Feb. 14, 2012 (JST) Version Update

[Eduardo]

Ive been noticing lower than usual ruinators myself as bst in dynamis....hopefully its just me

[Lucavi]

It's not too late to pay them and play FFXI!

Just stop. If it takes a company 8 years to apply common sense to their game (and only to a small portion of it), they are not a company for me.

[Sumy]

Still takes a week to get NQ Relic Upgraded to +1

...and why is no one compalining about 1500 Heavy Metal Plates!? All this pissing and moaning about ADL and PW as if your all done with 1500 HMP. Been a week and a half since I've seen a Zilart VWNM shout on Fenrir. About to give up.

People bitched months ago, but SE didn't budge.

I'm kind of disappointed they're going to change the Spirit perp cost merit.

IMO they should make it both Spirit Perp cost and reduced recast time for summoning rather than removing the former and replacing it with the latter.

If I were still playing, I'd bust out Light Spirit 24/7 and watch it Curaga IV other parties in the alliance all day long.

(One thing Light Spirit can do other jobs can't - AoE cure the other party in the alliance.)

Of course I'm not even sure how useful that is nowadays but still, it was useful at times especially during the old days of big alliance parties.

SCH says hi?

[Shadowstalker]

No enfeebling update?

I haven't been able to so much as even look at my computer for the last week.

[transmit]

from what i'm seeing, stardiver has been nerfed ftp-wise because before with quint i would CRUSH my namas, and now even on pathetic targets (where i'm obviously capping attack) it's literally right on-par, if not worse than 95 namas

Can anyone confirm this? If so whats the new FTP... Give with one, take away with the other.

[Jem]

Slightly worried about Resolution now. If Stardiver got ninja nerfed then Resolution would also be a decent candidate to be nerfed.

[Byrthnoth]

They are having an emergency maintenance today from 9 to 10:30 PST.

fuck you SE, worth birthday update ever

after a few more hours of messing with it (salvage and assaults particularly), it's weird because i was getting "predictable" numbers in my opinion on ashu talif crew (guard accounted from mnks etc), but then anything with a piercing bonus, it literally felt as if i wasn't getting one practically (whereas sonic thrust did the usual numbers for draca cleaving gears)

i mean hell, i'd prefer to be wrong since stardiver has been my favorite weapon skill the last little while (paired with quint), but something has certainly felt off, and after using it thousands upon thousands of times already in the same gear since its release, i can't help but feel it's not what it used to be

edit: got my initial impression on it being gimped inside dynamis qufim on dc raptors/stirges, if anyone's curious

Did a quick test and had Byrthnoth work out the FTP for me. No changes. Test showed 0.743 ftp, which is right in line with what it was. So unless they nerfed it some other way...

They could have put an attack penalty on it >_>

Or nerfed gorget/belt etc. working on later hits.

[Churchill]

I can go reso something, just give me 2 good targets for it (high/low pdif)

[Seshat]

Perhaps its just me, but after the update we went to Dyna Jeuno (which without a thf we typically pull 150-200 coins) and only managed to snag about 80, killing the same mobs at relatively the same speed. However, forgotten items were dropping like candy. Feels like a ninja nerf to me.

[Khajit]

I pulled in 140coins just now so might be just you but i got triple drops on some ep mobs and i don't think they're supposed to do that unless they're DC so SE probably accidentally rewired the coding on drop rates.

[Greatguardian]

I fought Fafnir today and it dropped Ridill 1/1, maybe they ninja increased the drop rate?

[Divinius]

I didn't see this specifically mentioned in either the update notes or yet in this thread (though I could be blind, forgive me if so)...

One of the other graphical updates was the on-screen damage numbers (not in the log -- the actual pop-up numbers near your characters/mobs, which not many people ever even turn on) have had their fonts changed. They are now FREAKIN HUGE! I'd post a screenshot if I wasn't at work.

Personally, I love the new gigantic font, but everyone else I've pointed it out too seems to hate it.

EDIT:
Nevermind, Spira mentioned it in the Dev Tracker thread.

I still think it's awesome.
