Version Update (5/9/2011)

[Plow]

* Certain teleporters located in the Shrine of Ru'Avitau will now send players to a fixed location.

Fucking rofl.

Is there nothing about the "relieving congestion" stuff, or +2 items from visions etc., or am I crazy?


Also, if that's implying in order to augment abj gear you need to get another abj for each try... wow, rofl.

Holy .... kirin porter fixed? Finally?

Edit: DAMN beaten

[hey]

o The issue where sudden accumulations of a large quantity of experience points would sometimes reduce the actual amount of experience points earned.

No more 9 mob limit for exp!?!?

[Siatdiat]

* New Abyssea support NPCs have been added to the following areas:

o Gilburt, Ivan Port San d’Oria (I-8)
o Erich, Ernst Port Bastok (K-11)
o Jerrett, Kierron Heavens Tower, Windurst

Why did they put Windys in this out of the way shithole? Holy shitfuck.

* The effects of the following job abilities have been adjusted:

Divine Caress / Saboteur / Spur / Tenuto / Mana Cede / Efflux / Striking Flourish / Perpetuance / Immanence

Were any of these overpowered or is it more likely they have been increased? Usually adjusted means nerf though.

* The following job traits and attributes will see their maximum level of effectiveness adjusted by equipment, magic, and/or job abilities.

Critical Hit Rate / Critical Hit Damage / Beast Killer / Plantoid Killer / Vermin Killer / Lizard Killer / Bird Killer / Amorph Killer / Aquan Killer / Undead Killer / Arcana Killer / Demon Killer / Dragon Killer / Fast Cast / Kick Attacks / Skillchain Bonus / Conserve MP / Magic Burst Bonus / Snap Shot / Recycle / Ninja Tool Expertise

Possible crit nerf in Abyssea? We'll see soon I guess.... but same as above this talk of adjustment is usually bad news.

Ok... yeah cool lets spam Nidhoggs for some upgrades to adaberk? I do NOT want to feel inclined to fuck with that shit. Bad enough mine is a gimpsauce NQ adaberk anyway! KB only attempts for me so I can get a D ring and toss out my shittier aug dark ring.

Some good stuff here overall but some of this is worrisome and also disappointed about not improving atma inerface. Pain in the ass especially when you dual box.

[Darkmagi]

Worthless fucking update. All i wanted was atma list adjustment.

[S N K]

This isn't bad honestly. Tho truthfully it could have been way worse.

They already said the skills will only get increased, not lowered, so no, no nerf here.

[Toth]

Wtf, Burattinaios was the only good thing PUP had going for it.


Have to say though, hope that name font change is a start of a trend of PC/360-specific upgrades down the road. I need a scalable interface, HUD too fucking small at 1920x1200, been stuck using a lower resolution awhile now.

Boo indeed. The new wses must be very powerful though. Glad I am starting on the emp. weapon!

Chart shows them ending the same but slower build up to max power

[Kaisha]

9 mob limit?


I was thinking that fix was intended for stuff like MMM where it's possible to gain more than a level's worth from a chest, but it'll be capped at at 1tnl next lvl since the system does not allow you to ding twice from a single source.

1. Where did they say this?

2. What does that mean anyway? They have changed their minds before.

[Skie]

Maybe i missed it but they didnt list anything about increasing the possible merrits for one catagory?

[Foldypaws]

Uh, that chart is the xp lost on death chart by level, it doesn't have anything to do with job traits.

[Greatguardian]

Am I the only one absolutely rolling at the Burtgang PDT cap and Aegis MDT cap changes?

[Therin]

Yeah, they might've made Aegis decent again, assuming it raises the cap to at least -65% MDT.

[Gokulo]

1. Where did they say this?

2. What does that mean anyway? They have changed their minds before.

On the official forums, I have no fucking idea how to search them though, it was a post by one of admins in some random thread, that the players shouldn't worry, because they only plan to increase the strength.

[Apelila]

The new text command "/blockhelp" has been added.
This command allows players to toggle on and off the ability to bring up the "Call for Help" button in the command menu. The default setting for this command is on; logging out of the game will revert this setting to default.

There, now no one has an excuse.

[Foldypaws]

I dunno, I mean, they're "nice", if useless as long as your point is to make PLD relevant.

Still, if the Aegis bonus just flat doesn't count for the MDT cap, being able to hit -90 MDT would be kinda nifty.

*Pandamonium Warden readies 8x Astral Flow*, PLD takes it like a boss.

[Koyangi]

Emp. Weapon items stacking to 12 is awesome, don't know what you're talking about, lol.

[Gwynplaine]

Ahahaha. Repeating more grinding in Sky to upgrade Sky gear. How sisyphean in true MMO old school grind form. And you know what this means right? If you want to upgrade your Morrigan's Robe prepare to farm another Morri 35 or something.
