Dev Tracker - News, Discussions

1200 on VD Intense, 3600 with the item for triple. Got to 12,000 hallmarks in 6 runs tonight just messing around.

Hello!

This is something that we just might be able to do! The team will take a look at enabling chococard transferring between characters within the same account, and as long as there are no major issues, they'll work towards getting this feature implemented in the next version update at the earliest.

Thanks for your feedback concerning chococards and stay tuned for updates!

Thanks for the suggestion!

Though we can't make any promises this will be implemented, the team will definitely take this into consideration for the future.

Not what it means at all! The development team first would like to give those that may have missed out on previous months’ Ambuscade rewards by implementing these tickets, but they are also actively working on creating new equipment to be added to Ambuscade after this.

Also, as another quick note, the tickets that can be purchased through Ambuscade will require the same amount of points as usual.

Greetings, everyone!

I’d like to pass on some comments from the development team in response to the suggestions in this thread.

Key items
Currently no plans to change the way key items are obtained, and system-wise it would not be possible to make it so the monster targets change each day. Also, in regards to preparing various ways to obtain the key item, when repeating runs as a party, you’ll ultimately all be doing the same method to obtain it, and would likely choose the most efficient option. We'd like to hear additional feedback on what everyone feels would be an appropriate method to obtaining the key item.

Area appearance
Unfortunately we aren’t able to change the maps for Ambuscade. While it might be possible for us to place objects or add some variation inside of the instance, this would not be a proper solution. If you feel you are getting worn out while doing it, we recommend taking a break from Ambuscade to do something else, then come back when you are reinvigorated!

Adding a reward NPC to other areas
Since it’s not as simple as using the same exact NPC data, it would take a bit of work to do, but this might just be possible. We’ll take a look and see if we can accomplish this!

Method to swap in differently augments capes
Unfortunately from a technical perspective, renaming capes so that they can be macroed in is not possible. While it may be possible to create the same exact item with a different name, which can then be augmented, this would reduce the amount of space available for other new items. However, if you use your inventory and wardrobes, you can actually successfully swap in different types of capes.

Purchasing Abdhaljs Seals with login points
We can look into this; however, it would not be possible to transfer these between characters under the same account.

We’re happy to see all the feedback on Ambuscade and hope you continue to suggest ways to improve this content moving forward!

While this is an interesting idea, the entire concept of merit points is very different from job points, especially in the sense that they can be earned on any job you wish. Balance adjustments have been made based on the caps for each job’s merit point categories, so making it possible to max out each one would result in the necessity for re-balancing. Due to these reasons we do not have any plans at the moment to make it possible to max out all merit point categories.

The tickets will actually be available for total Hallmarks only. These tickets will only be exchangeable for all of the Ambuscade equipment introduced thus far, and not for any other type of items.

While I mentioned that we would be adding new equipment after September, we’ll be looking into methods so that these previous sets can still be obtained by those who missed prior months. However, there is a possibility that we do not limit this to Hallmarks and may do something different.

Announcing the Next Version Update (08/19/2016)



The next version update is scheduled for early September.

In addition to the monthly changes to Ambuscade, the battle-ready will find fresh ways to test their limits with the addition of a new master trial.

Those interested in more alter egos will also be pleased with the addition of a new quest to flesh out their repertoire.

Are you surprised? They already said they're gonna release Master Trials on each odd month, at least until march =/

You'd figure by now they could see nobody is doing master trials, and spend that tiny amount of effort on something else.

I mean like the whole update is more ambuscade and master trial. Nothing to look forward to. Same crap for last 5 months.

Awesome linkshell leader says: I have an announcement to make. We are no longer a aeonic and merc linkshell. We are now a master trial linkshell. We shall dedicate ourselves to the hardest crap they will throw at us and we will do it for that lock style sword so we can show off in town.

"Half the linkshell quickly runs to the door"

No mention of expanding the AoE nerf, of course.

Whatever, they probably have a very complex bureaucracy where if the devs have idea they need to meet certain internal "quality standards" and then be approved by someone else and blahblahbblah following a certain bureaucracy chain, and I'm confident things have already been planned and decided until march at least.

They will need to give players god tier gears that beats reisenjima and ambuscade gears
