Nice +1 post you made there, chock full of substance.

But your whining that because you feel that altering a job is more important then implementing a feature that is the way it should be done is chock full of insight right?

Re: Upcoming Version Update (02/09/2007)

P.S. I'm happy to see chobo racing finally come around, but I agree with wtf that the rest of the job tweaks are the most important changes. Personally I'm pretty happy with the standing of all my favorite jobs and the balance in general, but I know there are plenty of people still waiting and wondering what their piece of the pie is, and the new jobs aren't quite "finished" yet.

SE doesn't seem to have as much of a problem with TP-burns as some, but I think they've mentioned it as an issue they're going to address in some capacity. I'd like to see what they do, and I bet a pretty substantial mass of players are eager for the same thing. In particular I'm wondering if they throw a bone to the black mages between the level where TP-burns become the standard and the level where manaburns become common again.

Also, I wish they'd step up the work on the Coliseum. I'm not much for PvP but I know a few players who stuck around for ToAU for that feature alone, and I'd like to see them get their due. I bet that'll be the next thing after chocobo racing.

I don't think I'm alone in the fact that I'm breeding the umpteenth chocobo for best all around stats, to learn gallop or get the color chocobo I want as well. Racing definately could have waited longer given how complicated and lengthy the breeding system already is.

Chocobo Breeding is worthwhile in that you get personal transportation in most zones when you need it, but chocobo racing is pure fluffy filler content whether you're willing to admit it or not. The job adjustments are vastly more important, right up there with new missions, zones and endgame content. And I don't consider the latter that important at this point in the expansion.

But your whining that because you feel that altering a job is more important then implementing a feature that is the way it should be done is chock full of insight right?

Alright you two kiddies, settle down.
Leave your e-peni at home. This is just a little teaser that SE likes to leave us. Let's settle down and wait for the actual update before tossing any pebbles.

Re: Upcoming Version Update (02/09/2007)

no mentioning of job updates makes me a sad panda

People whine about not there not being an update, no word on an update.... but when SE finally does... they aren't happy about it...

/sigh

I think the real irony is the whining about the whining, but at least it's humorous.

Who says they're stopping it at lv 7? True to their style, they didn't give us an exact number. What if it's lv 10!? >_>p

And OMG those pics are funny X3

Still holding out for those job updates though. How much longer is SMN going be WHM II ?

Re: Upcoming Version Update (02/09/2007)

Personally I want to see new stuff for Blue Mage.
Something Meritable. They did say they'll add new Meritable abilities for BLU.
Of course, I'm only level 70. >.>

Personally I'm pretty happy with the standing of all my favorite jobs and the balance in general, but I know there are plenty of people still waiting and wondering what their piece of the pie is, and the new jobs aren't quite "finished" yet.

Exactly my point. I'm happy with the changes to RNG and while I wasn't enamored with the changes to COR like so many have been, it was still a worthwhile change I know how to take advantage of it. But those aren't the only jobs I play and there are plenty of other people throwing down that $12.95 a month that are due for thier turn on a job adjustment.

I mean, while MNKs have it pretty good these days, I don't think any MNK could deny there could be a bit more to the job. Every other melee - with the exception of BST also - has a defined purpose in an EXP PT, MNK... hits stuff and that's pretty much it. SE mentioned something about stances, hinted at them possibly taking a tanking role. I'm interested in seeing that. I think giving them a more defined role would make the job more appealing to players... you know, beyond an easy invite for merits.

And while the AM2 merits are nice, BLMs really haven't gotten the EXP fix they're due. The perception that the class slows EXP down is starting to trickle down below 50 where it shouldn't be happening. Its not been an uncommon sight for me to see a BLM soloing in the same areas I do as BST. I don't think they're soloing because they want to, but because they can't get EXP if they don't.

If we're going to whore out the colibri so much, let's get some more pudding camps out there at the very least, starting at 55+

As for BST, new jug pets are inevitable, but it does need some kind of defined role for EXP PTs, a job trait and job abilities to help them do well in that arena. There are plenty of possibilities, yet BSTs continue to wait. I surely don't complain about soloing, I see more beastmen seals in a few hours than most people do all week.

Re: Upcoming Version Update (02/09/2007)

I just want PUP to come up to snuff. Maybe some craftable and Rare/Ex Mage Melee armor in the upper tiers, some maton parts to keep the Sharpshot cooler and/or more durable, and some maton parts for the rather lackluster Stormwalker like oh say... a magic accelerator so that it actually casts enough spells to make a difference or a reverse Scanner so that it only uses nukes and maybe play nuke vs. weakness or nuke based on maneuver set instead of highest-only; a part to make it cast -na's and cure even more frequently than currently would be nice. Maybe a nice BRD frame....


As for other classes that need a kick, how about something for the poor DRGs, too!
