inb4: BD, VoS, Aery lvl 75 cap upon entrance of zone. God islands also caps. Oh but hush hush people, SE is lurking teh BG threads for ideas.

[Spyre]

Or maybe they'll make every NM an Absolute Virtue.

Speaking of which, will this mean Absolute Virtue will finally be put on a farming status at lvl 99?

Inc:
"AV was meant to be the hardest boss in the game and as such we have decided to raise his level and further buff him as to have his difficulty scaled with the new level cap." ~SE

[Hellfury]

I um... eh... damn?

And here I thought I had successfully quit a year ago.


edit: Wonder what this'll do for relic weapons with an army of 99s storming in (unless it'll be 75 capped). Granted, there will probably be significantly stronger other weapons (or maybe just customization will deal with it), but unfinished business and all that

Sooooooo we'll be having to chain Tiamats and Fafnir's for merits now >.> That's possibly the funniest thought I've ever had involving FFXI

Cerberus ppl REPRESENT

Also, might've missed it somewhere but can only ONE job be level'd above lv 75 ?

[Cail]

The wyrm/dragon thing looks awesome

I didn't see them mentioning any such restriction

Good, cause I saw a post here SOMEWHERE saying it did, happy to know its bs

My thoughts.

1. SMN got setup hardcore with their new avatars
2. PUP now with an A H2H rating is awesome
3. The thought of 99COR makes me wetter than any country under a Tsunami warning ATM
4. Tempted to come back now to see if there's any good shells on new Bismark that know what they're doing.

[Silenka]

My thoughts are kind of opposite.

SMN gets yet another semi-useless ability, this time one that can only be used every 2 hours and will likely have very limited usage. What good is a new pony if I can't run around with it like a dork?

PUP just beat the living shit out of MNK. MNK was on its way out before, this was NOT the way to keep the job alive. This makes me want to level PUP even more than I did before, and I can hear my MNK, having hoped for its revival, rolling in its fresh grave.

Ok I will concede the victory to you on 99COR. Shit yeah.

I'm still not too sure about the Lv99 cap, I'm afraid of FFXI going the way of older MMOs that just keep growing in character levels until the game is no longer fun or even challenging. But I'll give it a chance to prove itself, first, before I condemn it entirely.

I know the new avatar thing is omgcool but I don't think it is. You get to use odin/alex for 3 minutes every 2 hours. Big freakin deal.

[Corrderio]

Maybe setup wasn't the best word to use. More like pwned in the face.

[Avarice]

I'm guessing SMNs will probably be getting a string of new blood pacts on the way up to 99.

Maybe, or might just adjust BPs again.

[frodnonnag]

odin is going to be damn near useless in endgame, since on NMs it's only going to do damage. the only way it could even be remotely useful is if it does % damage, and a large portion at that.... oh wait we have that, in diabolos's 2hour, and it sucks.

alex might give us a spot in DD zerging, or tanking when shit goes crazy, but meh.

the real potential i see is breaking 460+ summoning magic, the potential for new tiers on avatar favors like diabolos, and pet attack augments on noteworthy gear.

oh, and if they have to replace predator claws, it goddamn better be another pact on garuda, i don't want to stare at a jockstrap or an old man all day.

[Avarice]

jockstrap

I've found Titan not to be so bad once you change the way he looks.
