    [dev1007] Voidwatch Emerges!



    The forthcoming version update will feature a new battle system called “Voidwatch.”

    In Voidwatch, bands of six to eighteen members will square off against “Voidwalkers,” savage entities that have breached planar bounds to invade multiple landscapes spanning past and present. By slaying these manifestations of terror, you and your stalwart comrades will gradually come to discover the true nature of the threat that has all of Vana’diel up in arms.

    The upcoming May patch contains the first installment of this new challenge, and readies eighteen fields whereupon you will duel the dreaded Voidwalkers. The battle will expand to yet more areas in ensuing releases.

    We will provide more information regarding Voidwatch in subsequent announcements, so stay tuned and steel yourself for battle!

    Thanks Yyg!

    "Voidwatch" seems to suggest a mechanic of staring at nothing, so this sounds like an update of the original HNM system.

        Feh, "the void."

        What good is all this power if you can't use it to destroy everything?!

          My first thought was "more Abyssea-related content?" but then turns out we're getting to fight Planeswalkers O.O;

            What I think of when I read "Voidwalker" is 2 fold:

            1. lolripoffofWoW
            2. Planeswalkers from MtG

            The way they describe it being a series of NOTORIOUS MONSTERS that are THREATENING LIFE AS WE KNOW IT seems a little familiar. I remember the same being said of the Mega Bosses and Cataure from Abyssea. I woulnd't be surprized if all 18 of these new zones they'll give us each have a "mega boss" Voidwalker that needs killin'. I'm anxious to see what they look like.

            I would love to see a new TYPE of creature like what they did with the Cataure. That was one of the things I enjoyed most about the new Abyssea zones... were those 6 fuckers.

            Gimme more-a that!

              Speaking of the Caturae, I finally figured out what they remind me of, which has been bothering me since I first saw them;

              They're just like the freaking Idols in TLR...

                    EverQuest did it first. And I'm sure something else did it before EQ.

                    This thread is depressingly low on ponies.

                          No. I mean, that's what they do most of the time, but solving world-ending problems isn't the only thing an RPG can be about.

                          If we want to get really general, most entertainment is about the ohnoes.
