1 of them is a traitor, who you defeat later on, and Lilith kills
and the remaining 5 combine into 1 after getting sucked into Atomos

Honestly DR, I would not take that chance, get your missions done.

[DarkRift]

I have how many days until the update? That's a lot of grinding if I try to get caught up.

[Alkar]

Yep I know that Spira. I was just saying that SE never mentioned what kind of entity they actually are. If they were supposed to be avatars they would've told us by now.
Edit: update is next monday but like I said they most likely won't come from WotG.

Communal synergy furnaces will be made available in certain cities, and "synergy engineers"—your guides into the fascinating world of synergy—will be posted beside them to teach beginners the ropes. Furthermore, by completing a new quest, players will gain access to a handy new item that will allow them to summon their very own private furnace for use in field areas, eliminating the need to wait in line to use a public one.

Woohoo!! \o\\o//o/

We will be able to summon a stove!!
It won't be summoner exclusive nor an avatar... but at least it's something.

[dakpluto]

Trust me.....I do understand why the stove we would be asking "How the fuck do we use this thing?!?!"

[JudicatorAldaris]

QUICK!!! I need 5 other brave summoners to summon the STOVE FROM HELLZ! WHO IS WITH ME!

p.s. You have to toss all your summoner gear in the circle and burn it to create Synergy for the stove to pass though into our world.

[DarkRift]

SE is so full of shit if we dont get a new avatar. At the last fanfest i think everyone who did interviews with SE asked about avatars. How could they put it off like this when the demand was clearly there.

[JudicatorAldaris]

I'm confused when is the actual version update, I guess its not monday?????

Or is this a version update Monday but stuff not yet playable yet?

I'm just confused why did they announced an early November update but yet the 3rd part of the update is late November?!

Regarding the Next FINAL FANTASY XI Update

The next version update of FINAL FANTASY XI will be split into the following three parts.

- 1st Part (Oct. 29, 2009)
This will be a version update without maintenance.
* There will be no in-game changes with this version update.

- 2nd Part (Nov. 9, 2009)
This will be a version update with maintenance.

- 3rd Part (During the last part of November) This will be a version update with maintenance.

* We will provide more details on the maintenance and version updates at a later date.

Additionally, the third add-on scenario, available for purchase on Oct. 26, 2009, "A Shantotto Ascension: The Legend Torn, Her Empire Born" will be available for play after the Nov. 9 version update.

Additionally, due to congestion on or around the date of the version update, it may take some time for the contents of "A Shantotto Ascension" to show up in FINAL FANTASY XI after purchase. It is recommended that if you are considering a purchase of "A Shantotto Ascension," you do so before the version update.

I guess I'm going to answer my own question but is it because of this???...

Unveiling the New Synergy System! (11/05/2009)

Ladies and gentlemen! Coming to you in a version update scheduled for as early as late November is "Synergy"—the new in-game system that will add a whole new dimension to synthesis!

[DarkRift]

Some stuff is coming Monday. Like the Shanttototootoo expansion, job adjustments, etc. I bet the synergy stuff is coming in a third update late november. I could be mistaken though.

Hence my cries of joy~

[Alkar]

Exactly. Monday is the main update with all the job adjustments and announcements made before the new sinergy & crap systems were announced. These new ones are delayed for further testing to ensure that we lose enough gil and materials in the process.
Anyway, cross your fingers for a monday announcement regarding avatars. Unless, of course, they delay those as well for further testing.

[JudicatorAldaris]

Fail +1 for updates today..... Fail POL Updates

[Yoona]

I'm gonna be really irritated if theres no SMN announcement on monday. Its been like how many YEARS since they said they were working on them? They kept saying it was coming, and way back in june right before the july update they said it was right around the corner. Its now november and the last major version update for the rest of the year. Like Avatars favor sounds very promising and imo is more likely to help fix SMN than a new avatar but why cant we get both?

[DarkRift]

We are not getting an avatar this update. Maybe it could happen around the update later this november.... or never.

[JudicatorAldaris]

Rather than being let down or disappointed ,people are just going to be flat out annoyed/pissed. Mainly just annoyed.

This is just getting ridiculous.

Monday is going to be a interesting day I hope they come for SE's sake and their image even though...LOL...never mind...I don't think the words SE/Image/Good go together anymore.

[Tikki]

Am I annoyed we haven't seen the new avatars we've been promised? Yes.

Am I surprised SE is dragging their heels on it? Not any more.

Am I happy for Avatar's Favor at least? Well.. we have to see exactly how it works now, it may be awesome, it may really really blow.

Am I happy with smn? For the most part, yeah, but it still really needs work. At least I've been changing the perception of smn to people in my various linkshells though just being competent and always trying to do my best with everything I have available to me.

[Alkar]

Exactly, it's getting annoying. We never asked for new avatars but they simply decided to tell us they were working on new ones back when ToAU was released. Next time SE just shut up and release them, don't get our hopes up every update with silly announcements like "next year you'll be asking how to use them" or "they're around the corner". Yep I won't be disappointed if monday there's no announcement, just extremely pissed off.

[dakpluto]

SE really isn't too worried about new avatars because they know most of these fools will oh and aw for a day over it, realize it's still bound to the outdated system we deal with now, and continue to bitch and moan that SE isn't doing anything.


I will take 1 good update to the current Summoner gameplay over 5000 new avatars any day. The Avatar favors isn't the fix I was hoping for, but at least it shows they are trying in the right direction. Not more broken avatars, but adjustments to the system.
