General Update Changes (May-09-11)

[tenkiki]

Anyone tried Pulling the Strings with PUP to see which attachments they've added there?

Tried it, only got equalizer, but the fight was pathetically easy with 1 +2 oil and valoredge doing most of the work.

[Apelila]

Something is fucked up with acc. Im helping some random noob out with his damselfly worm and Im parsing about 50% acc on these valkurm flies. What in the fuck?

I witnessed this too but I don't have #'s. Farming coffer keys I was whiffing much more than usual. I'll actually parse tonight.

SE ninja nerfed merits too...


I went to raise my hand to hand skill last night and was only able to go from 0~6 because apparently they decided to change the amount of points needed. It now takes a maximum of 5 points per upgrade instead of 3 like it used to.

Not the end of the world but FFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU all the same, I was hoping to max H2H in 1 trip.

Hand-to-hand merits were bugged to start with being able to go past the cap of 8 so I wouldnt be surprised if that was a glitch as well.

Nope, it's still 1 > 2 > 3 > 3 > 3 > 3 > 3 > 3 for combat and magic skills. I took dagger from 4 to 8 this morning with 12 points and put 5 points into critical hit rate, leaving me with 3 points. HP/MP and Other merits are a 1 point increase per level, and stats are 3 additional points per level.

[Koyangi]

I just increased my dagger from level 4 to level 5 for 3 merits before this maint. started, maybe just h2h is fucked up?

[Deader2818]

And before you ask, no SE will not give you your merits back, sorry.

Sticking high level mobs in the middle of low to mid level zones is a really stupid (and ffxiv-esque) idea... If I'm pissing about trying to get AF for a job I don't want to have to be avoiding stupid level mobs. And wiping out camps in the process is lame, what if abyssea explodes and people have to go back to normal partying?!

Guess I'll give it a try later. Thanks for the info.

I also tried it; got Attuner as my reward. Nothing new or special. Beat it using Soulsoother and just straight tanking it

EDIT: If they did add any of the Ashu-Talif Assault attachments to the ENM, you would have a 1/13-15 chance of getting it. With a 5-earth day cool-down on ENM's, it could take you months of ENM's to get it. Well done Square, the PUP community appreciates making us grind through lv.60 old ENM's lol

About the windy NPC, from OF:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...ll=1#post95085

In regards to comments about the placement of the Abyssea NPCs in Heaven’s Tower, Windurst, the development team is aware of what you are all pointing out. The development team tried placing them in each area of Windurst, however, there were memory issues in Windurst Woods, Windurst Waters, and Port Windurst which would not allow the ability to confirm Bastion conditions. Due to this, they placed the NPCs in Heaven’s Tower.

As pointed out, there is a difference in convenience when compared to San d’Oria and Bastok, and though it might take some time, we will be looking for other methods to solve this issue.

We've been there, done that lol. Back then the 60 ENM was alot harder too (weaker WSes, no soothsayer, weaker equipment)

why not just do those fights at 90...?

[Foldypaws]

why not just do those fights at 90...?

I don't know, why don't people do Under Observation at 90?

[Karbuncle]

why not just do those fights at 90...?

If you're talking about Targeting the Captain?

I agree, They're easy as heck. I formed a static to do them. ;o

If you're talking about ENM60 >___>

[NynJa]

Has anyone tried cleaving in Scars/Heroes areas and seeing if new KI's show up in boxes?

[Arthars]

still the same KI for hero zones

been cleaving 6 hours for 60 merit points so that should confirm they dont

[Mafai]

I was doing AF for my mule pre-maint... oh yeah thinks I, just bang out GC coffer post-maint cos that one's always a joke isn't it? They'll never be such bastards as to stick the mobs ON the beaten track.

Yeaaaaaaahhhh

[Alkar]

Targeting the Captain is easy, getting 2 people out there to help you out is a totally different thing. Wish they'd just remove the 3 member requirement or move the attachments elsewhere.
At least them being in ENM60 would be a plus. They've probably added the new ones there though.
