OMG at update details..

[Quicklet]

That's because they already have something similar to it, plus they don't drop anything too useful for endgame anyway, so it's not an issue.

[Pali]

Nvm, misread the posts before mine

Edit: In, zomg they didn't break windower this time!

[Mekhami]

I theorize they never meant to break windower... instead, that program that allowed you to fly, speedwalk, etcetera. Just a thought, from reading the updated TOS.

[Fira]

ya... update did nothing jp still claim b4 i see fafnir load lol

[Russta]

Just took down Fafnir, noticed no difference at all. Total fight time was around 40 minutes I think. Friend on Ramuh says differently though; 1116 hit to his Bard through Stoneskin, normal hits for 400+ Wing for 800+...

Damn...

Many of the JP on my server already claim with mules.. the claim adjustment will do nothing but make mule claiming more common. If JP don't claim with mules on your server expect them to soon... As for the strength increase over time that may actually help NA, as its going to be difficult for JPs to claim faf or nid with 7 or so... there may even be such a thing as "JP time" again soon>.>

So how is claiming different?

I have no idea on this front. When my LS logged in Fafnir was up chilling so we never had to conest to find out. Adamantoise just popped and Ninja voked it and it was his, nothing different at all.

Looks like someone fucked up.

Apparently the "delay" just bridges the gap between JP and NA connections. When they talked about the unclaimable period, everyone immeadiately thought that it would pop and be on their screen for 10 seconds before everyone mashing enter all at once. The delay is very small.

I had time to tab through 4 darters and look at a white fafnir long enough to get halfway through pulling out my weapon. Most of the time, i'd see it white for a split second and 'Namfoodle starts casting Flash' wouldn't even appear.

I don't even know how the people who claimed it, did. I think a Japanese warrior hit it with his sword.

[threevo]

ya its small. Behemoth is really even now tho against the JPs. i told rng to do something and it worked and we claimed behemoth today. its kinda nice it was just sitting there for 1-3 secs unclaimed and he walked over and i did too and stunned it so idk.

Interesting, so ablilties still work. Was he spamming Russ?

I wonder if an emergency patch will come out to fix the overpowered NMs and maybe this.

I can't honestly say when his dmg ramped up but he was in fact harder from the start. We honestly, had a rought time with almost ZERO sleep duration with Sleep2 + ES. We had tank issues because we claimed with a "claiming party". I can honestly say that Faf got stronger as he went along. Wings became stronger eventually after the 1hour mark they were doing 800ish with ShellIV up on our paladins and ninja's. After around 30minutes his normal hits went from 190 on our ninja to about ~400. At the 1 hour mark, it hit out paladin for 800 a hit and 2 shot 1 and then the other. It hit out miscellaneous DD like our Dragoon and Samurai for ~1000 and hit me as a 72 summoner with earthen ward for the 1116 dmg Russta posted earlier. All in all it was an interesting experience on our parts. Only thing was a downer was the other ls sitting there laughing at us as we got rocked for 1k a melee hit (hell Tiamat doesnt even hit me for 1k+ with Mighty Strikes on). It wasn't just his damage output that increased however. His accuracy as well as his defence. Our Galka samurai went from hitting for dmg to hitting for 0 with 0 to very low ws dmg.

As for claiming, it was yellow for a full 2-3 seconds before our ninja voked it. It just seems that its an anti packetsniffer/jp latency playing field leveler.
