Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

This is the fourth consecutive update now without adding the Northlands and the final Campaign Medals. Seriously SE, release those damn body pieces and increase our XP caps for Campaign already PLEASE ; ;

Agreed. Despite them not making an announcement ahead of time I was stil hoping they would sneak in the new medals. Oh well, time to switch back to Bastok and start working on getting my two medals back.

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

SE giveth...

Attacking Fortifications and other enemies specific to Campaign no longer increases combat and magic skills, regardless of whether or not you have received the effect of an Allied Tag.

and SE taketh away. UGH!

I don't sit around making a huge wish list of shinies I want SE to give me in an update. I was quite content with the game as it was before today. So I'm vexed that SE felt the need to take something away like this.

I think it means you can't skill up by hitting walls without tags on. They'd rather have you hitting something that hits you back.

Campaign mobs hit back, but they took away the ability to skill up on them as well. Apparently, SE wants skilling up to be even more tedious and time consuming than it already is.

If you're skilling up on Campaign mobs, in all likelihood you're hitting on something that people campaigining are tanking for you, not to mention if your weapon is seriously underskilled, you won't be hitting for jack, which will let you get away with next to no enmity. Suck it up and go to CN like everyone else.

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

Do you know (probably you do but to make my point) how a pain it is to try to skill-up Club as a whm in these skill-up parties ? They all ask you to stay back a heal... BS I want skill-ups.

And in campaign I was healing the said tank and skilling up Club and healing at the same time !

heh... /sigh.

Edit: spelling mostly...

This is what /DNC is for.

Oh hey, a reason for Jorm to exist again.

Gobbiebag 9 is attainable, but it'll be expensive as fuck.

Good luck finishing Gobbiebag 10, however.

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

Frequent Ouryu and Bahamut, no need to camp.

And SE will probably add some other way to obtain said ores.

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

Frequent Ouryu and Bahamut, no need to camp.

Activities about a good 80% of players never do, nor get the chance to do. Also, a rare drop that everyone and thier mother wants.

Again, like I said, good luck.

WHM/NIN. A friend and I both went WHM/NIN to the tree last week, and it was easy as cake with quick skillups. I got from 140 -205 club over the course of two days, just playing before work, while also getting a decent amount of Kindred Seals and loot to sell. I've also done the skillup party route, and it isn't that hard. Tell people you aren't going to heal, and if they don't have another healer, they better fucking come /DNC.

ETA: I'd be shocked to hell if you actually need to craft the oxblood or angelskin orb. I very much expect them to come from pop NMs or a BCNM of types that you gotta finish to get the gobbybag quest done.

You never skillup with me, Illuen.

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

PEISTE LEATHER? AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I spent over 2 hours soloing DC Peiste for a single Peiste Skin a month or two ago. I needed a second one, but for some reason there was one on the AH (!?) and TGM was available to buy it and send it to me.

This now worthless item is about to get a little bit expensive.

SE will probably add a few more ways to obtain those items needed.
Not easy ways, but I find it a tad hard to stomach that they'll leave the way to obtain more inventory space to the high end HNM shells and the super rich exclusively.

Have faith
