If Exploratory Missions are actually good content, I have a feeling it'll break up the large FCs.

EDIT - Maybe not. You can participate as a random party / solo via Holy See of Ishgard or you can go as an Alliance with your airship? To the same island?

I have a feeling it'll be like hunts.

 

[VanillaCakeIsBurning]

I bought Destiny Legendary Edition to pass the time. There's also MGO3, Tales of Zestiria and a whole bunch of stuff to play before the patch hits.

It sucks but like someone said before when you've done all the latest content it's a good idea to not make the game your main source of entertainment and try to spread your focus around so you're not paying attention to the lack of content to do.

 

[Toth]

It looks nice and all but no one will do it unless the rewards (i.e. gear) are worth it.

 

[Aeriscloud]

Fly to islands using mounts? I cannot wait to do the same thing I've been doing for months.

 

[Wilsongt]

Battle powerful monsters, until you outlevel them with gear.

 

[Qvoth]

island explorations will have NM/HNMs
i'm expecting A to S rank enemy difficulties

 

[Tabris]

If the islands aren't instanced, then it'll be like hunts.

NM/HNM monsters?

 

[Aeriscloud]

HNMs, you have my attention, for now YoshiP.

 

[Kenai]

"Some items are unique to these islands"

Tell me moar

Edit: loved that red set with the goggles

 

[Killthee]

Is that sky pirate gear or just more Void Ark gear?

 

[Xux]

NMs? Well, that content's ruined.

Unless it's like hunts where it's more about contribution than lucking out on a claim.

 

[Wilsongt]

Oh look, new crafted items which will require super rare mats like the Thavnarian set or the company tabards that not everyone will have access to.

 

[Tabris]

That's glamour gear. Game over for this content.

EDIT - Oh damn never mind.

 

[Wilsongt]

...Oh. Level 210 gear?

Well, then.

 

[Qvoth]

i210 DROP FROM ISLAND EXPLORATION HOLY SHIT

 

[Kenai]

That's glamour gear. Game over for this content.

Suddenly 210 Aetherial gear

 

[Pellegri Testament]

5 months and we're only getting 2 dungeons, think about it.

 

[Squishy3]

i hope beginning of november means first week of november

 

[Tabris]

So 3.1 will introduce Hunt spam / random drop gear that will be the same level as A4S gear.

What is SE thinking? This is like taking the bad parts of FFXI.

 

[Wilsongt]

I have a feeling relic upgrades are gonna be linked to those voyages.

 

[iammeiam]

RNG potential for BiS with RNG appearance



lolololololoooooolol

 

[Aeriscloud]

Well, now I have to play again.

 

[Qvoth]

oh shit lord of verminion you gotta own the minions to summon it :<

 

[Kenai]

oh shit lord of verminion you gotta own the minions to summon it :<

That shouldn't be surprising.

 

[Tomat]

RNG potential for BiS with RNG appearance



lolololololoooooolol

Not sure how to feel about this.

 

[Qvoth]

man minion prices are gonna rise like a fucking rocket

 

[Jayhawk]

HNMs with reward system similar to Fay Weapons from FFXI coming in November lol

 

[Ken]

Not sure how to feel about this.

I'm into it.

 

[Xux]

Oh, RTS.

I guess this patch is 1/3 for me so far.

Oh, jeeze, if this played like FFT, I'd be all the fuck over it.

 

[Tomat]

I'm into it.

It might not be bad, I mean, it's basically what I do in Diablo. Kill stuff until my BiS hopefully drops with random stats.

I'm just interested to see how they might implement it, and what it'll actually play out like.

 

[Pellegri Testament]

This is why the patch isn't coming till November, they are putting more effort into Pokémon than WoW did.

 

[Kenai]

I'm far more interested in Lords of Vermilion than I thought I'd be. Glad it's not a repeat of the FFXI stuff.

 

[iammeiam]

Not sure how to feel about this.

I'm pretty amused honestly. It's going to make min/maxers go insane trying to get the right drop, it's going to make devoted glamour fans go insane trying to get the right drop... but it'll kill a ton of time at least?

It actually might be a smart catchup route for A3S too since left side upgrades all locked behind it, if they're trying to not stick twine in Void Ark right away.

But mostly just... lol.

 

[Qvoth]

mini hildebrand top tier lol

 

[Tomat]

Gotta hand it to them at least, I didn't expect it. How much would that suck to finally get some Savage drop you wanted only to get an Aetherial that's better but looks awful? lol

I imagine the Aetherial gear will still be glamourable? Maybe not. Need more details!

 

[hamchan]

Lord of Verminion looking more complex than I expected it to be.

 

[Wilsongt]

Even a weapon triangle lol

 

[Tabris]

So there's 3 possibilities:

1) It's instanced content and the degree of gear you get depends on your airship, with the Holy Ishgard airship being bare minimum. If this is the case, better be prepared for small and large FCs to disappear / break apart.

2) It's open to anyone and it's claim system. i.e. Our FC can claim over another. Get ready for FC drama.

3) It's open to anyone and it's tag system. i.e. Prepare for hunt drama.

 

[Tabris]

Man why are they wasting so much development on shit like this bad pokemon mini game instead of creating good PVE content.

I'm so jaded right now about these developers.

Or 4 its like FATE meets Walk of Echoes and anyone who participates in the kill gets a shot at a drop, with higher amount of points a more likely chance at a drop.

 

[Kintaro]

Man, they are still talking about this. =x

 

[Wilsongt]

Oh look, tournaments for more win-trading.

 

[Tabris]

That's the same thing as hunts. Anyone who participates in the kill gets some seals. Those who "participate more" get more seals up to max tier.

 

[Critical Elk]

Why was this much thought not put into the wolves den.

I'm guessing one and three since the airship probably effects it somehow like cheaper deployment or time or something. The fact that they didn't mention entry requirements is kinda baffling.

It's probably not number two 'cause the developers seem to have too much intelligence and self respect to implement a claim system.

Man why are they wasting so much development on shit like this bad pokemon mini game instead of creating good PVE content.

This seems kinda cheap to develop. RTS is a garbage genre that any developer can shit out in a weekend and this doesn't seem to use any new assets aside from the arena which is pretty barebones.

 

[Wilsongt]

So I assume we'll get a real release date at the Hiroshima FATE. Expected.

 

[Kenai]

Because PvP is gross

Edit: Dat afro lol

 

[Wilsongt]

Oh God. Afro hair.
