After a long period of nothing amazing being announced by SE, which definately has nothing to do with XIV's scheduled release next year, we finally get notice of the next version update;
New Version Update Scheduled for November! (24/09/2009)
We're pleased to announce that the development and quality assurance teams are hard at work on the new version update, currently on track for an early November release.
With thrilling new episodes of the Wings of the Goddess nation quests, job-related adjustments, added features for Moblin Maze Mongers, an extensive and all-new system involving items, and more, there's sure to be something for adventurers of all stripes!
Further details will be posted here as the release draws closer, so keep checking this space!
Nothing really worth commenting on, apart from they're releasing the next add-on expansion in October, so it won't coincide with the update. Neither of these seem particularily interesting, the video for the new expansion is kinda cool but it's hard to get excited at all now that we know it's going to be 3/4 tedious and badly planned fetch quests, one low-level NM fight and two BCNM-type fights, which are easy as long as you have the right setup, but quite unforgiving if you have a couple of bad jobs and/or players in your group.
But on the positive side, that dagger looks kinda cool. (I would comment on [S] nation quests as a plus, but they are mostly designed for 3~6 man parties, and very few people do them so I don't get to enjoy that content).
I've not done much, and nothing notable has happened in salvage, dynamis or limbus (apart from some shield/parrying skillups farming bhaflau ramparts, woo).
There are fewer people online on the server in general these days (1k~1.2k during weekdays when I'm on) and there are generally fewer pickup shouts for stuff, which is why I've not done much outside of events and soloing. Unless the next few updates motivate anyone to keep playing XI, even just for the sake of completing the main story for WotG (which is what I'd personally like to achieve) I don't see the number of players going back up. I could be wrong though, it could just be Hades that everyone's jumping from ;).
Whatever. Stuff I did:
Campaign! Got my RDM buffer back from 35k > cap. Been doing a whole lot of dying before then.
WotG quests/missions! I need to do fights to progress and I've not had the time to try putting a group together for it ;|
Farming tier 2 enspells, beacuse I needed something to do. Grauberg has 2 mobs that drop it, and took over an hour to actually put out. I farmed enough Quadav chest/back plates to just buy the scroll.
