Dynamis and Limbus Get a Makeover! (04/08/2008)

2005 - "Bawwwwwwww My experience points just dropped in value, every gimp is gonna be 75 now and faster."

2006 - "Bawwwwwwww My Rajas/Tamas/Sattva Ring just dropped in value, every gimp is gonna have one."

2007 - "Bawwwwwwww they made it too easy to get merits in the form of Campaign. Every gimp will be fully merited in no time now."

2008 - "Bawwwwwwww Dynamis entry cost is cut in half, my relic is worthless now. Every gimp will have one."

What will 2009 hold!?
 
Finally Corsair AF2............Now only 6 more months to wait till i can play :(
 
Hmmm...

I'm betting on: "Bawwwwwwww they raised the drop rates on land HNMs and now my e.body/ridill is worthless! Every gimp will have one!"

Or the more likely to happen but less likely to be the new hot topic of complaint: "Bawwwwwwwwwww they raised the drop rate on Jailers, my torque is worthless now! Every gimp will have one!"

Realistically someone will find something that they feel is ruining the game and complain about it. This someone will probably either be missing a job or a social life outside of the game (Yes, I played the RL card. Feel free to warm your bonfire and set the stake.), and will feel that their accomplishment is somehow diminished by the fact that other people will now be able to make the same accomplishment without as much effort.

I will continue to not care whether SE's policies have degraded the hypothetical value of most of my gear, and just play the damn game assuming I still enjoy it a year from now. With WAR coming out, that's not incredibly likely, but honestly the player base of FFXI has been, on average and in my experience, a hell of a lot less annoying that that of most MMOs. I may maintain Raes simply because I like having a place to go to where I don't have to put up with the sort of raging smacktards that infest games like WoW.
 
Woo, PUP relic in Dynamis and AF+1 in Limbus.
 
Pink
Tan
Black

Does this mean that there's gonna be three new mobs to kill in Xarcabard?
 
"The Pup, Blu, and Cor mobs were sleeping all these years while Dynamis was taking place. The players going back in time woke them up and now their in Dynamis" <_< That's the story I see being made lol
 
I can see why SE decided not to make a new instance-style event for this though. And I can kinda see why they'd not want to make PUP/COR/BLU relic/af+1 questable, since it would probably upset people that got theirs the hard way.

Still, seems a bit lazy to just insert them into Dynamis/Limbus lol.
 
I think there were always cor goblins in dynamis, theres those ones that will reset everyones JAs buts its very rare indeed.
 
agreed, but that is a hard call. to shove them into Salvage or Einherjar seems a bit overkill, but there's really no reason to make an entirely new battlefield for only 3 new jobs, seeing as then no Black Mages, Paladins, etc. etc. would want to participate unless they were given an incentive.
 
I thought It would look like crap, but all the Relic armor looks pretty good, i personally do like BLU and Cor better than the pup one but meh. I just need to get to 70-75 in the next month! XD yay for summer school ending in two weeks then it's level grind hell.

I think it's good they're dropping the costs, money isn't easy to come by in this game. People need to look at the brighter side of things rather than constantly complain.
 
How long is this maintenance supposed to be scheduled for? It doesn't say on the higlights in PoL.

But that wouldn't make much sense. That would mean that the past would be changed as well as the present, because anyone who ran dynamis before would have been able to get the relic pieces for the jobs because the past has been changed, but they can't because they've already ran the runs but they shou
 
I don't think there will be new mobs or NMs for that matter.
They might as well implement it so that the respective AF can drop of any mob including the 15 Demon Nobles.

I could even see it happen that even those will no longer only drop the AF respective to their own job as normal demons or even the NMs from the city Dynamis' and Beacedine don't.
But might have a chance to drop any AF.

That's speaking only of Xarcabard.

If they are to implement new Mobs/NMs that will only make my job as puller more exciting. :)
 
Damn just when I thought i was free of Dynamis forever...

Actually, I have to somewhat disagree with the relic statement. People that obtained their relic weapons by, say, sponsoring their LS's Dynamis runs, I believe, will be rather pissed off. As now, when they will not only increase drop rate (whether or not this also applies to coins we'll have to wait and see), they also cut the cost to do Dynamis in half. This pretty much halves the value of their relic weapons, and halves the effort put in to obtaining them.

People that bought all the coins themselves will also be rather pissed off I believe, as the cost of coins will likely be reduced, while economy stays pretty much the same. Whether or not this changes in the future remains to be seen.

I would have to disagree and SE is doing now what they probably should have done before. If you think about it, it doesn't make getting relic weapons that much easier but more geared to today's economy. People were not complaining about Dynamis cost so much when gil was more available but the way it is right now doesn't fit. Taking lots of gil out of FFXI w/o lowering costs of events like Dynamis has actually made it more difficult to get relics than before.

Now about the talk of people being pissed off about the "value" of there said items being reduced is all perspective. IMO everyone who gets things done prior to it being easier should feel proud that they did it the hard way. One of my friends just finished his relic weapon and I think its great that he did so now. What happens a month or so from now won't change that at all. The very same can be said about THF knife, CoP etc. You busted your ass and just because things are different now doesn't make what you did less.

Does this mean the addition of BLU, COR and PUP mobs too?

And I expected the 500k price for dynamis, but the 15k for limbus is a shocker.

WOOHOO! I am glad I was barely making it with 60k a week ! this is awesome!

Oooh thanks, forgot that one. I see what you're getting at with the perspective issue though. It'll be a matter of time of course before we see "Relic holder since 2004/5/6" in bazaar comments, but after a while that'll get lost in the mix, just like all the THF knives, CoP wins pre-update, etc etc.

naw lol

Those are Goblin NMs with their special Dice ability. That wouldn't really classify them as a Cor because they each have a different job. But their specific ability is somewhat like how a Cor works, random.

Carste you don't need skill to buy gil to afford a relic =p.

Who says? I consider it a great skill to find a seller in the ffxi blackmarket. Besides scouring the internet for said seller (because we all know it's a difficult task and gil sellers are just not readily available), you have to hone your skills at avoiding the GMs and STFU.

I think this update is not going to affect a whole lot. We aren't going to see a sudden surge of new relic holders any time soon. There might be an initial surge at startup, but most will probably give up before making it to stage 3. Someone said the relic weapons are going to be less valueable now. Guess what. They're going to be the exact same value as they were before. They'll do the same damage, they'll give the same hidden effects, they'll give the same weapon skills, but most importantly, they'll still have no monetary gain tied to them. Only loss.
