We're max level now, can't really expect new gear to be huge upgrades.
Everything new from now on will probably be sidegrades or slight upgrades.
Because everything from 2004 to 2010 was sidegrades (except e.body :x)

It's kind of hard to compare considering how shitty most of the gear from vanilla through CoP was. TOAU was the first expansion that had a lot of (relatively) easily-accessible gear (Turban, assault) that actually had useful stats on it. Before then you had to spend millions and millions to get halfway decent stuff like SH or Haubergeon (Farming beehive chips as one of the prime options!).

Personally I have mixed feelings. While I don't really like having a power creep, I don't like flooding our inventory with more ***that you macro in for one action.

hmm, not sure I agree with this. Why would us being at max level in any way prevent them from giving us better gear? I'd reverse the conjecture and say that, since we won't go past 99, they will probably make even stronger gear so that gear upgrades are somewhat equivalent to the stats that we'd get from raising the level cap (+ whatever else they have).

This seems necessary if they want to keep scaling up the difficulty of end-game content.

So the update for today was postponed because of a bug. Turns out the new SAM ability ( Yaegasumi ) wasn't working as intended. This is rare footage from the Test Server where we can see many players testing out the new ability.



It sure doesn't look like the description at all. "Evades all special attacks that deal physical or magic damage. Enhances the potency of your next weapon skill every time you evade a special attack."
I.... I can't stop watching this.

Nor can I stop laughing.

Compared to how big a jump from 75 to AF3 and then to NNI was, Salvage gear wasn't even that amazing back at 75, aside from Usukane and Morrigan. Ares had one really good piece (Body) and the rest were macros, Morrigan required the whole set to be really good (aside from body), Skadi was actually mostly sidegrades and Marduk had a hard time making amazing pieces because it had to balance different stats for the jobs that wore it.

They accidentally increased the drop rate of pulse weapons to 2%. Panic ensued at SE headquarters.

I was under the impression that it was because you could sell used (ie worthless) limbus chips, and they had to change it so chips are consumed to prevent people from taking advantage of others.

They gave the impression they wern't planning on adding that this patch, but that would make the most sense. Some glitch that would be simply be a minor annoyance probably wouldn't cause them to postpone the patch completely.

The time zone conversion is an hour off because you're still using PDT, I think.

I would be giddy if they allowed us to merit more ws's to 5/5. Even just 2 more would be great.

Thank you! :)

I completely forgot to change it from PDT to PST. I'm glad someone brought it up I wouldn't have remembered to change it.

Can't wait to hit F5 on the .dat mining thread for the update.
There will be much rejoicing or flipping of tables when we find out what the new loot is.
