Dev Tracker - Discussion
Get you a dev that looks at you the way XI devs look at Ambu Vol. 2.

I may be a bit of an SE apologist but the "Adventurer Gratitude Campaign" doesn't make me think SE is very grateful. How many times has it been identical?
We're getting a new mount once a quarter in login campaigns but we can't even get a new mount added to this?

Did the lotto ticket sales start? I read the discussion weeks ago and don't want to miss them.

Apparently this is the limit that one will put up with a gambling sea bandit. That's why people dismiss the dreaded pirate after he rolled. Kind of excited for FFXI for the first time in a bit. I had taken time off for the last few months after spending way too much time playing FFXI during the shut-in pandemic life style. I have been keeping up on the news, however. Nothing has jumped out at me at all, so I was glad that I took a break and got around to playing some other stuff.
Now, SE decides to put a free-to-play in at the end of the year, which I will take advantage of, and it will flow right into me renewing my subscription at the start of the year. I'll even get a bunch of free Red Mog Pells (although I have plenty of everything I can get with them already). Let's hope they have lots planned for 2021 after New Years (or at least after Lunar New Years). Insert perfect screencap for this situation:

Another "competition" with the same rewards. https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/threads/57582 This really is minimum effort. Well, the well is a nice efficient "prize" there's at least some upside.
It's dumb that it's a prize for a screenshot contest but if that's "how it be" then another chance for it is a good thing. Pretty low bar though indeed.

Me either.
I should have missed this fix. So, in the end, SE considered that is the common playerbase who will pay for the idiots exploiters while they keep their thousand Rostams, Croceas?

I was joking!
But I wouldn't put it passed SE to do that though. Punish everyone for a literal few bad apples. I took a break from the game a couple months.
What is this new update to odyssey? All UNM gear should be covered by now... is it the fabled Empyrean +2 (perhaps +3) gear? No... this isn't me getting my hopes up, we all learned our lesson by now. Just what else would they do for Odyssey updates though? Sylph.Pve said: » is it the fabled Empyrean +2 (perhaps +3) gear? I thought this suggestion was silly at first, but then I thought about what they said in the Famitsu interview about how they were going to "slap it in" whatever new battle content, it could very well be Empyrean +3, since they did have to postpone this month because the Odyssey Boss Area was not "ready". That could just be them stalling for more time to test gear/boss area to make sure nothing with the stats is broken (could just mean the area was bugged also). That would be a huge start to the 2021 year, and I imagine a lot of people would return. If you look at the quotes, they already did everything they planned to do with introducing the story scenario. The only thing left is Empyrean. And they mentioned how they weren't sure if it would be "as big as Dynamis/Omen". You have to wonder why they would mention those two specifically (which happen to drop JSE AF/Relic, Odyssey being the next battle content they put out since those two) and not put Empy in it. I'm not hopeful/hyping, but I think it makes reasonable sense to believe Empyrean upgrades will come in January. From May 2019 Makes no sense (to throw):
-artifact in omen -unity upgrade/Moogle Mastery in Odyssey -volte armor drops from Commander NMs, not even the actual volte monsters They just do whatever they want sometimes. endxen said: » You already have unity gear being upgraded in it, wouldn't make sense to put empy in there also to upgrade. 100% sure whatever content is added with the lame Resurgence story line will be for Empy upgrades. I would be inclined to think like this too, but we have to remember that SE puts an emphasis into longevity/replayability into new content so players have reasons to keep doing it. Otherwise new players will be left out when no one does it anymore... ala Vagary for i119 Empyreans unlocks which led to adjustments to that content last year (I think it was in 2019, maybe I'm wrong). Adding Empy upgrades into Odyssey to increase content lifespan makes sense from a game design standpoint. SE made so many content that's obsolete, I am sure SE didn't want to repeat mistakes going forward with a skeleton crew even. I don't really care if they do or don't add Empyrean upgrades into Odyssey, but I am curious what new update for Odyssey means regardless... if a new tier with new gear that's as good as Malignance gear (different stats ofc).... I am all for it. Anyway, just a guess. Storyline gear is reasonable, I've just never seen them link jse or any gear set to a story. From the quote from last year, they clearly stated they we're adding Empyrean to a new battlefield content. While the new storyline could make sense, that would require players to progress through it to even qualify for it (again, they've never done that with a story). Also, they mentioned the storyline and Empyrean gear separately, which is why I think the two are independent of each other. Odyssey is already in existence and is the battle content they forecasted from back in May (HTBFs came after that?). They could easily link segments to it, since we've had a month to prepare.
Just saying, Pve's point is salient. Would certainly force everyone to "do" the content that is pretty whack atm, and players who've kept up with it could jump right into progressing on the gear. I think more armor/weapons is redundant. The set we really want is Empyrean |
