Changes to the Arch Dynamis Lord and Drop rates

[Prrsha]

※過去の投稿、絶対防御／連環計についての経緯と今後の予定について（12月4日） (http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/28916?p=383753&viewfull=1#post383753)をご覧になっていない場合には、まずはそちらからお読みください。


こんにちは。

バージョンアップ以降、レギオンや新ナイズル、新サルベージ、ミーブル・バローズなどをプレイし、
様々なご意見をお寄せくださりありがとうございます。
　
　
◆絶対防御の調整の説明においてスキル上限600でお伝えしていたことについて

調整内容をお伝えする上で、今すぐ600に到達できるかのように受け止められる伝え方になっていたこと、
開発チームが現状を正しく理解していないように受け止められる伝え方になっていたこと、
またすぐにフォローができていなかった点、お詫びします。

今後の投稿においても、同様の説明をさせていただくケースもあると思いますので、
その時は、「現状では到達できないながらも、将来を見越してのびしろを残しているのだな」という
風に受け取っていただけるとありがたいです。

どのような伝え方、書き方であっても全員が一回で同じ理解になるのは
極めて難しいことですので、短い期間でのレスポンスや同じ内容でも表現を変えるなどで
工夫をしてコミュニケーションを図っていきたいと思います。

　
　
◆オーラの性能について

リゲインをリフレシュにしたのは、前衛のみならず後衛にも効果のある魔法にするためだと聞いています。

調整案を受けてこうして欲しいとご提案下さっている方の内容も拝見し、
ジョブ担当、コンテンツ担当とも検討を重ねましたが、このタイミングでやらなくはならないことであり、
やるからには中途半端なことになってはならないという観点から、
当初の調整案通りとさせていただきたいです。
　
　
◆コンテンツの調整について

どのコンテンツをどこまでという具体的な内容にまでは至っていませんが、
絶対防御とオーラの調整を適用することを前提に新ナイズル、レギオン、オーディン、
ヴォイドウォッチ（水晶竜まで）については、調整、再調整を行うことを担当スタッフと話をしています。
（上記調整の結果、新サルベージにも調整が必要であればそれも検討します。）

ただし、真闇王については、レリックの強化に必要な素材をドロップするモンスターでもあることから、
現状維持とする予定です。

また、ミーブル・バローズに関しては、年明けに予定している追加バージョンアップで
新たなプログラムを導入する段階で、新サルベージ同様、オーラの効果が調整後のものになります。

　
　
本日公開された「アドゥリンの魔境」を楽しいと思っていただけるよう、
また上記調整が必要だった、やるべきだったと受け止めていただけるように
一層気を引き締めて開発作業にあたります。どうぞよろしくお願いいたします。

Mentions a defense skill cap of 600.
Changes to obtaining Umbral Marrow and to the boss power in general.
Changes to regain refresh.

I'll leave the translation to someone better versed in Japanese then I. I'm having trouble with most of the translation.

Its apologizing for not fully explaining the Perfect Defense 600 Skill cap, something about in the future it will likely be possible to reach the 600 skill cap for it.

They're keeping ADL Exactly the same even after PD/Embrava nerf, Because he's used to upgrade relics.

Saying that the change from Regain to Refresh with Embrava was to benefit frontline and backline jobs. or something to that effect.

Touching sidegrade-provider content.
Not touching worthwhile content.

I'd be sad if anyone could tribox their 250 marrows !

I'd be sad if anyone could tribox their 250 marrows !Yes, it would be, and sorry you don't find other content worthwhile, but your not the judge of what content is worthwhile either.

Yeah the more I go over it now (and the following posts) it seems like he is keeping the drop rate the same. It seems he is changing the boss strength however. He seems very vague to what he will do to ADL however. There is a following heated discussion to what will be done. Some posts speculate that he will raise the difficulty of ADL or might lower it.

Hello!

Thank you for all of your feedback since the version update regarding the new Nyzul, Legion, new Salvage, and Meeble Burrows.

*About the Perfect Defense effectiveness cap at 600 skill

Along with the contents of the adjustment, it should have been conveyed that it is not currently possible to reach 600 skill. There was a misunderstanding between the development team and readers on this point, and I apologize again for not having followed up sooner.

In future posts when we discuss the description of similar adjustments, we will mention something like "while it cannot be reached at present, we anticipate future additions which allow the target to be reached," etc. Since we have different people commenting in various places, it may take some time to change the responses to express this information, but we will review our communication policies.

*About the performance of Embrava
Part of the reasoning for converting the regain to refresh was to make Embrava a spell that was not only effective for front line jobs, but useful for support jobs as well.

Under the proposed adjustment, there were many proposals from people who wanted changes. We are performing repeated studies with the game content to determine the proper timing for implementing these changes, and we will not implement the change in a halfway manner. When we do make the adjustment, it will be that of the initial proposal.

*About content adjustments
We have not yet determined to which content the adjustments will be applied. I must talk with the staff regarding adjustments to New Nyzul, Legion, Odin, and Voidwatch (through Provenance) before making any further adjustments. (As a result of this change, we considered it necessary to make the Embrava adjustment specifically for the new Salvage.)

However, regarding Arch Dynamis Lord, because this particular monster drops materials necessary to strengthen relic weapons, we will maintain the status quo and not make any further adjustments.

As for Meeble Burrows, in the beginning of the year when we introduce new expeditions, the new effect of Embrava currently in place in Salvage will also be extended to Meeble Burrows.


As you know, today we published a lot of new information on Seekers of Adoulin. We definitely need to make these adjustments above as we continue with the development work. Thank you very much.

I'd be sad if anyone wasted their time getting 250 marrows. Oh, sorry.

Many thanks! :3

[Damane]

there is a reason why its called AFTERglow

[MarkovChain]

Due to things like ADL being required to upgrade relic you can be certain that PD will never be weakened and that they'll keep throwing bosses with retarded move at us.

[Protey]

I'd be sad if anyone wasted their time getting 250 marrows. Oh, sorry.

that's not the half of it. who would even use the WS Final Heaven to activate it? VIT modifier {no thanks}
