It's true (I think), but not actually a nerf. High-end PCs (or really just any PCs these days) play the fishing minigame animation too fast and it's difficult to win unless you do things to slow down your computer.

I know, I have an Ebisu, and in this rare case, am unfortunately a member of the master PC race. I'm just saying nothing about that change is a nerf unless people give a shit about the graphics in their realistic fantasy fishing simulator.

Are they really not taking away the collision thing now? This is the first I've heard of it not happening.

Greetings!

As you all have most likely seen already, we just announced the next version update today. Since the collision adjustments will largely affect how game play feels, we would like to gather more feedback and perform more testing on the test server. As a result, we have decided not to implement the new collision feature during the upcoming version update. (However, the countermeasures so that players are not stacked on top of each other when teleporting to a floor in Nyzul Isle assault will be implemented.)

We would like to get a wide range of feedback and viewpoints on the matter of collision since there is no right or wrong answer. The way people feel about this are quite different. Some players feel that collision should remain, while others feel it should be removed. As such, we would like to see how players feel about this by modifying certain aspects of it during the next test server update. Please stay tuned!

Fishing adjustments which are actually animation nerfs which are actually beneficial towards players.

I got an Ebisu and Fishing 100 completely legit, so I know it is possible. However, it totally burnt me out and I stopped fishing shortly afterwards.

Who the hell would be upset if collision detection was removed and wants it to remain? For what purpose does this serve?

I don't understand. Is the fishing thing a nerf to you or not? I don't know how it'd interact with bots but I can't imagine it'd change much.

Useless/worthless/whatever, sure--but calling it a nerf when it benefits the 3% of the Fishing population who doesn't bot makes no sense to me.

I mean, yeah, Fishing Adjustments have historically been the whipping boy of update notes (who remembers update which consisting of pretty much nothing but Fish Ranking?) but at least call it out for being worthless, not for being something it isn't!

Alternatively snarky tl;dr
Implying because something doesn't benefit you personally it's a nerf

It's not a nerf to me. But it is a nerf to the 97% of fishbots... probably. Not entirely sure, and yes I am assuming. But I imagine slight alterations would have to be made to the bots to sync properly with the new FPS cap. In that sense it is a nerf attempt by SE, although probably an unsuccessful one. 3% of the playerbase benefits according to you... so the minority benefits, while the majority may or may not be slightly/temporarily hindered. Still a nerf since it seems to affect the majority rather than the minority, whether intended or not.

[Septimus]

Lol, this banner is awesome. Lets see:
1. Fishing adjustments that are actually nerfs - forced lowering of the FPS to 15
2. Removal of collision detection for stationary PCs - actually not being implemented anymore according to latest news
3. Prism Staff - basically an inventory saver only since it's inferior to the magian staves, yay! (I'll still get it though just coz a few more inv. is better than nothing, but seriously lol at this banner totally failing to hype up the update)

Why do I have to explain this every day?

Unless you have all 8 damage staves and all 8 magic accuracy staves, you are still going to need to keep at least some of the level 51 staves on you for the Magian staves that you do not have. (And that is not counting how pants-on-head stupid magic accuracy is right now meaning it probably isn't even worth making the magian M.Acc staves in the first place.) Not to mention that two jobs that can get a lot of use out of elemental staves (BLU and COR) are not on the magian staves.

That's not a nerf, that's called the bot being broken (for probably ten fucking minutes) because of a change SE made. Nerf would be if the output or profits get reduced, and this wouldn't cause that.

Now go to your corner before we start throwing Nerf footballs, frozen, after they're soaked in water for a few hours. Maybe it'll break something so then you'll realize it's not nerf anymore.

Thread: Storage Woes Suggestion: FAT CHOCOBO!

Happy Watersday! (IRL)

I interviewed a few chocobos about holding our gear for us and they stated:

Wark!?

I'm guessing they're not quite ready yet...

That's okay chocobos... For those of you juggling your equipment, weapons, and items, development gave us a nice bit of inventory information!

This may take a bit of time but they are proactively checking to see if it's technnically possible to have additional inventory space as well as expanding the Mog Sack's maximum capacity. http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/im...lies/smile.png

As some of you may have heard, we will first be making adjustments so that it will be possible to access your Mog Storage from places other than your home nation.
We'll be sure to keep you updated as we progress!

Now this is interesting, increasing the Mog Sack storage capacity. So they can get around the 160 displayed item limitation or did they lie about that limitation in the first place?

[Chamaan]

They announced at vanafest or something that they changed the way some of the values are stored. Specifically, the cap on how many tied JA timers you could have. One of those things that kind of got swept away in the whole "For realreals expansion, ya'll" deal. They might've fiddled with storage while they were in there, which'd just be wonderful.

[Yugl]

They announced storage changes for the Dec update, so I assume the fix they're discussing will take place during the release of SOA.

[Selamis]

If they increase mog sack storage, that would also be doubling up on main gobbie bag right? Since I recall the sack matching whatever your current gobbie bag was at for the max limit when it was purchased. Increased inventory or another storage feature would be super welcome though, especially for the new jobs once they are added and people start trying to min/max those as well.

Gotta have room for all those bells mang

[Tarage]

I would be okay with Fat Chocobo, especially if it was SMN only. "You want more inventory, bring a SMN!"

Are you retarded? Fish botting is botting, if SE somehow made it so that fish botting was impossible, that wouldn't be a fucking nerf. Are you one of those people who thought salvage duping was a legitimate thing to od?

And they didn't do that anyway, they made it easier for people who actually enjoy fishing. (Although their method of implementation leaves something to be desired)

[DragonCloud64]

And I imagine people who like ballista could get some use out of a prism staff as well. Sadly barely anyone does it nowadays...

[NynJa]

At the expense of sounding like a fuckhead asshole
People who oodle over ballista should go play a real PvP game. Penalizing gearswaps in a game based entirely on gearswaps is lame as shit.

This is really my biggest problem with Ballista. Who thought that was a good idea?
