Here it is. December update addresses MPK.

Sotomatic · 12-12-2005, 07:28 AM

I think this is GREAT! I know all of you BST complain about this affecting your play but out of the6 parties I've been in that have been MPK'd 5 of them were from BST taming and releasing monsters that we were fighting causing them to LINK. So for me SCREW all you BST and yeah for the rest of the world!

Well according to the update details it looks like they are catering to BST a little to it also. "Call Beast" gives then 100% exp now and "Reward" has a regen like effect to it, possibly to act similar as release use to do?

Still there are some things to this that could a little more difficulty for BST.

i wouldn't exactly call it catering. it's more of a bait-and-switch.

You can't MPK with ease anymore, but here, have some more exp. Oh noes, what a terrible bait and switch! How could SE do such a terrible, terrible thing to your job?!

BST can actually be useful in a party now too, without shooting themselves in the foot. Between Reward and some spare jugs they can keep a Call Beast pet out at least as easily as a DRG can keep his pet out, and get normal EXP while doing it. Plus they have wide scan, some ranged ability AND emergency add control, potentially making them even better pullers than RNG (if not fighting beastmen or other uncharmables). And it was already known that BST + pet does damage comparable to, if not higher than, normal DDs (assuming appropriate equip, subjob, etc. - not BST/WHM with a pure CHR setup) - the BST just refused to do it because they got less exp.

Beastmasters working with other players instead of against them? It's so crazy, it just might work!

If you have not played BST, please refrain from talking like you know what it's about. and for the last time BST != MPK

We don't have more exp. Call Beast has a 5 minute cool down. Um, yay? This does not replace Leave-recycle-pet-for-next-fight. along with the general crappiness of jug pets, I don't think this will give us close to the same xp we could get as before.

And if i wanted to be in a party with 5 potential idiots, i would not be playing BST.

Kafeen · 12-12-2005, 10:55 AM

No they can still be a solo job but they have the option to party easier than before by using jug pets without loosing exp compared with the rest of the party.

aegina · 12-12-2005, 10:57 AM

hmm... with this new information, it looks like they don't want bst to be a solo job anymore >.>...

The patch was made because of idiots mostly mpking in Romaeve for Shikgami weapon. People tried to kill me 4 times while camping for TOD. But the monsters just disappear so no problem. I think becasue of Yinyang robe 65% of mpking came from Romaeve. I can't be 100 percent sure but its the only area that is usually ppl get mpked.
Well I do see spiders show up at times in DA by Nidhogg whenever bsts are around that not in bigger LS in area waiting for NM. So I believe the bsts bring in spiders and other such monsters to break the strength of larger LS. So they can have chance at claiming. BST is a MPKing job so when there is action against MPK they will be effected. Y
Best can now get 100 percent exp in parties which is nice for them now. Thought I do understand they like being able to solo it was best part of job. All I can say is blame MPKers not SE.
