Go ahead and tell on us, it doesn't make the art any better.

I have to agree with Hyrist here, let's get back to some intellegent discussion here?

Quite frankly I do think it's sad and funny that that is the only lame personal attack that Fish of Legality can come up with.

Also, with the talk about EVE, EVE is a space combat game correct? It is FAR, FAR easier to upgrade the graphics for that then it is to upgrade the graphics for a MMORPG. It's a totally different thing that cannot be compared.

I'm not personally attacking anyone, unless Hyrist is Fred Perry(if so: yiff in hell) or Hyrist takes his signature/sig personal(considering he is throwing a bawwww-fest, maybe he does).

I'd personally like to see what BRP considers "Art" In proper context.

Hmmmm....

Fine Art? I don't feel like looking for that.

Anyway...

I've heard that in WotG, there might be two new avatars added for SMN. Any feedback on this?

As yet, there are four avatars as yet introduced that have not been made for blood pacts, in the form of Bahamut, Phoenix, Odin, and Alexander.

My bet's on Odin and Alexander, but it's anybody's guess. They may see fit to introduce yet more avatars to summon.

[Silent Howler]

Re: The OFFICIAL "Wings of the Goddess" @ E3 2007 Thread!

Yeah Odin and Alexander seem like the most likely possibilities. They have been making more references to both of them lately. (You can actually fight Odin.)



But I only heard the news about new avatars for SMN for one or two people. Wondering if there is anything solid that actually says there will be new avatars added. Or at least something more than just a rumor.

Re: The OFFICIAL "Wings of the Goddess" @ E3 2007 Thread!

Well, SE promised ToAU would bring us more avatars... looks like they've waited till the very end to make good on that (I hope! Please give us Odin and Alex! > < Zantetsuken FTW!)


Phoenix and Bahamut would be great too, but SE said they won't give us Bahamut because of his story status and power level.

Re: The OFFICIAL &quot;Wings of the Goddess&quot; @ E3 2007 Thread!

Phoenix is currently indesposed of in small peices like a certain sword if I remember CoP correctly and what diablo tells you.

Alexander would be interesting to see, but I'd be mighty pissed off if thats the reward to ToAU, I'd kill every summoner I saw.

sounds like I need to unlock Smn ^^

Well, SE promised ToAU would bring us more avatars..

When, where? Proof please.



Oh and another thing, "MORE SUMMONS PLZ!" is one of the reasons SE should only listen to a portion of it's playerbase. The majority always wants new shinnies to play with, but have no clue what jobs really need. Summoner needs a use for 90% of the BPs/Summons it has now, not a new one. Make a Summoner a Buffing job by improving or replacing it's current BPs and make it a better DD by making Magical BPs worth the TP building.

Re: The OFFICIAL &quot;Wings of the Goddess&quot; @ E3 2007 Thread!

Hmmmm.

FFXI storyarch completed pre-Zilart, SMN becomes available a little while after.

RoZ and Final nation Rank Missions released, then you can challenge Fenirir a couple months later to obtain him as a summon.

CoP Storyarch ends, and a little while later, you can challenge Diabolos and obtain him as a summon.

Hmmmmm.

So, come this October what's the likelyhood SMNs will have a new avatar to play with? I think the chances are pretty good, seeing as the ToA storyarch ends with this month's update.

Re: The OFFICIAL &quot;Wings of the Goddess&quot; @ E3 2007 Thread!

New summons are always welcome, but I also think it should be acompanied by an improvement of most BPs, so SMNs can do something other than spamming Cure III while trying to justify the MP cost of using a BP.

It should be the other way around.

[Malacite]

Re: The OFFICIAL &quot;Wings of the Goddess&quot; @ E3 2007 Thread!

Agreed, SE needs to recognize SMN's rightful position as a DD-Support class and not a 2nd class healer.


Okay I was flipping through the 1UP interviews with SE and I could have sworn they said ToAU would bring new avatars. All they said was that new ones would be added in the future.

It reminds of when SE said we'd be getting fishing Canoes in CoP... never happened.


I wish we could get bahamut I really do -_ -

SUMMONER: One observation the development team has noticed has been the tendency of Summoners to only cast an avatar when they need a specific spell (i.e. Aerial Armor), and then to release them. The team would like the Summoner to leave the avatars out longer. To achieve this it's considering giving the Summoner more MP, although in reality a lower perpetuation cost might be more effective. The duration of Summoner-derived party buffs will depend -- finally -- on the level of a Summoner's summoning magic skill. The FFXI team is planning to add more abilities for avatars. There are no plans to add Bahamut as an avatar. The reason for this is because if the developers were to add Bahamut as a summonable avatar, they would have to reduce his strength considerably, and the team didn't want to do that. New avatars will, however, be added in the future.

Re: The OFFICIAL &quot;Wings of the Goddess&quot; @ E3 2007 Thread!

Picking again at the Bahamut part, I noticed that the devs didn't want to weaken Bahamut for Blood Pact, not that they couldn't. I'm hopeful that it's one of those things where their stance could change in time, or, with enough bitching, they change their minds anyways.

I thought they had those little fishing boatd over in poro poro what ever island? I could swear I saw pictures of them.
