Dev Tracker: Discussion (Old)

[Guitarman]

BST 2hr is exciting. fantod + back heel is really no joke.

[dejet]

It's 33% with -33% att too. Only lasts 60-75 seconds though.

I wanna use fatso. -50% att then spamming tp drainkiss . Seems to drain all tp even when used at at 100% for some reason. Seems to work on some nms but I rarely use it so who knows. I haven't really gotten to testing moves other than ones I thought might be cool debuffs so idk about cool dmgness

Its not that strong on NMs Sadly I used him on the sandworm nm.

Not very promising for the PLD ability at the moment: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...860-New-PLD-SP

The BST one isn't as good as it could be, apparently: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...228#post381228

PLD sounds like a bug since there must be an attack difference if it's attack is set to 1. Might be a VW issue?

maybe its the same issue thats plaguing the additonal WS effects like attack, deff, accuracy and evasion down

Lol hey guys we just gave you this super debuff 2hr... btw it only lands on non nm super too weak mobs

[Darkmagi]

I really hope it's that same issue, because that would mean they would have to address it.

Until they decide to change the PLD SP and leave the effects broken!

[Byrthnoth]

The PLD SP is broken on the test server where all the other additional effects work, so it seems unlikely that it is the same issue.

[Taim Meich]

I really doubt this is the way the PLD SP works, it's a bug, it can't be anything else.

[dasva]

iirc the other effects didn't always work on test server either.

[Byrthnoth]

Well, the test server is where I figured out the durations structures for the effects that now don't work, which was after they broke it on the main server. I haven't been on since the PLD SP2 update, so idk if the additional effects bug has spread or not.

[Slycer]

They confirmed on the JP side that it's a bug. Not going to post full translations right now, but it's definitely a bug.

Also they had some very uninformative post about progress on the play as a monster system and commented that some of the data is already being loaded onto the test server, with hopes that it will be available soon for testing.

If I remember right, there was a period where the effects didn't work on the test server either; I think it was a bit after the 99 cap was released.

[Prothescar]

The possibility exists that they've implemented the PLD SP2 with whatever bad strings of code are causing other additional effects to have issues on the real server. Judging by that thread that's been linked, however, I'm willing to bet that the two issues are not related, as the additional effects would not have landed on any of the monsters mentioned there if it were the same problem. Possible the PLD SP2 has some huge macc boost to somewhat compensate, but that's a bit farfetched.

[The Meat Toilet]

The day that the Development Bros do a good job coding an additional effect that actually matters will be the day that my scrotum becomes sentient, crawls up my torso, and then consumes my head to take its place and have dominion over my whole body.

The scrotum-zombie that I have become will then drive out to Krystal for some sliders, a difficult feat in spite of my eyes and mouth being eaten in my ball-sack's bid for power, while the Development Bros either fix numerous additional effects on the main server or at least announce that they're intended to suck to the English-speaking populace.

On the bright side, if they're announcing the new Paladin SP has a bug this early, maybe they'll actually fix it.

[TheDangerousDave]

You try too hard

[dasva]

As farfetched as all that is this is SE we are talking about. The guys who somehow in update that did almost nothing and certainly nothing to do with thf somehow made SA only work from the front. The guys who in just changing how much dmg could be display somehow made cures do 99999 dmg to undead etc etc

It's worse than that! Sadly, that really is an example of how I tend to communicate rather than an affectation of goofiness.

To say "some people find me grating" would be letting me off far too easy.

in other words the SP update has potential for a gazillion of bugs that are followed up by a gazillion of emergency maintances. by trying to fix the PLD SP they fuck up shield bash, that lets the mob be stunned forever. Calling it now!
