The New Version Update has arrived! (04/29/2013)Follow

No, but I wanted AT LEAST 2 OR THREE NEW BELLS ALREADY.

****.

The most annoying thing I realized I could do on GEO was actually use the /bell command in my macros, to make pseudo music as I played.

I did resist the temptation to put "You can ring my BEEEEEEELLLL ring my bell" in Indi-Regen.

I probably wont ever have one of them new weapons drop into my lap but I'm so happy with the merit ws changes. I had it all set before the update thinking it will be 65% for the first merit. Now since its at 73% have to do more arranging. Awesome regardless.

For the fun of it I un merited the WS category and played. Saw very little drop in WS damage. So what exactly did I spend all those merits on in the first place. I sure hope they fixed it like they claim.

On that note they really need to add merits to the Combat skillz category for use with multiple jobs. Just sayin' lol

Lol oh boy, I'm so happy I choosed to sell all that dyna currency, instead of upgrading my relic.

But still.... what the **** SE....

Lol those DMG values are either a mistake or a place holder until they put in the real values. There also exists the possibility those are only usable in specific events.

^^

Everything that's been found to physically fall into the loot pool when one of the new (H)NMs die, it's matched the listed stats exactly from the club to one of the DA Earring set.

I believe this is good news, more much needed change. Awesome update and awesome detailed notes on all the update changes!

SE could have just given NMs high HP, def, VIT values while keeping its damage the same.

I know some people hate seeing content get antiquated, but I say good riddance. As long as the daily timers persisted on a lot of content, all that stuff snowballed into events "you had to do" otherwise you were basically hurting your potential progress. Sure, you could stockpile a few Nyzul runs, but time was still wasted if your group was largely weekend warriors. There was no storage of Dynamis or Salvage, though, which introduces its own complications in gil making or item progress (particularly self-grown R/Ms).

At the moment, I'm of the mind SE needs needs to drastically cut back on their RME requirements. With older content losing its general appeal, sustaining them for a niche isn't going to go well. So, this means less currency needed, fewer alexandrite, and knocking a zero off the HMP requirement on top of other tweaks like maybe eliminating the assault clears for Mythics altogether while lowering the costs of the eyepatch and other item. This way, people aren't spending months just to get a severely antiquated item they'll then have to jump through even more hoops to update once SE gets around to that. This could be carried over to other magian stuff, too, as right now, even considering a fire path weapon seems like a waste of time--and that was already mired by fire weather issues.

For now, I'm just watching info the new mobs. Some are "happy" things are "hard" again, while sharing no shortage of barbs toward Abyssea. Hard to say if SE balanced these mobs on the assumption we'd be in their eventual gear drops or not, but I will say I have never been a fan of rage timers (or DPS checks) in any game I've played. And short timers seem to be present on all the NMs, which doesn't bode well for your more average players. Gimmicks have been found for some, but whether or not all have some kind of quirk is still a wildcard. I dunno, maybe my definition of hard carries over a broader range of requirements than flooring accuracy and one-shotting people while taking forever to kill.

I was on for maybe four hours before. Went to tree with a friend working on h2h trial and noticed constant weather up. Went from Rain to double thunder to rain to thunder with no window of weatherless time. I know it is regularly up, has anyone noticed other zones with this same effect?

My last hour playing helped a LS member build lights for feet farming in Attohwa. The Mandies checked Decent Challenge from the start when they would before check Easy Prey. Anyone else notice this change?

I know the levels changed didn't know it was relative to another player, in or out of party, killing them too. No one was around and the mandies from Flux5 to where the Galka npc is against Mount Tor were all there. Caught me off guard trying to skill up polearm and two mandies pushing me into yellow so quickly.
