Joking right?

No joke, it will be immune to gravity next time.
The enemy was completely unable to fight back in any possible way, it was a complete *** up on their part.
Rejoice though, BEFORE it was beaten with gravity the answer was SMN. And you're all bandwagoned up in advance so no worries!

While they occasionally repeat some like the gigas and fomors due to holding a vote on niconico, they did state that if they brought the frog back they would make it immune to gravity. Would be 100% fine with that. QH was survivable and iirc avoidable too if you tried. Also messing up and getting hit for 60k or something was amazingly hilarious

It had no ready message so it was completely unavoidable. But still exploitable by pets since they have no buffs.
Survivable with zero buffs yeah, even just haste could put you in the one shot zone.
(lol a job for mnks! no buffs they might do decent)
By clearlyamule 2017-08-26 16:04:33
No I mean from what I remember certain job combos locked it. Old strat page says something about melee main jobs only.
Also even zero buffs could one shot. Think I mananged to take a 10k no buff once. But the page says something about number of "mages" so that might be part of it. Or maybe it was counting the buffs of the people out of range not getting hit.
Also definitely had a ready message but also had a decent range... well the aoe was the targeting was smaller

You know that Rudras inflicts gravity making the kiting possible... right? (maybe?)
Had "more than" a few epic fails the second gravity wore off or failed to land. It's one thing with intelligent people, it's a whole different game with a shout kite.
I heard about it being done that way, shout thfs aren't going to happen, it'll be 100% smn onry.
By clearlyamule 2017-08-27 01:24:32
Psh pup onry!
Edit: not seen in screenshot is the buffless cor who ran in close enough to get dmg logs and got hit for 20k lol

From their announcement I would dare to say that the "new event" they've been working on has been furtherly delayed yet again and won't make it for september.
If things were otherwise surely they would've mentioned it?

No doubt it's likely a delay for that, probably why they're holding another Omen campaign to keep everyone busy stocking up on job cards before releasing new content in either October or November... but hard to imagine from SE's eyes to reforged relic armor up to +2/3 using omen's job cards

Can't wait to see the absolutely ri-god-damn-diculous amount of things needed for the next tier of shields.
New Craftable gear.... Can't possibly be an Su4 so soon so what then...
Relic+3 HAS to use job cards, and it CANT use job cards at the same time. Interesting problem. Omen is a shitty event so either re-use cards or give up on omen as cared about content.

You do realize that Rudra's Storm Gravity is 1 minute?~
DNC,THF combo or SMNs or both will be needed most definitely if they bring it back.

SE is way too lazy/not caring lately to provide a full-fetched system for relic +2/3 (beside the whole 'no major content' as of last year). I think that just like reforged 109/119 gear shares chapters, +2/3 will share cards and they will simply add a new battlefield with drops for the relic upgrade. Given how long it takes to get cards outside campaign, this will be enough to have players grinding for a while

They could just add in an extra item that has to be used with the omen cards that you can only get from the relic omen runs.

Could be an existing one, or new but I'd wager existing and perhaps KI access.

Given how long it takes to get cards outside campaign, this will be enough to have players grinding for a while I dunno, I don't think the comparison with the old 119 reforge stands either, they had 2 very different approaches.
For reforged AFs the real cockblock was Cards and nothing else. The rest was expensive but it was "just" gil.
If they decide to keep using Omen cards for Relic Reforge then expect 2-3x the amount needed for Relic reforge.
I would probably love Relic reforge to keep using omen cards but realistically I think they gonna release a completely different system alas =/

tbh, if that is what it takes to get some 1 back to Leviathan, Come one come all Slap away!
Could be worse... a Series number of Items with bayld/plasm and cruor
Just think You need to turn in 1000 HP Bayld, 5 Plasm crystals and idk 25m cruor per piece "It could always be worse"

I realllllllllllly expected petrifacts to be used in the 119 forging, and interestingly they weren't. I'll be kind of amazed if they aren't used for the +3ing though they cost zero gil, so not -that- amazed.

Speaking of this, SE always gives up a Campaign before a Big F.U> update. So Vagary = need mats for some reason, Omen maybe needs VW items so watch for a quarterly VW campaign Vagary, or even "Incursion" since they updated it to HQ coffers only could also be Those! Hell could just be HQ crafted mats from each Guild, new item Quested or existing will be a mad rush to get it done once found.

Hi.
Dev tracker is a kind of feed in Official Forum that highlight (in the left side bar) posts from development team to players demands, questions and sugestion. Given that those answers are given by someone who effectively works with the deveopment of this game, they can be considered as official and true.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/forum.php
The japanese side of OF has its own dev tracker, that normally is way more active and detailed than english side. If someone feel like translating it to bring the info, feel welcomed too.
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/search.php?searchid=15480698
BG site has one specific topic just to publish and discuss those official answers, and i think ffxiah lacks something similar as not everyone here check BG or OF, so lots of details/dev opinion are missed. So, thats the point of this topic, anyone who see new info in dev tracker feeds, quote it here, and start a discussion if you feel like.
Starting now, a couple of new dev posts were released after march update annoucement. Here they are:
Trust changes
Quote: [dev1261] Alter Ego Adjustments
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following content.
Walk of Echoes
Wanted battles
It will be possible to summon alter egos in the following mission battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess missions
When Wills Collide / Maiden of the Dusk
It will be possible to summon alter egos for the following quest battlefields.
Wings of the Goddess quests
Champion of the Dawn / The Dawn Also Rises / A Forbidden Reunion
-----
Dev answer to a sugestion to add new ways to obtain dusk type of alluvion skirmish stone.
Quote: Since dusk-type stones were just implemented, we'd like players to do alluvion skirmishes to obtain them, so there are no plans to add the ability to trade other items for these stones at the moment.
However, we'll look into increasing the amount in circulation and the means of obtaining them in some way in a future version update.
Monster rearing news:
Quote: [dev1262] Mog Garden Adjustments
Monster Rearing will undergo the following adjustments.
A monster's mood will no longer degrade from "beaming with pure contentment" after collecting items or interacting with the monster.
The collective moods of all creatures will generate auras of light or darkness that affects them all.
Light
When the number of creatures beaming with pure contentment is greater than that succumbing to darkness, all creatures’ contentment and mood are increased.
Darkness
When the number of creatures succumbing to darkness is greater than that beaming with pure contentment, all monsters' contentment and mood are decreased.
The following information will be displayed when entering your Mog Garden.
The number of days left on assistants’ contracts.
The current affinity of the Mog Garden.
Mog garden gathering points will undergo the following adjustments.
It will be possible to scrap any unwanted flotsam directly without receiving it in cases where the player’s inventory is full or he is otherwise unable to recover it.
Sugestion about blu traits having aditional tier info.
Quote: This is something that is difficult for us to address at the moment as we would have to send data each time you open the menu to see which tier you currently have. We're concerned about this largely affecting UI response time.
Similarly the same holds true for saving the data client-side as well. Since all of the trait data for this would have to be saved, it would consume large amounts of memory, which also makes this feature difficult to implement.
