Wow... Aspi and Nid popped day after for us. But still waiting on KB, which after 3-4 days straight of first window pops is already at 4 am EDT. :/

Well, at least now it'll all be NQ and I don't have to feel bad if I can't be at a camp today.

- People are having too much fun with the boat assaults. We will limit it to once a week.

I thought it was maybe more like...

"Now that a bunch of you have wasted hours and hours on sea triggers and popped AV and deleveled twice in your attempt to lock him and essentially wasted 12 hours, we're going to fix it so that he will lock up properly again..."

Because that would just be the kind of luck I expect.

[NynJa]

wouldnt be suprised...

usually patch-errors that make them look like utter retards are usually unpatched as "other issues". Wouldnt be the first time.

[Jhun]

Fix AV kthx
and fix the retarded issue were certain PT members can't get the effect of songs/protectra/shellra..etc

Breaking an existing craft doesn't make one look very smart either

[phizit]

joy I get to run up to sky before all the GS rape everything once servers come up :/

[Lylie]

Hope they fix their shitty connection, my friend (on PS2) and I have been having alot of problems since the last update...

- Other in-game issues.

I hate that, it's so vague, they could ninja-update anything without our knowledge.

"Oh were sorry, the Porrogos were supposed to be spamming Frog Song, we'll fix that."

And hush to anyone that says Steam Cleaner was SE's fault. They just changed the pop condition, and when nobody could figure it out, they just put it back like it was, remember? It was NEVER broken.

So now was it AV getting locked, or AV not getting locked anymore, the bug. *Drum Roll*

"Hasso and Seigan sure kicked alot of ass, didn't they? Hope you didn't get used to it."

I don't think it'll happen, but I still cringe.

I don't think it'll happen, but I still cringe.

An LS mate of mine can't use Hasso or Seigan as SAM37 or WAR75/SAM37. It says "Debug Error: Please Report" they say. So I think that might be another issue, but I dunno if they'll be patching Hasso or Seigan to be less effective.

I doubt they'll take those out. But Besieged is pretty easy. Had a Mamool attack last night, started with 325, ended with 425 and it was 30-45min long (level 6...) and wasn't hard at all. Seemed just like having 700+ people, but because of less lag, we had less death lol

Did you kill the NMs? Seems killing the NMs makes then retreat quicker. All the latest besieged have been shorter than pre-patch.

Here's hoping SE can fix its spaghetti code without fucking something else up in the process

that's what makes it fun. In the longer beseiged the giant's drink wears off before it ends anyway, but I have much more fun with these new additions than boring old vanilla beseiged.

I didn't, but all 3 Mega Bosses have been dead since a day or two after the patch. We normally get 1000 or 1080 exp in Besieged, I've missed only like one since patch (THF buffer is low and I <3 the 'story' of besieged). They do seem to retreat a lot quicker. I think pre-patch you had to kill ALL the randomly placed "Generals" for a mob army, now maybe you only need to kill a certain % of them, not all. A number of Besiegeds pre-patch we'd be stuck and there would only be ONE non-NM left and that was the guy to trigger retreat, that's not the case now.

[Auspice]

Speaking of Besieged, has anyone else noticed that they nerfed how often they happen now too? Guess that's the price we've gotta pay to have a 200 exp increase.

They happen at the same rate on my server. We've had 3-4 sets of level 6's since the patch.
