lv99 bitch/speculation/etc thread

thf will go on strike if they get stuck on the backline.

"NO MELEE NO TH" will be on the picket signs.

Treasure Hunter II = lv 45, just make a melee sub thief.

[Vacht]

Its come too late, all my friends quit because WOTG has trickled out too slow for their liking

totally. with XIV on the horizon im not going back. plus i dont have my PS2 anymore.

so THF/RDM or /COR will be able to refresh people....

there goes any hope of them being able to DD or do something constructive. THF might be even more of a TH/backline bitch :/

oh man, fuck that.. being thf we dealt with so much abuse that we just had to be 'cool' with. this takes it to a whole new level. "Hey dude we know you leveled and merited like crazy to get your thf where it is, but could you sub red mage and wear mp gear and your TH stuff and stand to watch? youll get the title! our regular red mage is going war for dmg, so you can refresh, kthx."


I think the only thing i would want to do is get thief to 99 to see what i could solo, but honestly after soloing something that used to be VT or IT id be like, cool! and then log off forever.

Now you'll know what's it like to be a cor

Friend just pointed this out to me, has no one noticed this yet?

Synergy
Whereas the recipes added in past version updates have centered on traditional synthesis, from here on players can expect a shift of focus to synergy. The new batch of new recipes scheduled for March will include new warp items and more!

Future version updates will usher in an even greater variety of heretofore unseen items. Luxurious furnishings such as guild tables and extravagant musical devices, potent and powerful equipment, and much more await skilled synergists. An elemental staff-type weapon boasting multiple effects is among the unique new articles being considered.

Going hand in hand with synergy is the evolith system, and the coming version updates will see these remarkable stones appear in ever-new and extensive varieties. What’s more, evolith will become available via treasure caskets with the next version update, making it easier than ever for adventurers to enter the exciting world of customizable gear!

Multiple effect = +5earth m.atk, +5 thunder m.atk


Sorry for not believing they will ever outdate HQ staves. I'm going to wait until they actually do it, because its not the first time they don't hold their promise (not that I will complain if they ever do!)

Be interesting if they let you combine them or something.

[Eleven19]

I'm with Kaylia, though I'm a little more optimistic about it. I might even buy that for COR finally

After so many years, it really is time I think. With all the other changes this could actually be it for HQ staves.

[Siatdiat]

Wait and see, probably will combine HQ staves into single staves in some way, but the level of the staff you create will be 75+. In other words, for level cap shit or leveling another mage job you will still want additional HQ staves to use. lol.

[Klutz]

Just got here, did I miss any youmad?!

+ Enmity cap
+ DDs doing more damage at 99
+ Therefor, harder to hold hate with a limited cap
+ DRG has hate shedding abilities
+ New best DD for HNM?

And we come with our own Angon.

[Marcicus]

clearly the best DD for HNMs will be PUP. all that's left to do is give BB to PUP and delete MNK from the game.

Thank you. I haven't laughed this hard all day.

I mentioned it on another forum but it didn't lead to any real discussion, although the playerbase has been asking for something like it for a long time.

My guess it will involve combining either a set of 6 elemental staves, or a full set of 8, probably all NQ. We'll get potency and magic accuracy equivalent to an NQ staff, but the special effects of each staff will get dropped, is what I'm guessing.

This is what I see, or the HQ will only have the same effect as the NQs combined into one.

The hate cap being raised is something I'm pretty sure will happen as the level cap increases. Otherwise you'll see the wonky hate that "lower level" NMs like Roc exhibit.

[Tempestwolf]

Happy they're raising cap, and I do not see them putting a level cap on anything else. Think about it, they are even taking the level cap off PM's. On top of that, this seems like a long term plan. They know people will quit eventually, the only way to keep people playing overtime, is to give them the ability to do more, with less people. Eventually were going to have LS's of 12 because others quit moved on, got banned for some credit card error, etc etc. It's going to happen, and SE needs a way to keep those groups of 12 playing.

[Stromgarde]

Not to say that it's not a possibility, but everywhere they've mention lifting the level restriction on CoP, it's been in the context of areas, not the BCNMs themselves. Granted, in some situations (i.e. Sacrarium, Aqueducts) it's the same thing, but given SE's track record do you really think we'll be that lucky?

[NynJa]

Theres still a LOT of people who havent even unlocked sea, yet have made it all the way through ToAU and WoTG, what does that tell you?

[Corrderio]

Didn't they say "all" areas though? Either way even if they keep the cap there's at least an alternative for SB now. Not as good but meh, better than no haste.
