December 2015 Version Update - Discussion & Findings

[nivlakian]

I'm not sure if someone mentioned this before and I didn't notice it in the update notes but geo's wind -ra spells have oddly been renamed from Aerora to Aera in the menu and /ma Aerora no longer appears to work.

SE changed the default option on homepoint warps from "yes" to "no", and its really annoying because I had JUST gotten used to them adding the favorites option.

Anyone else having issues when entering a Yorcia alluvion after the update? More often than not the book and the living cairn won't load at all unless I log out and back in, which wastes a lot of time.

You can run out of draw distance to reload it, unless the area is too small.

It's a lot more widespread than that. Random warps and things to enter areas to other people. You can't even use fkeys on people in your pt and such

Fucking yes. I have NEVER had issues with this shit up until now, and it's every damn time I zone into Escha or do Sinister Reign. It gets old when you have to run into the distance to port somewhere nearly everywhere you go.

The problem with disappearing NPCs/Objects has been out since the abyssea days.
Over the last few months it somehow became more prominent but nothing too serious.
After the december patch it's gotten worse and now it also affects players.

It happens on zoning and it's a client-based issue. It seems like the client fails on receiving some packets and PCs do not load in your client.
This seems to happen only during the delicate phase of zoning. If the missing character logs out and in, the ones remaining in zone (i.e. not logging out) should be able to see him again.
Attempting to Accession spells on you will hit all the players in range, even if you can't see them, but it won't display in the chat log and it will cause Timers to crash.


Edit:
Nvm I forgot this also happens if you go 50+ yalms away from a character. When you get under 50 again there's a chance a certain player won't load for you, locally in your client.
