POL NEWS : New Assault Missions and Mercenary Rank! (05/24/2007)

[Dayner]

In the upcoming version update, we will be adding a new promotion quest to unlock the next mercenary rank, as well as a series of new assault missions.

Click here for details.


A new mercenary officer rank will be awarded to players that complete the new promotion quest to be added in the upcoming version update.

What unusual trials await as you strive to enter the upper hierarchy of Salaheem's Sentinels?

New Assault Missions
We plan to introduce five new missions to challenge players who have entered the mercenary officer ranks.
Here's a sneak preview of what lies in store:

- Wake the Puppet
During a previous mission to eliminate the Undead Swarm presence from Periqia, the Imperial forces were forced to abandon a valuable automaton upon their retreat. You are to infiltrate the area, locate the machine, and return it to Al Zahbi.

Red Versus Blue
Joint battle exercises are to be carried out between the Immortals (blue) and the Inexorables (red). You have been assigned to assist the blue team. The first side to defeat the leader of the other will be declared victor

These new Assault missions will provide an interesting and difficult challenge for even the most experienced mercenary!

Red vs Blue sounds lots of fun.

 

[mdkuser]

I can feel more retarded missions like it was the case in the last version update; ; we lost 6 Id Tag to do perqia and leujoam ones...fuck that.

 

[Khajit]

There's an S&M elf you gotta "quest" with for the "promotion?" O.0
I think I'll passs on ranking up.....

 

[pchan]

I hope the new rank item will be usefull.

 

[Khajit]

One of em is a perdu katana from .dat extractions made a month ago.

 

[Stouter]

More proof that elvaan males are incapable of looking anything but fruity.

 

[Zethren]

lol laughing so hard at this one guy right now

 

[mdkuser]

he reminds me the Green Beret guy in One Piece.

 

[Xalioniaf]

That wooden thing...isn't just for show?

 

[Mishaela]

One of em is a perdu katana from .dat extractions made a month ago.

Hate to say but I personally hope not. Ninja isn't exactly lacking in terms of accuracy or damage...at all. They're sortof leaning the other way, actually. It's also not like they don't lack amazingly good L70+ Katanas, either. It, again, is already vastly leaning the other way for them...

 

[Euphacent]

Why do you think the picture is cut off before the waist?

 

[Khajit]

DMG:27 Delay:190
Latent effect: DMG:32


It has no actual name in thye dats atm. It merely exists.

 

[Kizaryo]

:shock: Oh, my. That NPC looks gay. (lol)
Lets call this NPC, Pierre for now. (lol)

I can image him coming out of the closet, and saying..
Pierre: Oh, ho ho. My name is Pierre, and I've come to share my happenis with you. (>.<)

Please put...that...that..thing you are holding there...put it down..and put on the some clothes while you're at it.

 

[Negorissimo]

Any new items that are avialable for high ranks only?

 

[K. Ishitar]

More proof that elvaan males are incapable of looking anything but fruity.

unfortunately this ran across my mind as well

 

[Calais]

Good god, who are they getting to design these new NPCs, Hard Gay?

Actually, nevermind. Even Hard Gay has better taste than that.

 

[Eleibfrid]

I think the developers of FFXI really like playing Halo.

First Red vs. Blue, and with assault ranks, we have Sergeant, Sergeant Major, Chief Sergeant.. wouldn't be surprised if the next rank was "Master Chief"!

 

[Rappa]

Jamal, nooooooooooooooooooooo

 

[Kizaryo]

Any new items that are avialable for high ranks only?

Not sure.
Most likely that will be the case.
Didn't they do that for CS rank?

I hope the items will be cool ones though.
Most of them tend to be geared towards Besieged.

I wouldn't mind getting new gear and goodies that help during Assaults and/or out of instanced events/battles.
