New Instanced Raids (03/07/2012)

They need a full build running on the test client and server, if they don't it could make things unstable, remember the cure bug in ffxi, all cures would hit undead for 9,999, cure was not even touched, changing one part of a program can bug completly unrelated parts.

There are still only 5 skills for jobs. If you check the Monk's skills the 3rd bar has 3 skills with the monk symbol on them(Hundred Fists, a Kick looking spell and Fists of Wind). The second bar has another (Dragon Kick) and the first bar has the dash looking spell.

If anything, I want to know what those marks on the skills mean.

Edit: Nvm, seems like its the direction needed for the combo.

Also seems like he's using Fist of Wind but no MP loss when he fights the chimera, maybe the outcome of the MP refresh from bard? Second Wind seems to take no TP as well, this is quite interesting o.O

I noticed throughout that whole video pretty much only PLD takes any damage. It doesn't seem to be a lot of damage either. So it seems the mobs in here don't AoE often if at all, including bosses, cause WAR and MNK are straight up in there.
It also seems that PLD is an awesome tank, holding all the mobs while taking minimal damage. This kind of makes me question how "challenging" this dungeon is. These people don't appear to be struggling at all. Also note that they're getting along fine with their stationary casting and without all their cross class abilities.
Last, I noticed with the food buffs at chimera that PLD has over 4k HP while WAR had over 5k. I know they don't have +HP materia either since AF gear isn't meld-able... So either job stats, AF gear, or both are awesome.

Video was to show off the Dungeon, not the Damage people do or take.

The damage people do or take regarding mobs in the dungeon has a relation to the dungeon itself, does it not?

[Boterote]

i'm ready to kick that thing in the face

I wonder if there will even be enough people to make a group for this since the world merger isn't until the end of the month. I got to 50 later then everyone else didn't even get to do the old stuff because nobody did shouts for them.

People don't bother as much with older content basicly cause its old and they are tired of it(I havent done much besides crafting myself last few months)or don't feel like they got anything to do in game and simply don't log on as much.

Can expect to see alot of activity the coming weeks after patch.
You'll find this happen regulary in any MMORPG but its more noticable in smaller communities.

Remember Darkhold Video and its 8k Damage from the eye? Yeah, that was really in relation to the Dungeon.. I'm unsure how people beat Darkhold :P.

[Altanas]

the inflated HP is coming from the WAR(?) HP+ ability, fades around 3:17/3:18min, adds around 1000hp to the pld, differing amounts to mnk and mages

Im not THAT excited of watching the video... its almost the same appearance of a normal dungeon in Thanalan.

i would have loved somethin really different .



and why can a boss have not more than just one attack spot? a chimera would have been perfect to have maybe around 3 different attack spots (3 heads).


in Offline Final Fantasys we have that, where you can attack for example the head or the big hand of a big boss mob.. why not in FF Online for more complexity?
