September Version Update Preview: Part Two (03/09/2008)

I'm up to 80k AN + the entire IR set, Waiting on wings to rank up which the current medal expires on the 22nd. I just need to know the date so I can know now whether I should redo the medal...
 
Hmm so they making Nyzul easier than it is already. I think Ill do those new ws quest and start on nyzul.
 
This is one of those "Who are you and what have you done with our dev team" updates.

Copious quantities of win, then drizzled with awesomesauce.

They finally recognized that Easy Prey and Decent Challenge mobs are almost never Easy Prey or Decent Challenges and will reward us with more XP. Wow.

And the Nyzul Isle changes are fan-mother-fucking-tastic. Increased weapon drops, no more Runic Disc clears, Runic Discs act as 100 keys, and everyone getting clears for floors.

It's like this guy was ejected from Nyzul Isle.

Seriously, who are you and what have you done with our dev team?

I don't have the rank, all of the IR set so far, and I don't quite have the level to wear them but I am looking forward to them releasing the last piece too. Just another thing to add to my list of things I want. It would be nice to know when to expect this update.

lol Nah' Wakky, I think they just hired the dev team from WoW. It's obvious, they're making this game easier. WoW is easier then FFXI, that much is obvious. So how do you keep some crowd from jumping ships? This update should help.
 
Wow nyzul isle overhaul is sweeeet
 
Well we only got 27 more days in the month... its gotta be right...around... that.... corner.

I love it, now i can solo all my jobs to 37. Thank god for no dunes> garlaige anymore

This also means that the duo/trio parties are gonna get even more of an xp boost now huh?
 
They did say "early" September iirc, so one assumes next week.
 
Man this update looks so awesome~ can't wait to get back ingame to play now, x.x;
 
I'm kinda sad feels like they took the challenge out of nyzul :\
 
That's not challenge. That's mindless repetition.

SE is apparently finally discovering that there's a difference between the two.

With any luck they'll apply this principle somewhat more broadly.
 
I think they are doing all of this, cause people are quitting the game at an alarming rate. Updates all sound good, but the game is pretty lame nowadays. The only part I really enjoy anymore is Nyzul Isle.
 
Nyzul isn't challenging though. If anything, you'll occasionally get the asshole runs with ENEMY LEADER SPECIFIC ENEMIES SOULFLAYERS RIDING CHARIOTS WITH FLANS STICKING OUT OF THE SIDES OH GOD IT'S CASTING DEATHGA V HOW WILL WE SHIIIIT.
It's not hard though.
 
Challenging and hard are totally different words skill wise it's not hard but the objectives are still sometimes challenging
 
So they're not taking the challenge out of nyzul if all they're doing is getting rid of the disc wipe.

Right. They're taking the grind out of it. Doing something over and over =/= difficulty.

Poor kiki solo'd so many jobs, and now they finally make some benefits for soloing lol

Either way, it looks like they finally understand that people have lives outside of this game. Well, not everyone. But a couple people do.

Ah relax, it just means I will solo even faster than before, so your gain is also my gain. :biggrin:

But, it depends. I rarely go for anything not EM and above. So it might not affect me, but if it means I can charm an EM and rape every EP/DC mob around me, then so be it, but that isn't feasible for me until Level 70 (subjob BST).

Maybe in the lower levels...

thats no challenge. from what I hear nyzul is easy, it just require doing the same thing over and over. Like many thing in the game actually, so its all welcome.
 
my god those NYZ changes make me so happy. less B*tching from everyone wanting their own disk to 100... and weapon drops from every boss, anyone can active the lamp at the start this is good stuff!
 
Wonder how many people will still find glitches and stuff to exploit for xp now that it sounds like there's pretty much no reason to bitch anymore about xp being difficult to obtain.
