July Version Update...

If they nerf SAM's dmg output (which would be a mistake if you ask me, but that is neither here nor there) they should totally make it so that SAM could be a realistic tank (possible now, but the gear is o.0). Make Seigan/Third just a TAD more reliable or something of that nature.

One of the biggest reasons that SAM is wanted as a DD endgame wise is due to the fact that between its various JA, it can do tons of ws (and therefore damage) in a short period of time, and is capable of both light and dark.

ANYHOW.

BLM could use something shiny to play with, Aspir II sounds like a good idea. I'd pay merits for that ***.

More areas for Blm's to mana burn or more monster's with pets. Im sick to death of tigers and puddings aren't that much better.

I think Seigan + Third Eye should make Third Eye stay on for a Minimum of 2 attacks... cuz otherwise all i did was lower its recast by 30 sec :p...

NIN is due for an update imo

new avatars would be cool..

I don't know if this has been mentioned in the thread yet:

Looks like people are getting the Campaign body armor afterall :)

Dynamis currency in Campaign ftw.

^This.

And hopefully price will start falling on currency now.

Yay northern areas!
Time to make Shadowhand pay!
It better just be accessable, I will kill kittens if I have to do WotG missions...

Copy/Paste article? I can't get to the site.

Basically Northern areas and campaign bodies, and some Union thing.

Campaign Gets Reinforcements! (06/15/2009)The upcoming version update will see exciting developments in Campaign, including the opening of new areas, the introduction of the "Union" system, and a host of other additions and refinements.

The Battlefront Moves North!
The following areas will become potential sites for future Campaign conflicts:
Beaucedine Glacier (S) / Xarcabard (S)



New Campaign Medals!
Currently, the highest decoration players may be awarded through evaluation is the coveted "Wings of Honor." With the new version update, two yet more prestigious distinctions will be unlocked, and the corresponding equipment—including body armors for each nation—will be added to the items obtainable with Allied Notes.



All for One and One for All! Introducing the "Union" System
Building upon the existing parties and alliances, the new version update will allow players to form larger battle regiments known as "Unions." By joining a Union, players may take part in Campaign operations on an expanded scale and receive a wide assortment of battle spoils for successful efforts.

To join a Union, a player need only seek out a Campaign Arbiter while in possession of Allied Tags. Any Campaign Arbiter will heed your request, regardless of nation affiliation.

Great riches await triumphant Unions, including but not limited to the ancient currencies obtainable in Dynamis, a wide assortment of synthesis materials, and the spoils of vanquished Beastman Confederate captains. Such rewards will be distributed via Union treasure caskets after the conclusion of each battle.

Scavengers be forewarned! Those who sit back on the sidelines to let their allies do the dirty work will find themselves denied their share of the spoils. Soldiers must make sufficient contribution to the cause to be eligible to reap the rewards.

Nice, I hope the Cobra body will replace my Weskit. I doubt it though.

I just like more areas for us to attack.
But the question is...will all nations be able to attack it? All of the Shadow fiends can attack just about any area, would be interesting watching Sandy and Windy attacking the same forts.

Ooooooo, guess the union thing sounds good. Hopefully should make up for what fortifactions used to be a while ago before they gimped it.

I wish they would make forts worth smacking again. ><;

Yeah they totally need to ungimp that and have the points spawn/despawn more often to thwart the *** AFK *** that ruined it in the first place...

It's ridiculous, really. If any area is under beastmen control, it's empty. Up to the NPCs to take it back.

Guess this means I have to start doing Campaign again and get back the 2 medals I just lost plus the new ones.

I wonder how pissed off the past northlands are gonna be lol

Better stock up on the sanjaku and shinobi ^^

And yeah, I really need to do some campaign, they wanna take my Wings of Honor from me >.<

They allready robbed me of mine ; ;
Have a second removal coming to me as soon as I go to the past next time >.<

I still campaign often, so I'm good, lol.
Not to mention I switched from Sandy to Bastok like 3 times back and forth, so I had to make up all the medals again.

OMG just run, man, just run!!!

Seriously, wouldn't it be *** up if you zoned into the past and your general instantly appeared with some guards to take you into custody and strip you of your medals for being AWOL?

Well, either *** up or totally awesome...

Anyways, I'm really excited about the body pieces finally being released for the WotG gear, but shudder to think what it's gonna cost me, as I need to get mine from Windy at the "out of towner" rate...and still have 2 pieces of the Cobra Cap set to buy not even counting the body >.<

Does this update mean that Relic Weapons will be easier to obtain due to more currency?

As long as it is over 10mil, it will be out of my league.

I'm sure added sources of currency are going to affect the overall price of currency, and in the long run, the total cost of a relic. But I wouldn't expect an overnight change or anything...

LOL HATER!!!

But seriously, I am a Samurai and even I dont want to see them get anything new, I think its time for SE to focus on other jobs Instead. But really how much updating do you really want with the new FFXIV coming out in like a year.

I am sure SE will make this game completely stupid before the release so people quit and join the new FFXIV

They'd better not, unless they want a letter bomb waiting for them afterwards...

New mobs = new spells

/watches all the other blus jump on the hype train.

CHOO CHOO!

Only a few mobs in the past give us spells, I'm not expecting these will deliver.

I've found if you just put off getting evaluation they wont take away till then :) so you only lose 1 at a time
