Nothing interesting. They really need to ease the orthodox game system / make it more welcoming for new players and returning players.


1. Put a search function on the AH, (the AH system is the most horrible i ever seen on any mmorpg)
2. Label vendor/important npcs so people don't have to guess where to go.
3. Make it possible to skip cutscenes (this one seems impossible to do)
4. Ability to change races and names (very possible to do with the current code).
5. Add rings/neck/earrings and back pieces available to purchase using records of eminence currency.
6.Give hints where to find items for LB quests or abolish the entire oldschool cap quests line
7. Merge/consolidate all the empty servers into 3-5

Not the topic for this.
Also changing name has been availible since.. Ever.

Surprised to see Emp119 BRD hands beaten for magic accuracy. The magic skills+18 on new marduk would be giving +18 to all of singing, wind and stringed, making them BRD's new best macc hands.

-MDT is cute, but MDT is ridiculously easy to soft-cap for mages (and everyone else).

What game do you think the devs play while at work? It's not FFXI, that's for sure.

Holy ***that's a lot of Magic Evasion / MDB with some MDT splashed for ~whatever~. This is actually a very good thing as the hardest fights in the game have NM's that use moves with ranges over 20 feet. Our WHM's frequently get hit by dumb stuff and just have to shrug it off. This gives WHM's Rune Fencer levels of durability against magic attacks.

I get why they did it, they were following in the trend of Sulev gear, btu it was a bad idea. The regen can be used for all jobs listed on their, including BRDs (you can regen others too!)

heavy DD set got dt/offensive stats. Mage set got all of the magic defensive stats, including hp/mp. Its cute, but not practical. Just looks like more entry level 119 gear.

Welp, there go my hopes of new nuking gear for my mages. I guess I'll reactivate in July, instead.

It's not like mages need the most help with new gear atm... I kinda figured they'd be last since they already the prince and princess jobs of the game right now.

I hate to see that it's all been going (relatively) downhill from Sulevia's. Still definitely picking up a couple of these pieces, though.

I don't play any of these jobs atm (and haven't since 99) but I'll be picking up all of them, and it'll go on Storage Slip 23, just like Usakane did--which was so spectacular I haven't bothered to learn the name.

This set is at least better than that monstrosity they tried to pass off as Usukane. I am still in awe at how tremendously they *** up that set.

7. Merge/consolidate all the empty servers into 3-5
8. Add detailed information such as: critical damage %, critical hit rate, accuracy rate and so on.

Not the place for this!!!

1. Stop Crying, if you don't like it go play WOW or 14.

2. Get Good

3. See Step 2 and repeat as needed.

That's exactly what the Ambuscade sets are. Sets to hold you over until you can get Escha/Reisenjima stuff.

A piece with any sort of pet stats at all. This set has one, why didn't it have anything at all for PUP?

That's a pretty stupid amount of magic evasion and magic def. bonus on the Marduk. Geez.
Ya worth it for that alone imo! 575 magic evasion and 41 MDB. The prior best I knew of is augmented telchine for 531 magic evasion and 25 MDB and I already knew people that would use such a set to do things like avoid stuns even landing on sovreign behemoth... I think it's a good set, heavy armor set was for PDT, Marduk set is for MDT and magic evasion.

uh

Considering that 1 meva = 1% reduction in magic hitrate, that's actually a very practical set. Mages can cap PDT without armor slots if they need to opt for a hybrid set, and it's not like WHM or BRD need to lock their weapons anyway. If you can stack meva accessories too then that's really quite an impressive defensive set, well above what most jobs can muster right now.

That's all Ambuscade is really for from what I've seen. I believe they even said that they made it accessible to everyone for that reason most likely. Ambuscade armor isn't something you want to full-time. There is usually one piece each month that you'll really USE. The rest will be side pieces and macros for situational sets. Consider Ambuscade, Sparks 2.0. The only people you should see running around in the entire set are newer players trying to get armor that isn't completely ***, but isn't 'god-like' either. Pair Ambuscade armor with the new Su1 NPC weapons they released last month and you have a Full i119 character who is strong enough to be able to participate in most battle content that will allow them to upgrade from there.

There is absolutely no reason to NOT be i119 now, seeing as Ambuscade is soloable by all, and 115K for an su1 weapon isn't completely crazy seeing as you can convert sparks and get that in no time at all.
