Why wouldn't we want more DA/TA abilities? I'm well aware that it's not going to happen, but I'd still love it.

Having said that, yaaaay Mighty Guard. I wonder if we'll get any more UL spells from the Supreme Being family.

Also, I already assumed they were merging them together into one category, but what are they adding to replace them? Or are they simply going to make PUP the only job in the game with 3 options for group 1 merits?

I was also wondering if they'd add something to replace, but it does look like it's just going change to be 3 categories only. A little weird, but as there are also several jobs with more than the average I guess there's no reason we can't have one with less than usual. Especially thinking about it from a 2015 perspective, where we have Job Points that make unique merits a bit less important anyway. And anyway, even if there's just 3, I can pretend there is some 4th category that would have been garbage anyway and nobody in their right mind would merit (reduce activation burden?).

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.

Eh, I guess that's fair enough. But it's pretty clear now that Repair recast is the best PUP group 1 merit if you do any automaton tanking whatsoever. I'd imagine most people would prefer not to constantly reconfigure merits and just leave skill, which is helpful for any puppet (even tanking, extra acc/atk is something).

Maintenance is all right, but 60 sec to 45 sec is honestly not that big of a deal to me. I do fine tanking just using Repair when it's up (also removing status effects thanks to AF boots), and Maintenance in between Repairs as needed.

Activate Recast and Repair Potency are trash, neither is justifiable over the choices of Repair recast, Skill, and Maintenance.

Still wish with the low Repair and Maintenance timers and heavy use these days that oils stacked higher than 12, it's an absolutely unnecessary restriction. No reason at all this shouldn't be 99.

About Vorseal Table:

Quote:
You want hints, eh? Since it’s Friday and all, I suppose a tiny hint wouldn’t hurt.

I’ll start with a vorseal that was added in the May version update, which is comparatively a bit easier to grasp the prereqs.

More hints? Okay, I’ll give you another.

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!

Yeah, for DRKs they keep buffing spells whilst ignoring the actual problem. Not getting my money until they fix it anyway, if you have to play solo, there's kind of no point playing an MMO. At least we've got some great games coming out soon! DS3/Fallout3 ftw!

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:

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.

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.

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

Quote:
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.

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.

Judging by the vorseal bonuses, it would seem the default pop rate is 1/100, since the denominator drops by 6 for every Rare Enemy+ you get (1/94, 1/88, etc).

I knew they wouldn't do Double Xp/CP because they've already done it twice, I figured the pattern out . May and June with double cp, then none for july. August and Sept with double CP and none for Oct.

despite no double xp/cp this month, I'm just glad I finally got Koru and amchuchu :p. But hey Alter Ego Expo this saturday for more Trust HP/MP.

Double Plasm sounds sweet!

Pretty much and shockingly, they have changed their tune from

Pre-nerf: "Distance doesn't need to be nerfed"
Post-nerf: "Distance needed to be nerfed but you did it too much"

It's very much Rudra's Storm v2, hell I'm sure I was guilty for over-defending Rudra's at the time but trying to bargain your way out of a nerf just weakens your argument.
