Im sure I probably posted in wrong area and I apoligize if so. Is there any work being done on adding xarc? Where does it stand, or whats holding it up from being added? Just curious and completely respect the work you guys put in to making all this stuff coded right. Thanks in advance for your responses.

  • No work being done that we know of
  • No one's working on it, I don't know what state it's in right now. Only thing holding it up is to get someone to work on it :)

Most likely needs:
Mobs placed in the zone. Primarily statues. You're still probably looking at around 100-130 positions. Ezekyel's changes to the Dynamis system may have reduced it so you only need 2-3 mobs for each job.
Pops scripted. Which statues pop which kinds of mobs, as well as NMs. The number that need to be scripted is pretty much equal to the number that need to be placed.
Kill conditions scripted out in order to spawn the appropriate statues.
Drop lists on all possibly mob types in the zone.
Plenty of scripting so that Dynamis Lord does more than stand there and go "Hurrrrrr." May include some TP move creation, as well.

Bit of a time sink to do. Lots of things to keep ourselves busy on in the mean time.

haha sorry kj i wasnt meaning that as in people who lvl it are gimp, just meaning another job to lvl but not really as many want it as th hands and stuff. I understand its a ton of time to fix and all, and i greatly appreciate all the responses and time you guys put in. As for DL, couldnt he just be left out but still have mobs to farm if he is causing issues? I know pr said many things not just DL, but thats 1 less thing to add, kinda like leaving out astral flow cause the damage formula isnt known.

Dynamis Lord is (in my opinion) the fun part. Nothing quite like tuning your beast and giggling with glee over all the players you'll kill. If somebody skips it, that's like declining dessert.

The rest is pretty dull.

Yeah that was fun when we went in with a rdm and actually had to have him melee with enspells to get him out of that state. lmao

To that point though, could you use the same logic, bump up his strength to one shot people, then have him spam "Hurrrr" in /shout. :lol:

i second casius, i love dynamis lord and would hope he worked. but im also a realist and understand the amount of time/effort it would take to do xarc, so if he cant be done right i dont want him a pushover like some other things are, might be better to just leave him out or make him next to unkillable temporarily. farming some relics beats farming nothing at all ^^
