Gobo · 06-09-2008, 10:49 AM

This update is made of happy it seems. cant wait to DL it and start digging through everything.

Ellipses · 06-09-2008, 10:50 AM

Hopefully the new crafting rings are available early on and cheap.

Can't argue with cheaper chocobos.

And all the Fellow updates are nifty. Can't wait to see what the BFF points can buy.

I sure wish it was a new SMN avy

I feel sad now

Grizzlebeard · 06-09-2008, 10:52 AM

Wonder what how the resistence adjustments on the named HNMs works out.

Rest of the update looks nice, I'll be interested to see the recast times on the new spells.

Much Q.Q for those of us who have 65 NPCs if that's the case....

the new pearl line refers to the npc selection quest only and not the level cap

I'm pretty sure they just mean you can turn in your pearl if you want to get a different face and personality with the new system.

Depends on how long it takes for them to allow us to down load.

People keep saying that but I don't recall it. Even in the begining of CoP, when you first fight Diabolos, he's trying to help humanity...just in his own bizarre way. Alex, Odin and Bahamut are more for the planet or their own needs then us mortals, plus all three have their massive boss fights and are considered some of the strongest monsters in game.

And I still say Ix is an HNM ala the Sandworm who will pop at any outdoor past Zone.

Feba · 06-09-2008, 11:09 AM

Maybe because I wasn't talking about what the avatars motivations are?

Hell, the plotline for the 6 originals is basically "They're sleeping. Some little taru asshole came along and they kicked the shit out of him so they could get back to sleeping."

SE has said their reasons for not adding those avatars (I remember this specifically for Baha and Alex, not Odin though) was that they were too powerful, and they felt they would have to limit them too much. Which doesn't really make sense, because the other avatars are significantly weakened as well when used by players (they could even just make it "It doesn't matter how powerful the avatar itself is, it's limited by the strength of who summons it" which makes total sense); but that's what they said.

EDIT: Oh, and the thing about having massive boss fights and being considered some of the hardest in the game also goes to Diabolos and Fenrir. At least, if you don't take the "throw a bunch of Astral Flow at it" route.

Zempten · 06-09-2008, 11:09 AM

Is it just me or did anyone else not read anything about the Nyzul Isle Weapons?

Phanex · 06-09-2008, 11:12 AM

All in all, a nice update, a few changes where ppl shouldn't be /crying too much. Althouth it would be nice if they trew in some new Death Animation for our Characters. Not saying i see it often, but meh, they old too.

They didn't but S-E Said they would be in this update, and didn't list alot of the items, .dat mining soonish hopefully.

Zempten · 06-09-2008, 11:16 AM

Actually maybe Ixion is going to be an avatar later on? I mean they added new terms in the auto-translator that looks like moves of an avatar . . .

Game Terms 2 Splitting Heirs
Game Terms 2 Cracking Shells
Game Terms 2 Plucking Wings
Game Terms 2 By Light of Fire
Game Terms 2 Prying Eyes

alright fine . . maybe it's just the moves he uses when you fight him hehe
