[Tiduz]

so the fates can be in alot of places O_O

edit: HORIZON up now.

edit2: well that was easy

 

[GraveRobberX]

Holy Fuck the Dragon Quest Font, fucking looks Amazing

That shit was like a Whoa moment

 

[Ken]

aw yes

 

[Sophia]

I'm calling a mulligan on that. Surely the next duty roulette dungeon I get will be a mid level dungeon.....

....right?

Also wowza, FATEs have been kicked into overdrive I see.

 

[tiggerkiddo]

It's a shame she doesn't actually do that annoying laugh. And yes Shantotto is still a massive troll

 

[Tiduz]

If you fail to treat her right, she will set your pants alight.

 

[Sophia]

Tam-Tara Deepcroft.... This is not a mid level dungeon Square-Enix! =|

At least everyone is somewhat in the level range of it, except for me. Even if we're all level synced.

To add insult to injury, both of the Arcanists in the party had Topez Carbuncles out and had to be yelled at. Ugh.

 

[Bomber Bob]

man tarus were so cute

 

[Ken]

FFXIV: ARR |OT4| PUFF-PUFF AWAY!

it was so hard to hit that accept button

 

[tiggerkiddo]

Why didn't the fight with the golems have some DQ music...

Oh gaaaah this DQ...can I like run away or something? That was kinda creepy...

 

[Ken]

game complete. see you all in 2.2

 

[GraveRobberX]

Got my WAR Relic:

3 Down, 6 to go, DRG up next

That DQ x FFXIV quest chain was interesting...

Nice rewards:

Until you haven't seen her up close, she's HUEG LIKE XBOX!

*She casted Blizagga V*, that shit was insane

Haha, that made me laugh my arse off. Just the idea of a GM Warning something for a parser.

 

[RellyRell28]

So with the multiple location of these fates for the crossover quests are all at different levels or something

 

[studyguy]

Only made it to T4 last night due to 90k's.
Got worried after a group said they lost their loot, but we couldn't even get beyond the first pull without getting booted from the server so whatever.

 

[Bomber Bob]

DQ quest ending scene was pretty japanese

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

It was a cool throwback to FF7 honey bee scene.

Also Onion set complete.

Have yet to decide what will be the next set.

Yeah, seems so.

So what's the highest level one for each quest. I did the ffxi one just wanna know which DO one to go to so I won't have to sync down

 

[Relaxed Muscle]

Not sure. Going by the different locations I'd say around lvl 33-35.

 

[Mr Nash]

Haha, just came across Monstrous Sorceress now. Holy crap, she's huge! XD

 

[Aeana]

I need my golem minion.
Sadly I might not even get to play today. Oh well.

 

[Stuart444]

I just got 90k'd... as soon as I teleported. Anyone else getting stuff like that?

 

[Wilsongt]

The following changes have been made to gathering points (GP).
Players will now also accumulate GP when playing as a Disciple of War, Magic, the Hand.
GP will no longer reset when changing to a non-gathering class.

THANK YOU BASED, YOSHIP. THANK YOU.

I'm just now reading the 2.15 patch notes and go the Vote Abandon function for light parties.

Well, that's going to suck for that one DPS who waited 40 minutes in Duty Roulette Queue just for the other three to be like "lol pharos fuck this."

But at least they recognized that playing Sastasha and Halatali in Roulette every single day is not that fun.

Pretty sure it's a cool throwback to every DQ game, actually!

 

[Aeana]

Puff-puff thing has been alluded to in every DQ game since the first one.

Puff-puff room in DQ8

 

[Teknoman]

So new music for the event fates?

 

[WeaponKnight]

Game changer!

 

[tiggerkiddo]

So new music for the event fates?

For Dragon Quest? Nope
For Shantotto, yes

 

[Aeana]

Game changer!

Well, it's nice that they're putting back a feature that they already had in the game before.

 

[Sophia]

I hate liars who say they're lagging when it was clear they were just incompetent. -.-;

Well, it's nice that they're putting back a feature that they already had in the game before.

I wanna know why they removed it to begin with. Seems odd to do so. ;

 

[WeaponKnight]

Better late than never, I guess.

Apparently some people were flooding SE asking why their quests were disappearing because they weren't paying attention, plus it was poorly implemented and instead of refining it and teaching people how to use it, they just took it out.

 

[Ferr986]

That DQ quest last scene... I guess my character is lesbian after all XD

EDIT: lol at Shantotto. Shes awesome as always. I wish SE could put her back on future quests.

 

[aceface]

You know, with FFXIV getting me into MMO's for the first time, I'm curious about DQX now. For anyone who played that how is it? Any chances for a western release? I'm a huge DQ fan so if it was ever possible for me to play, I'd probably try it out.

You'll never see DQX in the west, I don't even know why they did this co-op event in the west because SE tries to hide away DQX in every other form of media.

 

[Bomber Bob]

I don't even know why they did this co-op event in the west

because server content is universal

 

[Reknoc]

You'll never see DQX in the west

not with that attitude

you just gotta belieeeeeeeve!

 

[Sorian]

because server content is universal

It doesn't need to be, that is just laziness but its neither here nor there, its not like I'm complaining about more content.

 

[Sophia]

I want Dragon Quest X in the west. Ideally with a reduced fee to play both games. :<

 

[Aeana]

It doesn't need to be, that is just laziness but its neither here nor there, its not like I'm complaining about more content.

It's not laziness. It was intentional, just like in FF11. It's why the auto-translator system exists in the game. The impact is reduced in FF14 because of the segregated data centers, but not eradicated.

As someone who played DQ10 at launch and really enjoyed her time with it, I honestly don't think DQ10 would be received very well in the west at all. It is more like FF11 than any modern MMO, but I think the most important thing is that it doesn't have a lot of the stuff that western MMO fans are looking for, particularly when it comes to interface and control fluidity. I wrote a big long post about this somewhere, but I can't find it at the moment. I'll have to dig it up later. Even as a huge DQ fan and a huge fan of MMORPGs, I found that once I got through the main story, I didn't really feel like I needed to stick around. I intend to go back for the expansion content sometime this year and then put it down again until the next significant story content is added. I know there's a lot more to do in the game now, but it just doesn't feel like one of those MMOs that I'd play all the time.

 

[frequency]

Half a year (or more) later, I can finally hide that level 20 Leatherworker quest that's been taking up the limited tracking space and has caused me to run back and forth more than I needed to because the game decided not to track the quests in my immediate area.

I'm glad it's finally coming back but taking half a year to re-implement functionality that they removed because people were getting confused or whatever really does not fill me with confidence.

 

[Sorian]

It can be both lazy and intentional. I'm just saying we don't need to use the excuse that it HAS to be that way because it doesn't need to be.

 

[Sophia]

It would be a complete waste of time and effort to remove the event for western players. There's nothing lazy about it. Not to mention impractical given Japanese and English speaking players can play on the same server.

I'm not saying they should remove the event, any content is good content, I'm just pointing out how silly this is when they go through so much trouble trying to make western fans forget that the game exists.
