Yeah... still pisses me off we never figured out the actual way to kill that whore, and it wouldn't surprise me if we never found out.

[Darkmagi]

Probably some terrible cryptic way to weaken meteor. At 75 there was really no way to realistically survive bracelets and or manafont meteor, consistently anyways.

[Fievel]

We survived meteor all the time, got him down <40% on multiple occasion without much death. but just couldn't do enough damage before he depopped, that 2 hour timer really was the biggest bullshit.

We did have a shit ton of people though. We had a fuckton of smn/bst with pets out to "absorb" Meteor damage(I was in a JP run LS so I didn't have that part of the strategy spelled out for me very clearly, I always assumed it was like 1000 needles)

Honestly AV would do meteor over and over and we'd have zero deaths.

Multiple Aegis pld's tanking AV at a time, and literally an army of black mages and relic rangers blasting away at it. Still wasn't enough damage.

if having more pets in to get hit by meteor helped, it probably works like a ga spell (surprise surprise SE gets lazy and re-uses code!) and iirc, enough targets in range and a ga spell will get as low as 30some% of the damage it would do to a single target. don't quote me on that number though.

Yeah, that makes more sense.

[Dotsudoku]

Pretty sure -aga distribution becomes static after 10 targets.

[Damane]

i wonder if you still "only" need 300 barpoints in one particular elemental to fully resist spells/moves (at least on the T3 Avatars in Abyssea Altepa etc it worked). As it looks now my whm can give 170+ barspell ¬.¬. I know noone fights mobs like that anymore, but the more they increase the lvl cap the more my barspells can go up. That might maybe explain why they are adding to every mob Death or Meteor or Comet, other some other bullshit magic spell that doesnt have any barspell that could cover it.

I really miss the days of Resist Builds, bar spells, ele songs, ES elegy rotations, RDM for slow/2, and blink tanking.

dont know. i still enjoy the laughs i get when i see a RDM say "have one of the WHM cast slow, I cant get it to land" or "i need the WHMs to dispel the mob, i can't land it"

Wait, what's a RDM?

[Snprphnx]

you know... the people who are always QQing over not having Cure V, and how they can't cure like a whm or sch, and cant nuke like a blm or sch. then get yelled at for pulling a sword out and feeding TP

[Kaisha]

Wait, what's a RDM?

A miserable little pile of resists.

Just gimmy a bloody Dispel 2 and let me land enfeebs on shit with my nearly 500 enfeebling magic without relying on Elemental Seal. Or better yet, make Saboteur have a large m.acc boost on it.

Wait, now I remember what a RDM is. That explains all of that dusty red armor in my mog house!

It does annoy me seeing RDMs clamoring for Cure V and other RDMs who want to be real melees instead of sensible improvements to enfeebling and enhancing which are supposed to be the purpose of the job.

Good news everyone!

Here is some information and feedback on fishing I’d like to pass along.

First, in regards to the fishing system itself, we are currently looking into a few things so please give us a bit more time.

As a broad direction, we are thinking of changing it so instead of continuously pressing the arrow keys, you will only need to press it once, as well as adjustments that go along with this (for example, stats on a variety of items, etc.). Through this, it won’t be possible to have the same exact advantages/disadvantages for lag between clients, but we are trying to narrow the gap.

However, we need to totally change the program and our highest priority is to solve the freezing problem, so this change will not take place right away.

I realize that this is an important topic and we appreciate your understanding.

Here are some replies to questions and feedback we have been seeing:

Can you make Noddy Ring and Puffin Ring into earrings? This way we can equip Seagull Ring and Heron Ring at the same to boost our fishing even further?

From a system standpoint, if we were to change the equipment slot on an existing item, strange things could possibly occur, so it might be better to create different items with similar stats.

We will need to look into whether or not we can actually implement this, but I believe there is a possibility.

Could you remove the level cap on the pirate’s chart quest?

If we were to remove the level cap on the pirate’s chart quest, the whole point of the battle would be lost. If we were to do something, I think it would be better to revamp the quest. (As an alternate example, it’s the same thinking as ENMs).

I think it would be interesting to be able to add augments to Ebisu and Lu Shang’s Fishing Rod.

We would probably be able to do something along the lines that if the rod breaks the effect will be lost. This is something we’d like to look into further.

Instead of the Magian Moogles, for enhancing Ebisu and Lu Shang’s fishing rod, could the quests be from the old man in Rabao or the two brothers in San d’Oria?

Only if you are willing to take on the challenges that only these legendary masters can do!

[Karbuncle]

Was kinda hoping they'd remove the Fish-Per-Day-Cap limitation that cause me to not bother trying to get my fishing to 100, as the servers would likely shut down before i finished.

[Kaisha]

Only if you are willing to take on the challenges that only these legendary masters can do!

It's not like 90% of the fishing playerbase would just bot anything they're asked to do anyways.

[barber2006]

In theory they could do a MMM style of magian upgrade for ebisu. Beat the brothers 100x or make something new altogether. But 99.9% its just turning in more fish to zaldon.

[Septimus]

Missed this one yesterday:

Sorry for the super-late reply on this one but I checked in with the dev. team regarding this for you. They haven’t solidified any specific adjustment plans as of yet, but they are looking into the problem of how it is difficult to read.

From today

About Warrior

As we haven’t seen any major concerns regarding the forthcoming warrior adjustment, we plan on implementing what is currently being tested on the Test Server in the version update.

We’ll monitor the adjustment post-level 99 cap increase and look into whether further adjustments are necessary. As always, please let us know if you have any feedback.

About Summoner

We are currently looking into enhancing elemental spirits.

However, rather than simply adjusting their behavior, we feel that everyone might enjoy things a bit more if we were to do something different, so we feel this is a bit low on the priority scale. However, if you feel differently please let us know!

No! Don't validate Mala's crusade for elemental spirits! No one besides him gives a fuck about them.

In b4 fucking melee SMN. I swear to god I will kill someone if that happens.

[Byrthnoth]

The curse of RDM. You guys are going to get Summoner-only Buff BPs.
