LOL, truth.

It won't be stuck in that once they reforged AF3. You see the AF2? Hopefully they put some -DT on the AF3 lol

Lucky! I was given a sweet baked apple...

when will servers be up?

From what I've read you have to kill atleast one NM to get to the next level? I'm just don't like running around killing stuff and not know what's going on lol. I have a general idea oh where to go in the Lv123 version, but I feel like it's extremely hard almost impossible to 6man. I think dropping the COR and bringing in GEO would definitely help us because those damn Velkks like to strip buffs.

Yep, GEO seems to be very useful. They constantly dispel... its annoying.

Did WoE #7 when it surged. I got a brew but it still took us 30 minutes and we died countless times. Was really fun, though.

Did 2 level 123 incursions to mess around this morning. First time we went in with me as Relic Warrior, a dual box paladin and bard and a summoner. We died a few times but managed to kill all the mobs before the 5 in the nm room. Changed the summoner to a white mage then we had no deaths and killed all but the nm, which we timed out on.
I think if we would have had a dedicated bard and another heavy dd, such as a samurai we would have been able to kill the nm. Mobs have varying amounts of high hit points. Some seem to have protect/shell buffs etc. They do a spin move that causes defense down and a slide move that locks weapon slots. Very annoying.
Depending on how the well the difficulty scales per party member this amy be a better suited for a large group where you would bring rotating support, geomancers, red mages etc..

Someone said can augment jse capes. Really? If so how?

You get them randomly for the treasure chests in Incursion.

Not a lose/lose for me. I have been ejoying each update that has come out, people should try not having expectations and just enjoy ***as it happens. Hell try and actually have a appreciation for the work they are putting in. Being negative or positive is a choice must of you just come across a super bitter and stuck.

Oh good. Here come my awesome white mage, geomancer, and puppetmaster capes.

We did a few incursions last night (lvl 123). Our most successful runs were done with WHM BRD SAM SAM SAM MNK, though I'm sure any good DD's would work. Basic strategy was to get close enough to a group of enemies for a few of them to notice us and then pull them back, have the BRD sleep them and take them out 1 by 1. Rinse, repeat. For NM's, probably best to have 1 person hold the NM as they can't be slept and treat the adds similarly to any other pull. We tried using PLD but with the initial hate being so random and the normal enemies die relatively quickly, PLD probably can't effectively supertank and not much point in holding the peons. I can see its usefulness on the NM's, but I'm not certain it's worth bring PLD just for those.

In other news, the map appears to follow this: http://www.bg-wiki.com/bg/File:Cirdascomposite.jpg

I didn't have too much time to play yesterday, but I now that one NM spawns near the top, in the room to the right of the uppermost loop room (Muyingwa's room). Another spawns on the far east side of the map - I'm not sure which chamber, however it is most likely one of the northern ones. Unfortunately I wasn't able to pin down where you start either, so this information may not be as useful until that's determined. I believe it's somewhere in the upper portion of the map, possibly near the horizontal center. If anyone has more information on this or wants to do some research we could probably come up with a decent map (I'll be at work most of the day...)
Or if there is already a marked map and I've just been wasting my time, I'd love to see that as well.

Is there an Offline update files to download somewhere? Currently on limited data and want to at least enjoy the campaign.

Augmented BLU cape from Incursion.

While I'm sure seeing that will likely please some, there is a separate thread all about the capes.
