FINAL FANTASY XI Update (Nov. 13)

[Seyrr]

I am confused now. I would link the picture of the bunny with the pancake, except I'm supposed to be working and a picture like that would be difficult to explain. I cheerfully withdraw whatever it was I said!

[Kimiko]

that took more than 8 hours?

the 8h part was the original reason for maintenance, which was announced as a much needed server replacement

Yeah, good news is that I haven't r0'ed in Whitegate or Al Zahbi since the maintenence. Whatever they did, it definatly helped things.

[YaelRagnarok]

now if it somehow fixed that weird black-screen bug in Garden of Ru'hmet. Having half an alliance R0 and freeze sucks >.>

[Palpatine]

I sent a bug report after fighting a Shadow Dragon in Xarcabard, and getting petrified. All I had on for buffs were haste and phalanx (just killing it in passing for ENM) and died after 62 hits + 39 evades. I was petrifed for a solid 4 minutes while a Shadow Dragon killed me

After home pointing, I charged back with a vengeance. I kiled it (after fully buffing this time) but got paralyzed in the process. No joke, paralyze finally wore off...when I got to the ramp near Jormungand. It freaking proc'd every single time I cast sneak too - SO ANNOYING. Had to be about 15 minutes or so.

I once got cursed by a dragon, and it wore off several hours later.

I don't see much of a change, yesterday a freaking Beaucedine tiger landed roar on me twice, as a lvl75.

That's only happening on PS2, ya? I'm having that problem there.

Also...to PS2 users; After whatever the last patch was, have you noticed crazy lag and screen freezes after bard songs(most notably ballad) are cast? I freeze up so bad that I start to redball when songs go off. Maybe my PS2 sux, dunno though

Were you wearing scorp harness?

[Lordwafik]

and spectacles, -27 to ice, regardless the mob is low level and I shouldn't be getting a 100% land rate simply from -27 ice (especially since if you stack it the other way to +27 ice it's unnoticeable).

Yes, it's quite horrible, especially since I'm playing BRD. Sometimes it is worse than others, and sometimes (particularly when we are not engaging any mobs) it doesn't happen at all. But there were a few jailer fights last Saturday where all I could do was mash my Ballad macros and hope that 1) mages were near me, and 2) the songs went off at all.

[Excalin Garisk]

That anything like getting two ballads casted on you and only one taking effect 90% of the time?

Ok, so it's not just me 8D Yeah, most of the bard lag I get is when there is an alliance fight, such as Cerb, or Dynamis.

[Bakthi]

Oh wait, sorry...I thought you were still talking about sea. That's the only place I have any problems. It can get down to like one frame per 5 seconds, seriously. But everywhere else is fine.

Sent a bug report? This happened to me a year ago on 75 RDM. Good thing the only witness quit the game, I was humiliated.

My character select screen is laggin bad.. doesn't update when my toon changes zone/gear like it should. Still says I am in Grand Palace of Hu'Xzoi atm wearing Zenith Slacks/Zenith Crown for Sorcerer's Ring low HP macro................ haven't been in Grand Palace for over 2 hours now, and currently in whitegate wearing totally different gear, not really a problem, but just wondering if anyone else noticing this.

Someone go fight AV and see if they ninja-adjusted it again!

I got that problem and it scared the hell out me thinking someone got into my account and moved my toon around @_@

[Janice]

This happens to me from time to time. Maybe you have never noticed it before but its been going on for at least a year.
