General Update Changes (May-09-11)

[Toth]

It's always hard to get super happy over anything yet until SE lists their 'known issues' statement. Till then, I am cautious about any awesome thing.... (remembers bitterly when they fixed automaton healing and then said, oops, not working as intended...)

[Draylo]

Dunno, brought it off AH

Really paid 1m for that? its like 100% drop rate.

[urat]

Adventuring fellow seems to be at about 100 mobs at "capped" (might not be capped anymore) bond.

[Lyramion]

Don´t log out in Port Jeuno. It´s old Whitegate again (At leats on bahamut). Don´t log out there. just had like 5x timeout trying to log in, being stuck at "Downloading" Screen.

[Masenko]

I just had the same problem on Carbamesh, except I got locked up just exiting my moghouse, then finally got logged back in on my fourth try. Good thing they relieved port jeuno congestion by adding 400 more afk people at the mog house.

Hey this is pretty cool.

Incoming emergency maintenance to recap combat merits at 8, calling it now. And everyone who put merits into a category past the cap will QQ about lost merits when SE doesn't reimburse them after the maintenance.

[Draylo]

It's only working with H2h merits and SE already released statement saying they are aware and to not put points in because they won't reimburse...

I had this same problem on Asura over the weekend. FFXI locked up on the Downloading Data screen every time I warped back to Port Jeuno.

I think new people transfer to Asura daily just to AFK at Joachim or the AH. They multiply like rabbits. At one point this past Saturday, 750+ people were in Port Jeuno, and /sea area consistently returned 700+ people every time I was in-zone and remembered to check.

Your sig is awesome. I just spent a good 5 minutes cracking up at that.

I also had the same problem on my alt after the update, thought something was messed up then saw all the 'port jeuno sucks' posts. I'd change back to bastok but there's no point. If I need to get into storage i can abyssea atleep and flee back to the city. If they made the shout channel in all ports the same, and fixed the windy NPC's that would get people outta port j. But that wont happen, lolPS2.

Stacked on top of the THFs treasure hunter which currently was at 5. So you can use RNG to attempt to boost the TH by one level.

[Sho]

Went to kill it just because of the amount of time I spent a few years ago trying to find it D:

Shoutout to Draggy getting those hidden revenge kills.

Also can confirm the Magian trial is bugged when trading seals to the box.

[aduidarnenye]

If no one had posted, I merited my MP. The level 9 was 5 merits. Level 10 was 7 merits. Level 11 will be 7 merits (I didn't have enough merits).

[Apelila]

the basement of crawlers nest is a death trap now. Where the exorays used to start? VT crawlers @ 90. About to go back and try and find the coffer mobs, but all the old camps 37+ are gone.

Means the easy escort quest is no longer the easy one. (Edit, yes it is, the other way is still old mobs)

They moved scorpions and knight crawlers to where you spawn Awd thingy, and moved the helm beetles back to the old scorpion/crawler rooms.

[Nishida]

As of May 10, 2011, we have confirmed the following issue. Investigation and recovery work is currently underway. We ask for your patience in this matter until the issues have been resolved.

[Issue details]

- Under certain conditions, items may be mistakenly delivered to characters.

* While the matter is being investigated, we will temporarily suspend the delivery service. The delivery service as well as the mailbox functions are currently unavailable.

We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Does this mean people are sending things that shouldn't be allowed to be sent, or that people are getting things in their delivery box that aren't theirs? Either way LOL.

[Limlight]

damn there goes 100% crit damage+

back to 50 we go /sigh

[Dimmauk]

I can confirm the armor moogle is acting weird. I had to trade seals and the armor to the chest before it would say that i completed the quest.

[Darkmagi]

How do you assume that? The issue details were related to the delivery system...

Ninja fixing does exist after all. That or they randomly add in as many fixes as they can.

[Kychuli]

is it just me or did they change how vnms spawn? cant see em on radar any more and they dont seem to leave footprints (maybe radars are broken but ive tried like 4) inb4 cheating, noone cares.

[grevenilvec75]

64 ruby from WS killing an Ephemeral in Konsch. 32 ruby, 1 ebon from Raskovnik. 15 pearl, 1 ebon from t1 VNM. It seems all NMs give +1 Ebon regardless of kill type, and azure/amber/ruby moves in units of 8, pearl moves in units of 5.

I got 4 azure from nuking puddings in konschtat, Might be a difference in our abyssites? Also red chest with intense azure light gave +32 azure, but one with minor azure light only gave 16. The two pearl kills i did both gave 5 (could be an abyssite thing).

Lights cap at 255 (at least azure did). Azure isnt 100% any more, I'd eyeball it at about 33-50%.
