The play button activates once the servers are up or have to shutdown POL?


I'm always at work during maintenances.

The FFXI page refreshes itself, so as soon as server are up the Play button will be active, no need to quit.

PS POL is being updated also

So you can stay on the ffxi toppage and the play button will suddenly become selectable?

That is correct.

Also automatically becomes the check version / update thing when there's a maint.

When did getting raised reset your TP to 0%?

When did getting raised reset your TP to 0%?

were you in a level capped area or somewhere that you did not lose xp? dying removes your lvl cap, then when you're raised restores it. when you get stood back up, your level cap re-instates and you lose all buffs (you didn't have any since you were dead) and all TP gained. i think salvage and assault may be doing this erroniously too, but don't quote me on that.

Getting tractored and getting charmed also resets your TP.

And if you have friends like mine, getting charmed is a death sentence.

VIT/HP is worthless, Arhats+1 is the best -physical head.
As for rings, shits situational, I used Sattva/Mermaid, Jelly for physical macro, Mermans for magic macro, and BQ for max HP that I never bothered with.

Actually, some where out in the ether of the interweb someone tested this and found that they were pretty close to identical in the amount of damage they reduced. At that point the secondary benefits factor in, enmity vs. HP.

Shit is situational.

That was happening in instanced areas along with losing re-raise, hopefully it was fixed with that bug.

Dusk Feet and hands do movement down stack? Also can this be negated by W. legs?

It's no fun now that they don't lose EXP.

each dusk piece is -12%, yes they do stack. Wlegs would negate 1 dusk piece (back to normal speed).

Having a taru hit you with Raging Rush is always funny.

Yes Dusk movement down stacks, yes Crimson legs cancel it, though it always makes me wonder when people don't just macro out the Dusk for running around.

Dusk isn't that special, so it comes down to laziness, unless maybe you're wearing Dusk +1 shit, but still, damn. Go through all that to get Wlegs, just to run at normal speed.

Dia 3 just isn't worth the investment imo.

[Eldelphia]

Don't bother with Dia

More random questions about the expansion.

Being a lazy cunt, I forgot to pre-order a PC copy of WOTG. Is the only way to get a registration code to buy a PC/PS2/X360 game? Is there no option to purchase the code online from SE? As I'm torrenting it I find the prospect of shelling out £30 for a DVD I'll never use rather wasteful.

At this point, that seems like the only way to get the code.

Is there a cap on spell interuption rate?
