yet again.

Anyways... the lack of being able to obtain Salvage materials has bothered me. You have alot of Rampart reinforcements that get spit out and have no drops outside of the stray cells. Why not have rampart monsters give a chance of dropping raw upgrade materials for the gear? Archaic Machinery already have Alexandrite, toss upgrade mats on reinforcements. The drop rate doesn't have to be ridiculously high either, just something like the droprates for items in Dynamis.

P.S - It'd make no pop Bhaflau alot less of a chore if you walk away with say... 2 Bloodwood Logs and a Khroma ore.

[Cog]

will there be a feiyin_s and a beaucedine_s ?
then theres xarca_s and Zvahlkeep_s also zvahlbail_s
walk of echos, and throne room (s)

we wont get them all

According to those who have viewed Beau (S), there seems to be an avalanche blocking off the path that leads to Fei'yin. We'll likely get two Maws though and maybe Recall-Beau.

Id bet next update introduces the entire icelands and the following update after that toys with the Walk of Echoes which seems to be some sort of endgame event. The last episode of Lilisette and pals seems to hint at use of the icelands anyway.

Hopefully Castle Z throws in a SCNM system and the iceland zones are useful for something other than Campaign Battles. An HNM would be nice but who am I kidding.

Interested in seeing how SE explains events that will happen the northlands (dissapearing NPCs) or if they continue the altered timeline to explain away what should happen.

[Sady]

I remember asking during the last update's discussion. There is, unfortunately, no Fei'yin [S] in the dats. Recall that you fight Shiva there so it's a zilart zone... =(

All of those except Fei'yin are in the .dats already.

[Cog]

so can beaucedine have T-VT mobs, and xarc/zvahl will have VT-ITs and new NMs included on release? (would be breaking their pattern of wotg release, but please)
not happening, they will give us access but won't add NMs until later as they have before. Their focus should be on tweaking campaign to get people into the fight and greatly increasing exp for fighting in enemy strongholds. i predict we won't get castle zvahl this time.

Recall that you fight Shiva in the Cloister of Frost.

Also recall that you do Mission 5-1 in Qu'Bia Arena, prior to defeating Shadow Lord in Mission 5-2. Which is a pre-Zilart mission.

Granted there will be some kinda gargoyle mobs in those zones, i predict stupidity involving said monsters TP moves. It'll be like Peistes except even more retarded and ideally true-sight.

One can hope viable EXP will be possible in these zones but I really doubt anythings going to change after this patch drops outside two new places to complain about Campaign.

[Mizango]

Every patch has the potential to be awesome, they 90% of the time disappoint though. They will open Icelands but not Walk of Echoes at a guess.

Not talking about blind potential, any chance of opening Northlands is win-win.

Semantics etc...

[Starr]

win-win why? they could be just zones with mobs in too hard to merit on, yay more campaign cus people need the points?

[Mizango]

Semantics.

Nothing I cant handle, then again I ain't no bitch. Smells like Darwinism to me.
