Stare mechanics??

You mean the original way to get into Den of Rancor with the paintbrush of souls??

You're the one trying to tell me the mechanics exist elsewhere, you tell me where they exist. Staring at a device for 30 seconds while standing still? Boss does a massive nuke after 3 minutes, reduced by n damage for every light-based attack used on it. DT stacks that increase if they're not proc'd. Double hands with massive DT? Dropping fetters based on remaining HP?

Just because we ignore a lot of the mechanics doesn't mean nobody programmed them.

Also all the bosses have metal mechanics which are new...it's extremely ignorant to say nothing has been added to the game.

The entire limbus system. Graces are like atma I guess...except they're not chosen by the player, have scaling values, and are assigned based on your KI ownership and not based on settings you do at an NPC.

Again...it's like saying "Simpsons did it" but for programming. You can say XYZ is similar to ABC, but that completely dismisses the actual design and coding that went into making these things.

Ruspix plate, even though everyone hates it, is also a new system similar, but functionally different to other previous systems.

I could go on forever.

Only two lines?

Are you a doppelganger? Where is the real Vyre-kun?

Bring him back nao!

Well to expand upon the vagary sortie relationship

The objectives system already existed
Filling that in with new data is not nearly as complicated task as creating new content with new mechanics rules and assets

Making it drop something in your inventory as personal pool that might be a fresh one.

Adding something like an aura to a boss is also not like a brand new invention.

Are you sure some of those boss mechanics don't exist in vagary already? Or in some other content?

I mean...most code is reused in one way or another so then do you just call all programming derivative because they're using an existing code base or libraries?

It's clear that all the sortie objectives are new code. The bosses have mechanics that don't exist in vagary, the aggro in the basement works differently from other places. The locked doors, teleport system, and various other things are new (or new implementations) functions. The earring/case system is new.

What exactly are we qualifying as a new feature, exactly? They added new items, new gearing systems and currencies, new timer systems...

It's incredibly short-sighted to say nothing new has been coded in ffxi. Unless you mean like...in the last 2 months?

It was 100% part of the Adoulin .dat files already. The devs confirmed it when it was released.

@Beaztmaster

The Lua you have provided doesn't go anywhere... It takes me to a pastebin and says it's no longer there. I'd like to use this Lua for my BST.

I feel like silver knife was in the dev files somewhere and probably just not released
Probably created with adoulin or was in some cutscene once showing you the inside of a "house"

Everything we saw added with tvr may have already existed or was recolored
Sortie is just retooled vagary stitched together

It just would make sense if they can only work with what's already there
And not just assets
But I could also see them only being able to reuse existing pieces of code

Might also mean they start with the accessories first from the floor NMs, but a megaboss (Omega/Ultima) could be in the works for updated sets, though idk if they do the Homam/Nashira again seeing as how those sets got repurposed with Ambuscade. Will have to wait and see.

I seriously think they lack the tools to make anything new

I forgot to write this list is my opinion and this is a list of +2 boost over +1, not list of how good are those necks.

The geo neck is just a terrific piece, totally essential for any serious GEO on meaningful content. The chance to absorb damage taken is a unique effect and adds immense survivability to your bubbles, meaning more blaze uptime, and less time spent recasting bubbles.

The ONLY neck I wouldn't STRONGLY urge anyone to get at +2 would be PLD.

Well to be fair they were asking for updated sets and page 1 does not have that except like one or two.

I had the thought that since they made all of the drops from Limbus purchasable from Curio, they might repurpose those same assets into modern versions (Brutal Earring, loquacious, patentia sash etc), kind of like how they did the same thing with UNM equipment from the original NMS that dropped items.

BLM neck is rather weak. At a base level, it has a healthy MACC, but the MAB is inferior to a couple pieces. As far as the augs:
1-Why MND? SAM and DRK were just given a flat STR+25, RNG a flat AGI+25, why give BLM INT/MND+15 instead of INT+25?
2-Considering the low cap of MBB, and the ease that BLM can reach this cap in equipment, even when the JSE necks came out, its luster there vanished rather quickly. (Change it to MBBII and the problem goes away)
3-Bursts already have an innate macc bonus, which would usually be overkill.

1 more Arrapago Remnants to go, then I can bankrupt myself buying Beitetsu.

Yeeeehawwwwww

Considering the wyvern is; 20% atk/def. 10% job haste, 15% DA, and 10% WSD(trait) that thing could have nothing but the wyvern DT on it and it'd be invaluable anywhere the wyvern might be taking damage(which is alot)

And now the forum image makes perfect sense.

No.

Also tell me how you feel about RUN neck

I've been adding it to my job change scripts, I was moreso curious about the rationale behind it, if it was intended to be that way or just overlooked.

Youll find out in two weeks.

I wouldn't be shocked if they're "in limbus" effects though

I personally think all of them are pretty great except Sam and Drg. Sam has that Zanshin neck piece so the +2 would be a very expensive WS piece. There is nothing wrong with Drg except maybe SE hated Drg and buffed everyone else except Drg? A WS piece that gives tank stats for wyvern? Sure you could use it for some situations but wouldn't it be much better for some sort of store TP on it?

No ambition, fail!

Between virus, fungi and bacteria, bacteria is like the weakest and least likely to turn human into zombies.

I thought being a virus and turn every human into zombies is way better.

I think anybody requesting best sets these days really need to understand that their results are gonna vary by how far they are in oddessy.

I think a better question for these purposes is what responds to wsd and what doesn't.
