Oh boy! I can't wait to see the new Shell Ring +2's !!!

I'm judging by the sounds of that, that if they are making this battle system the alternative method for abjurations, that they will be bought with points, and some kinda rare crap gear/items is gonna drop otherwise. I just hope they make it affordable, since they seem to be coming up with more and more ways to remove gil from the economy then put more back in. I'm really hoping they decide to go with Aht Urghan currencies as payment for the entry item, that'd be own.

Will be interesting to learn how few people will be ultimately necessary to make the trip worthwhile. Just because they say 6 people can participate, doesn't mean it's geared to work for 6 people.

Ever thought that may actually be a WAR not a DRK? I mean does holding a scythe explicitly mean its a DRK..?

Nah. They said "The release date for the new job's relic armor won't be released yet." Well, if it was here, we'd have gotten a "Relic armor is coming out in the June update" instead.

Think this is where you'll be able to get the BLU/PUP/COR gear equivalent to the stuff we get from Dynamis?

I agree. I am pretty sure this is just an artist's rendering.

Is the female Hume supposed to be the SMN? It looks more like a WHM to me but idk. Maybe she is /SMN and has Ramuh out.

Either way it should be a nice addition for those players 60+.

I'm all over this. I love fighting in bowels. It's some good sh*t.

it looks like it will eliminate player favorabilitie that plagues many battle field related dugneons. another words....no all ranger all blm tactics that most people enjoy so much.

I think that's what people said about Salvage when it first came out too...

I appreciate them bringing along a Dragoon and a Puppetmaster along for the event. I'm happy that they convey the message that only ignorant bigots discriminate against jobs. If all the jobs weren't meant to participate in the game, why would the jobs have been created? I really appreciate the picture posted. This event sounds like fun.

By 30 minute time limit, do they mean 30 minutes per room, or 30 minutes for the whole dungeon? Because the bosses better not eb too ahrd if it's the whole dungeon with that time limit. The dat miners said there was at least 5 rooms I believe, 5 bosses and their minions in 30 minutes with one party?! I sure hope it's actually possible, or the 6 minimum should be upped to whatever it really is to stop teasing us.

About PUP, most monsters in dynamis/ bcnm's/ enm's, etc are actually pretty low level in comparison, just with very high stats due to their NM status. And pet jobs' pets do a whole lot more damage for every level the enemy goes down than we do. For example, ultima and omega in COP are middle low VT, just with humongous NM stats. Puppets rip them up because of it, because of their increasing strength as the enemy's level drops. (Same with BST pets wyverns and Avatars, ever see those 400 damage swings from carrie on too weaks, or 200 damage carby swings?)

Since we're supposed to clear the whole damn thing with possibly as little as a party in 30 minutes, my bet's on the monsters being low level, just like mission and assault NM's.

Also kinda hoping the point bought items are the abjurations "from other sources" they promised us, and the items the monsters drop are new ones. I don't care if you get 1000 points a run and abjurations are 100,000 points, at least you could slowly work towards them. If they are rare drops off the boss monsters, the supply isn't really going to go up much at all.

You know, the battlefield could be totally gimped out on mob Lv./abilities much like what they're going to do with Promyvion battles. That could explain why the dev. team is not all lying on top of each other. Also, there's nothing to indicate that the people didn't all end up lying on top of each other. cheers!

Love it.

hmmm so the dev team is neenjar onry!!!!!!111
