[Dev] BST: TH+ Equipment Will Not Come

Am I having a stroke or is anyone else not able to make sense of the above post?

Just ask yourself this simple question. Why would they take away the level of pet TH only to give it back to you in a different form? In a way adding gear to give TH to pet would only make BST that much better. Since it is gear and not trait specific to a pet a bst could use any jug pet they wanted and have TH available. This would then only cause the masses to riot. Picket signs and circle jerks would then ensue in Port Jeuno. Logic says something taken away in the name of Balance will not be given back especially in the form of something with greater potential.

Digging up the post this whole thing started from.

Camate Community Rep		Treasure Hunter Effect Amongst Jobs As an adjustment to the balance of Treasure Hunter at level 99, the below pets will have their Treasure Hunter effect changed to Treasure Hunter I. -Dipper Yuly -Faithful Falcorr ※These pets will have a base of Treasure Hunter I, but by using equipment that has “Pet: Treasure Hunter +” the effect will become stronger. Here is the premise regarding the hierarchy of the Treasure Hunter effect (from strongest to weakest). Thief Ranger Support job thief Other jobs ※As ranger received the new “Bounty Shot” as a support ability, it is now slightly more beneficial than a support job Treasure Hunter when effectively used. However, with the increase in the level cap from 75 to 99, this ordering has started to become ambiguous, so in order to clearly define the premise again, our current aim was to find adjustments appropriate to follow this. The prime example of changes to this hierarchy were with the increase in the Treasure Hunter effect for familiar pets due to the level cap increase and we would like to start by adjusting this area. The development team looked into routes to adjust this, such as changing the pet’s job, lowering the stats of the pets in exchange for not lowering the Treasure Hunter effect, revamping the pet’s special abilities, etc., but ultimately they made the decision to preserve their fighting capabilities and only reduce their Treasure Hunter effect. To go along with this adjustment, we will be easing up on the materials required to synthesize “Lucky Broth” which created with the basis of the Treasure Hunter effect in mind. ※The current focus of this adjustment is for familiar pets, but in the future if automatons and avatars are given Treasure Hunter, we will be adopting the same policy. To give a bit more insight, the development team looked into a completely different direction on this at first, exploring if they could establish proper balance to follow this idea by changing the drop rate table. However, if they were to change the drop rates, the obtainment rate for every single item would change and the effects would be too drastic, so they came to the conclusion that they would not be adjusting the drop rates.

Should totally reply back to his post with a copy of this to strait out call them out on it. SE has really made a habit of saying one thing then doing another or not doing it all all and then pretending they never said it. There was a post form them years ago when prankton(sp) came out that bst would be able use the plates to call specialty pets in the field. But then that never happened and all mention of it eventually vanished. This just naming one example of them doing that.

That's a prejudiced comment. "I personally find that most <group of people> are <negative stereotype>." It's no different than when someone says most JP players are stuck-up and xenophobic or most NA are selfish and obnoxious. None of these things are even remotely true or provable. Anecdotes don't count.


This is not unique to BST or Dynamis. Until SE implements instancing there's always going to be someone out there that wants to fight the same thing you want to at the same time and gets in your way. I've had parties get in the way of parties and alliances get in the way of alliances before. People used to hi-jack Dynamis zones or spam their way into battlefields. I've been on BST and had people on other jobs step on my toes. Should I develop a prejudice against anyone who plays that job and be happy when their job takes a hit? Of course not. I would feel incredibly stupid for doing so.


Add one more to your list then. I'm too nice for my own good more often than not whether I'm on BST or another job, solo or in a group. Heck, I don't even DO Dynamis on any sort of regular basis on my BST which is perfectly capable of doing so. Why? Too much damn conflict even though I only play nice.


Look, if someone is camping mobs, they think they own all the mobs of that type in the area. I've never seen anyone act any differently no matter what job they were on or whether they were solo or grouped. People tend to have the same mentality as they do with XP camps. Everything that lies before them is theirs. Take one mob and bad feelings pop up. Now not everyone acts on those feelings, but they do emerge.


Your problem isn't with BSTs, it's with specific individuals with selfish mindsets.

Welcome to three weeks ago.

Bst's don't need TH gear, Go level thief like I did if u want more TH. Quit crying about what SE might have hinted at.

Who cares, it's a "game" . I for one enjoy the game a lot and don't really care about a non issue like this. If u don't like it, nobody is forcing you to play.

And? The game didn't lie, the people making it did.

They just don't seem to get that this has been a common practice of theirs saying gonna do something then turning around and denying it was ever said.

Oh? Got an issue, here's a tissue.

I also seriously doubt any of the posters claiming people steal their mobs actually have their mobs stolen.

I've had many links taken off of me when soloing in dynamis. It does happen. This is why I personally hate bsts. They take mobs, and when they hold 5 they get pissed if you take one back, even though they did it first. I've been followed by bsts before because they took one of my links and I said something to them. So yeah...

On topic, did anybody maybe think Camate's original post, might have been mistranslated? Or perhaps he was speaking to a lower dev team member on the chain and they perhaps leaked info they shouldn't have?

Solves the perle bst issue too an extent.
