Maybe with that they are trying to screw the bastards *cough* KFC *cough* that hoarde the items such as shining cloths etc just to sell them. So that they will shy away from doing that so the people that will actually USE the items will have a chance? Maybe?

Actually imo they cant screw smn over too bad lol. I think its one of those you are a good smn or bad smn jobs. I mean the job may seem bad but lastnights display by a certain smn named Darkrikku opened my eyes to the power of smn job. Id look at the mobs hp and start casting my fire IV while, id look away and wait for a sec cause it seems to take forever at times...However i started seeing Titan shoulder hit (whatever its called) the mob and 1/2 its hp dissapeared. Im sure its diff in other situations (i was in kings tomb-place by san-) however that job holds power which must be thought through...IMO.

boring boring

hahahahaha nice pic

. . . it doesnt look all that great, a few god a few bad, it kinda evens out

one way to reduce the monopoly would be to increase the number of places these mobs pop, which would spread out the people (which would probably lower the price as well) or increase the number of mobs that drop said item... instead of 100 people camping that one stroper place, if there were a few places that stropers were, it would make it a lot easier...

also adding more NMs/HNMs that drop the same items as ones already ingame would relive some of this problem as well..

one thing that stood out to me was changing how much it costs to put something on the AH depending on its price.. I will be interested to see how this is done.. it could potentially cost a lotta gil to put expensive stuff on the AH..

the new job trait could be EXP hunter, or maybe it will be Treasure Hunter 3, or Gilfinder 2, or something that increases Steal effectiveness..

all in all very interesting update, IMHO.. im interested to see how all this turns out thats for sure...

Sure would be nice to see more Behemoth and King Behemoth spawns.

Maybe even some new HNM dragons would be nice. Something like Fafnir with the same drops.

Limiting 1 HNM with unique items means that the japanese and botters will just keep getting it every day. Much like how Ifrit is now.

Nobody mentioned the Etude boost. Omg now kayne's gonna want Mnd etude again for his Chi blast.

Defintely sounds like a mixed bag for summoners. On the other hand they may be able to MB more easily, but no more 2000+ dmg on lowbie mobs it seems.

Because we all know the point of leveling summoner to 70+ is so you can beat up on Goblin Thugs... Frankly, I don't think that "nerf" is even much of one. What summoner is going to go around farming low mobs with an avatar out? Maybe Carbuncle, but even so, it's just kinda pointless.

I'm curious how they're going to do the AH thing, though. Because my initial thoughts are kind of pointing me in the direction that it'll lower the price of stacks of items, but that's it. People are going to need to pay a ton more to AH an item, so what are they going to do? They're going to sell the item for that much more.

If someone wants to sell a Venomous Claw for 6 mil, and the tax to sell it is 100k, they're going to just sell the claw for like 6.2 mil now. And then they next time, they'll have to pay like 107k to sell it. On the other extreme, it's going to mean that people will be thrown into some nasty price cutting war, so that they don't have to eat some 100k loss as a result of their item being returned, since someone else underbid them. That will work to the advantage of the buyers, but people relying on AH prices for gil are kinda screwed.

Frankly, I'm just happy that I fish. I hate using the AH as my main source of income. It'll be interesting to see how it turns out, all the same. I would like to see prices decrease, though. I just don't have faith that will happen as a result of this update (Aside from stacks of items).

Personally I'm really looking forward to the adjustments in Ballista. If they add more depth to the game it may attract more players and give them motivation to fight hard and well. Then again, this may mean I need to hurry another job because all I'm capable of in Ballista is curing and getting my ass kicked. Still, I would love to see matches reach over 100 participants.

Also, I wish they would add an outpost warp to Ru'aun Gardens. Would makes things so much easier..

Yeah for real.

If anyone would like to know some details on the new updates just let me know in a private message. I can give a few details, but id rather not on a public board such as this.

They should so give SAM's a new job trait, all we got is Meditate. :x

yea, i was playing through Final Fantasy Tactics, and i noticed they had some really nice abilities (Blade Grasp, Two Hands, etc)... we could use a ability (charge maybe?) to let us do a lil more damage so we can compete with other DDs (ppl just dont understand how SCs rock)

...and gavin, umm...i know someone irl named gavin....lol

seriously though, the only reasons i even get party invites now is because i have wheeling thrust to open Light. I just get to be everyones skillchain opener bitch. Give us a high-damage WS and you eliminate like 90% of the problems with drg really, and maybe some bats to exp on at high lvls
