Dev Tracker - Discussion

Chemist is a mage by default, so I can't see it getting any light armor beyond what a GEO/BRD could get (though Ayanmo +2 would be cool area to start). Healer/debuffer would be an interesting mix.

Guns/Knives fits the lore, and you could just skip the crossbow aspect and give them status effect bullets specifically for them. Or abilities/items that alter their marksmanship prowess (Balk, Mustadio from FFT). Would be cool to have a backline healer job that can not only support the party defensively, but provide debuff support from afar (the range of a gun).

Wishful thinking.

Guns were super fun in FFT. Sucks there were so few availables and the strongest guns were just available in the last dungeon (though super cool elemental guns).

Good times.

I like the idea of Crossbows on Chemist rather than guns. Because let's face it, Guns are exclusive to COR, and RNG can use all 3 (Bows, Guns, Crossbows) but the vast majority of RNGs use guns.

Crossbows (save the very few Gastraphetes RNGs) are hardly used anymore, so why not give them to Chemist? It would also bring the status effect bolts back to relevancy too.

that why my RNG don't get much use, I use bow but I am after Riona Minami's heart but my cupid arrow misses!

I don't know what the squiggles are on the body armor, but the +1 STR on the belt is game changing!

What're they talking about? Can anybody translate or give an overview?

The body becomes MP/Something +5/BP DMG +10

The belt becomes Str +15, and DA +5

Yeah it seems to be like a Dynamis RP Style, most of it looked like it was soloable as it was 1 character using trusts. I don't speak Moon Speak so not sure what they were actually talking about but it seems like some of these items are going to become pretty strong

There was an Odyssey type currency, which didn't seem to really expand on but may be like Heroism Crystals/Aggregates. There seems to be a currency counter similar to mask in the top left called Izzat, which may be the RP counter for an item.

Entry seems to be in Rabao, KI is maybe this item in blue?




In short get your grind boots on.

Things I couldn't tell/see from video yet, how to enter and if there was a lockout. I'll update this post more as I watch the video throughout my lunch break.

Looks like the Unity Ranking stuff still there?

Unity stuff still there. Didn't really get an idea of how it worked since Matsui is horrible at the game lol. Looked like a mix of Omen/Limbus.

1-6 can enter though. So party content, not alliance

If they make the upgrades worthwhile and really did implemenet it as an R 1-15 system akin to dynamis this should be quite a popular event. Grinding rank points isn't a big of a deal, especially if the event is fun, and a 6 man event is easier to organize. I'm looking forward to this new content

Lazy people: Ugh. All I want to know is if I can throw money at someone to do the content for me.

Opportunistic people: Ugh. All I want to know is if I can quad-box this and charge tens-of-millions for five minutes worth of effort.

This is probably going to be a grindfest event, but I'm actually not bothered by that if it's actually worthwhile upgrades for certain gear and NOT locked out of this due to timers. I would like to be able to do this as I please instead of "oh I have 3 canteens I need to burn one before I lose a day" kind of thing. Please let it be repeatable off the bat.

xDD

All I care about is that if this event has the same entry format as High Tier BCNM's.. that they add multiple entry points so we aren't waiting an hour on Asura to enter.

Nah, theyre gunna hard cap the participants so the queue in asura will be hours long, forcing people to pay for server transfers off of asura to do the content then transfer back, like everyone on other servers has to do for AH runs.

Its their next money milking scheme.

Quad boxing (especially when you do a lot of things manually and not with commands) makes me tired more than working.. It's definitely not for lazy people imo :P

"why don't they just do a cross server AH!?"

(SE staring at their piggy bank)
.....technical limitation!

If this isn’t alliance content then what’s the point ?

Learn2program slob

My issue is the bottleneck this is going to create if you can just do it with trusts. Because people are gonna just solo VE (if there is one) instead of picking up 5-17 other able people to join.

That belt has some good augments...looks like there will be plenty of farming/content to grind.

9haste,2ta,15str,5da

Dang it. Missed the stream. From the look of:
That's good that it confirms only a R15. (I may have been the only person worried at the potential of R25+ augments.)
What's more interesting is the belt.

Anyone who saw the stream know if they mentioned that accessory augments are all only 2 slots and not the usual 3 or if that was just unique to Sailfi Belt +1?

Do we know if this is coming on this update, or is this more of a future pipeline thing?

Just in case anyone was still curious about the squiggles, the Rosette Jaseran +1's R15 augments are magic accuracy +45, damage taken -5%, and all blood pacts +10. As already stated Sailfi+1s augments are STR15 Double Attack +5%.
