March 27, 2012 (JST) Version Update

[Toth]

I hope the weaknesses changes are to all of VW, and not just the final chapter... but it seems to read that way.

I believe the developers said they will monitor how these changes go and then make the previous VWs match the system.

[NynJa]

Also, I agree that the wording makes it sound like these proc changes are only for the final chapter, and not the rest of it.

Check JP notes?

[Window-only updates]
An issue wherein autorun could not be disabled.
An issue wherein movement via the /follow command would occasionally be interrupted.

Reading.

My reading is fine but apparently your reading comprehension isn't.

I was hoping they would adjust BLU procing as part of their revised weakness triggering but I guess that was too much to ask for.

[Kaisha]

A shame the cat2 merit procs are still in there. Oh well, gives me hope they'll address BLU procs also. At least they weren't making us wait a full month to get the rest of Chapter4.

Abilities and spells learned via merit points will not trigger enemy weaknesses.

...I for one am actually a little saddened by the loss of meritable procs. With so many cleaved jobs I don't mind seeing at least a few specialty things here and there being needed. Its not like it was that bothersome was it? At least I never noticed it in runs I did.

For some people who afk cleaved to 99, even having stone II is considered specialty. Some people just get to 99 and get Thundaja/Thunder V, Blizzaja/Blizzard V, Warp II (but not Warp for some reason) and are good to go.

As an old-school Red Mage, I am not saddened by this in the least. It means that my RDM which is still merited for HNMs (Slow II, Paralyze II, Phalanx II) is viable for Provenance. Not that you need a RDM since enfeebles don't land on anything that matter, but if they did, it would be a viable job for it.

[Byrthnoth]

I will also enjoy being able to switch my merit points on SMN and BLM to two of the six options instead of spreading them around. It won't actually give much functional improvement, but I like being able to spend merits again. :D

I'm glad there was a note about those lamps, I thought my graphics card was going bad or something lol. They were like tractor beams!

But but but SE said they patched it to make all mobs enfeebleable! /rollseyes

[18:43:53](Cdgreg) darkness blm 1
[18:45:41]Cdgreg starts casting Blind II on Ocythoe.
[18:45:43]Cdgreg's attack devastates the fiend!
[18:45:43]Synchronic blitz commences!
[18:45:43]Assail the fiend with all your strength!

Either:
a.) Log mistake since blind II did not actually stick
b.) T2 Cat merits are only out of play for Providence
c.) Everyone knew this and I wasted my time posting this
d.) Spaghetti code
