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.

The cure bug is unrelated to not running a "full build". The cure bug was more likely due to change relating to the system behind the skills in that game.

This is what was related:

The effect duration of the white mage ability Divine Caress has been increased from 1 minute to 3 minutes.

If you don't know what Divine Caress is off hand: "If the next spell you cast cures a status ailment, your target will gain enhanced resistance to that ailment."

So it's pretty obvious why Cure on enemies got bugged lol.

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?

We have it in FFXI as well since ToAU (it may not look like it, but it's in place.)

I didn't know there was a chimera in Copperbell!

Seriously. It's identical to copperbell mine

[Elexia]

Yeah I don't get the complaints about "Dungeon looking the same", it's located in the same geography, what is it supposed to be? Go from Thanalan to a Space Dungeon?

Space dungeon is 2.0

That would be nice !

But seriously it could still look different, Nanawa looks pretty different to Copperbell for example.

Lets not forget that Sil'dah is under Thanalan either so they could have said there was a cave in exposing the entrance to the old ruins.

We;ve already seen some of it joining to copperbell with one of the The Lambs of Dalamud events, it would have made perfect sense to suggest that they were in fact the cause of it reopening.

...we still need a space dungeon though.

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

The hp/mp values shown in these videos tend to be a little bit above average. Also damage done to players often differs from "Real world" experience. Remember the party wipe caused by the eye in the dark hold video?

These videos are taken during testing while they are tweaking said parameters. And as such can not be used as evidence one way or the other.

well it would be cool...


imagening an "Offline Final fantasy" story scenario... getting imprisoned by a one of the wild tribes... or by garleans... fighting in an arena while the arena is filled with an audience shouting at you.


and YES hard to believe.. you can design an instance not always in a cave... it can also play "partly" outdoors... and the video of that new instance is the BEST example for no innovation... and that the biggest part of the team is working on 2.0. and not on the content till then..


seriously this is copy&paste of copperbell mine. and the only mob in there we havent seen so far till now is the chimera...

VERY disappointing... from the appearance of the dungeon, it looks really boring. i hoped for something deeply more "final fantasy"

...we still need a space dungeon though.

we need other than JUST CAVE instances! and than over and over JUST the same appearance... partly outdoor for the win.
