[dev1243] New Job Enhancements: Gifts

I'd love to have seen the Japanese version of this thread. We don't even honestly know if it wasn't the bitching that caused the Su gear to instantly become scrapped and turned into AH gear.

so your only using a certain job for a single, certain event. why you moaning anyways for a single(for now) side-grade(probability is high) piece. good grief. you went through whatever efforts it took to gear that job properly for said event righ? well then; this is no different. you don't have to gain those jp a certain single way.

your also talking out of both sides of your mouth. you're saying some jobs you never take to events; then why you giving a damn about some su peice of equipment for it then. its for the people who've proven themselfs worthy to have that piece of equip. It's for people who don't just play a job for a single event. It's for the people who don't use that job selfishly just to say they 'have' it. If the SU piece of gear is really 'that' game changing you will do what it takes to get it.

Did you ever think that just, just; maybe that is the GOAL & THE reason for implementing new gear this way; to entice people to go pug meriting. it will help with people constantly having merits to spend on HTBCNMs wich in turn livens up the shout community tons

If the SU equips are really that game changing; you WILL see cap points PT's being put together immediately and often once they are released because you all will be in the same boat. this will liven up shouts for HTBCNMs. all-around is a good thing. it's something different. new. and exciting. anything new from monthly updates at this point in the game is a bonus. They are adding and adjusting content every update. if this month's flavor doesn't fit your set-in-stone gaming routine then dgaf

You've got me confused with someone else dawg. I've ALREADY got 50 JP spent on every job I play.

This has literally zero effect on me, whatsoever. I just think it's HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.

Maybe you should visit the first page of this thread, and see that I have 4 jobs 60/60 w/ 200 spare JP.

Edit, I'll save you the effort.

Since when has gear ever been about actually completing things? You can basically complete anything in this game with 117 gear at this point.

I wonder what we have to do to get the Superior gear itself, sure 50 JP's to equip, but god knows what you gotta do just to get something like that.

this is the real question and should be the topic of this thread. lol

No my friend, it isn't in the current FFXI Devs capacity to implement anything fun and lasting.

So after the upcoming update, please look forward to more JP grinding, more easily crafted superior equipment, and a high-tier version of some random already existing NM. The first NM SE spots from the list I imagine.

But hey, with all the NMs this game has, SE has content right there to squeeze out another year, assuming people don't, god forbid, wise up.

Pants on head is the new norm

GUYS! I organize a capacity point party last night. 2 blue 2 sam white mage red mage and it was fun. we went to doh gate basement. got like 7 job points in 1.5 hours.

I mean it was FUN. i'm not kidding. we don't make gil but we make progression on our characters. Solo is of coz boring. and u can bring anyone. summoner beastmaster warrior dark. if u have 1 sam it can carry the whole team to quick cap points.

guys try it before u complain. with that said. I hope the superior armors are nice. because I don't mind spending a week getting that 50 jps for those superior armors

Problem is there is only one camp there that can support that. If someone is already at crab / fish camp then your only other choice is the Velk camp which sucks due to their TP moves. SE needs to reorganize monsters in Cirdus / Doh / Woh to be more similiar to what we see in Abyssea. One of the reasons Abyssea was such a great XP camp was that the monsters were sectioned off from each other with fast repops and plentiful numbers. Dungeon area's are too narrow and restrictive space wise, hard to make lots of good camps. The current overland area's don't really lend well to party based XP camping, they focused too much on making them "Reive" compatible. Hopefully we'll get new area's with basic monsters that are campable instead of narrow area's filled with monsters that do sh!tty debuffs.
