Was wishful thinking expecting a fix to Ochain and Aegis Shield Bash damage.

[Byrthnoth]

Shield Bash damage doesn't affect the enmity those JAs create, so it's essentially meaningless anyway.

[Gokulo]

But the damage was not bad before, no? Extra dmg is never bad.

[Avarice]

Fixing of Divine Emblem Aeolian Edge wasn't entirely unexpected; oh well.

[Cairthenn]

Fixing of Divine Emblem Aeolian Edge wasn't entirely unexpected; oh well.

I had a sad.

[Jem]

Yeah, it's not a huge deal really but still something I thought they would have fixed by now. I mean Aegis Shield Bash damage actually decreased. Ochain damage stayed the same so could possibly be working as intended but I expect they just forgot about it due to being a different shield size.

It's just one of those things really. They fix Divine Emblem being better than intended asap but have left Ochain/Aegis Shield Bash 'broken' since last update. Doesn't change anything but would be nice if they actually addressed it.

Fuck you SE

- An issue wherein experience points and Allied Notes are doubled for campaign battles under certain circumstances.

So does this mean that 8k rewards for xp on a single fight weren't working as planned?

I'll be sad if that's true

[Kaisha]

So does this mean that 8k rewards for xp on a single fight weren't working as planned?

Long as they didn't fuck with the IS/AN reward as a consequence of the 'bugged' XP reward, as that's all I do Besieged/Campaign for.

- An issue wherein the screen goes dark when an Automaton’s Barrage is used on a monster that absorbs physical damage.

Anyone actually experience this? Sounds like a cool glitch. ;/

[Churchill]

I really hope they don't think being able to get 10k xp in the 2-3 hours it takes you to find a good campaign battle/and then execute it is broken.

I was actually getting my ranks done because of the last patch.

[DNAval]

can anyone point me to the steps needed to take to change my pol acc to SE account?

[Gwynplaine]

They are going to be making a formal post about it tomorrow (well technically today) later on the 27th.

Damage dealers don't help the PLD's enmity either. Are they meaningless as well? (Cept maybe thf..lol)
