New WotG Dats + Animations!

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

Yeah you will. If Dancer is a good addition to a party, you'll invite the hell out of them. And then you'll sit there going on and on and on about it in party chat and your LS. Because surely it will never ever get old. And the instant you don't blather out with sophomoric insults, your entire server will laugh at you.
But you'll still invite them.

Even if they are awesome i still have alot choices. I don't want want to watch them dancing infront of screen. Galka is already big enough and block my POV.. and now they dance... i won't see what going on infront of me anymore.

Being a taru is hard work, you are short, you are small and you can't see.

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

So are they going to allow people of the races where there are new faces added to ... change? Like pay this massive sum of gil and change your face type? Or is that just for NPCs. Makes you wonder, I mean this wasn't available 5 years ago, and who's gonna want to start all over for a new face?
I mean hell I like mine the way it is but some people might want to change. Just some thoughts though, I guess probably not gonna happen.
That new armor does look fucking PWN.

I think those are for NPC only, they have TONS of faces that are NPC only ;p

and the Mithra face is not that bad -.-

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

They're casting White Magic and Black Magic. Even their own unique spells fall under one of those two categories. Red Mages don't get a unique animation, nor do Paladins or Dark Knights. Now if those jobs were updated to get their own special animations for White or Black Magic, sure. But why should Scholar be an exception to the rule?

I was under the impression that Scholar would get their own unique spells, and not Cure just at a different level. Now if that's an incorrect impression/assumption, then it would make sense that they would not get their own animations. But if they got something like, I dunno, Scholarly Aura then it shouldn't use the White Mage animation even if it's just a Cure spell.

Refresh has the same animation as Cure, except for the effect part (that appears on the target). And Raise. And Haste. And every other White Magic spell.

Now, whatever new spells SCH has will probably have their own *effect* animations. But they may not have been found yet (or even added yet - there could still be more updates coming before release).

P.S. Are the SCH and DNC AF dats *in* the update? Does that mean those jobs won't have to wait 6 months for their AF like the ToAU jobs did?

I'm sure there in the DATs somewhere, the ToA AFs were in the DATs from Day One (I had a sig with mithra COR AF very shortly after ToA was out). Whether or not the stats on the AF have been finalized is an entirely different matter. I doubt the have been.

SE designed the ToA AFs much better than the RoZ AFs, so they can take their sweet time and watch how players take to the jobs. I certainly hope they do, because there is no rush to get to 75 on these new jobs.

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

but you know people will get Dancer and Scholar to 75 within a month, then complain because there is no AF -.-

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

No rush for you maybe, but as I recall there were Lv.75 BLU and CORs by the weekend after ToAU was released. Seemed to have taken an extra week for PUP75s to pop up. I'd be surprised if the same sort of thing didn't happen with the two new jobs from this expansion.

AF shouldn't be a Cracker Jack prize. You're not even of the level to use any of the ToA AFs, so I really don't know what you're complaining about.

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

Now i am 100% sure, i will level a taru dancer...
However, i am 100% sure that i will ask specific gender before i invite dancers...
Check out the Male elvaan dance.... i am not inviting elvaan ..... not in a million years....

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

I see this already... and if your going to not invite a Dancer, because of race/gender..... then your stupid -.- I am sorry, but that has got to be the stupidest reason I have ever heard, to not invite someone to a party.

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

I like the animations for Scholar, but what does season changing effect do? I can't remember any items/gear/armor that has increased/decrease stats based on seasons.

Also where are you getting the idea of Scholar having some motions like BRDs? If anything they look like BLUs who cross their arms for casting.

Re: New WotG Dats + Animations!

Season is probably something completely new.

There is no season shifting so far ingame at all..

Scholars use various *forms* of White Magic and Black Magic, the casting animation is the same because those spells fall into one of those two categories. But spells that don't fall into those categories always get their own animation...like Blu or Smn. The only real Scholar only motion is their books...which uses the *same exact motion as every JA in the game(except Camaflouge, Hide and Scavenge iirc)* Why not complain about that instead?

I'm sure there in the DATs somewhere, the ToA AFs were in the DATs from Day One (I had a sig with mithra COR AF very shortly after ToA was out). Whether or not the stats on the AF have been finalized is an entirely different matter. I doubt the have been.

Hell, there was even an dat modified 'adult' version a day after the AF was installed into the game data.

but you know people will get Dancer and Scholar to 75 within a month, then complain because there is no AF -.-

Even though it should be 100% expected that there won't be AF for the new classes from the start, and that this is done intentionally by SE, people will indeed complain. But that's because those people are only lvling the jobs for their AF so we really shouldn't pay any attention to them.

Are you sure? I'm positive Ive seen the trees change in each of the starting nations depending on what season it is. Most noticeably during spring when many are blooming etc.

That's not from the season. It's part of the spring festival event. Keep in mind several in-game years pass per RL month.

This:

I like the animations for Scholar, but what does season changing effect do?

...is the first I've heard of Scholars changing the season at all. I suspect it's being confused with weather changes, the effects of which should be pretty easy to suss out.
