I suppose the issue could have come from any number of things they did. Who knows. Maybe the server just ran out of packets and they had to open it up to throw some more in?

 From the FINAL FANTASY XI Development Team Announcing the Next Version Update (02/28/2020) The next version update is scheduled for early March. March brings along with it all-new battle content known as Odyssey, Monberaux's alter ego, and the usual updates to Ambuscade. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Personal reflections below are now spoiler-tagged creating a safe-space as any negativity (quite tame by the standards of this forum, in my opinion) offends some sensibilities.

Odyssey smells like Walk of Echoes.
This makes my galka-sense sting, all the content related to WoE have been a (semi)failure to my eyes, so far. Hope this will prove me wrong. I guess Odyssey should be the new content for the reforged/augmented Wanted items? I dunno, I'm confused. I would've made Odyssey a content for Reforged Empyrean and let Wanted itself be the catalyst for Wanted items augments. Like, dunno, requiring more of the same mats you use to go from NQ to HQ, that would've revitalized a bit the Wanted NMs content and their drops, no? Wouldn't that have been a better choice?

I can't wait for a new random augment system to be added to wring another time-sink out of reused dat files. Yay for more invincible fetters with Doom aura. Yay for more battlefields in legion area / Walk of Echoes area. /sarcasm Oh the plus side, maybe that green dragon/bird/pokemon-looking thing will not be an ambuscade monster and will be around for longer than a month. Obviously, nb4 SMN bloodpacts do basically nothing to it because that's how SE had decided to deal with OP SMN burns. Let's hope there is some malignance-like stats on some new equipment that makes everything we've been getting out of any recent content obsolete. Gotta climb that never-ending gear upgrade ladder! Oh, and I may have called it in an earlier post, but I'm guessing Monberaux's AI is a copy-paste of Yoran-Oran (UC)'s which is why Yoran glitched from people's auto-sorted lists after the February update. They copy-pasted it and forgot when they toggled the flag for Monberaux to be deactivated in-game until the March update, it also toggled something off about Yoran. Just my speculation. Could you cry any harder? Jeeze

Draylo said: » Could you cry any harder? Jeeze Those aren't even my salty delicious tears. Some passive-aggressive jabs at MMOs in general (the never ending gear upgrade comment), pointing out the obvious (SMNs havn't been landing fully powerful blood pacts on the last few avatar battlefield things they have added), and doing the opposite of praising random augments. I dunno. Thin-skinned much and looking for a reason to think I need to be asked if I could cry any harder? Wait. Now I /am/ crying. I fell for the bait. YouTube Video Placeholder While I don't feel this way (can't really draw many conclusions from their single sentence about what is coming and their vague tiny banner jpeg), I'll just defer to this picture I made two version updates ago as every single update brings complaints no matter what they change:

Just breathe everyone, and lets think positive thoughts. Maybe it will be fun. I think expecting anything huge at this point is just going to be letting yourself down.

Well Dynamis Divergence was pretty big in hindsight, and fun too.
Now if only the huge amount of lag/packets lost didn't ruin it completely... But I digrees, content-wise it was nice imho.

I am very excited to see what this new battlefield will be about! From the picture think there is no doubt it will be a WoE revamp or something.

I think it's somewhere in between. Several pieces would be way more than just "swaps". Granted in my impression SE made the +1 AF > +3 AF like a big jump, perhaps too big, and they tried to tone it down a bit when relic came, where most (luckily not all) pieces were a bit underwhelming, while still good. Will they try to contain themselves again with the empy, like they did with Relic? I think they will. I doubt this new content will be related to the Empy reforge btw, but I'll be very very glad to be proven wrong.

A lot of pieces will absolutely insane, but they'll still only be swaps. The question is : to beat what ? Which content ? At this point, only Master Trials remains as what we cancall high end-game content Maybe they will do Abyssea V2. Would be a very easy way to reuse assets and create challenging content by tweaking the bosses or newly added ones.

Yeah when that's your reaction to new content, perhaps it's time to take a break from the game. Clearly you aren't enjoying it anymore so what's the point in playing.
It will be interesting to see what route they go down with this content for group size and difficult vs reward. Hopefully the trust isn't Yoran-Oran copy and paste but if it is, it will be more interesting to see if they carry on this reward system and what they will offer for going to 960.

Asura.Sechs said: » Fulltime emp everywhere seems an exxageration, but "insane but only swaps" sounds like one too. I think it's somewhere in between. Of course it's somewhere in between. Literally every piece of gear in this game is a swap unless you Idle, TP/Hybrid, WS, JA or cast all in the game gear. And Empy certainly won't cover more than two of those at once because there's a limit to how many stats it can have (and some are already taken up for job-specific bonuses). Malignance as non-JSE gear is very likely the only set we'll see for a long time that'll even come close to being a "fulltime" set for Idle/Hybrid/TP/WS, but only if you're overbuffed to make use of the PDL. Doesn't mean you should be doing that, however. Point is, I guarantee you Empy won't have enough Accuracy, Attack, DT, MEVA and multiattack/WSD/STP all at the same time in addition to JSE bonuses to make it good enough to wear as a full or fulltime set. Unless they make the set bonuses so insanely OP that they trivialize other stats. Valefor.Gorns said: » The question is : to beat what ? Which content ? Uh, how about Odyssey lol?

As it stands Escha/Reisen was their "Abyssea V2".

Don't get me wrong, I'm very pleased to see this new content coming soon and I'm not hoping it's going to be a catwalk journey. It's just I'd like to see another harder content on top of Odysseey to justify the grinding and new empy+3 requirement aside of "do that event to get the new gears from it that will allow you to beat the content you get the gear from". What is wrong with people. Be happy there is even a NEW content being release.
[+]
After the recent slew of job adjustments, which since I don't see anything else announced so maybe they are done with that, and the Death Wyrm, I really don't have much faith in them releasing something enjoyable or that isn't a mess on release and having to wait a month for the next update to be fixed.
Don't get me wrong though, I would love to be proven wrong on that and it to be fun, enjoyable, accessible, filled with goodies for us to gather up, and not a broken mess. Right now I have low expectations, if it's not up to par, nothing of value is lost, if it's amazing, I'll likely have renewed faith in the producers until they make another terrible design choice.

Someone told me odyssey will consist in a battlefield with 3 Mireu, with random chance of earning 20 points with cap of 80 daily, and those points can be exchanged for rings with skill+10 costing 5000 points each.

I'm excited for new content, not so excited for fetters cause generally I don't enjoy mechanics associated with them. We'll see. May have to recruit people for my LS again depending on how the content works, bleh.
Pretty sure Odyssey is just the Wanted/UNM gear upgrade event, which they described as some sort of BC-type of thing if I recall right, albeit one with a "wider" entry method than most (to alleviate congestion).
Looks like they using WoE, possibly back zone leading to provenance. Which again makes sense as I'd expect this content to be rolled out piecemeal over several months. They are not done with job updates. Ninja did not receive the job specific updates besides the conversation of merits to spells and the adjusting of relic augments accordingly. That would suck badly if they stopped right there.
Don't even care what the new content is, I'm glad they have something else lined up. And if they fix Mireu and add something appropriate for the troubles, that would be grand.
[+]
I also hope they are not done making (good) job adjustments, we still have several broken jobs that need to be reworked.
