| I just realized that GMs were probably first conceptualized (is that a word? is now) to be a semi-visible force like the Judges in FFT, but it was probably too distracting to have people call them over just to be like "dude! I wanted to see your cool armor." They're pretty much non-existant for us now, which kind of is a problem in itself, I think. I hope with these new policies or whatever we actually see them more, players might not act up as much if they actually see people that can ban/jail them strolling by more often. Just for example, if they just parked an AFK red-dude in Aery I'd wager there'd be a lot less fishy Argusing (that's a word now too) - I figure people like to be able to use the abjuration they bot.
Well, in theory it would be cool, but I guess controlling the "omg ur a GM!! lol!" tells would be annoying so I doubt it'll happen. Maybe if they just gave the GMs a reverse blacklist? Or maybe I just wanted to actually see that GM get stuck in front of that IS BC.
With that in mind, they should allow them to just smite on the spot whoever calls them for "dude I wanted to see your armor" .
Back to my nap before my last undergraduate exam. Zzz. | comments: 10 comments or Leave a comment   |

| Things I've figured out after using it a while. They probably apply to BRD/NIN too... but I haven't actually done that yet, so eh.
1) Enmity = hate, but more importantly, haste = lowered recast timers = survivability and hate.
Thus, an abundance of haste over enmity itself is a good choice unless you are choosing gear for another purpose. This isn't an ability-dependent tank but a spell-dependent tank like PLD/NIN and NIN/DRK, so Haste essentially has the same function, with the bonus of fixing up your Utsusemi timers as well. Granted, it's a little harder to get.
2) Hitting more people with songs = more hate.
NIN/BRD's main function is heavy, heavy hate generation combined with the survivablity of the NIN mainjob. It has no other real ability (healing, stunning, etc), so you need to make sure the former is done well to be useful as NIN/BRD. And it won't do it well unless you are hitting two people other than yourself with Mazurka, so it's useless in fights that don't have at least two people standing in the same spot. Useless as in, wake up and use another job. Or SJ.
Hitting one person + yourself probably classes NIN/BRD under NIN/DRK, PLD/NIN and RDM/NIN tanks for hate, even if you go all out, while lacking the flexibility of the latter three. Adding one more person with the same activity, however, provides hate that even a hardworking PLD/NIN or RDM/NIN (I believe they're close) has extreme difficulty taking back. If it scales like that, being able to hit your whole party might be like being able to use a 5 second charge time Invincible every 20 seconds or so. Mmmm, the possibilities. (Additional note: that's also why BRD/NIN is redudant if you're hitting that many.)
Anyway, there's a diameter 20 circle to do so in, at least two should be easy to do for most fights, assuming people cooperate while being smart about AE and liberal use of a little thing called "/console exec distance."
This is also why NIN/BRD is sucks a lot more when kiting. It's generally harder to have to run to places where people are concentrated so your Mazurka doesn't do nothing, and also be smart enough to not MPK your entire mage group with Meikyo Shisui'd AEs at the same time... oops.
3) Use Mazurka first, and most.
Although both mainjob and support job provide several hate tools, remember that Mazurka not only provides vastly superior hate over those tools but has a 24 second recast (and spells and such should bring it near 14ish with decent-good gear). That means, with the spell lockout, if you try more than one spell, including Utsusemi: Ichi, you'll likely be late for your next Mazurka.
Better to do nothing for a few seconds for Mazurka to open up again and play it as soon as possible, instead. I personally stop doing things (besides Utsusemi, of course) when /recast says I'm @7 seconds or so.
4) Horde Lullaby is funny.
To get hate on multiple adds, Horde -> Mazurka seems to be incredibly effective compared to tagging using single-target spells. | | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment |
| ■気になることあれこれ
■Various interesting things
MC：レリック・免罪符の入手チャンスは増えないのでしょうか
MC: Will there be more opportunities to acquire relics and Abjurations?
松井：近いうちに免罪符のチャンスが増やす予定です。
レリックと同等クラスのものはアトルガンでも出していきますよ
Matsui: There are plans to increase chances at acquiring Abjurations in the near future.
Aht'Urhgan will have Relics and similar class items.
MC:エリアチェンジしてもフェローが消えないようになりませんか？またクエスト続編は？
MC: Will adjustments be made so that Fellows (NPCs) won't disappear when you change areas? Also, will there be continuations for the quests?
小川：エリアチェンジの件は、担当が前向きにがんばってますので。近いうちに対処されるかも？
フェロークエスト続編はアトルガンミッションが落ち着くまで難しそうです。
Ogawa: For the changing areas thing, people have been working on it from before, so perhaps we will see a patch soon?
Any continuation of the Fellowship quests will be difficult until the Aht'Urhgan missions are settled.
MC：パレードゴルゲットの入手方法は？
MC: How do you get the Parade Gorget?
松井：NMを出すには調理８０くらいで合成できるゴブリンドリンクが必要。
（ムバルポロス旧市街の？？？にトレードする）
ゴブリンドリンクは合成に８個材料が必要です。
ギサールの野菜とラテーヌキャベツとあと６こ。
のこりは明日明後日。皆さんも調べてみてください！
Matsui: To pop the NM, an approximately level 80 synth, Goblin Drink, is required.
(Trade it to a ??? in Oldton Movalpolos)
There are 8 ingredients for Goblin Drink.
Gysahl Greens and La Thiene Cabbage and 6 others.
The others will be revealed tomorrow and the day after. Please try looking them up!
Translation notes: When they say "Relic" they mean the Artifact Armor that drops in Dynamis. And frankly, we should too. What is this AF2 AFII AFv2 AFv2+1-3^5 crap? | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
