>.> Hey Urat, did you use photoshop to edit out the borders on those item jpgs?

[Darkmagi]

No one wants to see a fucking picture of Carabosse gems/CC lanterns/Isgebind hearts in your sig.

[Skeelo]

Just type out "Carabosse Gem" in your sig and it auto does it for you

[Fievel]

Chloris & Glavoid probably aren't too bad since they each take 5 KI that are all goldbox anyway.

They take 4 dumbass

When is the lvl increase to 95 update?

When is the lvl increase to 95 update?

August

Holy shit. All the fail fades away. If the ??? is for spawning nms and atma selection is until favorites are made this is fuckin awesome.

And the yet unmentioned:
o Adjusting the location of new Abyssea support NPCs that have been added to San d’Oria / Bastok / Windurst.
The problem with setting your HP in home town is that you couldn't get instant warps and use the AH in same zones so Port Jeuno remained superior.

Assuming they make that possible along with the other things, this update is 100x more awesome than the one 2 days ago.

Tail Whip did 920.
Edit: Second Tail Whip did 1,250
Edit2: Second Crescent did 1,700

The world is ending. How horrible. Now I see why they want to nerf it.

Oh. Fucking. Wait...

Anyway.

Third Crescent Fang just did 2,200. For like, 19MP. Yah.

I can see Why they'd return it to normal, Even though its fun.

I'm on the fence regarding where congestion is. After spending 3 hours fighting over a single ??? to pop carabosse today, whose components are force pop, I'm not so sure that making Guku/Amun/etc force pop will actually RELIEVE congestion where it counts. It'll just change from Gukumatz's Aery to Sobek's aery, fighting over a single ???.

They could do both?!

Oh and:

Thanks, i didnt see that part. I can't tell if it's good or bad that we are having 3 "version updates" in 10ish days, plus an emrgency maint after 1(and probably the other 2). I mean its good theyre trying to fix things so soon, but also couldnt have just done it at once?

[Malacite]

Where's my atma preset and ??? placement?!

Fucking this.

Thanks for the cocktease SE, you fucking assholes. Giving us false hope that you might be doing something about the ridiculous overcrowding of Empyrean NMs atm. But no, shoulda known better.


EDIT: So it's coming next week? Bleh, better than not at all I suppose but I really want to get my Masa finished today, provided I don't get cockblocked again. Shoulda had it last night.

[Gippo]

wow rage

[Greatguardian]

Be glad they updated the NMs to drop +2 items? It seems to have done wonders for your progress.

Though, to everyone else on the server it just increased congestion. Better remove those +2 items to decrease congestion at the NMs, guys. Result: 40/50 Carabosse Gems 4 lyfe.

[Esvedium]

Malacite is getting close to finishing Cara! Quick, put all +2 items on Mangy-tailed Marvin! -SE
