Nah, color does change from green to blue..to something else? No idea how it change either, but I'm certain it does on both ps2 and pc.

Im 90% sure it doesnt. but thats just me, plus i havent played in like >.> a week.

I have PS2 version and my sea changes also.

[BRP]

I don't see why SE couldn't change the .dats of older areas to look nicely only on PC and leave the PS2 alone. People do it to armor with no complication with PS2.

Lack of development resources? It's not a technical issue. Maybe they would do it if it promised a large influx of new players.

Someone said to justify his DRK/DRG that jump with kclub still gets the 2-8 bonus just wondering if this is true.

Yes this is true, for both regular and high jumps. I've seen some impressive jumps, like 1300ish I think, maybe more.

Screw SMN, then. Just let DRK/DRG do MP-less 1300 damage every minute (and 3 minutes for high jump).

As for SE's reluctance to do anything different just for PC, although it hasn't crossed their minds, I'm sure people would complain about unfair differences in performance when it comes to claiming in a crowded aery, at the very least.

I want Souleater at a 1min recast too

btw, I don't see why you'd use jump/high jump while 2hing anyways <_< it's the same thing as a normal attack round, only it slows you down in the same manner as a WS would. Other than for screenshots, I don't really see a reason to jump... +blood weapon doesn't work with jump unless I'm mistaken...

From a tank's perspective, does the elemental day count towards resisting a spell? If so, how? Would it be like I'm more likely to resist earth on windsday/weather etc?

May be coincidence, but I notice my thunder nukes take the piss on earthday. Could just be cause I'm looking for it though.

Yes, windsday would hurts earth nukes, and so on. Being a BLM with Morrigan's Robe and not knowing that sort of makes you like Chiz, NynJa.

Dorin Obi + double earth weather + earthday + thunder4 = ???

Jump/high jump don't stop your attack rounds, you keep attacking at the same rate, and can attack during the jump animation itself.

Is there any sort of (publicly-available) chart or reference that summarizes the chances of #1. Success versus failure when crafting 1, 2, 3, 4 etc levels below the cap of an arbitrary synth, and #2. the various HQ rates at different tiers above the cap? I know #2 is probably answered all over the place but #1 is what I'm more interested in, anyway. Sorry for asking here but I didn't want to noob up the crafting forums with stuff that's probably been asked more than the skadi feet movement %.

Speaking of Skadi feet, is the question of whether they stack with w.legs (unlike Strider's) asked as often as the % movement speed?

Because if not, I'm going to ask that question!

[Delekii]

While it's not concrete, prior experience with movement stacking points to no, since aketons don't stack with wlegs, striders, ninja khayan, or gaiters, and wlegs dont stack with striders. It seems to be 1 movement piece only.

What the hoof is the ??? in Empyreal Paradox for?

The one next to entrance to the Promathia/Apoc.Nigh BCNM.
Reads "The air before you appears warped and distorted".

I'm not sure but I'd guess it's there to replay mission CS from those fights?

[Tajin]

No, there is a goblin footprint there too. My guess, is to activate the Apoc Nigh earring exchange.

Brutal earring(or any double attack) & multi-hit weapons(lets say kraken)

Hows it work?

Yes, windsday would hurts earth nukes, and so on. Being a BLM with Morrigan's Robe and not knowing that sort of makes you like Chiz, NynJa.

By extension, would wearing an appropriate obi with a resist/MDB set help?

That I don't know, not being a tank of any kind. It would be an interesting thing to test, but I doubt Obi would have defensive properties.

Hows it work?

Brutal's DA activates = kraken gets 2 hits total? I've heard that's how it works with ridill, and is why people choose to drop DA merits when they go rid/joy, I assume kraken would be the same.

Edit: I believe the reason for this is because the DA check is done before ridill's multi hit check?
