Even though this "extra mysterious gear that you are not supposed to have right now" issue is the reason for maintenance, The other issue with dynamis mobs spawning dead/and or underground is pretty common right now. MY LS does ADL 3-4 times a week and quite often we'll have a LS member not be able to target one of the demon nms. Quite random, but just annoying, for now.

Wonder if the unintended items are the grip/bullet, and whatever corresponds with Yumcax. By and large, the helms/hand/feet and weapons seem to be pretty rare. Based off the last Naakuals, you had a loot pool of 1 helm, 1 other visible piece, and 2-3 weapons. They followed the same model here, then tossed in 2+ pieces (Pahtli Cape and Repulse Mantle in the .dats that I haven't seen mentioned as drops yet, as well as Ocachi Gorget) that are either not nearly as useful as the other gear, or too specific to be of use to more then 1-2 jobs.

Regardless of whatever that reason is, I'd think there's more to this maintenance then what they're letting on. Super sudden, 6+ hours, and still no completion time? Something in the spaghetti was come unraveled.

I would be satisfied with this maint if they took away the useless items from the lootpools.

Well if it was just unintended that would make sense but POL says unimplemented items. So really curious as wtf an unimplemented item would look like and how badly it would fuck things up lol

**Nyerieri** · 2013-07-12 18:46

I think it be the capez not supposed to be dropping in reive.. seems too out of character. I know Lifestream Cape wasn't giving correct stats, not sure if other capes had the same problem

As far as client experience, it does not fuck things up at all.

**Darkmagi** · 2013-07-12 18:48

Capes were announced in the JP post on the day of update. It's certainly intended.

**Cairthenn** · 2013-07-12 18:51

Literally every item that does not yet have stats, a model, icon, etc. is technically already in the game as a placeholder item, so it wouldn't mess anything up other than having an item that would later turn into something else. If you've ever made a character on the test server with items it doesn't have yet, it's the same sort of idea.

You dont have to relog your main character though, he's right, zoning will work if youre already logged in

Could care less about logging in tonight, but gonna be really pissed if I don't get a chance to login before jp midnight. Will be extra pissed if their solution involves letting ppl who already logged in end up with an extra 100 points.

This.

Get home from work and now this shit.

/sigh

**Malithar** · 2013-07-12 19:20

Obvious solution is to make the event last an extra 2 weeks! :D When they did that with Salv v2 plans, think it spoiled us.

**Jem** · 2013-07-12 19:25

If they hadn't said 'unimplemented' I would have said the issue was probably the whole AFK in Reives and still get loot/exp thing.

Least my wife told me that her and someone else just AFK'ed in range of a reive last night and they kept getting 700 exp/bayld + items whenever it got cleared even though they did fuck all.

**Darkmagi** · 2013-07-12 19:26

Yeah, I accidentally did that the other night. I was 80/80 though

A conversation from SE headquarters. . . .

Lackey #1: SO, any ideas on how we can get more people to leave 11 for 14?

Lackey #2: I know, we'll do an emergency maintenance, be vague what it's for, give no estimated time on how long it will be for, only to add an npc no one will ever even notice!

Lackey #1 Have you ever even played 11? There's hundreds of npc's already that no one ever notices!

**Bukadan** · 2013-07-12 19:52

somehow MT'd in the forums...

You realize that not all people are hyped for 14? The only promotional material I personally have come across about it was from these forums or GW where people like you bitch and moan how SE is trying to tank XI for the purpose of driving the populace to XIV. What's the point of releasing new expansion right before release of a brand new MMO? If they truly wanted to be serious about closing down this game and forcing people to move to 14, there's other ways to go about it.

**Byrthnoth** · 2013-07-12 20:03

They posted a third JP maintenance status update, but it's just copy and paste from the second update, which is itself a copy/paste job of the first update.

**Hirronimus** · 2013-07-12 20:09

Sounds like their PR person is out for the weekend and poor technicians are scrambling to fix the problem.

Tech1: Dude, we need to say something to let them know we working on it.
Tech2: Fuck it, just post what we said the first time, who cares

**Khiinroye** · 2013-07-12 20:12

POL website server status lists all the servers as up. And yet, they are still down.
