  Eagle Eye Shot / Shadowbind / Bounty Shot / Quick Draw

[dev1118] Legion Adjustments

• Hit points of enemies in 18-player Legion battlefields have been reduced to roughly half that of their 36-player counterparts.

[dev1117] Job Adjustments: Ranger

  • Enmity incurred by ranged attacks made with this ability has been lowered to the minimum possible value.
  
  

[dev1116] Guild Merchant Waiting Period

• The waiting period between purchases made from guild merchant NPCs has been shortened.

[dev1115] Key Item Category Revisions

• A new category for Voidwatch key items has been added to the key item menu. All VW key items curently located under "Temporary Key Items" have been moved to this new category.
  *This change will not be reflected in the English version until the following test server update.

That ranged WS adjustment is unexpected, but I think everyone would agree that the reaction to that is "finally." Screw all that lost TP from mobs running around/out of range of WSes (and having to run into range of some AoEs just to WS). The rest are pretty lulz or we already knew about them. I saw that Legion Adjustments title on the POL main page and I was like heyyyy please have something good, and I was greeted by that one-liner that we already knew. I wonder why they randomly decided to mess with EES enmity, though.

My reaction is "meh". I suppose it is awesome for magical weaponskills, but as long as the distance penalty is applicable shit will suck. Would have preferred an adjustment where they take away JA delay from each shot or something to boost the damage like having dead aim/double shot work on WS.

EES will always be meh. Slugwinders did higher damage than our 2hr. Best use for a RNG's 2hr? Switch to COR and wildcard.

At least for Voidwatch, assuming they change it so that you can fire a weapon skill from within normal ranged attack range, it'll allow you to stay out of AoEs while trying to proc. Yeah, you can be smart and time it between TP moves and stuff, but plenty of those mobs have instant cast/short-cast spells too. And honestly, that was always frustrating because you actually have motivation to hit a WS on a TP move if possible to get bonus lights/duration/temps.

I see EES now grants emnity in proportion to it's damage

[ronin sparthos]

So is the test server back up?

[Celebrindor]

So....stay in a 10-12' range for sweet spot to pewpew, then run out of said sweet spot to fire off a less damaging weaponskill. rockin. How about moving the sweetspot out to a reasonable "ranged" distance?

Oh and for enmity generation on EES, I do love the comment above about matching enmity generation with damage ^^. How about we just make it so EES doesn't miss? That would be a great first step.

Good news everyone!

Thread: Poll: Suggest Music for the Legion Jukebox!

Hello everyone!

Director Mizuki Ito is requesting your feedback for what BGM should be in Legion's jukebox!

Greetings, everyone! This is Mizuki Ito, the director of FFXI!

As we have mentioned before, we are working on the jukebox feature for Legion, where players can choose their favorite BGM.

As part of it, we would like to have your feedback on what kind of BGM would like to be included.

• Deadline is by the end of Apr. 23rd (JST)
• Please let us know the name of the BGM, or the scene where it get played. (Ex: BGM from Shadow Lord battlefield)
• Please press "Like!" if you happen to find your choice among the posts other players have made.
• The BGM included in expansion packs cannot be played if the expansion packs are not installed.
  (In that case, the default BGM will be played instead.)

Based on the feedback we receive, we are planning to pick 8 choices for inclusion as Legion BGM.

Looking forward to hearing some good choices!

Please reply to this thread with your requests and don't forget to "Like" the BGM choices that you want! http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/im...lies/smile.png

If only there was a song called "Stop adding in stupid shit and make this event not fucking stupid".

[Slycer]

Surely Christmas music would be appropriate because the quality and frequency of drops in Legion reminds me of presents under the tree on Christmas morning. Amirite?

Seriously, though, what the fuck.

Hurray for cut&pasting code from MMM and making it look like it actually requires them to make an effort to implement. Can't wait to troll by choosing something annoying right before the lead sends everyone in.

If only we could use the chocobo music from FFXIII-2...

Recently, we have confirmed an issue wherein players in Grauberg (S) will leave their summoned avatars out while they’re AFK and let the avatars attack monsters by using the auto-counter attack system. Also, we have confirmed that these players have gained experience points and items through this act.

Not only does this act upset the game balance, it may interrupt the game play of other players. Any players caught performing the act by a Game Master (GM) may see disciplinary action taken against their accounts. Therefore, we ask that you please refrain yourself from performing this act.

Please be advised that a GM may request assistance from you if they determine that your actions may be causing a disruption in the game balance. If you received instructions from a GM, we ask that you follow them immediately. If you do not follow the instructions, as stated previously, the GM will take action against your account.

If you encounter a player performing this act, please do not hesitate to report them to the Special Task Force via the URL listed below. The Special Task Force and the GMs will work together to investigate the matter accordingly.

Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this matter.

What in the flying fuck? Since when is auto-attack game breaking?

[Churchill]

That's really no different than afk'ing fortifications or anything really.

SE: We ban you for logging in.

[6souls]

According to the ffxiah thread, people are "abusing" this feature to farm breeze geodes & garudites off of chigoes. Just seems like terrible wording, or rather lack of wording, on SE's part.

[Yugl]

Time to report every SMN I see using their pets.

[NynJa]

Ill do it in caedarva instead then

[Julian]

What? But... This is how SE designed it, this is intentional behavior! The avatars are supposed to attack monsters that pose a danger to them, and attack their masters! Even though people have complained for a really long time that pets sometimes just do whatever the fuck they want, SE has refused to change it since it's intentional behavior!

<rolleyes>

[Lordender]
