Vanafest Info - New Jobs Revealed!

Re: Vanafest Info - New Jobs Revealed!

No, the monster raising is something different. You can basically play Monster Rancher on your island and more or less harvest them for meat/skins etc. I'm posting what the Community Team is relaying from the live stream now hush all of u.

You start off as a basic enemy in that mob family, and then gradually become HNM-style monsters (even the unique voidwatch guys)
- You earn even better rewards if you defeat players as a monster.

I thought you were talking about the PvP system and don't 'hush' people or tell them to shut up, especially those who have spent a lot more time and given a lot more information in this thread than you have.

I'll hush ya'll if I want


Man, it's a lot to absorb. I'm still both steamed and oddly flattered that they more or less took my ideas for Mystic Knight. They even went with the (general) style I had in mind @.@ (armored Robes) geez.

A Light/Medium armor Sword-using Tank with high magic def that relies on enchantment magic to both defend and kill. What, the CRAP TANAKA-SAN?! Well, at the very least it's vindication for everyone who gave me crap over the idea years ago.


Found the old thread I made from way back;

From Szabo. A look at the new UI.

I'll hush ya'll if I want

I don't think so. Anyone is free to post in this thread if they wish.

Re: Vanafest Info - New Jobs Revealed!

They said it's still about 2 months away from the 1st implementation of the new UI. They're also reworking the macro system entirely, so lord only knows we might, MIGHT finally get more macro lines (Dear God I can only hope). Maybe they'll finally be able to address animation lock and other annoyances as well, since the basic systems of the game are all being completely redone for this expansion.


And yet it's still being done for PS2 (in Japan). With all that's being changed, you'd almost swear they had at last scrapped the PS2 to allow for major upgrades. the new 2-hours are being finalized and will be in the next major update as well btw.

Re: Vanafest Info - New Jobs Revealed!

^ basically my reaction as well.

The 2 jobs I've been wanting to see in XI are finally being added at last, along with a total overhauling of the game's Systems and UI... the only thing missing is HD FFXIV-level graphics. If they'd gone that extra mile and re-released it for PS3 who knows what a killing they could make? But that would also be loads more work for them (and costs).


You have absolutely no idea how infuriating it is for me personally though, to repeatedly see my own ideas thought up by and implemented in games by others (I really want to get into game design, and a lot of my friends support me on this and say I've got a lot of good ideas I just need the money for the education...)


EDIT: Rune Knight strikes me as a one of those jobs that just doesn't translate well as a support job. It might work for a class like THF or NIN that swings very quickly for less damage but otherwise I dunno.

Same deal with Geomancer, though Geo might actually work wonderfully as a subjob for either BRD or COR since those jobs also move around a lot and focus on buffing & enfeebling. In fact, I'm calling it now that Geo will be the new defacto sub for Bard.

Re: Vanafest Info - New Jobs Revealed!

wouldn't people want them to copy their ideas, mew? I mean that means those ideas will be implemented for you to enjoy them.

She is right Mal. If you didn't want your ideas to be used why did you post them? Even further, you are getting what you asked for and you are complaining about something other than the time it took them to implement it?

Or did you want a medal and a honorific mention (considering they were indeed using your ideas), or maybe a kiss from Tanaka? Because it doesn't add up otherwise.

Re: Vanafest Info - New Jobs Revealed!

Oh no, I'm glad to finally see the job. Like I said it's just a personal thing that bugs me, knowing I do in fact have good ideas but no real outlet for them. At least means I'm not mistaken with my ideal career path, now I just need a vehicle for getting there. I think I'm allowed a bit of initial rage lol, followed by acceptance. A little credit would be cool, but that's also *incredibly* arrogant so I won't go that far.

Reduced Call Wyvern Recast for DRG Category 1 Merits

This pisses me off. It's not something that needs merits, it's something that needs a flat fucking reduction. The timer for it should never have been higher than five minutes to begin with. The development team needs to get the fuck over themselves, swallow their pride and just straight up reduce the recast timer. No bells, no whistles, no tricks, no strings attached, just a five minute timer with no questions asked.

Re: Vanafest Info - New Jobs Revealed!

How long is the automaton recast? Been forever since I played that class.

Re: Vanafest Info - New Jobs Revealed!

Somehow, SE managed to troll Red Mages and Mystic Knight fans simultaneously with "Rune Fencer".

Ah well. Hopefully it will at least make a good subjob for me.

More info on Rune Fencer from saevellakshmi post on Zam.

New Job: Rune Fencer!
Quick with a blade as well as an incantation, these versatile duelists employ the power of arcane runes to sway the tide of battle both offensively and defensively.
- Their exceptional magic defense and elemental resistance put them squarely in the tank category, along with paladins and ninjas.
- Two broad categories round out their runic arsenal:
- Element-based runes add elemental damage to attacks and increase resistance to certain elements.
- Enchantment-based runes increase either the fencer's attacking prowess or their ability to defend.
- Rune fencers will possess versatile abilities like one that cuts the duration of the next enhancing magic spell cast on them by half, but in turn amplifies the spell's effect 1.5 times, and another that erects a barrier that reduces magic damage.

A degree in game design isn't the only thing that gets your foot in the door. Make games. They don't have to big, just good. Educate yourself. Look at good games, and think really hard about why they're good games - like what Egoraptor does with Sequelitis. Food for thought: Miyamoto was an art student. His degree was in industrial design if I remember right.

Also it doesn't really matter who came up with it first, it's all about who executed the idea best.

Reading this makes me wonder if just splitting the abilities between RDM and PLD instead of adding the job wouldn't have worked better. And the AF is so meh to me it would've easily been an AH-able set and no one would've noticed.

So gotta see the job in action but the more they say about it the less sense it makes.

Hopefully it will be a good enough sub to warrant me to resub for a month to check it out.


PS > And Geo is just... eh... maybe SMNs and SCH will like it as a sub?
