News Flash: Three New Expansion Scenarios Announced at Vana'diel Festival 2008! (11/2

Re: News Flash: Three New Expansion Scenarios Announced at Vana'diel Festival 2008! (

Seriously?

Three pages about race changing?

Is that really such a big deal, especially in light of all the brand new info we just got?

I mean, really? No one's gonna comment on how the new WotG mission pic shows the nation's heros staning in *JEUNO* or how Lilith looks suprisingly like another red-headed, pointy eared girl we all know? Or how there's a new combat system for getting solo/low man exp featuring *Outposts* and the original Conquest zones, that even offer new, nice, looking gear. Or the eyepatch? Or storylines surrounding Shantotto building an army, a Moogle who we may actually be able to kick the crap out of and one that points to the original Tavnazia? Clear and precise information about not only being able to get Exp and Skill ups from the Moblin Mazes, but to be able to increase *Craft* skills as well?

And instead there's 3 pages of arguing about race changing?

Seriously?

What's wrong with Automaton casting AI now? I'd assume roughly the same things that are wrong with Adventuring Fellow casting AI, but I haven't touched PUP since unlocking it.

Automation nukes scale based on mob HP (meaning the Automation actually knows the target HP), yet at the same time, when it targets someone to cure them, it only uses the highest tier cure available which wastes its own MP at times. A lot of PUPs have complained about this since the introduction of the BLM and WHM head attachments and would like the Automation's Cures to scale with the target's HP.

Also, if unattended after initiating a nuke, the Automation will spam random enfeebling magic. Sometimes you don't want to DoT things, so they need to come up with a way to control that.

Try swapping your Tarutaru or Mithra with a Galka for a week and see how you like that.

Pretty much, things like Silencing any mob with MP(Crabs/Beetles/Colibri, lol) and I know there are some other wonky Soulsoother spell choices our residen LS PUP has complained about.

Yeah lately it's like you can't post a simple comment without having it scrutinized and debated till you are bored out of your mind.

If it makes you feel any better SE will probably never do it unless it was some sort of super special 1 time only event and they charged at least 25 bucks for it.

=============

Now on topic.

I can't believe SE is actually making me kinda want to go back to the game sooner than planned. But this will take a long time to happen anyway so I don't expect it to affect my plans after all.

IIRC, the automaton is also quite stupid in it's spell selection when it comes to nuking vs enfeebling.

Doesn't it always give priority to enfeebles first?


And just to wrap it up, what I meant by 8-3 was say you've gotten past it all and then suddenly you change your race. Well, suddenly the race tower you climbed doesn't really apply now does it? YAY TIME PARADOX! That's all >- >

Feh! That whole place is a time paradox, one more wont hurt.

If it is Lilisette.... I'd still hit it.

Or how there's a new combat system for getting solo/low man exp featuring *Outposts* and the original Conquest zones, that even offer new, nice, looking gear.

That one's interesting, but it all depends on the levels, the rewards and such.

Or the eyepatch?

Since they showed everyone wearing it, I have a feeling this is going to be like those spectacles they gave away at the start of WotG. Unless it has good COR stats, I'm going to make fun of every COR that wears one. More than I already do the ones I catch using the Level 22 bullets in the 70s. Especially the ones I catch using Bronze Bullets at that level. Yes, I saw one using Bronze Bullets, it was pathetic.

Or storylines surrounding Shantotto building an army, a Moogle who we may actually be able to kick the crap out of and one that points to the original Tavnazia?

They already said these expansions would apply to pre-existing zones, so one pointing to Tavnazia is one I'm not getting my hopes up for unless it somehow is included as a WotG zone.

The moogle and Shantotto expansion chapters I don't know what to say about. A Crystilline Prophecy is just about the only expansion chapter that seems to potentially connect to a previous storyline.

I meant replacing your Kitten or Foobar character models with Galka, not making a new Galka character.

That aside, it would be funny if the eyepatch is like -20 Acc.

There are things Kitten wears I don't want to see a Galka in, like the Cobra Unit Subligar.
