Atomos, Cait Sith, Meteor, Spike Flail: still on the way?

[Camiie]

I'm sure for Meteor you'll have to defeat Absolute Virtue or King Behemoth 500 times.

For Cait Sith I'm guessing you'll have to beat the WotG storyline along with all 3 past nation questlines. Then you'll get a quest where you have to farm up a bunch of items to get an NPC to craft another item that may not turn out to be suitable. If not, you have to farm it up again. Then you'll have to face off against an army of Cait Siths in a BCNM that will require 18 people. When you win you'll get an avatar that even though it essentially requires you to be level 99, it will be comparable in power to the avatar you received with your SMN at level 1 for reasons of BALANCE!!

Atomos will be obtainable by completing all wotg missions and nation quests. You will have to farm some relatively common new drop off of past Beastmen. You will then participate in a battle with up to 5 other people against Atomos. Atomos will then be useable during Astral Flow. He will have a low chance to "lure all enemies into an eternal time warp" if that fails however, the effect will be Dispel instead.

It has been determined that Spike Flail would be too powerful for BLU so it will not be implemented. In an unrelated announcement, DRG will be given the ability Call Wyrm on a 1-hour timer. The DRG's Wyvern will be automatically dismissed. The summoned wyrm will appear on the battlefield and use the AOE ability Spike Flail on the DRG's targeted foe then be automatically dismissed.

I doubt they'll have you fight Atmos by itself, only did it for alexander and odin cause they already had them in the game, just need to tweek them alittle. the Atmos and Cait Sith fight will probly be the same as it was in the mission, but with them being stronger since the cap is now 99.

Atmos in the BC Didn't Attack, and only had 2 moves, Soul Vacuum- AoE stat Drain, and Soul Infusion- granted all the drained stats to Cait Sith. As much as I would like to see 2 seperate BCs so I can get awesome day/weather items from both, Atmos doesn't leave much to work with so the BC will probly be the same as the missions fight. unless they want to come up with abunch of new moves and attacks for him to use in the BC just to not have him use when you get him. At the end of the BC you'll get the option of items or Avatar, and it'll be either both or do the fight twice.

as for the Astral FLow move, bet its the same as the BC, he'll do Super stat Drain (stat goes to 1 on the mob, just like in the BC) and then grant them to the summoner or the pty, it'll be AoE or Single target. the Stat will be random but would be drained for awhile. so By Itself not really worth it, but maybe if you had 4 summons use it on the same mob. then you have a chance of 4 of that mobs stats going from uber to 1, unless you unlcuky and get the same stat drained.

Cait Sith would be Level ? Holy, with the regular moves changed up alittle, i can see smn getting the light based AoE Sleep/tp reset, but not the Gaze amnesia and silence

Well I was being very facetious and even then I didn't really think my satirical humor through all that well.

maybe i should have trimed my quote down more, was only making a reference to you saying 2 seperate fights and having auto kill.

[Camiie]

Nah you have a good point. They'll rehash, reuse, recycle whenever possible.

Yup agreed, basically nothing new this year, just cut and paste stuffs - not when they are focusing on relaunching the big fail of 2010 as version 2.0 - same shit with different coloring and slightly altered putrid smell. As for XI - we are getting more ridiculous trials and shitty drop rates on things that takes hours to get a group together - back to where things were, party like it was 2004 again

That's because this game is restricted. Whatever you think of XIV it can improve. This game is running on borrowed time.

Legion is just a new form of Einherjar. pay to enter BC, mobs drop gear and points, after you clear all 3 basic chambers you gain access to the next ones. wouldn't be surprised if you lose your Legion win KIs after you enter the super chamber.

Thats assuming SE can do what has never been done before which is LOL at best. With them showing no plans on doing away with CnCrap or improve the payment options that will be IGNs lead in to the next review. Then on top of they will be following other MMOs that have far more going for them. So in short BOTH games are on barrowed time.

Come on guys! After 2 years of build-up and so much excitement and wonder, I finally beheld the stunning climax of being able to cast...

Cura IIII

and...
Gravity II

and...
Regen V

Seriously SE has turned the concept of Overpromise and Underdeliver into an art form. No one does it better.

I do think Meteor, Cait Sith and Atomos will appear eventually. Like everything else SE will just drag them out so long that when they are implemented it will feel relieving rather than exciting.
