The father of Gundam! Known colloquially among anime fans as 皆殺しの富野 Minagoroshi no Tomino <Everybody dies Tomino> due to the high mortality rates of the characters in his series'.  He was born on this day in 1941.

Endless Tower Update:

 

Last week we made a change to the entry mechanics of Endless tower, but I did not remember to note that the changes were taking place or how they would work in the maint. thread. This caused a lot of confusion, when players attempted to run ET like they usually do-I apologize for the miscommunication. There has been a lot of feedback from players who are voicing alternate solutions to address the abuse of ET. We are talking about these are working to get measures in place to prevent exploits while avoiding as much as possible harming the experience of normal users. 

 

For this week we are planning to put the following changes in: 

 

-2 Ashes of Darkness are given upon entering ET

-These are required to re-enter the tower if you are disconnected

-The Ashes have a 4 hour timer on them so they will expire in the same time as you have to re-enter the tower. 

-THere is still a save point for re-entry on level 50.

 

 

Kafra and Tool dealer NPCs will be added to the Alchemist Guild for convenience in brewing. 

 

New Box with enchantable costume headgears and the first costume back item: 

 

 

Turn ins: 

 

Low: Stemworm, Rafflesia

 

Mid: Ground Deleter, Wakwak

 

High: Imp, Salamander

[AlmrOfAtlas]

First!

 

Horrible costume garment. We should be getting ways to remove those awful wings. Instead we get a gaudy (and poorly executed) pallete swap?

 

+1 for Tomino. Have you taken a look at Gundam Reconguista in G? Good ol' Tomino's retaken the helm for that project, and it's turning out wonderfully.

Do we need to use the ash only if we get disconnected inside and have to re-enter? Or will it still be used when we exit the tower the usual way (via warp/wing/relog)?

[Rusti]

that's a rather disappointing costume xx

Any reentry uses an ash.

[DeadIntern]

Any reentry uses an ash.

 

Then kindly rephrase original post to:

- These are required to re-enter the tower.

 

No further details are needed.

[RaveMaster]

Any info of these enchants and which costumes can be enchanted?

[meli]

So reading the new ET rules, you can still abuse the instance from floor 50th therefore killing even more mvps (bee, valk, fbh, ifrit)? HMMM SURE!

[Omnipheles]

Hey I'll take enchantable costumes over that damn lamp any day of the week.

[taianlight]

Wonder if there will be a costume enchanter or everytime we get a new costume hat from the box it'll have random adjacent enchantments on it.

People ask for costumes to cover ugly wing garments - Solution: ugly costume wings to cover ugly non costume wings...

People ask for less costumes with stats- Solution: make costumes enchantable...

People ask that ET exploit be fixed- Solution: leave the exploit in but make solo players and low end players suffer while high tier players still abuse exploit...

[Sapphic]

Up the ash count, but delete all current ashes =o?

[RaveMaster]

Succubus and Incubus for mid TI please

The exploit can still be abused?

[meli]

Literally they could've caught all the exploiters by leaving a character in GM hide at endless tower entrance (DON'T EVEN HAVE TO BE ACTIVELY WATCHING). Check after a while to see the same names entering over and over, ban and done.

 

If same characters keep entering the instance with different party names, you know what to do. And the only rage you'll have to deal with is from the people getting caught n_n

[Viri]

Stat costumes funnnn. Details pls

[AmonRA]

The exploit can still be abused?

 

Yup, but now you can star from 50 floor, so you can farm now Ifri rings and so many chances to get cards from weak MvPs <3

[xLoli]

Stat costumes? Weren't costumes originally meant to just... look good? *Sighs*

[ilovemilk]

What is the point of implementing ashes if the exploit can still be abused?

i tried that Gundam Reconguista in G and ended up liking Gundam Build Fighters Try better...

[WeissCeres]

Should delete the older ashes first. Then it can't be abuseable anymore.
