Any idea what "The level adjustment in Legion has been abolished owing to the implementation of Ambuscade, which takes place in the same area." means for Legion itself?

April 5th, 2016 Version Update
I believe Legion mobs still had level correction in effect, which was no longer implemented on anything from SoA and onwards. They probably got rid of that. If it's Ares's set, there's probably another armor file. I could be wrong, but it feels right.
Legion level correction elimination will likely make the event substantially easier to solo for staghorn corals/etc. Given their changes to voidwatch, things like sealord leathers should be easier to farm now too. The sticking point in churning out HQ abjuration sets is just going to be VNM.

No mention of metal plates, wonder if they just didn't bother putting a notice about it or if it's held off until later.

I have a small follow-up to my previous post. As mentioned, we will be looking into other avenues for obtaining heavy metal plates; however, simply increasing the item drop rate is hard to do. Doing so would change some of the fundamental specifications of the content itself. With this in mind, we are thinking of the following adjustments:
With these adjustments participating in the content should be easier than before. The vulnerability and alignment system will remain as is, but we will follow up on this with campaigns after April and look into further adjustments to the cell items. For the moment, we would like to see how these adjustments affect game play. Asura.Saevel said: » Holy ***... the heavy DD armor. Tons of +accuracy and -DT. Now I'm gonna have to redo some of my WAR's -DT sets. Those are some crazy stats. Does those gears makes previous sets obsolete? Asura.Floppyseconds said: » Lakshmi.Konvict said: » Cell effects trippled, incoming HMP/dross/cinder price drop. Umm nope. Literally changes nothing. Lol What it does mean is we can grab 10 stacks(120 pops) and go do Kaggen all day since we can also use void stones stocked on the npc now. Almace here I come!

He also had that line in there which means they were thinking about adding other sources, but I guess they couldn't find a balanced way to introduce more HMP into the system (or they just ninjaed it). I don't know what people are moaning about with regards to the new armor set being WAR/DRK/DRG focused. Those jobs need a buff, bigtime. Weakness with the set is that it comes nowhere near to capping gear haste: 10% in total. You therefore need 15% in other slots to cap, unless you can put Haste on them.

Does those gears makes previous sets obsolete? Well for -DT and Hybrid gear it does, my WAR gonna get some love. For pure TP I doubt it but it does provide some alternatives to throwing stones at Escha gear or spending bajillions of gil on HQ Emicho / Argosy.

That mean the mobs levels were raised? And in this update, the levels were lowered? Wasn't the content easy enough anyways?

I suspect it's just another promise that they hope we'll just forget about. will likely go out and try some VW tomorrow, I have a Wardrobe 2 to fill and then sleep to be had. You can now buy any item for the RME process via Hallmarks obtained via Ambuscade. Let the games begin, and the prices plummet!
Can buy HMP's with points from new content.
HMP: 200 Alexandrite: 15 HPB: 35 Cinders: 1500
I bet some people look stupid right now for bitching about hmp
4.5 hmp a day per person if you do both VDs, 3 if you do both Ds, 1 if you do both Ns, 0 if you do less than N. Supply fixed!!!
good luck getting in looks like only 1 party or solo person at a time

They already said they are going to change what you fight in Ambuscade every month. oh completely forgot about that ty sir KnifeKatRengar said: » Odin.Llewelyn said: » darkwaffle said: » Any idea what "The level adjustment in Legion has been abolished owing to the implementation of Ambuscade, which takes place in the same area." means for Legion itself?

Quote: Exchanging for Items You may purchase your desired item or items in exchange for hallmarks. There is a limit on the number of times you may purchase a given item. Hallmarks that can be used in this manner reset each version update. I'm wondering if those "certain items" include the RME currencies and mats you listed? The limited items most likely refer to the total hallmarks items, which seem to only allow you one purchase per...phase, I suppose.
VW is not working for me - have I read something wrong? Perhaps I am just crazy, but I switched all my mules to "Stock" voidstone mode at the appropriate NPC, then popped using a voidstone KI on my main (since you can't pop from the "stock"), got the "no voidstone expended...rewards will be limited message" (no KI voidstones in inventory to test if this works), and upon kill, sure enough, just exp/cruor. What exactly have I missed here?
Furthermore, if the popper has to have a KI voidstone, all this patch has done is add convenience for the non-popping characters and mules (provided it works as intended). Popper will still have to return to restock every 6 kills, unless I've somehow misunderstood the patch. Can someone please clarify? |
