anyone datamined yet? >.>

Cool thanks, I'll have to do that if (when) they announce an extension, and then next time.

Obi werent working right after the last patch and they are fixing it. What's the problem again?

What wasn't working about them? I've hardly used mine enough to notice since the last patch.

My damage on fafnir the last few days on thundersday was so inconsistant with the same gear, while blm with not as good gear as mine were doing about the same damage as me.

[Aodh]

I'm hoping that it's the items which rely on weather/day for activation will finally recognize the Obi. But that is just my wish considering I have full AFv2 on SMN and that would make my avatars only cost 3mp/Tic to keep out, and Fenrir would always be free.

[Tahngarthor]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but...doesn't there have to be a download before you can...mine...?(new shit that is)

Check Files in the POL viewer means you get the update early ^^

This has never worked for me.

[spooky]

i wish they would post better update notes, so save this discussion in the first place. it would be nice to know exactly what the problem was before and what they have done to change it. why do they feel the need to keep us out of the loop? ; ; (please add that to the interview :D)

Thats most likely related to the BLM nerf. When the nerf activates you get your damage reduced anywhere from about 5% to 30% and anywhere inbetween. I hit a 2.1k burst II and a 1.8k burst II MB both on thundersday. The second one was because I landed a bit later than all of my suicidal comrades.

[Not Kuno]

No it wasnt the nerf because there werent that many blm nuking it.

[Kyreth]

From elsewhere buried in the forum, the problem was the obi added it's bonus...and then the penalty if there was a negative weather condition was applied. So Thunderday using an Thunder-type obi in Earth weather actually reduced damage.

I hope you're right, if they're simply fixing that, I'll be very happy.

[Hilander]

Obi never applied negative effects, negative effects are just random.

[epigram]

I just wish they fixed the extra space after Beast Affinity and Beetle Mittens +1 in the auto-translate...

There was a *significant* damage fluctuation going on with obi's that wasn't there before the July patch. A pair of blm friends that always duo Apollyon NW noticed the fluctuation first and mentioned it to me. Where thunder 4 would always do 1395 or something with full latents (sorc, ugg, obi), they were noticing quite a few 1200's and one 1400+...damage was all over the map. Before the patch, so long as you met the latent conditions, your damage was always the same - even if you hit a 50% resist, that damage was a predictable %.

This fluctuation had nothing to do with the patch, we can see the adverse effects on impossible to gauge monsters who haven't had 1 spell cast on them.

That's pretty much exaclty what I've been seeing with Fafnir. Just crazy dmg ranges with the same exact gear.

Well, some info has been posted and the damage bonus for day/weather/weatherx2, looks to be about the same as it was before.

Knyghtmayre's post towards the bottom. Single weather is giving him slightly less than the flat 10%, so I wonder if the dmg fluctuation is still present after all....in which case - what the hell did they "reflect"?

Maybe someone with good japanese > english translation skills can take a stab at the original document @ JP POL:

http://www.playonline.com/ff11/polnews/news8441.shtml

The original translation was: "Effects for the following items were not reflected correctly and have been addressed:
Karin Obi / Hyorin Obi / Furin Obi / Dorin Obi
Rairin Obi / Suirin Obi / Korin Obi / Anrin Obi"

He's wear penitent's rope, of course it's not flat 10% difference, factor out the int difference and it's correct isn't it?

以下のアイテムの効果が正常に反映されていなかった不具合を
　修正しました。
　　火輪の帯／氷輪の帯／風輪の帯／土輪の帯
　　雷輪の帯／水輪の帯／光輪の帯／闇輪の帯

The translation is pretty much on the money..

A discrepancy where the following items' effect did not reflect their normal influence (I guess normal influence meaning, as written on the item) has been corrected.

[spooky]

so no nerf? >.> if you want to know why i care so much about this topic btw. check my sig ^.^

[Shuemue]

You're a horribly bad BLM if you need a bot to manage your gear.
