Why don't they carry a dust instead (for their 4th), or am I being whooshed?

[TSFFXI]

They'd still have to run to a Voidwatch Officer to trade the dust for a stone, wouldn't they?

[Shenrien]

Yeah.. they would.

[Tsuneo]

This was in the JP dev tracker: http://www.finalfantasyxi.jp/vanatv/. I'm not sure what it is exactly, but it looks like the JPs might be having a pvp event lol.

[Shenrien]

Watching the video at the bottom it looks like a "who can hit the hardest in two hits" or something type of deal.

also lol@ Sneak Attack, Mighty Strikes, Warrior's Charge Ukko's Fury doing 774 when the taru only had like... 35% HP left

[Draylo]

Ah those guys, they have like a youtube series of them progressing thru lowbie stuff.

[Churchill]

I liked that the brd used sleep instead of lullaby

[Ophannus]

Damage is tremendously reduced in Ballista to support balance between DDs, the more damage potential your hits/WS have, the more scaled the damage becomes. So weapon skills that already do like 400-600ish continue to do that much, but WS that exceed 1-1.5k typically get nerfed to do 700-900. Also the second hit of Fury probably didn't trigger since the taru drg died on the first hit.

Several years late, but I'll take it anyway:

Besieged Adjustments

I have some information on upcoming Besieged adjustments I’d like to announce.

The below adjustments are scheduled to take place during this month’s version update.

• Weakness timer will be reduced when K.O.ed during Besieged
• In the case that you are still K.O.ed when Besieged finishes, after receiving a Raise or being revived you will receive experience points for the battle. (If you return to your home point, you will not receive experience points)

We will be announcing the date for the version update quite soon, so stay tuned!

[Darkmagi]

Can't believe it took them this long to fix this, oh well better late than never?

[Yugl]

If they haven't added RR to Besieged yet, they should seriously consider doing so since the second point will become worthless without said RR.

[Slycer]

Do we really need to "stay tuned" for the date for the version update? The schedule was "late March," they always do the update on a Monday (I think a couple have been on Tuesday, but recently it's been Monday), and there's only one Monday left in March...

inb4 we are staying tuned to find out about a delay to mid-April.

I think with that they finally fixed all the minor bullshit of the shit list in my sig. *checks*
Nope, #1 still continues to annoy me regularly, and #2 = synergy as a whole.

Hopefully they also put in a countdown, since it can take 3-4 hours from the time they begin preparing to the time the fight actually happens. It's like their waiting on half the army to mule. Actually most of the minor gripes I had back then are still there, and that was 5 fucking years ago. Shit almost half the major grips are still there, with 7 of the 13 i still seeing having been addressed on the official forums of 'fuck you we don't care'.

[Tsuneo]

I don't know how I missed this JP post 8 days ago.

Hello. Answers to two issues particularly high degree of attention so far. Number of points in order to obtain are reflected in the current test server, needed during the promotion "something important", and item is the state of Cali. Although it is still under study, important things, is expected to be around 20,000 points. In addition, the important things of this time because it is positioned as "skills required to break through the 100", if the upper limit of 120, 130 and went up synthesis skills in the future, whenever that will need to have thought so far is no.

Yay for building points up for future uncaps in advance?

[Renzy]

So glad I rushed to get 100,000 GP in the past couple of weeks if it's only going to be 20,000, but yeah at least i'll be prepared for future uncaps

[Vathris]

Im glad cause im at 83K cooking GP and i was never gona make it to the update...
Also fuck cooking GPs

I am about 71k into cooking GP right now, I figured it would take about until about the middle to end of next week to get to 100k since the items have been especially douchey lately. Seriously, 3520 GP for an Adept (80-90) item. Fuck cooking GP.

[NynJa]

Cooking GP isnt bad compared to all the clothcraft shit I've had to skip:

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Mist_Slacks
Requires Smooth Velvet, which requires a really really fucking useless 40kGP KI to synth . Since most people dont have that KI, the only way to get the smooth velvet is from the AH, since its used for blu AF upgrades....at 140k a pop. However if you do have the KI, it only costs about 10k to synth. On top of that though, you need the Garish Slacks, which costs about 15k to make, and a 100 CC will likely HQ them pretty easily (unless they have the ring, or another crafting mule). And since you need 2.4...aka 3, even if you synth your own shit and own the 40kGP ki, you're still looking at 75k gil for 5920GP, 12.66 gil/point

todays item -Heko Obi:
Not available via NPC, which means you have to craft them all. Costs about 1500g to make, with 99/131GP per turn in, you'll wind up synthing about 17 factoring HQ, for 2080GP. 17 synths at 1500gil for 2080GP is 12.26 gil/point



Since I started rebuilding my cooks GP, yes, the GP/day sometimes is pretty shitty, but its also relatively cheap. To the best of my recollection, I have yet to see a cooking item that made me go "wow thats a fucking waste of gil", nor have I seen any items that are almost impossible to make.

[Apelila]

Cooking sucks balls because of the amount of work to get the ingredients vs the amount of points you get. 2 fucking hours of running around to get the ingredients from vendors should not net 1.2k points.

[Kaisha]

Just some crap on what values are actually sent to the FFXI client that didn't get posted from earlier this week. I don't blame anyone since the past week and a half was just meteor-filler shit.

Alrighty! Just got this fancy list to share with you showing what we can have displayed information-wise since it is already sent to the client. This way there is no need for guessing!

Circles denote information that is already displayed in some way shape or form on your client.

1. Party/Alliance Member Information
○ HP
○ MP
○ TP
○ HP %
○ MP %
× Mog House invitation flag
× Mog House area that you are invited to

2. Information that is only sent to yourself pt.1
○ Max HP
○ Max MP
○ Main job
○ Main job level
○ Support job
○ Support job level
○ Experience points
○ Experience points until the next level
○ STR
○ DEX
○ VIT
○ AGI
○ INT
○ MND
○ CHR
○ Main weapon attack power
○ Defense
○ Elemental resistances
○ Title
○ Mission rank
○ Rank points
○ Home point
○ Home nation

3. Information that is only sent to yourself pt.2
○ Ability recast time
○ Battle skills
○ Magic skills
○ Synthesis skills

4. Information that is only sent to yourself pt.3
○ Limit points
○ Merit points
× Assimilation
× Flags for having at least one level 75 job
○ Status of experience points (capped or not)
○ Mode selection (experience points/limit points)


For all of the above, without worrying about the display location or method, it is in fact possible to display this information. On the other hand, information besides what is listed here would be very difficult to display.

As stated in my last post, the development team will be looking into displaying information such as MP and TP for party/alliance members to coincide with the UI revamps.

If you have any other feedback regarding what you would like to see displayed, please refer to the above list when making suggestions.

I could really, really go for them fixing the TP-lost on using WS out of range thing. They mentioned looking into it months ago, and of course nothing. Probably at the bottom of the laundry list as far as chronological importance goes given they're *still* tweaking ToA-era content.
