Are things now back to the way they were before the patch? People still camping 3 kings?

Has the Expansion offered a bunch of new HNMs to camp to get away from the kings?

Are people loving the new job in the end game? Were they worth leveling up?

Is there still new things to figure out in the expansion?

There must be a patch coming up soon, any idea what content will be unlocked?

I think most of the same people still camp land kings. COP wyrms continue to stay up because SMN LS stopped killing them. I heard Valour killed Cerberus recently and became first NA LS on our server to do that.

There seems to be a huge influx of players on new jobs at the moment. Not enough PLD or NIN to go around to accomodate all the parties. Some have even gotten new jobs to 75 already with around the clock power leveling so my guess is some people enjoy the new jobs.

I'm guessing new missions will be released slowly through patches. Hopefully AF quests for new jobs are on the way. Possibly more HNMs than just Cerberus.

best part about the Expansion is the new XP areas for lvl 75. can chain 249
without a problem. Its pretty nice

new places are great to xp/merit. Kings seem to be quiet atm still. Fafnir was up unclaimed for a bit this morning. Lots of people seem to be focused on new jobs, FFXI seems quiet period tho. No new HNMs really found, cept Cerberus who isn't really worth it.

Heard of someone using THF/BLU at Kirin and using SA Headbutt for 100% Stun. That alone could very well change things on alot of things.

dont ask why, but i was checking aout ige, and there are quite a few accounts for sale, i think people are getting bored.

The new exp spots are amazing. The new jobs, aside from crap ass puppetmaster, are fantastic. Cerberus is an interesting HNM, but still not enough to pull people away from what currently exists. Beseiged is really fun since they tweaked it... picture Dynamis Xarcabard, with 700 people, and mobs with double hp doing huge AOEs. It ends after like 10-15 minutes, but it is enjoyable. Assault is fun and rewarding (so much armor available), but some of the objectives are so retarded it hurts.

Overall, the expansion breathed new life into the game. In my opinion of course.

my first fight as 75 pld

Besieged is cool. New jobs meh. AF for new jobs, and more missions are supposed to come in june. Only a few areas with good music (Caedarva, arrapahgo) but nothing as good as lufaise music imo. I still like lufaise best for fun exp.

Man, I think that's absolute bullshit to release an expansion and not even release all of the content.

I bought the expansion... and I'm still very very bored.

Leveling bonecraft when I have time. Everyone else seems pretty happy with Assault etc.

i was just seeing if the prices changed, since the expansion.

So basically the Expansion hasnt really fixed any of the main flaws?


Would it be a safe bet to say that the expainsion has only distracted people from them?

thats a way of putting it yes.

I heard the corsairs are gay and won't cast Corsair's roll.

i still havent even ben to all the new zones....and the besieged map (which is like conquest for the original zone), seems like its ripe for a lot more zones. the story also tells of Aht Urghan's enemies to the east. so far, Aht Urghan Whitegate is the farthest east you can go, so i would definately say theres gonna be quite a few more new zones in the coming months

Depends what you refer to as the "main flaws" really. Everyone's been saying the new expansion is pretty good atm.

The new region is awesome for exping high level jobs in. On top of Sanction (the new Signet) providing bonus exp (like up to 20% per kill) by occasionally defending the main city, they've basically increased the number of level 75 exp camps by about 10x by making mobs repop at 3 minute intervals instead of 15 minutes.

Assault is fun, despite the "objectives" occasionally being pretty rediculous and cryptic, but once people figure out what the heck it's expecting you to do it becomes easier.

Besiged is fun in a mindless kind of way, lol. Enemy sends 100+ mobs, town sends 400+ players, they clash in the middle and you get a whole lot of lag; but it's still fun, lol.

The new story is kind of lacking, the whole thing seems to be based mostly around assault and has a very casual aura to it. Most missions (so far) can be soloed, Assault missions between them need only 3 people and can be done at any level 50-75 (adjustable level cap).

New jobs I don't know so much about, although I've levelled BLU a bit and it's fun. There are already 75 BLUs on various servers and Ilma is 74 now i believe. BLU is actually a good DD really, I doubt it can compare with 75 MNKs and WARs but it can hold it's own for sure.

No, the expansion has not added items to draw people away from camping kings (although we've not camped any since expansion) but it has added a whole lot more to do instead of sitting around seeking or waiting around for stuff. Once Chocobo Circuit and stuff like that come along it'll only be more.

All in all, it's a pretty good expansion. But if all you were hoping for was "better king/sky gear" then you'll be dissappointed. Although who's to say that won't be added down the line.

does anyone have the af for the new jobs yet?

your getting info from people who don't even play anymore yarr..
