No, "Layered zone" is the way they've consistently referred to their instancing system.

Here's an idea - release some open world *** content.
Create some new damn HNMs that drop +10 QA Swords, Movement speed +25% boots, Purple Hauberks with str+100 dex+100! A gold sword that has DMG taken -50%! A Body that has refresh +10! Make these NMs pop once every 24-36 hours. God forbid the community starts wandering through Vana'diel outside of *** Reisinjima, Mhaura and town.
Trademarking this ***. My creative juices are flowing!
I miss you Tanaka.. You were my barance.

A.K.A. Bot Warz II Packet Boogaloo Damn skippy too! Bring it.
Some excitement, some mpk, some stealing, some drama, some wars!
Look how this game has died since they eliminated that game model.

Come on people, who doesn't miss the spectator aspects of FFXI? Who doesn't miss their server going into shout wars after a tiamat kill/wipe/steal?

No, "Layered zone" is the way they've consistently referred to their instancing system.
They don't have an instancing system, not one that makes dynamic zones. One zone divided into multiple non-connected sections that player's are rotated through. Gives the appearance of instancing workout the server side platform requirement for dynamic zones.

Woo, Incursion!
I don't know why they brought back the Microcosmic Orb Campaign. Is anyone even going to do it after the findings from the first one?
By Staleyx 2017-04-28 04:06:29
Yea that is a waste. I wish they would split these up some, to much to do at once!

It's funny, because they title it microcosmic, but listed all the macrocosmic battlefields.

First time I'll be around for a WKR/CP campaign.
Do people generally do nothing but spam WKRs during this time kinda similar to the VW campaign? I am guessing you can crank out an Ergon weapon's worth of HPB if you stick to it.

More like 1/4 or 1/3 if your really crazy. The real benefit is that the server will be flooded with peopled selling HPB and that drives the price down until the excess supply is exhausted.
Leviathan.Celebrindal said: »its always the BC and the CP campaigns at the same time that drive me batty.
Gotta choose, CP or Gilz!
This is why I frequently CP outside of campaigns, less pressure to CP during that small window when the entire server is CPing.

atleast theres a good 20 days worth of CPing that can get done (Hopefully)

Not to mention farming HBP through Ambuscade spamming Vol.1 D-VD is more efficient for time invested.

I'm happy with the campaigns ... but...
Is that all for the 15th anniversary?
I mean, no mog pells or stuff like that ...as we had at the 11th anniversary?
Its a bit cheap IMO

Erm, is anyone anticipating there being a Spring Alter Ego Extravaganza? Have I missed some news that they intended to stop those quarterly events? I guess they bumped it due to Egg Hunt/Feast of Swords clash?

Give everyone a free AG R/E/M/A of their choosing. Do eeet SE, doo eeeet!

But i did miss the earlier update from the Couerl RP due to the "discussion".
Interesting post that, though. I only recently returned and was curious about the what sort of resubs the campaigns prompted. Based on that post I'm going with a significant number.

Probably not... but if the typo here was it was supposed to be macrocosmic instead of micro instead of them just putting the wrong fights down that could keep hope alive

Superior 3 hype!? damn, Pantafernando slipping.

Quote: Announcing the May Version Update
The next version update is scheduled for Wednesday, May 10.
Quote: Well met, adventurers!
Matsui here with your May version update information.
May is the time of year when we celebrate Vana’diel’s creation, and this year FINAL FANTASY XI turns 15! We have prepared a little something more than what you’ve come to expect of version updates in thanks for all of your support of and dedication to FINAL FANTASY XI over its storied history.
But this doesn’t mean that we’ve neglected the meat of the version update, so let me give you a quick rundown of what will be hitting the servers in a few short days.
First, we’ve added another step in the popular Escutcheon questline, and things are really starting to heat up. The orders might be getting a little difficult, but the planner in charge would like to give a huge /grin of support to those looking forward to the continuation of the quest.
Additionally, we’re adding the fourth Ark Angel alter ego—AATT—to the game. The planner in charge has shared with me that AATT’s sleepy look might give you a bit of an indication as to what he can do, so complete the quest, call him forth, and experience the wonder for yourself!
You’re also in for a “whale” of a good time with the Pteraketos battle being added to Ambuscade this month!
Finally, we’re making various job adjustments and adding new synthesizable equipment to help keep things fresh.
Below is the usual table of items we’re planning to add in the next version update. As always, last minute issues may arise preventing us from implementing all of them, but we’re hoping for smooth sailing in May!

Escutcheons
・Add text

Hi.
Dev tracker is a kind of feed in Official Forum that highlight (in the left side bar) posts from development team to players demands, questions and sugestion. Given that those answers are given by someone who effectively works with the deveopment of this game, they can be considered as official and true.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/forum.php
The japanese side of OF has its own dev tracker, that normally is way more active and detailed than english side. If someone feel like translating it to bring the info, feel welcomed too.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/search.php?searchid=15480698
BG site has one specific topic just to publish and discuss those official answers, and i think ffxiah lacks something similar as not everyone here check BG or OF, so lots of details/dev opinion are missed. So, thats the point of this topic, anyone who see new info in dev tracker feeds, quote it here, and start a discussion if you feel like.
Starting now, a couple of new dev posts were released after march update annoucement. Here they are:
Trust changes
Quote: [dev1261] Alter Ego Adjustments
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following content.
Walk of Echoes
Wanted battles
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following mission battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess missions
When Wills Collide / Maiden of the Dusk
It will be possible to summon alter egos for the following quest battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess quests
Champion of the Dawn / The Dawn Also Rises / A Forbidden Reunion
-----
Dev answer to a sugestion to add new ways to obtain dusk type of alluvion skirmish stone.
Quote: Since dusk-type stones were just implemented, we'd like players to do alluvion skirmishes to obtain them, so there are no plans to add the ability to trade other items for these stones at the moment.
However, we'll look into increasing the amount in circulation and the means of obtaining them in some way in a future version update.
Monster rearing news:
Quote: [dev1262] Mog Garden Adjustments
Monster Rearing will undergo the following adjustments.
A monster's mood will no longer degrade from "beaming with pure contentment" after collecting items or interacting with the monster.
The collective moods of all creatures will generate auras of light or darkness that affects them all.
Light
When the number of creatures beaming with pure contentment is greater than that succumbing to darkness, all creatures’ contentment and mood are increased.
Darkness
When the number of creatures succumbing to darkness is greater than that beaming with pure contentment, all monsters' contentment and mood are decreased.
The following information will be displayed when entering your Mog Garden.
The number of days left on assistants’ contracts.
The current affinity of the Mog Garden.
Mog garden gathering points will undergo the following adjustments.
It will be possible to scrap any unwanted flotsam directly without receiving it in cases where the player’s inventory is full or he is otherwise unable to recover it.
Sugestion about blu traits having aditional tier info.
Quote: This is something that is difficult for us to address at the moment as we would have to send data each time you open the menu to see which tier you currently have. We're concerned about this largely affecting UI response time.
Similarly the same holds true for saving the data client-side as well. Since all of the trait data for this would have to be saved, it would consume large amounts of memory, which also makes this feature difficult to implement.
