Version Update Sneak Peek (07/17/2009)

[Zilong]

I do wish that they'd develop musical conversion out of this bell for other instrument like they have in Mabinogi of sort.

[The Q]

If Square Enix really wanted us to play music they should implement a proper system and add more instruments. The only MMO I know that did it properly is Mabinogi which lets you compose your own music and play it.

YouTube - Mabinogi - Final Fantasy III battle theme

Compared to that our /bell command with only 6 macro lines is erm kinda.....useless? xD

Lord of the Rings Online does this and much much better.

A long standing tradition of Alla, iirc, is that people post fake/joke shit on Fridays, and they've become known as Friday posts.

Today pissed so many people off, we actually had no Friday thread today. Even the mods over there are posting "WTF" threads in the SE messagebox section.

And here I thought it was your guy's idea.

[LinkNZ]

Omg, wow, the fact that they actually went out of their way to make this a 'teaser', there are no words lol.



I mean, if they're gonna waste their development time on stupid bell crap, why not add some new tunes for Bard??? Why not add different pitch or customization crap for us to make semi-unqie tunes for our playing?

You know, an actual job used by hundreds that would think hey that's kinda cool instead of a stupid bell next to no one even has/cares about. I bet 95% of the game playing population doesn't even HAVE THE ABILITY TO HEAR THE BELLS TURNED ON OR EVEN KNOW THAT YOU CAN TURN ON THE SOUNDS. >_>

I still think they should add enhancements to specific damage types, like Piercing should ignore a base percent of defense and the like, but these are just a madman's dreams

[Xellith]

Grats to the 3 people who have bothered to get Ebisu Rods......

Hopefully Curry Buns will be decent.

Cheese sandwich
Food Effects: (30 minutes, All Races)

* HP +10
* Agility +1



I doubt the curry buns are gonna be useful.

Yes, let's give a damage type that gets 25% boost to more enemies than the other 2 melee damage combined even more boost.

On an related note, SAM does seem not overpowered as it used to be, maybe they should fix that too.

[BRP]

If Curry buns are made from Curry they will probably be pretty good or at least look pretty good on paper.

[GreenKnux]

I'm gonna throw in an extended version of my 2 cents.

Yes, I still play FFXI. Yes, I probably still will for a while longer. No, just because I still continue to spend money on it, that doesn't mean I have no right to complain. There are other reasons to play outside of bad game updates and service.

But when it comes down to it, that's the problem. The GM's are worthless. But maybe that's because they aren't allowed to do anything and aren't given all the information. If this is the case, their bosses are to blame. But maybe they can't give the GM's power because they are powerless themselves. Maybe it's the Developer's faults. Maybe it's their bosses's faults. Hell, maybe it's even the leaders of SE, or SE as a whole who is to blame. The point being, no matter who is powerless, who is doing their best, and who can't help it, there is someone at SE who is causing these problems, and the fact that it's still happening after all these years has shown just how much of a problem this is.

I will not claim to know how to fix the problems plaguing SE. I will not claim that I can do it better. But god dammit, someone can. I won't be playing FFXIV, because I know it will be more of this. I think this is my last MMO. I have to wonder if anyone important is even going to read this, or if we are all simply shouting at each other.

You could have saved yourself the time and posted just this

...Are you serious?
*blinks* My eyes... I must be seeing things.
Oh right... Usukane in the avatar. *puts two and two together* You must be a Samurai.

Oh

you seem to have been born without a sense of sarcasm, irony, or humor, I'm sorry

[FenreyVarn]

I know the FFXI math works for that, but

GDI, PIZZA COMES IN EIGHT SLICES!

A LARGE PIZZA COMES IN 12, SO HA. :]

[Fridell]

I do wish that they'd develop better and orchestrated music in FFXI

Fixed.

Didn't figure this merits it's own thread. I don't know what site the POL updates are posted, so I copypasta'd screen shots >.>

I think maybe SEs translators had some issues with the concept "teasers" >.> ;;

Nah, I think they're just teasing rly.

I was just giving 1 example, each damage type should, imo, be enhanced to make them more diverse, for example perhaps against living enemies slashing type weapons could leave bleed effects when you crit or something along those lines?

maybe blunt damage could have a small chance to stun on crits? idk, just throwing ideas out lol.

[Knyghtmayre]

I'm at least content with the prospect of another food that isn't absofuckinglutely useless. Sure, the market for it will be ruined within a week, but fuck it, if this turns red curry into something that is worth using (right now it isn't even practical), maybe I'll actually care about getting to 100 since it won't be spending 70k/synth (IF I can find dragon meat) for no one to buy it ever. But who knows, it could go horribly wrong. I'm hoping they add in more curries to do it with honestly.
