So does anyone have a clue what the maintenance in Reisenjima is about? There's one on Valefor starting in about 10 minutes (2030 GMT/1230 PST)

[dasva]

Nothing on playonline or the OF... maybe they mad people already beating new nms?

[Trumpy]

Community team is on holiday til new years i think so we might not see any info til then id guess

[Tarage]

Just realized the last Aloha Iroha came out.

Pretty funny. Didn't know SE had it in them.

[Ihina]

They probably don't. I'm betting it's third party.

[Petitssk]

It is, though I bet whoever was in charge of translating was irritated they forcibly made the English title rhyme, making it impossible to capture the emotional impact of the very last panel (though they had to leave out a lot of other stuff, too).

[Tarage]

Is there anything new for the new year event? Or is it the same stuff as always?

[Hitou]

If I had to guess, we'll get the banana peel throwing weapon from this since it's year of the monkey.

[Seha]

There should be the bonanza drawings sometime this month.

[dasva]

Yay they might fix spike flail. Too many people trolling at dragons.

[fantasticdan]

Flail tanking was the only way I could do anything on zitah/reis dragon without getting spammed with full dispel/perma terror.

[Fwahm]

They explicitly said they're not removing Spike Flail, so it seems they're removing Mighty Strikes instead.

[fantasticdan]

Was @dasva, just saying sitting on tail isn't trolling lol.

[Byrthnoth]

It's still trolling. Unless you're soloing it, don't stand on the tail.

[Hoshiku]

They explicitly said they're not removing Spike Flail, so it seems they're removing Mighty Strikes instead.

That will make me very sad as larceny might strikes is very fun. I can see why they're considering it though. :X

[dasva]

Was @dasva, just saying sitting on tail isn't trolling lol.

It is when you move to the tail 9% and wipe the group doing it at zitah and then proceed to immediately do it again right after everyone gets raised up but before any weaknesses have worn off with only 4 minutes left of the fight. Shit like that happens (not exactly but similar) somewhat often

[dasva]

Anyone have any clue why there is emergency maintenance in each escha zone and whitegate?

I realise this is a bit late now, but:

A version update was performed on FINAL FANTASY XI at the following time.

[Date & Time]
Jan. 5, 2016 21:00 (PST)

[Affected Service]
FINAL FANTASY XI

[Update Details]
The following issues have been addressed:

-Upon proceeding with the Treasures of Aht Urhgan mission “Bastion of Knowledge”, an issue where the screen would blackout for the event “Puppet in Peril” in Walahra Temple at Aht Urhgan Whitegate and may not proceed further.
(For “Playstation 2” version only)

-An issue where the Notorious Monster may not appear when using the Grisly Trinket on “Geas Fete”.

Also, a second, client-side only update, that requires a download:

• Trading an equipment to an NPC through the text command "/item" could lead to another item being traded if said item was in the Mog Wardrobe but not in the inventory.

It's cute that the devs think there is a balance between Empy upgrade mat supply and demand.

[fantasticdan]

It's still trolling. Unless you're soloing it, don't stand on the tail.

On my server most of the competent players that show up to these all sit on tail fulltime. When you don't, the people actually doing damage get terrored non-stop (and often get killed by adds) and nothing gets done.
