March Version Update Comes Blazing In! (03/26/2012)Follow

I love how this is worded. It makes it sound like it's a bug for Draw In to affect participating players, but having it affect non-participants is intended behavior.

Except I can't get them to work... is this in Test Server or what?


Except they've been storable for a long time on the event item storage NPC. The only ones that haven't are the ones with limited (counted) number of uses. (And newly created event items usually lag by a few months before they add them to the NPC.)

Seems Meteor and Arise are from Legion or the final VW fight maybe? I assume if it was a quest or something like that the dat miners would of found it in the chat logs by now?

I don't get why they spent so much time on a spell so few are seemingly going to get, not even 1 person has it yet?

Either the COR in my PT last night was hitting terrible rolls (wasn't paying enough attention) or they do not stack, I had left Discipline on without noticing and was only getting the normal returns (I was on SAM.. no more constant Shoha QQ)

Maybe Sage Sundi decided to reactivate his GM account and decided to level his DRK past the level cap again.

Only if Jormy is in there.

Just a quick t(^.^t) to SE for nerfing Yuly and Falcor's TH. Like THF's TH7 (or 8 in abyssea) wasn't good enough.

I've been hearing a bit on other FFXI websites. Pretty much said ***** that ( as I need both spells, I do use WHM and BLM ) but I can do without till their prices get a tad more reasonable.

Oh yeah, also Yuly is 80K a stack, and Falcor is even more expensive.

You know I still can't believe they added an event like Legion, 36 player content with low low drop rates.

I still remember the reasoning for level cap increase, Abyssea, server merges etc. In that lowering player populations required increased level caps to be able to low man content and that they were changing the direction of the game to accommodate this.

I read a few people complaining it was too hard or that when people shout for it they want relics etc, truth is they are aiming content at hardcores now and not normal players, that's why nobody wants you for it (because you're a scrub in a hardcore game). People shouting for relics etc is because that's the kind of players it's aimed at, if you're casual and complaining you should realise that they aren't making content for you so it's your own fault for thinking differently.



I read they are from the new VW, which would mean they changed the "incredibly difficult to obtain" thing and eased up on it significantly, they will be fairly easy to obtain now I'd think. Same as with the last tier of spells, give it 5-6 months and they should be within most peoples price range.

Honestly it seems they are trying to make XI the low playerbase hardcore, low drop rate and large group MMO and XIV the more popular casual low man MMO, trying to keep both kinds of player happy on their own little island. I don't think it will work out for them the way they think it will if that is what they are doing.

All you have to do is wear an augmented Taru sash and get on the hate list with a single action. You now have as much TH as Yuly or Falcorr without having to sub THF.

I think he refers to this:

Yeah, I know about the TH sash. I just forgot that pet TH was reduced, so I was wondering how a TH sash was supposed to be enough to get you equivalent to pet TH.
