Newest interview (abyssea was a mistake?)

[Arcon]

I doubt they will do very much at all with tweaks to current events, last stand will probably be fail like WoE and the dungeon crawl system will probably never happen. Doesn't even have a freaking name. They still haven't added the "don't lose curor buffs" etc things they promised let alone that kind of stuff.

So yeah, more VW.

Good point. I missed the new WoE walks. So he missed ~86% of the announced content. I missed ~14% too, so can't really blame him. That's what happens when they announce so much new stuff.

Stop being such a fucking hippie, Runspider. Now you're just talking to argue, nothing else. So what if it actually is fail? You called VW fail too. So why should he count VW but not that? And when have they ever announced something and not released? And what does their inability to fix losing cruor buffs have to do with it? If the last ten years have taught us anything it's that they'll keep releasing content regardless of how broken the old content (or even new content) is. Stop spouting bullshit already, crawl back to the hole from whence you came and go stab your Tanaka doll with a letter opener, since you obviously love blaming him so much for everything bad in your life.

[Runespider]

So angry XD

I never said VW was fail itself, I think most people that do the event find it quite enjoyable. Whoever was in charge of the drop system messed it up is all *stabs voodoo doll*. If the drop system wasn't crap it would among the better things they added to the game, since they want to keep the crappy drop system though yeah..not so much.

The tweaks to old content will be just that, tweaks. I doubt they do major additions (if they do I'll be pleasantly suprised) so that's not stuff to look forward to. What I said about the curor buffs/daily reward system not happening was more to state that they want to do a lot of things but since they cut the staff and budget they can't follow through on most of it, I'm not making stuff up it's just what's happening.

BS, I've had Apandamek chase me for long enough to use two TP moves without anyone hitting him. Long story short is that our brewer's time ran out and we had to hold him long enough for someone to run back and get one for the last few we had left. If these NM's don't have regain then they have ridiculously high store TP or their AI's are programmed to give them free moves periodically.

=>

Casts Thunder IV and Thunder V on himself occasionally to heal for a small amount of HP. More importantly, after any type of thunder damage is absorbed (player-cast or self-cast), it will level up and follow up immediately with Fulmination.

AI!
and even if it was not a "forced fulmination" 1mob having regain doesn't mean everyother have. Nynja never said that no monster have regain but

In fact most mobs that people claim to have "TP Regain" actually dont.

Once again...battle mechanics. If you allow Apademak to be healed from any Thunder element, it gains a potent Regain effect and unlocks Fulmination.

so yes, what I bolded is true. Congratulations, you're getting the point.

If he kills anyone at all he levels up and gains access to Fulmination. If he kills someone with Fulmination, he levels up and gains access to it again. If he casts any sort of Thunder on himself, he levels up and gains access to Fulmination. Basically, you need a fast cast Black Mage (or two normal Black Mages) with Stun at all times on him.

[Kimble]

Actually, the revamp stuff is on the tail end of the timeline they gave us and that is when it gets added to the test server so most of that stuff you listed wont even be in game for 7-8 months.

And I meant as far as new things, not "lets update old events and slap new stuff in it but basically do the same content we have been doing for 5-7 years"

Honestly it isnt "new" stuff. If all we are getting is more VW and rehashed events, the future is kinda bleak.

Last Stand and Dungeon crawl we have be given no info on.

Yes the future is kinda bleak unless they take notes from Phantasy Star Online and Monster Hunter, 2 japanese games that are very successful - SE kinda copied this in the form of Moblin Maze, Walk of Echoes, Campaign, ToAU Assault, Einherjar, Nyzul Isle and Salvage to an extent. But they did half ass jobs and leave them there without revisiting and tweaking it.

As for Last Stand and Dungeon Crawl - look no further than Moblin Maze + Assaults + Walk of Echoes, it won't be that groundbreaking. They can create several mini dungeons with objective (assault), same boring dungeons that you have to do over and over (walk of echoes, moblin maze, nyzul) or just one very looooong dungeon/area (dynamis). Whichever they choose, it would be fine as long as we are not being given the usual "super low drop rates" and hamster wheel grind for 2-3 years to get one item done

He actually levels up if anyone dies at all regardless of whether he killed them or not.

[Greatguardian]

He is Apademak the world-eater. He devours the souls of fallen heroes in the realm of Sovngarde and gains access to stronger shouts.

Just make sure to use Dragonrend whenever he tries to fly, or like cast thunder on himself, man, and he won't shout you to pieces.

Also, shoot him in the knee.

[Zemarin]

They coulda just made Dynamis mobs give 600-1000xp a piece and bam there would be Abyssea in a nutshell. They wanted money so they made us pay 30 dollars for 3 new areas that do nothing more then breed ppl who afk for bypassing most the games content and making the older parts of the game "obsolete"...

also toss up Magian Trials as a bust to, it only makes sense for empereyan weps and ele staffs... killing 70000 mobs for a 'weak' weapon is boring and takes alot more time then it looks.
