Ah, looks like they ARE replacing them. And the new ones other than skill are bad, don't use them. Skill/Repair recast 5/5 is definitely the way to go.

1) Automaton Melee Skill is becoming "Automaton Skill", and will give additional melee, ranged, and magic skill. This makes sense to be the one to change, as pretty much everyone has melee skill anyway (since it's the one category all puppets can use).

2) Magic Skill is being changed to Repair potency +2% per merit. Which is way worse than the existing -30sec Repair RECAST merits.

3) Ranged Skill is being changed to Maintenance recast -3 seconds per merit (base 60sec). Not useless, but definitely not as good as reducing Repair recast (which also removes up to 2 status effects anyway with AF119 boots).

I'll do what I already do. I'll just change merits based on what I am doing. If I am tanking I don't care at all about skill, so I'll either dump those for repair potency or maintenance recast depending on what I am dealing with. Might dump skill anyway on lower level content that likes to spam status effects, as not having the laundry list of *** Maintenance clears is a lot more useful than the small amount of attack and accuracy skill adds. It'll just depend on the content I suppose.

Happy Friday!

Building on my previous hint...

Greetings,

The proc rate for Daken at each of its ranks is as follows:

• Rank 1: 20%

• Rank 2: 25%

• Rank 3: 30%

• Rank 4: 35%

• Rank 5: 40%

Using equipment with special bonuses for Daken will also push the proc rate higher.

Still no war/drk/drg 2 handed update, SE you *** fail, abysmal!

Currently we have no plans to increase the elemental capacity.

The attachments that were added in the August version update have had their elemental values set to match their higher effects. If you are reaching the elemental capacity maximum value when using these new attachments, we would like you to explore different combinations of attachments and also strive to unlock the Gift that increases your automaton’s elemental capacity.

Singforu is correct. When you increase your enhancing magic skill beyond 500, the following spells will have enhanced effects:

• En-spells

• Temper

• Temper II

Apologies if the previous comment was not clear. After discussing this request with the development team, we have no plans to add any of the items related to abjuration gear to the list of items that can be purchased with sparks.

We have no plans to adjust blue magic breath spells.

We have no plans to add additional weaponskills for automatons.

Adventuring fellows have always been counted as a party member since the time they were introduced, and we purposely didn't change this when we introduced alter egos through the use of Trust magic. Alter egos and adventuring fellows act the same in that they will occupy any available spots of a party, and this is the choice a player must make when using alter egos and/or adventuring fellows. As such, we currently have no plans to adjust fellows in this way.

Greetings,

I realize that this thread was made in jest, and that no ill-intentions were meant by it; however, I feel the need to explain our current mindset when it comes to replying to player suggestions.

Grekumah and the rest of the community team are constantly picking up nearly all of the suggestions you all have been posting, and we try (as best as we can) to get an answer from the development team. Even if the answer is one we feel may be disappointing, we strive to make posts with the information we receive to show that we are in fact reading over your feedback and not ignoring suggestions. While sometimes it may not be the answer you are hoping to hear, we would like to be transparent with future plans when we can as much as possible.

We appreciate the passionate suggestions and feedback that clearly demonstrate your love for the game, and we’ll continue working hard to pass everything on to the development team!

Thanks for all the suggestions, I've forwarded them to the development team. Some of you are on to our tricks, but we'd still like to share quality of life changes that we’re looking into.

Currently, we're checking to see if we can increasing the amount of silt pouches and bead pouches that can be stacked from 12 to 99.

Obvious necro-quote aside, we’re looking into adding a Survival Guide in Arrapago Reef.

Well, it is new content so we'd hate to spoil it, but we can offer a hint!
Good luck on your efforts to pop the Ark Angels!

Thanks for the feedback. The development team is planning to implement a way you can avoid spawning these NMs.

In a future version update, we’re looking into adding a key item which will prevent NMs from spawning as long as the player is in possession of the key item. We ask that you wait a bit longer while we work to implement this feature.

About the Warders spawn condition, that disrupt players trying to farm cps.

Well, you can currently prevent this. You can choose to reurn your Rare Enemies vorseals when you start farming. It drops you to 0 Rare Enemy Vorseals, so no NMs will pop. With it only costing 1000 Silt/upgrade, it isnt too costly to upgrade again, considering if you are CP farming, you are also gaining a lot of XP/CP

Actually, just found out, this doesn't work. I returned my vorseals, and still popped Warder of Temp by accident.

As a quick update to my previous post, we’re also considering placing Survival Guides in the following areas:

Caedarva Mire / Halvung / Behemoth's Dominion / Dragon's Aery / Valley of Sorrows / Ifrit's Cauldron / Zeruhn Mines
