That was clearly a nod to FFXI players by Fernehalwes.



I agree. I'm gonna miss waiting to see how big it gets with every patch... Now we just have dumb, boring stars!

It is not impossible for them to do it. If they have a time schedule then having a day schedule wouldn't be hard to make... And if I recall from the blog post they said a time they didn't say a date... So they can make it with respect to RL or in game time (they would have make it first) it would certainly be possible... I just hope they don't do it since it makes no sense why it works and makes it unneedly complicated...

They won't do it. There's absolutely no reason for them to do so. Don't worry.

It seems nice.
Hope to see constellations (that rapresents primals and stuff) in the sky too.

There's no reason for them to do a lot of stuff yet they do it. You can't speak for SE really.

They'll do it. There's absolutely no reason why they shouldn't do so. Be psyched.

Night time looks nice, but the lighting levels may still be a tad high. The white reflection around metalloid armor still seems to exist. I still think they can improve on that a bit. Then again that screen shot is really darn small, and i'm not a Paladin.

Any Paladins out there want to give your thoughts on it? How does the lighting compare to how the shield and armor normally look? Nice nod to XI Fern.

Oh, you're right. All those skills they worked on to improve crafting were just a cover for the RANDOM CHANCE of moon-phase crafting! That makes perfect sense!

:rolleyes:

Good job Fern on the HQ questions. Nice little throwback to the FFXI days.

About night time, this is another future I'm waiting for. Monster spawn changes with the time of the day, music changes and maybe even behavior of monsters ? (sleep, more agressive etc.). I'm only hoping my one year laptop will endure this ...
As for the moon phase myth, I also think this is working. HQ'ing is a bit easier with the right moon.

The chance could be as low as 0,1~1% and you wouldn't notice. You can't say it's not in the game for sure. :)
With that blog post he brought it up again and there will be people who'll be facing directions unless it is completely denied by SE :)
