It doesn't work competitively either.

Doesn't stop "team games" being pushed when the only team games that work are ones that have objectives, not just PvP.

3v3 PVP in shooters does not work. Nobody wants it and every game developer should know that by now. Catering to the competitive crowd will blow up on the launchpad.

All hail the Hypnosim!

Oh I don't disagree, in practical application anyway. Anyone with Sworn armor and Helheim S4/S5 and Lionheart R15 shouldn't have be told not to use Adhemar in dangerous content. I did put a disclaimer in the very beginning of my posts though:


It's up to you what you do with that information :)

You can still move chars to/from Asura/Bahamut provided you have a char on that server already, so its not zeroed out on those servers.

Helheim does have the benefit of its ideal WS set being more defensive than Lionheart's non-Sworn WS set. I believe a mix of Adhemar/Herculean/Samnuha is RUN's best non-Sworn Reso gear, which of course you very likely wouldn't be using at the risk of death and instead opt to Reso in Nyame at the cost of damage loss for a few years until you rank up Sworn. I think it's more realistic to compare Nyame Fimbulvetr vs Nyame Reso.

finally I can dust off the ol'

Based on their wording we have some idea of what they are going to do. I imagine that the Trust gear system is going to be all new gear (or at least only include very specific already existing gears only, not everything). At least, not in the way you might think - more on this in a minute.

They specifically called out PUP parts as a similar system, so expect things like a chestpiece that gives the trust +% Haste or shoes that allow the use of a specific WS.

They could even bake existing gear into this. Equipping your trust with a Caladbolg isn't going to give it all of the stats - instead, it will give them Torcleaver and some +Attack or something. This has the downside of further bloating item descriptions though, which is why I assume they are going to go with all new gear or carefully selected existing things.

Perhaps a new tab to shuffle through on gear when pressing the (-) key? It gets messy fast...

They're not getting any money from that closing servers either.

I mean there's other reasons someone may want to be on a high/low pop server so it won't kill transfers completely, but it would nullify a lot of economic reasons although some people will probably flee the higher pop servers with a more viable AH.

Whatever youre lowmanning, youd probably fare better with an actual DD over GEO. If youre against that for whatever reason, you would get much better mileage with BRD over GEO.

Meanwhile, the equipment(hopefully not)

Either is fine imo. BLU is more offensive and paired with geo can debilitate alot of mobs as you gear up or just do the classic fury/frail and go ham especially for content bubbles arent nerfed.

Rdm has better crowd control/debuffs but lacks a bit on offense, can also MB better since its not tied to a 2min timer for when thats useful.

Ok, if he or I were to run RDM, what would be the ideal duo partner for it? Would sch closing sc and magic bursting be more valuable or more buffs via geo or cor?

I think the equipment will be the more interesting of the 2 systems by far. This is reminiscent of the Adventurer companion.

I would love it if you actually traded normal player equipment to trusts, but I don't think they will go that way. It sounds like it will be "new" equipment as they say, like attachments for puppetmaster. So all trusts will become automatons? kinda sad for pup maybe

However the following quote is what will impact us sooner and there needs more immediate attention:


I hope this means we'll actually be able to see the stats on the different trusts!

Furthermore... what does it mean to max out a stat? It sounds like we are upgrading only these: HP, MP, STR, DEX, VIT, AGI, MND, INT, CHR
When it says stats can be maxed out? does it mean there is a clearly stated cap? or I can get their AGI up to 999?

and we can't reallocate so I want to plan my allocations. This actually sounds fun IF I can see their current stats.

Maybe I want to make Lilisette's CHR just insane for bigger waltz cures.

Maybe I want the most ridiculously evasive Amchuchu, or the BIGGEST HP pool on Valaineral.

Will this include Unity trusts? what happens if I switch Unity?

I find this change REALLY interesting.


Back to the trust gear questions:
Can I have August, permanently wearing the Founders set so his Killer Effect is high?

Can I give Gessho the Yagyu Darkblade?

How about a Daybreak for a whm or rdm? Will they start doing dispelga?

There are some niche pieces of equipment that might be super useful for specific trusts. The ones w/ peculiar mechanics especially are of interest.
IF they let us give player equipment to trusts.

Daybreak for Ingrid II might make her a much more powerful nuker of undead.

So i grabbed the new version and my hacked lua Helix duration with 30 in it from a few weeks ago was still there, never touched it and the duration looks to be correct (maybe +/- 3-5 seconds).

Thanks!

Odin is going to lock down like Asura and Bahamut. I am going to transfer to Odin!

No disagreement there. Would love to see some controlled tests.

Yeah. Wish it had some accuracy in its augments.

Congestion is a problem, for instance for things like Ambuscade during vanabout or something. They have to try spread people around.

However I think it's also about RMT

If you have a large population server the RMT go onto it, then farm gil in any and all ways possible. They get banned, but they don't care since they just buy a new copy of the game and start again and again. Getting banned is just a cost they take into account, and it's all automated anyway. They even buy pre-leveled accounts (and other rmt were leveling them to sell).

The easy fix it to take the most profitable servers for RMT and simply close them. The RMT that remain are the ones that make gil in methods that attract less attention, cause getting banned is now a big deal. They can't easily replace those accounts.

Closing the biggest servers did serious damage to the rmt industry on XI, and since they cause all kinds of annoying problems it's a net positive. They destroy the economy, abuse any weakness with hacking, cause problems for players, force them to put more manpower into banning etc. They buy new copies but it's probably far more annoying than it's worth.

They also cannot open these servers in future, cause if they do the problem will simply start again and endless botted level 1 characters will begin again.

The reason this won't happen on other servers anytime soon is there simply are not enough customers on those to make the entire thing even worth bothering with, you can bot 100 billion gil but if you can't sell it what's the point?

That sounds like what most of us said when Asura and Bahamut locked and the JP heavy server Odin was up next.

I'm on Phoenix, have been from the start, and not terribly panicked.

We've already started getting the occasional shout from folks wanting to buy merc services and they give up after a couple days because we don't really do that here.

We've got one network of RMT shouting to sell exp[1]. We've got dyna and salv botters to sell currency[2]. We've got an active crafting shell that buys and sells to keep things stocked (these folks rock, actually). We've got a strong jp community. I think we'll weather the storm fairly well at this stage of the game.

All that being said, Phoenix is a hellhole, you don't want to come here.

If you can get free RP it doesn't matter because you'll be done quick, but if you're limited, spread it across the pieces. You'll get a better increase for your character sooner if you RP multiple pieces past a certain rank vs just one. You can also hold off on RPing the body, head and legs if you like, as you can get the JSE empyrean head, af body and relic legs which all offer Weaponskill Damage. It's a relatively easy upgrade that will boost your damage a lot for lesser effort than spamming Bumbas. The Empyrean +3 head goes a long way on BLU, too, so there's no rush to rank Nyame head path B if you don't want to.


You can do it right now. The fights are all easy, and you can just wear Nyame 5/5, sleep adds, and kill one by one. Its incredibly easy now, go in and spank em.


BLU is a phenomenal solo job if you are geared and proficient with the job. I would say BLU+BRD can cover pretty much everything you need to accomplish. BRD can buff with songs, BLU can cap haste on his own, heal, DD, crowd control support if needed. BRD supports with crowd control. GEO would work too, kind of the same difference, unless the BRD is lacking song+ gear, GEO might get better attack buffs and can focus on healing more. I think both are a good combination. Even BLU+COR is great with rolls, you have options.

Unless you're specifically trying to boost enspell dmg, not really no.

Going to try and sit down this weekend and see if i can figure it out myself, but will ask just in case someone already knows.

I assume R0 items are not worth wearing at the moment, if right then when would items rank make it worth it? I assume this is a very nuanced and complicated question. I love new shinny but dont want to invest/wear them and suffer massively. Thanks again for all the insight /bow.

As the kids say these days, we're just a bunch of "old people born in the 1900s."

Since Malignance gloves have much more STP than other pieces, I'd probably do: Body > Feet > Head > Legs > Hands, assuming that the augments work the way we think they do.

Genuinely, what’s the end goal of closing down a 3rd server and when does it end? This feels like a lazy fix to a problem SE don’t want to address. Ultimately it’ll just end up hurting the game if SE closes every server they deem too big. You can only funnel people into smaller servers so much - especially without any incentive to leave a higher pop server.

We are all old enough that a thread asking how old we are turns into a "how to stop aches and pains" thread on page 1.

Great advice Otomis. I've been doing exactly the same things. The biggest one that has improved my life is getting off social media. These forums are the only place that I post/read anything. I don't doom-scroll any social media, I have an extension on my browser that hides comments on YouTube. I've eliminated all sources of outside influence on my thoughts and I have never felt so clear headed and present in my daily life.

After healing your mind by removing social media, diet and exercise are the next important ones. Find a way to get exercise that isn't traditional exercise, you want to find something you enjoy doing. I personally really like using Virtual Reality, something like Beat Saber or FitXR. I've got heartrate data from 30mins on an elliptical vs 30mins of Beat Saber. They're so similar it's shocking and 30mins absolutely flies by in VR.

I dunno about the order. I think personally I would go body > hands/feet > legs > head.

Would love to read more opinions on this!

Thanks for the replies. I really havent payed much attention to limbus in a while so am behind of the latest and greatest gear. I am starting to do Limbus more and was doing quick and dirty to figure out how valuable Sworn would be for me.. Some of the other sets look neat for other jobs but Hoxne is just OP and love it. Maybe sworn is better for BLU DRK though i use Hoxne for them also.

If i started on the sworn is there an order i should go in? Looks like currently R30 just one piece will take a long time.
