The February Mini-Update Goes Live! (02/14/2011)

Small update is better than no update. The "all stone" thing means less time I have to stand around and listen to retards roleplay or whatever fuck else they do at stone guy.

lol so true. This is definitely a good test-case scenario for SE. If this 'all stone' option alleviates congestion in p.jeuno then there is no need to implement anything else.

[Burningthought]

No. They did not. Seriously, some of you have the attention span of a three year old.

Well I was hoping at least the atma stuff would make it in, I mean how hard is it to organize npc shit. Meh.

[Hanyoko]

In a way this will help the congestion in jeuno. Rather then stand there they will go out and skillup!.... one can hope.

Keep in mind there is 145 atma, I don't know what the limitations are for the menu systems but any change will be a huge overhaul on their part. Nevermind how long it takes managers to agree on a UI setup.

It won't do anything about the idiots who just stand around the Joachim and Horst, but it will let you get out of there much faster so you don't have to deal with them anymore.

[Colenzo]

... god damn it I am so disappointed, I really wanted my fucking atma menu changed

"Experience point yield for defeating monsters in non-Abyssea areas has been increased."

This is what I've been looking forward to the most for this update. However, is this to be a straight doubling of experience points across the board? or will it vary by mob level. I cannot fathom the significance of making a mystery of this.

any mob over EPs EXP got doubled is what the twitter thing said I believe.

[Hyan]

TW exp got quadrupled, iirc.

0 x 4 = ???

In Fields of Valor, the once-per-day limit on undertaking training regimes has been lifted.
Regimes may now be completed for experience as often as desired. Gil and tab rewards, however, will still be awarded only once per Vana'diel day. With this change, hunts and individual training will no longer share the same timer.

Is exp gimped if you're way under levelled in FoV? If you have 2 accts, this might be a faster way to level subs than Dominion Ops.

If you're talking about doing it on one job, then swapping to a lower job later like people do with Dom. Ops. then yeah ... changing jobs cancels the FoV.

If you're talking about going out on the low level job while another char does the killing, I have no idea.

The reward from completing the page is the same no matter what your level. A guy in my old LS leveled a WHM alt from 1 by spamming it in Terrigan with his main.

[Jex]

SOMEONE FUCKING FIX MY FLEE HACKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Both speeder AND clipper are broken. afk no reason to play.

Thanks. My alt WHM's BLM sub has been sitting at 29 cos I've been too lazy to get it that last level for Abyssea.

[Andradi]

XP for DC and EP appears to be straight doubled, not sure about higher since Ochus are dicks.

[evilpaul]

So how are skill ups now? I'm still d/ling 1,108 files and @54 minutes. :/

[Darkmagi]

I just did like 100 barspells on rdm and only got a .2.

[Jeryhn]

According to SMN skilling up by recasting and releasing avatars, it doesn't seem like much has changed.
One 0.2 in the 15 minutes the server's been up with skill about 40ish levels from cap.

Also some buggy shit's been happening with gear DATs. When I went out to Sauromugue, my SMN gear disappeared and it was replaced by melee gear including some kind of jerkin, a dagger and a chocobo wand (wearing Bahamut's staff). When I removed my staff strap, my normal gear reappeared, but my Hume had a different face, and I couldn't re-equip my staff strap even though my Bahamut's Staff was equipped.

Note that I don't run/use PlasticSurgeon, so it seems like an odd thing to be screwed up.

[Necronus]

I'm guessing a pile of people must have complained about no fixes for KC/HKC in the Feb Mini-Update

We’re currently looking into ways to utilize Kindred’s Crests and H. Kindred's Crests in the next major update. Want new battlefields?

Same thing was happening with me- taru became a blond hume male and I wasn't able to change gear.
