dev1037 New Battle Effects

[Abriael]

Yeah... so, will this mean the magics will actually do damage? o.O

Currently we lack a true "Black mage" for endgame. CON is pretty much useless other than Protect and Shell II.

Really now? I see them doing plenty damage. Not being the most powerful damage dealer of the game (and black mages weren't in FFXI as well), doesn't mean not doing damage, or not doing enough.

Anyway:
+1 for bigger spell effects.

Ok it looks better but seriously why has this made the main page of the lodestone and isnt there more important things to be doing with the game other than enlarging the effects by .5

By how it's worded it's quite obvious that every DEVXXX post will will now "make the main page". Wich is a good way to instigate discussion on them and for drawing attention on dev discussion from people that usually don't post on the forum (like you, very possibly, cinsidering that this is your first post).

You know, the lodestone is made to announce stuff. I don't see a reason to limit that kind of usage only to hype major features.

Show more respect! SE was working hard since half a year to rescale the old battle effects!
Seriously tho, i am happy about every lil change.

[Arcell]

Kind of disappointed that they only put one thing up and all it was is an effect size increase. Hopefully we'll get some real details on the battle changes soon.

I like them they still tastful. This is prob part of the battle change update they are releasing the cosmetic stuff slowly to gage our reactions. Like the new icons pic were released to the japanese forums Se the new aggro icon thread it links to the new icons.

They enhanced it by 1.5 to 2. An improvement in my opinion. It helps for a quick fix to the problem instead of waiting longer for some of the possible reworking of the visuals.

enlarging the effects ok....but i still hope that they completly rework most of them.
it's not that they are too small, tho some magic could use some enlargement, but most of all, they look plain boring >_<

i still dont see why are they worth a lodestone page...
i mean i am grateful that they are doing it, but why not just release a long notes with pretty screenshots?

i felt rather dissapointed, its a minor change.. this is not what i wanted to read after waitin for weeks lol

Every devXXX thread should (and it's most probably going to be looking at how this one is worded) posted on the lodestone from now on. It's a good thing for the developer to work on attracting the attention (and opinions) of the many that don't normally visit the forums on development topics, otherwise you'll have always the same people (representing the vast minority of the playerbase) offering isight on the development topics themselves.

Waiting "weeks" by the way? Interesting, considering that the latest producer letter was five days ago. Elastic sense of time maybe?

im not interested in letter of producer, only interesting read is upcoming content and that is the exciting part.
dont even start with last update being 1 week ago, that shouldnt even be counted as update.

Argg, I wish I could click on the picture to enlarge it but I can't because of some stupid error.
