This new stuff looks interesting for sure.
Agree!!
This isn't the first time that I've applauded the "new" FFXI management/development team @ S-E for their more proactive and transparent approach to their job. It seems they realized that they have eyes and ears, and that those organs could be used to garner information from the players that could be possibly used to improve player satisfaction and therefore increase retention.
Crazy concept, isn't it?
I only wish this management/development team had been put in charge of FFXI years earlier. Better late than never, though.

this is giving me an art ***
Haha!
I've never seen the term "art ***" before. Don't know if that's an original or if you borrowed the term from somewhere else, but either way, I laughed. +1.
:)
Pathetic. -1.

Almost looks like the areas you fight the celestial avatars. Going to be a long stretch but I would like to see some new avatars that we can use more than once every 2hrs.

I would hate more Avatars I could only use with a 2hour. I would love Avatars that i could use and Summon whenever.
Or maybe a mix of both :)!

looks like new gear too. Of the 3 standing there am pretty sure the one on the left is whm, they show a new cor can't remember what the others were.
I wonder what they are going to do to the RDM. I hate that new hat...on a taru it looks like someone's granddads hat from the 1800's...way too big.

Gilgamesh's name is already IN the game though. Unless he transforms into that or something, it probably won't be named Gilgamesh but the battle will rather allude to the fact that it's probably the one that roams the void.
Oh wait, I forgot he has the ability to morph forms. Nevermind lol

Because some users have recently decided to make a mockery of the "Report" feature by reporting posts by an author they dislike (e.g. me) rather than for its purpose, which is to flag posts that violate the rules/terms of use.

O.o i kinda assumed as soon as seeing this that it was the same place... I think part of the game lore is that when the "sleeping gods" (shiva ifrit garuda ramuh leviathin titan) awaken the world will end and return to the way it was before the mother crystal was broken or something like that... i'm kinda thinking another teir of avatar battle... maybe another mini expansion.

I quoted his post and read what he said. That wasn't worthy of a report in the least. In fact if people keep abusing the report feature and I were a mod, I'd start issuing warnings.

This is a video game forum.
There's almost nothing constructive here.

You state that my post wasn't constructive (however, it was constructive), and "deserved to be reported" based on that, and then you write, in caps:
"I WANT TO WEAR THIS ARES BODY ALL THE TIME OK" ...
come on.

Let's try to lay off the meta-discussions here, it's clogging up potential Gilgameshism.
That mob is likely to be Gilgamesh, or an homage at least (Pirate Gilgamesh throws everything off here). Voidwalking?
On the other hand, I'm still sticking with the whole "hindu" thing. Our multi-armed friend could easily be an Asura, another vague FF figure yet to be seen in FFXI aside from a server name.
Win-win situation, could be a shout out to both at the same time.
April – September 2011
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Three version updates are slated for this period.
Generally, major patches will see the release of new content, whereas minor patches will focus on the refinement of existing features. Job adjustments will form part of all version updates, though the scope of changes may vary.
May Major Version Update
“Voidwatch,” a new battle system designed with high-level adventurers in mind, will be introduced alongside new battlefields in order to reinvigorate existing areas. Rounding off the host of battle-related improvements planned for this patch is a major overhaul of Dynamis, which will include monster redistribution.
Playability-enhancing tweaks are also in the pipes, such as an auction house merger and delivery system improvements.
June Minor Version Update
This version update will revolve around fine-tuning content introduced in May.
August Major Version Update
The level cap will be raised to 95 and accompanied by a broad range of changes; new content and job abilities will be added, and existing ones adjusted. This penultimate stage in the level cap increase will usher in large-scale changes while preserving balance in anticipation of the impending final rise to level 99.
The test server will be launched as the testing and fine-tuning grounds for new content being planned, and can be considered a realm wherein adventurers can experience new features under development. More details regarding the server will be made available in the near future
July – September 2011: Test Server to Go Live
In conjunction with the test server, subforums dedicated to hosting player feedback will be established in the official forums, the two combining to mark the birth of a new development cycle as outlined below.
1) Content under development
2) Content announced via the test server and official forums
3) Testing
A) Player testing and feedback
B) Testing by Development and QA teams
4) Fine-tuning
Balancing and debugging based on the findings of step 3; test server updated
(*Repeat from step 2)
5) Version update released
October 2011 – March 2012
--------------------------------------------------------------------
With the introduction of the test server, we intend to shift from alternating between major and minor patches to more frequent version updates, each of which will host the latest fruit of the new development and testing cycle.
Version Update Highlights
Level cap increase to 99
New adventurer growth elements
Job adjustments
In-game systems:
-----
Voidwatch parts 3 and 4
The Last Stand (name TBA)
Dungeon crawling (name TBA)
New battlefields
New Grounds of Valor areas
New treasure casket areas
Monster redistribution
Fellows adjustments and additions
Level cap increase (95 and 99)
New summonable areas
Crafting adjustments and additions
Synergy: recipes to augment existing gear
Synthesis: skill cap increase
Playability enhancements
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Please keep in mind that items featured in the roadmap and their implementation schedule are subject to change. Further details about these and other new content will be released as soon as they become available, so stay tuned to the official channels.
