- The introduction of the new "Moblin Maze Mongers" system originally scheduled for this version update has been delayed due to extension of the QA period. The specific release schedule will be announced on Topics as soon as it is decided.

The one thing I was really looking forward to, too . . .

Oh, sure, you can preach QA this, QA that, but I'd like to give all of us a {Flash}{back} right about now, to reveal to all of you what a load of bollocks this all is:

The new Chocobo Circuit content introduced in the official FINAL FANTASY XI home page's Topics post entitled "Exclusive Story: Swamp Stampede! (05/26/2008)" will be postponed to allow for further testing. Our development team is working hard to ensure the earliest possible release of this new content. Please stay tuned for further news regarding this issue.

WHERE. IS. OUR. WHITE. CHOCOBO. SQUARE-ENIX!!!!!

Hey Square Enix.

I'd just like to once again say fuck you.



Is anyone else stuck on the new missions? I have to get to the Maiden Springs in Jugner Forest [S] but the fucking update made it so you require the crescent thingy to open it now.

Only problem is, all 4 spawn points for it are behind the fucking gate. So anyone who didn't get it before the update (such as myself) is screwed.

That's some great design there SE. Real good job.



EDIT: Okay I did some thinking and had an epiphany. Though I still say the Dev team are assholes for changing that gate. And no, I'm not telling.

It's not that i don't have a varied means of income. It's just I'm not a DD, I don't have WHM melee gear outside of a Draksteel Maul, heck I don't even have access to Hexa-Strike. I CAN'T farm as many things as people my levels. It's as simple as that.

Fish.

Right because guns from 22-29 just suck balls


Last PT I had on COR I was the top DD lmao.

We were WAR NIN DRK COR BRD SCH I believe. With Chaos Roll, Doubler Minuet and Rice Dumplings I was shooting IT Crabs for 140 a pop >_>b

I ended up tanking most of the fights because of this but we were managing chain 6 so it really didn't matter. Gained 3 levels in 2 hours that day it was insane.

COR only has guns. RNG has options besides the gun and bow and Xbow bring better options to the table pre-50. Hence why I said what I did, why not try reading what you quote?

At any rate, it doesn't chance the fact that having a gun and shooting bronze bullets before 22 is a complete waste of time and gil. Just go level RNG to level marksmanship.

Your epiphany about them talkin about the gates opening up to people on chocobos?

The other stuff is nice... But, where is my Tux?! I can't find an NPC anywhere for it...

Re: The December Version Update Cometh! (12/09/2008)

Your right. I forgot about the tux. Everyone stop what the hell your doing and find it now!

Do you guys know the reason for the movement of the Teleport NPCs?

[Satimasu]

Re: The December Version Update Cometh! (12/09/2008)

Yeah, and here is why there is no Tux NPC yet.

The crafted version is out, but the R/E version isn't. Yay...

I haven't logged into XI for serious playtime in over a week now. Not due to time restraint but more due to lack of interest. This update so far has only made matters worse. It seems like the only things they DID actually implement as promised were the things that make the game even more annoying or inconvenient.

Let's see... the only thing I was interested in in this update was the Benedight (Wedding) set for the guys. Well, looks like they didn't put that in.... although they apparently did put in the crafted version. You'd think they'd put the rare/ex version in first. Lame...

So there was that... but added onto that we have...

The price nerfs. I myself never really farmed any of those items, but they were nice when farming other things and getting those as drops sort of a, you didn't really just waste 2 hours farming that item because you got some gil outta it too. Plus it must really suck for those who do make their gil outta those items... also lame.

So they move the OP warp guys closer to what... mog house? Yay? Why? I kinda liked where the one was (in sandy at any rate) Conveniently close to both an HP and the signet guards. So now you have to run all the way to a gate guard then back to your MH to OP warp? Wow. That sucks...

They didn't release their big spectacular maze thing they were gushing about on the update teasers. Not a big surprise there, but still lame. Oh and looks like they tweaked my wyvern HB down, not that I noticed it breaking any rules... but whatever. Doubt they fixed the bug where the wyverns remain capped after leaving a capped area, but they had to 'fix' the HB. 9.9 Whatevs...

As for the rest, the WotG missions are so Mary Sue to me that I don't even care about what they add to it, as of now it's simply 'busy work'. I don't have and don't intend to have SCH or DNC leveled anytime soon so those updates I can't comment on, although I've read some venting from SCH on other forums about them... guess they're not that great...

And the rest barely garners a ho-hum from me. Honestly if Sati wasn't still in this game I think I'd be sending Squeenix the pink slip "UR fired lulz, goin to <insert some other MMO name here>"

As an after thought I checked on a graphical bug that's been in the game for a long LONG time, that I've reported to them. Granted, its not some cornerstone game-breaking glitch, but it hasn't been fixed either. Anyone who's been in Zilart CSs might know what I'm talking about, having seen parts of Eald'narche I'm pretty sure were meant to be covered by his robe -.- Lame... So they always spout QA as a reason for delays? Hogwash. I begin to wonder if this mythical QA team even exists, after seeing straight through Eald'narche for a couple years now, among other things...
