Merit Adjustments

[Murphie]

Not directly related to this particular thread, but POL News in the POL Viewer has the download size and estimated download times listed for tomorrow's update.

With all expansions, 26MB (PS2) 46MB (PC) 65MB (360)

Without the last two expansions, 17MB (PS2) 27MB (PC)

Not so bad, I guess.

Re: Merit Adjustments

Ew. 46 megs. Wow.
Can't wait for the update myself; but as of now the Merit system is useless to me.




I'm not 75 yet! T_T

Re: Merit Adjustments

Can't wait to see what they give WHM.

Merits:

Holy II : Blow up mobs for... 400 damage!
Sacrificial Lamb : Restores all party members hp and mp and in return... a brutal smackdown and delevel.
Rapid Retreat : Flee... to avoid brutal smackdowns. Animations includes wetting oneself, throwing hands up in the air, and screaming.



Can't wait to see what they give us though. Exciting...

Re: Merit Adjustments

Know what i'd like to see? Maintan spells! Infinite Regen effect on someone at the cost of your own mp! Can cancel the effect at any time.

Umm... because the update isn't for another 50 minutes... They usually don't post what the totality of the update is until AFTER it starts. You should have known that by know Darkhound.

It's like you don't reveal your inside information on the stock until it goes public. Or else people will do stuff like (camp at a certain area for their fellowship etc etc.)

Where's pebbles, and I hope he/she posts whatever he/she finds out by .dat mining.

EDIT:
Wow finally we get new crap! Ya I love merit parties! Chain 100+ (Yes, please)

I wonder how this will be affected by magic resistance being put in by all the Impossible to Guage monsters? Also it looks like the class 2 types only consist of the 6 terrestrial avatars correct? it looks like Carbuncle won't get Meteor It lags anyways.

Re: Merit Adjustments

Let's hope the update is done by the time I get off work. Has their been any mention of new recipes or armor/weapons/items in this update? So far all I've seen mentioned are NMs in Bieseged, HNMs in the new areas, and merit changes.

Re: Merit Adjustments

Re: Merit Adjustments

Yes, finding out if there's more to the yukata set with the summerfest, {Can I Have It?} (we all really apreciate ya pebbles!)

Re: Merit Adjustments

anyone can .dat mine if they're on PC. Just download POLutils.



Also, we probably won't know until SE allows us to download the file, so it'll probably be quicker to just wait for them to announce the update details on POL

Re: Merit Adjustments

You seem to forget RDM's job is to debuff and they also do not learn Bio ever.

RDM gets Bio and Bio 2. It's the Banish line that we don't get.

Can't download on work computer, some of us make money for a living.

Can't download on a computer that doesn't have ffxi installed either.

So I wait for posts and read posts. Hoping people would be nice enough to post all the new shinies that I won't be getting because of work.

Re: Merit Adjustments
