Final Fantasy XI Then...

And I suppose you win a grand total of 1000G from it each time too!

Given how pathetically little the adventurer coupons are worth, it wouldn't surprise me in the slightest.

...lol

Omg, an entire 100g more from (assumingly) the most difficult one!

and temporary items?

Wtf is the point exactly?

Spotted this whilst looking through the new items added:



Stats look pretty unremarkable but I'm wondering if it's a 100% proc rate like the lvl30 MNK weapon?

low level play fool, specially useful for those that solo or are waiting for parties and you can use the tabs to beef you up for while, also normal gear can be found.

[Daragon]

Fool eh? Pot/kettle? Who wants low level **** anyway? And would it have been THAT difficult to add it to higher level zones or to include level scaled mobs in zones that this sorry excuse for new content can be found in currently?

[Tobal]

wtf are you on about, wiki's already provided a quick lvl quide for the sub 50's on where to go when your this level(heck is checking is a mob is EP or DC that hard for you), post that is Campaign and Besieged for solo'ers and of course merit/taou 55+ camps.

This is designed for people without 75 jobs(i.e. new players) to pay for top gear,food or kill NM's for rare/ex. And even if you have them its a nice way to waste time while LFG, im currently leveling RDM and i can see this being something i'll do till i hit the 50's when LFG. One Thing FINALLY designed for low to mid level players in god knows how many years/patches and you moan about it not being open to 75's, FFS you don't even do 1/4 of the **** on offer to 75's because all you do is moan.

I don't do much of the end game content simply because I either don't find as much time for it anymore, or because I never have the patience to sit for hours on end waiting for a group to attempt it - it's not a case of not wanting to do it.

If I could solo it then I happily would do.

Also, on the subject of the FoV addition, it seems that I'm not alone in condemning it - I just happen to be alot less tactile in expressing my opinions.

Do you want an honest answer?

I already know the answer..

Look, I understand that this game means alot to certain people, I know that all too well - there was a time when it was all I wanted to do with my day too and that I'd bite the head off of anyone that even looked at it funny.

Just try at least to appreciate where I'm coming from - I'm offering an opinion, nothing more, on content that I believe should have not have been the main focus of this past few month's worth of content, especially seeing as how the Moblin dungeons, something that could very easily expotentially change the game for the better was sacrificed so that more effort could be spent on the rather limiting (as it stands) "Fields of Valor." You'll have to forgive me if I believe that pocket change and a small scrap of exp makes for a justifiable incentive for a single use per real life day chunk of content - also, the whole "it just being something to do while waiting for an exp party" line doesn't wash with me - one of the biggest benefits to the level synch system as I'm sure I don't need to explain is that it eliminates the need to wait for a party when anyone can party with anyone, therefore finding a group becomes less of the painful chore that it used to be.

I'm sure with the proper implementation, with accessibility at all levels, my OPINION (at least) on this will change for the better.

I dont think FoV is the main content. I beleive its just in "testing" to see if it works so that they can put it in for higher lvls to.

This update main content i see -

Missions
New AF
Group 2 Merits for New jobs
+ game tweeks.

Looks good to me, most of it doesnt apply to me but its a good update.

[C']

Come on. When you compare to the updates we've had in the past (which occurred at 2 monthly intervals) this is far from a "good update". As you say the majority of the things implemented benefit 2 jobs only.

I don't think this is a bad update but for a wait of 3 months it's rather dull and lacking in meaty content.

[djtickle]

Maybe im seeing this differnt from everyone else then.

Around 6hours of new missions to do.
New AF
New Group 2 merits
Game Tweeks and Fixes.
FoV
Treasure Caskets
New Campaign OPs
Charging Exp Bands anywhere.

I mean all other updates we have had implemented stuff that was available to you pretty much when you login after maint.


Around 6hours of new missions to do. - Available if you from login.
New AF - Only for new jobs
New Group 2 merits - Only for new jobs
Game Tweeks and Fixes. - Available from login.
FoV - Available from login but for lvl 50 or below.
Treasure Caskets - Available from login and intended for new players.
New Campaign OPs - Available from login, but are any of you doing anything in the past? There are more to these than there are assaults.
Charging Exp Bands anywhere.

To me thats a big update, I just think that it doesnt seem that way because maybe your not playing that part of the game or have that job leveled?

Also this is one for Daviravi!
