FINAL FANTASY XI

[Important Update Details]
- There was an issue where player characters had low resistance rates against spells cast by lower level monsters. This has been addressed.

I'm surprised no one else posted anything. Am I the only one who noticed? Especially after seeing someone comment on how annoying it was that a level 10 Gobbie could land Bind on a level 75 player.

Edit: Added URL.

i did find it odd, but it was the best way i found to bring my hp down to use that damn trick staff

voke and train many quadavs outside bastok

20 level 3-5 quadavs in 10 swings each would do about as much damage as a single one casting dia or poison, which landed pretty much all the time and lasted about a minute

[layoneil]

that took more than 8 hours?

[Annihilator]

that took more than 8 hours?

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

[inafume]

The 8 hour maintenance was to replace the POL servers. This was probably tacked on (maybe the cause of the 30-min extension).

[Kurohyou]

I'm sure most of that was spent trying to figure out that there even WAS an issue with resistance rates.

Is this from yesterday?

Yeah, it is from yesterday's maintenance, which is why I was surprised no one had said anything yet. I noticed it on the POL page, so I expected someone would mention it...

buttseckz ?

Sage Sundi says he doesnt know, but he also says his butt sure hurts.

What was there to be said?

Um... I respectfully disagree. I've seen plenty of instances as a THF75 where I would be picking on Mandragora for skillup, and they'd land Sleep Flower without much difficulty. I usually had to wait for it to wear off, because that took less time than waiting for it to successfully hit me.

There are plenty of similar instances that I'm sure others can recount. It may not be a major, game-breaking thing, but it was an annoyance, and I'm glad it's fixed.

And to Treat Staff warpers, Dia always lands anyway.

wut in tarnations are you talking about my good sir?

[Mifaco]

of all the random issues to fix...

[VirgilEDI]

I'm fairly certain they adjusted a few other things as well. Before the last maintenence I was landing nukes above 500 pretty consistantly in besieged, now its back into the low 200s like it was before the previous update. Those higher blm nukes did make besieged go more smoothly, it was probably just to make things a little harder again.
