lv99 bitch/speculation/etc thread

[Taggerung]

why is everyone being retarded about how subs are going to work when we don't even know for sure wtf is even going to happen? Who knows, maybe you can only be uncapped in the new areas, maybe not. too much speculation, not enough facts.

the cap wont be raised to 99 in one update alone.
for the last time, SAM WILL NOT DUAL GK'S. look at the picture a little better.
rdm/nin can tank anything they want. hell, a whm could if they had thf or /thf assistance.
remember when pup was thought to be a tank? psh..


Fact:
SE scews up a lot of updates, what makes you think this one won't be?
Try to think back to the sam update, when Nid could be destroyed in 5 WS.

That was the only entertaining update in years.

Job specific bosses for the final level cap please.


DRK-Zeid
DRG-Erpalacion
WAR-Raogrim
SAM-Gilgamesh


Can't think of others but yeah oh and I guess DNC, SCH, BLU, PUP, COR are outta luck cuz they have job specific fights already

VS the lead chars in wotg plot cept in present? I don't know many of there names but Im failry certain there's close to 1 of each job.

I really wonder about campaign also. ATM shit dies so quick -.-, can only imagine with 50000 lvl 99's like there are 500000 now beating on mobs with 5 hp.

Without derailing this into a RDM tanking thread, RDM can hold hate very well. Dispel, cure4, sleep, bind, blind... it has pleanty of hate tools available to it.

What it doesnt have is something like sentinal or invincable to give large amounts of VE instantly, but this isn't generally a problem, unless the mob hate resets frequently.

Just a small nitpick...

Dispel is one of the worst MP:enmity ratio spells you can use when rdm tanking ;D

Just a small nitpick: it's one of the only 3 (offensive) CE spells and has the smallest recast. It allows you to max hate very quickly.

if there is gonna be a final fight they could use the campaign npc's that have relic weapons
, Wolfgang, Balrahn, Deganhard(maats dad/boyfriend). Or there might not be a fight at all.
But I would assume they would do something outstanding for last cap.

First thing i do when i hit 99 pld is solo alpha gnole, fuck that bitch.

Surprised theres no bitching about people having just spent the 20 bucks to transfer to a server only to find out they're merging right back XD

Edit: Speaking of which for 20 bucks I suppose one can change their characters name right now if your on a merging serv, just make a mule with same name on your destination server and change your chars name...

I'm still confused how some people are just realizing this. There have been people reserving names, creating mules to change their own or screw over others practically since the announcement happened.

rxcited about the possibility of balancing reward vs effort in ff11 for once.

PW drops like 4 PW exclusive items and requires 40 ppl to kill lol. Now he requires maybe 1 full alliance and they can farm ZNMs like sky LS farm kirin and its balanced now. 4 items for 18 ppl to farm sounds a little more fair.

Serkets and Cassies and Rocs and KA etc used to require an alliance and are low manned as the gear becomes obsolete. I am hoping some noobs or ppl who have dreamed about ebodies and ridills can enjoy them now while low manning nidhoggs with 3-4 ppl lol. The most exciting news is the fact the NEW zones will have to be released in order to reach lvl 99 and the new expansions are EXPANSIONS cause they have NEW ZONES and not shitty add-ons which were just $10 QUESTS with no new zones.

I am looking forward to how DIFFERENT the jobs will play out too. Will THF and RDM be full time tanks at 99 and not be needed for just TH4 and healing... Will NIN outclass PLD on most mobs if they get utsusemi:SAN and good enmity moves? Will WAR be able to full-time tank as WAR/NIN or WAR/PLD or some retarded combination not known yet maybe WAR99/DNC49 ftw!? NIN/MNK counterstance plus utsusemi:SAN with faith hands!?

I'm just guessing a bunch of new stuff will be headed our way in terms of how we play our jobs post 75. They are removing all level caps from the zones that have it btw... so I assume you can use lvl 99 anywhere not including CAPPED BCNMs/KSNMs (might be lvl 75 cap for ksnms).

It would only be worth leveling to 99 if they kept the HNMs they have now at the same level to wear we can lowman them since the population even with merges is not the same as it was in its prime. This will open new doors for new monsters and new zones and new exp camps. (hopefully a BUNCH of roaming camps like mamook and kings ranperre's tomb, which I liked alot). Maybe even level up to 80 in Castle Z (S) and Xarcarbard (S). Might wanna start selling my 5mil+ items now just in case and buy them back later if worst case they are the same price.

So you're looking forward to your own predictions and suspicions? Cool story bro. I've never seen so much opinion and speculation.

Sadly, that's what this thread it about.

[Seanr]

Gtype makes sense....
but fuck all this noise. I'm off to play XIV in 10 days :D

you didnt expect anything more from gtype did u? i mean idk the guy but most of his posts are wall o text filled with pure rubbish.

[Xeca]

everyone seems to think in there own way about the cap raise but yet we dont know what its going to be like we should just all wait and see and then /complain

[Neosutra]

I dont mind all the speculation, it's nice to be imagining new things for the game finally.

And Im just happy that I can see my Pld/Mnk/Nin/other <3 jobs actually being lvl 99 with brand new merits/JAs, higher combat skills/stats, and a plethora of possibilities for what I can do to push them to the max.

Not to mention augmenting excal/aegis.. For the fucking win.

[Draylo]

Yeah its nice to see speculation and excitement instead of the retarded people coming in and saying "dead game"

[Spira]

dead game casted Reraise III

This is what excite me the most about the update. Let's face it, after 6-7 years at 75 and very little change to the game mechanics, theory crafting and strategy design has reached a dead end.

With level 99, we will have to rethink everything (or at least, a lot).

[arus2001]

Gonna mirror the sentiment for liking all of this for basically reinventing the wheel. I just hope people let this make the game fun again instead of, once caps are done and raised, we're back to now just with 24 more levels under our belts and higher skill caps. As is, I think people are already looking too hard for fictional downsides like 1 job to 99, a false sense of overpowered-ness for some abilities, old zones being capped, or current HNMs getting scaled. Given SE's recent blurb, the simplest interpretation of the announcement really is what we're getting. No tricks. Added bonus is stuff like CoP zone caps getting lifted and new zones/content on the horizon to match this increase.
