Beastman Strongholds

[syntaxlies]

I'm pretty sure this is just a sample of one you guys.
I'm sure there is at least one for each beast tribe in their respected areas in this patch.
Or at least i'd hope so.

i was 100percent expecting 3 strongholds, now im not so sure.

would have been nice to divide the server up though so were not all in one spot.

This isn't going to be the only stronghold. XD

well i know theres going to be at least one more cause a while back SE showed a concept sketch of what would be the kobald stronghold. and i wouldn't be surprised if they also have the bird people's stronghold too.

im not sure if they are all going to be implemented on 1.19 but im expecting them to implement the other 2 shortly after

Just like you will deny anything negative about XIV. But at least its doing far better than XIV and only lost 100k Koreans, where as XIV lost over half a million worldwide lol. So I think TERA is doing something right! Even had a leave increase and has many more dungeons and strongholds than XIV and its been out less, in less countries, with plenty more people.

Back to the topic though since people like to derail, this content will not be challenging for a long time, the only time it will be challenging is when no one does any of it anymore because then you wont have other people killing your claimed mobs. So it will be a complete zerg/unchallenging content for a good while.

And there wont be zone links as mobs give up after like 5 seconds XD



It only calls for backup from mobs around, regardless of type but i see hear it will be just the beastmen. Also even if more spawned and it came, the NM would due so quick due to 50 people slamming on it, the adds wont mean much.

it also says that enemy will only call for backup one time. beings that se has not said otherwise i will not assume it will.

i meant in 1.19, i know there will be more.

if thats what you meant too, then lets hope so.

...did you read the part in the notes that mentions "Other strongholds will be scattered throughout eorzea in 1.19"?

for at least the first month this will be a slaughter fest. should make hitting 50 easy on my thm though since i can aoe every target on screen and get xp for everything that dies. If you cant claim the nm either things are gonna get crazy.

hopefully its a maze.

You only get XP for the ones you claim, if your aoe everything people will just let you die.

FFXIV never had this luxury. This is something that is not a secret. So, why do people ridicule it when they know very well what the reasons are. It is not unreasonable what SE had done when they got the message they f***ed up. I'm getting a little off topic. What I am trying to say is this situation is unlike what most "modern MMOs" are going through. So, why hold that standard to them when it is common knowledge that their development schedule is patch release to patch release? This isn't like other MMOs where they never had to redevelop their game and could work on a very much planned timeline of expected completed and released content.

It's mainly people like Viion, yet he continues to stick around for no reason.

That's probably the most absurd (and presumptious!) statement I've ever heard. Find me one developer commentary/comment/post/blog related to a single MMO of any type that says "So this new content we've just added took us a week."

He can't, and he'll gladly ignore you or twist it around to try to make him sound right. It's what he does.

Just like you will deny anything negative about XIV.

I deny anything negative about FFXIV...? lol Sorry that the MMORPG you like is failing and you can't accept that it's not as good as you think. You really don't read anything I post then, considering I always state that XIV would have been better off building off of FFXI, meaning I'm pretty much stating that there's a lot of negative developments with XIV and even SE admits they screwed up, so think of a better counterarguement that actually makes sense. Also, Tera didn't lose "only 100k koreans" lol, it's constantly losing people which is why they're scrambling and hoping the next 'grand' update stimulates the game. Not to mention over in the Japanese side, many still feel the price is too much for what little the game offers, so unless things heavily change with Tera, it's not in a good state at all. Not to mention the delay into 2012 for the western release wasn't helping it's image nor hype at all. Much like SE with XIV, they're pushing to make the next release "the saving the grace", Tera is actually getting more expensive to develop for than they are actually making in net profit.

Try harder.

But at least its doing far better than XIV

"But at least it's doing far better than a game well known to be mocked for being released in a poor condition!"

Again, that's basically choosing the lesser of two evils, but considering your hacking ways, I doubt you know what that means.
