New Version Update March/2015

I like Incursion but with the last update they also made it entirely useless. You also need to have some sort of reward from the content or it's not going to normally be done. It's always a balancing scheme making content hard enough without blocking people out of rewards.

I just want new tactical content that uses a balanced party and the totality of the challenge doesn't consist entirely of "here's a mob with a lot of defense and HP throwing out constant donkey-raping, ***-eating TP moves that reset hate and lock your ability to function".

Edit: inversely, most of those VD battlefields can just be beaten with a superbuffed zerg. Not all, but many. That's not exactly ideal either.

Why do you even play this game anymore? Your posts read like you would have more fun playing Ms. Pacman. Serious question.

Btw

Never said I sold em, you made that part up on your own.

+ means together smart guy!

It means that in addition to running the content yourself, you buy drops from others in order to get the best gear.

That means you can go to the mall and try your little "thought experiment" out yourself because you're no different from anyone "hardcore."

I'd expect more from someone that regularly calls others obtuse.

O.o?

Your trying too hard man.

ftfy

Really? You mean you don't go home and tell your parents about the wicked augments you got?

Damn! I thought you were all about the rl card.

Or some kind of false sense of superiority....

The plot thickens!

Hobbies does drinking alone count as a hobby ?

I feel like drinking alone should always count as a hobby.

I think that's called "day-care."

and bucket loads of other additions and adjustments.


OP: Bucket loads of other additions translation login campaigns !

*amused* You remind me of a teacher I knew that said "If you aren't cheating, you don't care enough".
I did not find that a good example to be showing his students - again; in a position as a teacher to his students.

It is after the bst update so... maybe? I know as a drk I hope so.

Personally I don't like how their only method of making things difficult is inflating stats, especially evasion, to absurd levels to reduce your DPS. Whatever happened to challenging (not cryptic, but challenging) mechanics? HNMs in the early days weren't hard because you had floored accuracy, they were hard because they used threatening attacks or abilities that you had to prepare for and react to.

Dag I'm late to this party. Gonna summarize these events:

Saevel, this how you look right now:



Empyerean reforge:



If these use Rem chapters, then my original expectation that the REM name of the kid on the chapters as indicative of "Relic/Empyrean/Mythic" was accurate. Looking forward to RUN empyrean! Hope it looks gahlike.

Also new content sounds cool. For those who are hating on the skirmish augment bandwagon, oh well. I enjoy doing whatever content they release at the moment, and whatever rewards that are accumulated are just fiction anyway. If my augments become worthless soon, and i didn't make millions, who cares? the "millions of gil" you speak of are in-game currencies that have no real-life value, so nothing was really lost if I enjoyed the content and rewards that I have.

Stop being so morbid with the updates. We don;t know what to expect.

All I want is absorbs to not decay.

Forget the pipe dreams and genie-wishes you people seek to call from the universal ether.

You forgot to say that in your batman voice.

I don't care for Batman much.
He is more of a Ninja.


I was more of a fan of:

Those exist.

Players just cast Stun and they don't happen.

I prefer...

I prefer

And back in HNM days they didn't exist at all. People took forever because they had zero clue how game mechanics worked due to SE being completely obscure with them. Once enough tested had been done and game mechanics were known, everything boiled down to buffing a bunch of DPS and throwing them at the HNM while WHM's cured you and a PLD or two would be there in case you needed to hold it and recover. The best groups even started to low man those same HNMs. You'd have a RDM do CSS if there was a particularly deadly moment in time, sometimes multiple RDM's would chain it together. This game has never been difficult, the only difficulty existed in the metagame. Thankfully the EGLS monopoly on good gear was broken with Abyssea. Now the game is about small groups of players who know each other well and work together to accomplish stuff. No LS bank, no DKP, and no sack being a d!ck and giving the best loot to their friends. That probably pisses the vocal minority off the most, they can't keep other players from getting the same stuff they do.

Hoping they make it same process as the current AF/Relic reforging..

All the empy armor was based on Abyssea content yeah? So no need to make us fight delve and do skirmishes, legion w/e.

Hell this might even breathe a bit of life back into Abyssea if they do this right.

Abyssea was 80 and 85 cap before the final 90cap.
Voidwatch was 90cap on

It's not entirely unlikely that the 1st upgrade to 109 will require something Abyssea related, but for the 119 AF3 we will probably have to get either something entirely new or something related to the latest events (perhaps the new Skirmish?)

If you look at the mats that are required to upgrade AF1 and AF2, you will notice they start off from basic, common mats, to High Tier BCs/VW/Delve drops.

Pretty good chance, that the mats will be legion (scarletite/ormolu/staghorn) for 109 (yes 109 lame) and new event 119.

At, least, potentially... i highly doubt it will have anything to do with abyssea, unless we're talking kukulkan skins, regurgitated wings etc.

It's probably a good guess. That would explain the recent requirement changes to Legion ( 1 man entry iirc? )

If its the same pattern, lv109 empy will require itens that can be ah-able.

If it will really be an abyssea item, i just can think of some mega boss drops from first trio of abyssea that were used to craft: briareus, kulkulkan and glavoid. It would need to add some extra drops from others mega boss to fit all usual 5 kind.
