Whoa. When did GW2 turn into TERA?

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Whoa. When did GW2 turn into TERA?

Yeah seriously, I was sitting there thinking that they had all played Tera and stole every awesome idea for a boss fight from that game.

 

[Jinko]

Did that first video show shared loot? I haven't been following GW2 much, but if that's how they're doing loot, that's fantastic. It would really encourage people to work together on a whim knowing they are for sure getting SOMETHING out of it. Pretty sweet. It looks fluid, too.

Yup everyone gets 100% of everything, loot, XP, quest drops, nice idea, I'm sure the hardcore MMO players will consider it a bit too casual but I'm definately in favour of it.

Yeah, it's not as hardcore at all, but it really pushes teamwork. I think it was Phantasy Star 0 for DS where I first saw that, and online was so much more fun because of it. Nobody was fighting over drops, just working to get the enemy down. Somewhat looking forward to this. Again, I don't follow it at all, so curious as to if there's a Q for release date?

so is everyone still on Linblum ? I logged on after 3 months of hiatus and so much has changed, the original linkshell is pretty deserted (gunsmithcats), so i played for a few hours and while everything is smooth now, it's still pretty confusing, what's with the "dated" equipments? how do i get a chocobo? where did my stats go? i can't customize my stats now? so many questions.. hmm..

Yes we are still on Lidblum we are under (Red Dot) now.

Dated equipment is equipment from before the patch.Basically new gear was introduced that allows for materia to be sloted and the dated stuff cannot have it.Not sure if they are getting rid of it down the road or not.

Chocobo requires you to be 25 and complete each of the main cities Grand company quests.From there you will be able to join a GC of your choice after that you will need to run one dungeon to get enough marks to purchase the chocobo license.(save your anima now I will tell you this since you just logged on and have alot or prapre to run everywhere to finish this it's not pretty without anima)

Stat customization and physical levels are gone.

 

[Riposte]

This November is demanding I don't play lol. I'll be back by Christmas.

 

[Jinko]

Stat customization and physical levels are gone.

stats should be coming back in 1.20 although only a few points per level.

 

[Gromph]

I wonder how they will deal with the player revolt when Fleet of Foot is taken away from all jobs except Lancers. I would be willing to quit the game just because of that.

And sentinel removed for all class besides Gladiator

 

[Nakazato]

have we got the second part yet ?

 

[Allard]

have we got the second part yet ?

Nope but its expected sometime this week but they never gave a date. My guess is Wednesday morning (Thursday for Japan). Or Friday morning at the end of the week.

In other news. Community organizers rounded up all(most) of the interviews a couple weeks ago with Yoshida and put them all in one place for people to go check out. Couple I hadn't seen before.

[Allard]

I was hoping part 2 would be as early as today. Oh well.

The reasoning for why it had to be split up in the first place made me think a week at best before we heard more on it. They split up the class identity part because the changes they were planning for that still haven't been solidified yet, at least not where they feel comfortable to take scrutiny. They released the system plans, the stuff that the whole class revamps are hinging on first because that was finalized.

 

[Jinko]

It doesn't sound good that they are still planning these changes, I guess 1.20 will be delayed, either that or these changes are goignt o be rushed.

[Ravidrath]

Game development tends to go from more rigid at the start to more fluid at the end, because at first you're making broad strokes and creating whole systems, and at the end you're making all millions of little details people actually see and feel.

Basically, this is normal and indicative of nothing more than that they're making a video game.

Pretty much only difference is it's playing out more public than any normal production would. If this wasn't out yet and they released the game with all this stuff it would be a different story I think the big problem is we are all so high now that anytime new stuff gets thrown out people blow through it in now time.Not so much me lol but you guys don't take long to figure the new stuff and the fact Yoshi mentioned people were speed running ifirit is really funny but that is probably because so many have alot of time to do nothing but that and it's the only thing that keeps them really busy.

Alot of people now have to be close to having all the weapons from ifirit I see so many now and I even see people complaining about how boring it is now.

 

[Unknown Soldier]

Well, most MMOGs don't launch and then the entire development leadership get fired and the game remains live while the new team creates an entirely new game from scratch. That's what's happening here with FFXIV, so in many ways it is the most public development process any MMOG has ever seen, or will ever see most likely.

They had all year to think about this. I wonder what's taking so long.

They're remaking the entire class system from scratch. I'm not surprised it's taken them as long as it has.

Yes that is right the issue is keeping peoples patience especially in this tight market. They will get it together come 2.0 and I have no doubt they will relaunch it successfully for now we are the guinea pigs. I think the fact that people purchased the game and got ripped off was a major problem and I think until it hits that point people will keep complaining. I'm over that personally I've gotten my moneys worth to this point and although rough have had alot of fun with this game especially recently it's really picking up and alot more people are playing together in general which is great.I'd like the monthly price to be cheaper though till 2.0 because it still isn't fully there.

I actually laughed out loud when i read those recipe changes.

So first they simplify recipes then add different recipes to change stats, WTF are they doing.

I like the customisation it offers but its just making something more complicated than it needs to be. (it SE though, I guess I should expect it)

From what I understand is that dying is seperate from crafting and just dyes the item, no stat change, but if you use a dye during synthesis it will effect the stats.

Is that right ?

Basically when they did the craft simplification they also did class identity gear changes with it. At the time color signified what your attributes were selected to. They didn't want to remove these items from the game, but they wanted to still give people the option to choose the color they wanted (This is all fan response by the way). So instead they renamed the items so it no longer became a color in the final product, and allowed people to add dyes AFTER the product was made. They just made the description seem more complicated then it needed to be, all this stuff was done during the craft recipe overhaul its not new, they are basically just giving a convuluted response to "Nothing is changing except now you can color 'after' a synth is made to make the gear you want!".

Seems that the achievement system and the players history aren't the same thing and will be independent of one another.

All previous seasonal event history will not be counted as part of the achievements.

They are really taking an interesting approach to achievements. Instead of the WoW (And by proxy damn near every other MMO that has mimicked them) approach where achievements are for the most part cosmetic or give a couple items out that don't add anything new to the game, they seem hellbent on using achievements as an actual form of game play where people are rewarded more then simple points for doing a long series of tasks or challenges. For the short term its going to be great, but I worry about what a stance like this will do for the long term, going to make it a "If you didn't start at the beginning, you can never catch" up mentality if they are not careful. Good addiction point for the beginning, but it pushes away people who might not have been there at the start, hell it could push people away right now if know that is the future stance.

I think they need to do an all encompassing seasonal achievement and the rest are regulated to lodestone history pages. If they are going to have such a system then they need to make most achievements something that you can get at any time you play outside of the umbral era stuff.

 

[Cmagus]

I'd like to see them introduce a waypoint system that doesn't involve me going into my journal everytime once I've read it I'd like it to be marked on the map.

What you mean like Questfinder, joke.

In all honesty though from the looks of the 2.0 UI they have a quest tracker so I won't be surprised to see map markers like every other MMO out there.

Oh how the FF11 fans will cry over that one.

I think they're likely to be specific stat-adding items for the second synth.

i.e You make a normal felt robe, and then you can upgrade it to a Sagacious Felt Robe or something with stat items. Then you can dye it to be a Sagacious Felt Robe (Red).

You would also have the option to make just a Felt Robe (Red), too, if you were happy with the base stats.

Soem interesting stuff.

Awesome, I loves me some Gigaseses.

Can't wait to see them - I can only assume this must be coming before 2.0, since it would be... kind of asinine to be teasing content stuff this specific a year in advance.

Hmmm since YoshiP stated that he would like the achievements to actually be achievable, that means no FFXI-type achievements like completing all the relic weapons I hope?

Changes to repair

[dev1208] Changes to Repairs
* The following changes are planned for patch 1.20.
* All features are under development and subject to change.

The following changes to repairing will be introduced in patch 1.20.

Simplification of the Repair Motion

The repair motion will be simplified and the time required for the procedure shortened.

Removal of the Repair Screen

Since it is now possible to perform repairs using only dark matter, the repair screen will no longer be displayed after selecting the Repair command.

Repairing Accessories via Repair NPCs

As an alternative to repairing an accessory yourself or requesting it of another PC, NPCs will be able to repair accessories as well.

Inclusion of Level Requirements in Item Help

To make it clear from what level a Disciple of the Hand will be able to repair an item, item help will be updated to include this information.

We will continue to improve repairing in further patches beyond patch 1.20.

 

[Jinko]

Nothing about streamlining the repair NPC, why do I need 4 options then more options and more options again just to repair an item.

Rest of it sounds good though.

The repair motion will be simplified and the time required for the procedure shortened.

Hopefully they got rid of the kneeling down animation.

 

[Jomjom]

Yes my rings and earrings that have been broken for ages will finally comeback to life! I hope they allow npcs to repair items to sellable quality as well. I cant sell any of my old equipment.

Doubt if they will change that. Repairing to 100% is super easy now though. Do you not have friends that can do the repairs?

 

[Allard]

Yes my rings and earrings that have been broken for ages will finally comeback to life! I hope they allow npcs to repair items to sellable quality as well. I cant sell any of my old equipment.

Yoshida drew the line and said NPC's won't be able to repair to a resellable value for equipment unless they go through the crafting process. Its a form of item destruction where only crafters can add to the market. (Its not a great mechanism but it obviously does work ). Thats why he boosted up the NPC repair to 99% but kept it just shy of 100%. Its as good as repaired unless you want to sell it, then you either have to repair it yourself as a crafter or find a friend or someone to repair it. Materia is a form of consolidation for those that don't want to go through crafting to get some value back for used gear.

Gladiator & Paladin Action List

A master of sword and shield, the gladiator is a melee specialist who excels in defense. Though his individual blows do not deal great damage, he is able to deliver them in quick succession, a quality that has earned him a reputation for dependability. The paladin job sacrifices maximum HP, but this is compensated by way of greatly enhanced defense as well as the ability to cast healing magic.

Charging into battle with a massive axe, the marauder quickly draws the attention of enemies, and turns their attacks against them.

Pugilist & Monk Action List

A master of hand-to-hand combat, pugilists harbor the power of the elements within their fists. Making use of MP to imbue his already punishing strikes with the power of fire and earth, the pugilist is a reliable damage-dealer against most any kind of foe. The monk job further acquires the power of wind, and in marrying offense and defense in attacks, improves upon the pugilist’s capacity to deal explosive damage.

Lancer & Dragoon Action List

The lancer is a class that specializes in wielding a variety of long-hafted spears and polearms. They possess a wide range of weaponskill combinations, but have low HP in comparison to other melee classes, and no abilities enabling them to bolster their defense. The amount of damage generated by a string of critical hits is enough to send any enemies left standing fleeing in terror. The dragoon job possesses even greater offensive abilities. In addition to enhanced attack power, dragoons are also able to take to the skies for short periods of time and rain down attacks on their enemies from above.
