Apparently you don't need an active account to post on the official forums, lol.

Only just to log on. If your cookie expires or you try to check your profile on the forums you're out of luck.

Someone has to post it on the JP forums to get the most attention.

Aren't you German? If so, is there a German bug forum that you could maybe post in instead to get the issue across to as many reps as possible?

[Foldypaws]

No ones going to want to mine in that area after that patch hits (not that anyone cares about HELM really)...but in typical SE fashion they forget that upping the rate of one thing has the adverse effect of lowering the rate on everything else.

No it doesn't. You don't get an item 100% of the time, so they can raise the Marble Nugget rate without lowering any other rate. (Whether they *did* this or not, I don't know. But it's not necessary.)

I can do that yes, will do it tomorrow (or rather today after I got some sleep, brains too sleepy to translate everythign into german)

[grevenilvec75]

LOL they merged them all into 1 post.

Don't you mean to get any attention lol?

And then they linked all your previous ones from the last year + and said yeah we are looking into it wink wink

[Prothescar]

im willing to bet that they dont even translate these over.

[Jem]

I think the only thing we could do now is kick up a fuss in a normal topic for a response rather than a bug topic but I think they would just ignore it

[Prothescar]

that and getting one on the JP side would be our best chances, if anyone decides to.

[Khamsin]

No it doesn't. You don't get an item 100% of the time, so they can raise the Marble Nugget rate without lowering any other rate. (Whether they *did* this or not, I don't know. But it's not necessary.)

You also can't get more than one item at once. I think he's assuming that there's an X% chance to obtain an item (versus nothing), and that when you do get an item, each item has a percentage chance of coming up that adds up to 100%.

usually the german gets answers and gets translate, just woke up, will get some breakfast and translate it

This
If theres a distribution method of the items (if its deemed to obtain one) where 5% is matamata shell, 5% midium ore, 10% marble nugget, 20% iron sand, 20% sulfur, 40% flint stone, bumping marble nuggets to 40% means that everything else has to give up a collective 30%.

[Damane]

German Translation done and up:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...415#post419415

it would be nice if some German players here would agree to it and post in that Topic.

Mind you it needs 2-3 weeks mostly until we get an answer from the Dev-team. (Translating forth and back)

[Obsidian]

Ich spreche nicht Deutche (is that even right?) but I like'd the post anyway.

But if instead of two different checks (one to see if you obtained an item, and one to see what you got) there's just one (to see what you got, with getting nothing as an option), then increasing Marble Nugget rate could just lower the rate of getting nothing. I don't think there's been any testing on whether there's one check or two, because it only manifests differences when SE does things like this.
