[Update Details]
The following issues have been addressed:

- Fish Ranking is now available
- Certain monsters disappearing then reappearing repeatedly
- Incorrect naming of Yagudo in Dynamis - Valkurm
- Monsters becoming invisible when affected by the beastmaster ability "Charm" just before they disappear to return to their usual radius of activity
- The names of the summoned entities "Thunder Spirit" and "Water Spirit" being reversed
- Incorrect coordinates being temporarily displayed when closing the map
- The effects of certain equipment not being applied to Diabolos's "Blood Pact" abilities
- MPK measures not being put into effect for certain monsters

[Varnx]

All those bets are actually useful though, hows this.

50:1 Fix the Diabolos Menu
1:1 Made you NPC better, because thats all SE keeps talking about.

[Not Kuno]

We have introduced a new feature, available for your adventuring fellow. You may now use /cyber in cunjuntion with your adventuring fellow to increase the relationship between a player and their adventuring fellow.

[Tilo]

They fixed the menu to where it wasn't showing "pact with an avatar" I think, if that's what you mean.

I'm betting they are going to fix the bp -timer equipment stuff to actually work for Diabolos now, as well as maybe do something about BST (either fix the Leave command so the mobs don't disappear but won't aggro or some shit, or just delete the job all together).

[Mifaco]

Almost believable, but you left out some bullshit restrictions (16:00:00 in between each cyber session would be a good example)

You forgot the obligatory quest that requires you to open this feature.

You forgot the obligatory quest that requires you to open this feature.

And the obligatory quests to pose your adventuring fellow in other positions besides the default missionary.

[Tanthalas]

Diabolos blood pact timer should be fixed too?

[Janice]

Fish ranking system! Not actually putting it in yet, but maintenence just to prepare for it 2 months from now.

[Jotaru]

How about a BST JA that works like Stay as well as causing the mob to regen HP in much the way they used to when released... Then you could Charm, Leave for kill, recharm pet before it disappears, and use the Heal JA... Yah, that'd be nice... /grumble

[Shirikye]

I call something as BS and trivial as:

You can now store the Dream Robe and Dream Robe +1 with the Event Storage NPC.

Then people will ask "WTF Y IS MY NPC SAYING SHE HAS A HEADACHE!? WTF?!?!?"

[CaladbolgSiren]

Well, sex has been known to heal a headache. /cyber again?

[Orfeo]

What time is this in EST? :s

[Parshath]

WHAT TIME IS IT MR. WOLF?

[Orfeo]

Fuck that thing, no clue how to use it ~_~;

[SassiAsura]

I say it's prolly something to do with sea/diabolos/bahamut and the second part of the xmas event getting unlocked?

[Parshath]

Fuck that thing, no clue how to use it ~_~;

Well Orfeo, sit down my boy. What you do is input a time in HH:MM:SS format in the time box. Then, you select what time zone the time is in which you specified on the left. Then you select what time zone you'd like to convert it to on the right.

[Khelek]

I see Treasures of Ahtguhasuhta .DATs being implemented...
