drk gets no love

All these updates and still i find myself at wits end with SE's lack of attention towards the Dark Knights. Last patch was doubly insulting because our rival class Paladin got not only 1 upgrade but 2 (Auto-refresh AND some sort od shield mastery). We have yet to get anything, and the proof is in the numbers. On valefor there is usually less than 100 drk on at any given time 50% of those are usually X-360 players who are going to try it for 5-10 lvls and quit. There needs to be a serious overhaul lest the only drk that will ever be on are 75 career drk's. Personally i think drk should get another attack bonus and auto refresh to balance out it with paladin. I wouldnt mind ANY good thing atm though.
New Job AF

New missions and quests... Did all you people complaining about the lack of AF for the new jobs even consider that all the AF that you aquire for all the other jobs are quested? If SE say they're adding new quests, I think its safe to assume that they will implement the PUP, COR and BLU AF quests. Maybe you should read the articles about the updates before commenting on them?

The reason why SE probably didn't implement them with the Aht Urghan disc is they didn't expect people to get to AF level so fast, let alone level 70...

i wonder if chocobo raising will b available for the people who haven't bought the expansion yet. Just a thought.
probably not
# Jun 19 2006 at 3:39 AM Rating: Decent
well i imagine that at some point during the quest you will have to enter one of the new zones, or for example, go to the chocobo liason in Al Zahbi. and without the expansion you wouldnt be able to get there. so just break down and ask mommy or daddy for the $30. or since its fathers day as of yesterday (happy fathers day guys!) then buy it for your self and claim it was a dad-day gift for you...
but i kinda hope it will be for 'everyone' not just the expansion user's.

Seems like the chocobo track has exits for all nations. I wonder if this can be used as a shortcut to get to different cities. Like enter from sandoria, and exit into bastok

They need to Instance Besieged for every 100 people,and take the best of 7 [700] people. I htink that would fix lag, and make it easir to control the mindless masses of players, and get a real strat going! imo

There's still plenty of time between now and the update in mid-July. Hopefully, within the next weeks, they'll announce the AFs. That, or at least surprise us by revealing them at patch day.

Smack you with tha' book...the fable book.

You know, while the lack of AF, and a Maat fight, and other job-relevant quests included on the actual expansion pack is somewhat perturbing, reading the replies to both this update and the RMT banning one, I'm beginning to think that nothing short of Squenix opening a portal through space-time and releasing Super Buddha-Jesus to disseminate candy, happiness, and life will make you all happy.

Honestly, people, don't make me bring out Aesop! I said don't make me bring--alright, that's it:

"In trying to please everyone, you will please no one."

This game is the artistic property of Square Enix, to do with as they will for better or worse. We are mere guests in this world, and where I come from it is impolite for guests to make demands upon their hosts.

That being said, it is equally important for the host to be accomodating to the guest; hence, Square, please nerf your immature, disrespectful, inexperienced GMs with your next update. I understand that you can take your game where you will, as is your right. But when you allow GMs to exercise unfair, prejudiced judgment in direct contradiction to both of our EULAs, the game ceases to be yours and instead becomes the progeny of injustice. And of really, really stupid GMs (save for the few honest, fair ones there may be).

Edit: Oh, and *cough*scythe-drk-update-please*cough*. ;) Whenever you can. If there is further delay on this or that promise or quest or whatnot, I understand the difficulty that underlies programming something so large as this game; my computer sometimes causes me to scream shaman incantations at it, and I built it. >.>

HERE HERE!!!!!

theres not many posts that i am willing to make a reply to, but i felt compelled to in this case as i feel the same way.
If everyone feels the game is to hard, or to empty(yeah right theres an unreal amount of things to do), or to w/e just know there are thousands out there thinking the same thing. EVERYONE has a different opinion! SE cant appease you all! so let them do what they will, or else quit! no one forces you to log in. no ones holding a knife to your throat and forcing u to type the numbers of your credit card in the lil squares.
so just be patient, and accept any of the changes that SE may choose to make. hell we just got a **** load of game added, i do not think we are in any position to demand other things.

Hey, they didn't mention AF for the new jobs. Watch that not come out until the autumn update. Hehe.
Argh!
# Jun 16 2006 at 12:17 PM Rating: Decent
July!?! I've been stuck at 70 cor for over a week now, expecting the announcement about the update any day now, but never did I expect to have to wait until July.

Damn, now I guess I'll have to go back to levelling thf until I can fight Maat.

You are saying omg i can't get pass 70, how is it possible then that there are several lvl 75's of the new jobs a few weeks ago already ?

I think you shouldn't ***** at SE, but just get some right info

That would be those people beating Maat with one of the old jobs, or already had it done. You only have to do it once. I don't think the Maat fights for new jobs are in yet. Which is why he said he needed to level THF.

Um not true you need to fight maat again for every job to get the cap up to 75. Thats why nobody except like 2 or 3 persons have it.

I'm not saying the fights for the new jobs are in (maybe they are though no clue),but maybe you don't need to fight maat at all to get pass lvl 70 on the new jobs.

Fact is you can get pass lvl 75 on the new jobs already!

umm..no... let me clear this up, if you have 1 of 3 NEW JOBS as your MAIN, then you cannot do limit with maat fight yet. Because there aren't any Testimony for them yet.

also, you only have to fight maat once..not for every job unless u want maat's cap. u can get the new jobs pass 70 if u have 1 or the 15 older jobs at 70 and beat maat or have it done already.

Quoted from Play Online's April update topic.

Quote:
The final limit break quests for the new jobs are scheduled to be added in the next version update. For the time being, you must clear the "Shattering Stars" quest with another job in order to reach level 71-75.
