Version Update (11/9/09)

[Arcanesoul]

I may be reading this wrong, but I think you missunderstood how Ready works. Admitedly, there's a lot of assumptions in how people think it works, but they are somewhat logical. So here's how it should work:

- Ready opens a list of abilities, each having a charge price next to them.

- The charges you have accumulated define which of these moves are accessible. They don't (seem to) limit what you can choose. If you don't have enough charges for a certain ability, it should show greyed out or whatever other visual coding of this.

- It's unknown if Ready has a timer, but it seems to imply there is not. We do not know if Ready can be used with 0 charges though, it likely cannot unless one of the menu entries is "Random, 0 charges". This does mean we lose the effect of the old Sic. Sadly, it seems to mean Sic merits are even worse than before (unless they affect charge load timers, but this is very unlikely since it has not been mentioned at all in the notes).

- It implies that the price of an ability will be deducted from the curent charge amount. It's not said directly, but we have DNC as an example of this system.

Anyway, it's quite better than what you seem to have understood of it.

It seems I did miss where SE stated that ""Ready" will allow you to select a specific ability for the pet to use from its arsenal". Ok. Now it does make it more appealing. Thank you. I'm not going to look back to see where I got my original thoughts from.

Sic merits might also reduce Ready charge timer. Or maybe they won't. I guess we'll find out.


Based on what? Certainly not the preview notes.

OK, I give up. It's blatantly obvious that you never read the preview notes that explained Ready in the first place, and instead decided to just come in this thread and start mashing Reply.

Thanks for the link.., I'd explain my reasoning further to your "based on what?", but since I was wrong, there's no point. I assume you're following the same thing Shassira said. And yes I like to mash reply.

What the shit is this?

What the shit is this?

It's been explained earlier. They're separate. English Version only relates to stuff below it regarding name changes for armour. The queue thing is for all language clients. It caught many of us off guard.

[Fiofio]

What update guys? I don't see any update.

[Kobb]

So uhhh, anyone else's Windower borked post-update?

Windower not working, and the windower site is telling me I am forbidden from accessing the site.

Screw w/e the update added, give me back my windower.

I think they nerfed that part of ranger so relic RNGs won't get pissed about their precious Namas arrow tbh.

and LOL at that synergy pic.

nah, i'm betting that they did it because they didn't want RNG to be able to go balls to the wall and not get hate. I really wanted the enmity down, but I'm betting they thought it would be overpowered. Then they'd just have to nerf ranger again

For San d'Oria, talk to Rholont to start off. After the scene, go to the chocobo stables and talk to... I forget his name, but it's the Elvaan with the long D name. After that, zone into Beaucedine Glacier (S) from Batallia Downs (S). Bring a fishing rod with you, btw... I regretted it.

Fishing Rod and a Flint Stone, you'll need that as well, along with the ability to sneak/invis yourself around the zone.

We just finished the updated Sandoria-S quest series, reward is a Ram Staff with Retrace: San d'Oria on it.

[Kaylia]

Are the quest over, or it's not conclusion yet?

More like is WotG done

I seriously hope they don't stretch this shit out until 14 comes out

[Redivider]

The name of the following equipment item has been adjusted for consistency:
Dobson Bandanna => Dobson Bandana

The most epic part of the update

This, my friend, is correct. They plan to continue doing more updates to Wings of the Goddess till Winter of 2010. So don't expect Wings of the Goddess storyline to be finished till about November of 2010. And now I'm not 100% sure but I believe that we will not see any sort of new avatar until the very end of the Wings of the Goddess storyline. So yeah, 2010 here we come.

[Infini]

All ill say is these underwhelming updates make me more glad i left for aion. Some nice stuff but that should have been fixed years ago. As it stands FFXI is over the hill and bar a major old school update that might attract ppl back theres only gonna be diehards left in a year or two. And lol at yet another stupid nerf to save AV.

You know they're going to since they don't got shit for XI after XIV comes out.
