FINAL FANTASY XI

[Update Details]
-The development team has noticed several issues regarding the management of gear. The concept of weapon skill specific equipment was never intended, therefore the following change has been made to correct this issue:
While engaged, players will no longer be able to make equipment changes.

-While fishing, a new song will be played when players are in the process of reeling in a rare or considerably difficult fish.

-An issue where the Relic Armor Wyrm Mail's special effect of adding support job abilities to the Dragoon's wyvern activated too frequently has been addressed.

We thank you for your cooperation.

this is a joke right?

edit : nothing on playonline >_> You scared me

[Mertron]

Scoundrel.

[Lithiani]

5 marks for effort, minus several million for subtlety. If you really want to create a panic, you need to build up to the screwball part, lead them to it gradually. Put some more effort in and it'll get easily 250 pages on zam.

[Stilgar]

What if they really did disallow gear changes while engaged? That'd be pretty nuts. To start with, I'd toss all my sea gorgets, STR rings, etc. At least mages could still swap staves.

[Janice]

Should have made it where any changes to gear would reset your tp to zero.

[Blabj]

No if you really wanted to shit people up you should have done a link like http://www.playonline.com/pcd/topics/ff ... etail.html on the surface, and then made the actual link go off to a personal site somewhere, where you've copied the inside of an update screen to look exactly like the SE site.

You'd have people so scared, It'd be the best.

(Yes I know this isn't original, killingifrit did it on april 1st and I'm guessing they'll do it again.)

[Ryany]

The sad thing is that I would totally believe an update like that, so you definitely had me fooled at first.

[Kaylia]

There is no "issue" resolved in update details. Everything is good, and SE is perfect. An issue would imply they did something wrong, when it's not possible.


Use "A new equipment change system was implemented to add more strategy to the battle. "

[SageSundi]

I approve of this update.

[Huggo]

-An issue where the Relic Armor Wyrm Mail's special effect of adding support job abilities to the Dragoon's wyvern activated too frequently has been addressed.

I lol'd pretty hard.

[Kurp]

I'll have to admit my heart skipped a beat while reading the equipment change part. But, then it was filled with joy when I read the fishing line.

[LD]

Didn't buy it, but I was jarred. Well played.

Make me remember how they decided to get ride of the massive amount of Jordan Ring in diablos.


"Every Jordan ring sold at the vendor increase the chance of popping the Dark Diablos in one random area of the game. This Diablo will drop a rune that increase all your skill by 2"

[Not Kuno]

I want new fishing music.

[Celeras]

Almost got me, almost.

[spooky]

plz die OP. kthx

[FFXIFlux]

"Due to the huge mass of frothing mages, pissed at us for making them lose target when someone gear swaps, we've decided to finally address the issue after 3 years. Now gear will no longer be able to be swapped outside of your mog house. Thank you."
