July 2026 Version Update
Wow I hope drop rate isn’t ***.
Definitely better than expected. Taint said: » Wow I hope drop rate isn’t ***. Definitely better than expected. Where do you see it? Shouldn't be available until the servers go down and we can download files --- Any1 want to place bets? - ALL 3 Bodies - 1 set of Body/Legs/Head - No accessories/some? accessories - Something completely different

JSE loincloths so we gotta collect 22 more things

They said they would release the other 2 fights as HTBF, and those drop legs/hat. But my guess is on like a mage staff or Daybreak-like weapon with a unique spell. If they release 3 bodies in one HTMB they will be worse drop rate than shinryu.
You better pray your *** *** off they dont do that. Optimally you want the mage head, heavy body, light legs Then the set rotates for AMK and ASA Heavy head, light body, mage legs I can't think of many fights in the entire game that drop 3 bodies aside from like 75 kirin and odin-einherjar
[+]
another thing to place bets on:
how bad do you think the fight is gonna be? the OG version does not sound easy, and it's likely going to have tp denial nerf like CoD has.

Wow! Pet: Acc +60, just what I always wanted!
Edit: wow where's my +60? Was really looking forward to all that ACC

Phoenix.Velicity said: » OG fight at 75 was a nightmare lol The other, far more reasonable method was having a PLD tank it, and Rangers shoot it from the top of the stairs. Lotta groups on Asura back then couldn't zerg it, because it came out right after Salvage Bans, and so a lot of the most geared and knowledgeable players at the time were groupless/no longer had their endgame characters. Not sure how it was on other servers. I experienced a pretty big depressive episode because of it. I lost my brother and like 2/3rds of my friendlist in the Salvage Bans, and my social LSmates could have zerged it with Icarus Wings, but when I told them to, "Bring Icarus Wings, they are mandatory for us to win." They took that as, "We'll probably be fine without them." Later won with the ranged method

we fighting that damn crystal?
Asura.Vyre said: » (Nah fam, it's gonna be jacked up non-augmentable versions of the bodies or something :/) inb4 bodies but with entirely random augments, and there's something in the augment pool absolutely *** busted
[+]
I'm betting it's just the 3 bodies with stats similar to the RSE we got.
EDIT: HOPE YOU *** LIKE 30 MERIT POINT FIGHTS WITH ***DROPS BECAUSE WOO BOY Personally not expecting much as far as the gear itself, but would be nice to have the different ones for lockstyle. :P
They reduced Shinryu/CoD to 10 merits, but who gives a ***when nothing ever drops from Shinryu.
JulyVersionUpdate said: In an effort to better optimize the game for new players, we will be changing the initial settings for the following items. ・Game screen aspect ratio ・Area Display ・Status Icons ・Timer Display ・Third-Person Camera Any guesses on what they mean here? I don't see anything related to camera in the image, so either it's in another menu not pictured or it's just a general adjustment/addition to the default. It would be great if we had a slider(or just adjust the current keybind) with increased camera distance. Removing the jitter that occurs when the camera is pinned between your character and a wall/door that you're too close to would also be welcome. They gave excruciating details on these.
The settings in-game have defaults, and they changed the default settings to more appropriate choices. They showed every setting and the new default in the post. Third-person Camera > Y Axis and X Axis -> Inverted now.
[+]
Nice to see the lowered merit cost for Shinryu and Cloud Of Darkness fights from 30 to 10. The drop rates on Shinryu still sucks, but at least we can do 7 fights (8 if you stored) in a row, instead of just the 2 (3 if stored).
Updating the BG page the same night as the update for

Finally an update for melee GEO. Unless I'm missing something, I think that's the top winner of the patch, lol.
Uh...Melee GEO...? Why? They got a bad TP piece and a worse Nyame body?
It's all beginner gear or something. Looks awful.
[+]
I really... really need an explanation from SE.
Convoker's Doublet +3 came out 10 years ago, with +16 Blood Pact Damage on it. This new armor has +15 Blood Pact Damage. Why the *** would you make a new piece of armor and make it WORSE THAN SOMETHING THAT HAS EXISTED FOR A *** DECADE?!
[+]
I guess it's possible there is a way to choose augments for them like how the original pieces were augmented. Wouldn't be surprised if that wasn't the case though lol.
I'm... Underwhelmed, especially after the nice pieces from cloud of darkness.
I was hopeful when I saw a new PLD melee club, but just a 242 isn't gonna cut it. Why isn't blu on the sword
Ranger still isn't on a new axe, dagger or sword.
Carbuncle.Maletaru said: » Uh...Melee GEO...? Why? They got a bad TP piece and a worse Nyame body? It's all beginner gear or something. Looks awful. Offhand new club, WSD+10%, use new WSD+10% neck, finally GEO has a gear upgrade for it pretty much specific to it because everyone else has better! Edit: Nvm, was reading it wrong, it's only WSD+10% total, not each piece, update is dogshit. Though I guess that might not be a neck? Could be ammo? |
