1.20a Patch notes

[Forte]

I've never seen so much childish epeen stroking in my life in one thread. What a great community /sarcasm

On topic, nice on the notes. Didn't expect the repair thing at all.

I have to agree it started so nice and on topic then it slipped, slide, and exploded into who has the bigger epeen. Need to have Horse Blinder put on people so they can only see what they are suppose to see as the topic is not on epeens but on the 1.20a notes.

I'm Impressed about the repair thing nice out of the blue item but most happy about the progress trackers on achievements now. *sits and watches the thread fall more into discord*

Does this mean we can no longer set our own prices for repairs AND the one needing repairs has to supply the Dark matter? So leaving the crafter only getting pure exp and gil at no expence? not sure if I agree with that. Mostly the not being able to set our own price.

Can someone confirm or deny this?

Only if you don't want to take off your equip.
There is still the old way.

[Murugan]

Placing a repair request requires both gil and dark matter. The amount of gil and grade of dark matter needed are determined by the repair level of the item, and are as follows:
•Level 1–10: 100 gil and grade 1 dark matter
•Level 11–20: 200 gil and grade 2 dark matter
•Level 21–30: 300 gil and grade 3 dark matter
•Level 31–40: 400 gil and grade 4 dark matter
•Level 41–50: 500 gil and grade 5 dark matter

You can still set repair the exact same way as always. This is just an additional option to quickly repair all your equipped gear and/or weapons.

Does who kills what first and how long the fight lasts really matter that mnuch guys?

geeze you act like you should be earning medals and getting paid to do it


but guess what, its a friggin game and no one cares but you!


im a whore when it comes to getting everything in games done, but i still dont go out of my way for alot of this cuz it really is just a pissing contest for the first 2-3 weeks and all the epeen going around is just too annoying to deal with like all of you are clearly showing now

this wins the thread. Couldn't agree more.

Also not sure if someone pointed it out yet...that thing with the aoe bug..they changed it so when you cast protect or ss on the tank in ifrit (example) it used to also hit you (the caster) but now it doesn't :/

In a game where items/gear aren't really THAT rare or hard to get then all you are left with to set yourself apart from everyone else is who does it first, who does it best, and who does it fastest.

Grow up please and stop being so immature. It's just a game and let just enjoy it. I wouldn't want to be in your Linkshell even if you can kill every primal battle that is released. I play my game to have fun and meet people, not a freakin contest and who kill first or fastest. Just keep it to yourself because none of us here really care. Go around and getting defensive and thinking your LS is the very best just make you guy a bunch of immature and taking the game way too seriously. It remind me of people in Wow all over again which is why I quit that game a long time ago, Final Fantasy community doesn't need this kind of people.

Im not sure where all this hate is coming from, but surely, even you would defend the integrity of your LS if they are accused? That was simply what DevilsAdvocate was doing. It was never intended to be a dick slinging contest of any kind, its just that someone implied that BG exploit, DA gave evidence that we do not, and then others jumped on the bandwagon of hating on BG. BG members treat each other like family, so if the Blue Garter name comes up into question, you better expect that one of us will come to defend it. That is all.

Welcome to every MMORPG to ever exist. Competition is healthy. Otherwise why even bother having PvP, or a Super Bowl, or the World Series. Why not just have an NPC that just gives away Relic weapons and best is slot gear? Everyone deserves it because everyone is equal right? Ha. Go back to whatever socialist world you came from or get used to the competition.

Too bad competition is none existence in FFXIV, so what is your point anyway? Everyone play style is different. If your is about trying to be the first or get it with fastest timer then more prop to you. That doesn't mean anything though, like I said before only you care and no one else. It not like if you get it first kill or get the fastest kill time you automatically get a trophy of some kind.

I play my game with friends and to have fun and meet new people. I do it at my own paste and not rush to get everything first or be the fastest because in the end it doesn't mean anything. I enjoy every contents and having fun doing it. Everyone will get it someday, being first mean nothing in this game or does get it with the fastest kill time. I feel bad for you guy that think every MMORPG is suppose to be a competition. I don't think Final Fantasy XIV is your type of game then, better get back to Wow or Star War Old Republic. There you can have PvP and competition. I don't see what you trying to compete in FFXIV because it is none existence.

So you said every MMORPG competition exist and is healthy, but let me ask you this. You kill Moogle Kingg first and get your weapon then run out of contents and just waiting there for new content. But then one week later I kill it and get my weapon as well. Do you think your weapon is better then mine? Don't think so. And don't know why you compare real life sport to a game, a game is just a game.

I posted this in another thread, but it certainly applies here as well:

[fusional]

so it's funny how the thread gets back on topic then shifts back to QQ. if we dropped it, why can't you?

i'd be more than happy to go word-for-word with you about it (and soundly defeat you), but it's moot. and yet you kids keep trying to get the last word on a subject that's already passed. so tell me again who needs to grow up.

now, that said-

You can still set repair the exact same way as always. This is just an additional option to quickly repair all your equipped gear and/or weapons.

^
and it is an absolute godsend for both the repairer and repairee, imo. there are obviously still things in the game that could use some work/changes/tweaks, but i'm consistently impressed with what yoshi's doing with things... especially considering he's developing an entirely new game on the side.

oh, and p.s.!

blah blah blah QQ projection etc.
Final Fantasy community doesn't need this kind of people.

rrrrrofl

uh, did you play FFXI? while they had stuff for all level ranges, for the better part of 8 years that game revolved almost entirely around endgame. and FFXI endgame was for world-spawn mobs you had to compete for claim over.

FFXI was an *intensely* competitive MMO experience in the PVE area (but lacking 'real' PVP). this game, by comparison, is absolutely care bear. everyone gets their own little instance and tries to act like because of this their actions have no impact on others and others' actions have no impact on them in turn. people running around willfully deaf dumb and blind.

then you come to the forums and spout this nonsense about not needing competition in an MMO? speak for yourself. not everyone uses these games as pretty chatrooms.

and protip: the devs don't exactly design these games with the "i want a pretty chatroom devoid of competition" type primarily in mind, either. i could just as easily use WoW as an example of why this or any other game doesn't need people like you.

however, i've been pretty candid about how the game needs players of all demographics, and needs to keep them happy, if it aims to succeed. but this doesn't mean that your demographic needs to ruin the game for mine, especially considering there is more pretty-chatroom-type content than challenging and competitive stuff.

and, again- no one from this LS has ever tried to take something away from players who don't like competition or challenge. we've never said all quests should be heroic difficulty, all crafting and gathering should cost billions of gil to fund and/or be nearly impossible to grind. we've never said class quests should take entire alliances hours to complete. we've never said petty level 30 NMs should be 8 hour spawns and/or be nearly impossible to kill solo. so why do your type keep trying to ruin our gameplay experience by insisting there be NO competition? by insisting there be NO challenge? by insisting we have NO place in this game? and LOL to that, anyway. hardcore players are what keep franchises alive. not the casuals that log in every few days or weeks to do the new seasonal quests, chat, then log out.

stop being self-centered, stop thinking the game needs to primarily cater to you and your type, and you and your type alone. BG members have never said everyone in the game needs to care about the things we care about and like the things we like. we also have our own individual opinions outside of the collective. we're just sharing our perceptions of things- DA is no exception. nowhere did he say you needed to hold the same values as he.

so, you want to talk about getting defensive?

l2reading comprehension. stop finding excuses to take offense to the tiniest little things which upset your delicate gaming experience. or simply don't read our posts. for the most part, we generally have absolutely no problem completely ignoring yours!

your baseless sense of entitlement is both baffling and revolting.





(yes, i realize i just contradicted myself by responding, but by all means- have the last word about it)
