Current Known Issues (Mar. 8)

[perdition]

Ppl whining about the price plummet are likely the ones who spent 27m gil on the item. They think oh, I'm so Uber cuz I have thf knife, well.. not anymore get used to it. The game is alot better when the average player can have access to good items, as opposed to having to commit far too much time, and effort on something as silly as camping Sozu for weeks and still not getting the drop.

I think now that SE is making good gear accessible to the average player the game benefits greatly, I can't tell you how many friends of mine quit because they couldn't kiss enough ass to get gear in some HNM shell, or because they didn't have time to do endgame, or because they just didn't like spending 12 hours trying to get an item that didn't even have a 100% drop rate. Se messed up on so much of this game, its about time they started getting some things right.


edit: Also shouldn't we all be happy that our average thf will have better TH, that means better drops for us.

[safer]

wow gotta love people bitching about thf knife drop... who cares if its 100% or if its 10% drop... eventually every single thief will have one... does it matter they have it now, or in a weeks time (because you know that if it was 10% drop rate, all the thieves will STILL be spamming it till it dropped)

sooooo........ take out the fkn time sink and just give the thieves what they want

seriously SE does something amazing, but you still have some people who's epeen will get hurt because now they made it too easy......

btw within 2 months time i bet everyone in my ls will have byakko's haidate whether they can equip it or not... got 3 ulli stones last night + 1 saved from before..

get over yourselves

Meh, I'd rather average THFs level a more useful job and have the good THFs who actually deal real damage bring their knives to HNM. THFs who in their leveling up adventures only did 312 SATA Shark Bites to Berserked Catoblepas can just leave their knives in safe.

And yes, I know a THF that bad.

[Attila]

Still makes me dread a nerf to the drop before I can get back on tonight and try to get one for my THF friend (and me?) lol

Call it pessimisitic realism. I hope they leave it as is though.

Wow, that is bad... lol

THF Knife now equal to Parade Gorget.

A piece of gear that gives a boost for a select job/jobs and requires a marginal amount of effort to obtain.

So What?

[Demonlord]

Slightly different from a guaranteed knife from two hours of farming EP mobs, don't you think?

i spent just about 5 hours in the temple from server up and was the first to get the pop item and drop on asura. after 3 dropped (within the first 3 hours of servers up) no others dropped with atleast 20 thieves in the zone killing pursuers as they pop.

- Level requirement for the item Warrior's Mufflers has been changed from 72 to 75.


seems kinda random.

The long awaited WAR nerf, no doubt.

lol Wow I can't believe they would do such a thing. That just royally screwed over every level 72 Warrior. I guess it's time to quit the job since they nerfed it to hell with this update. God, SquareEnix can be such dicks sometimes!

I know you are joking, but I think they fixing it back as in, 75 -> 72 after next maint.

[Blackice]

The WAR hands being changed from 72 to 75 makes zero sense, that would mean they'd have to change the body to 72 and swap their respective drop areas.

Huh?

I mean, he is right, if it was in fact not a mistake. Though it is a mistake, as was mentioned in the "known issues."

So it was a random change that did make zero sense, but yes it was a mistake.

I think he was just saying that if it was intentional they mussed it up a bit.

Maybe. Maybe I'm giving him too much credit.

[SassiAsura]

@ war hands... wut

[further]

LOL @ ppl thinking THF knife being 100% was a mistake...


Like many have said, every THF in the friggin game should be allowed to have this item, and SE finally realized it.

Thief Knife is not a game breaking item, and that 1% extra TH doesn't do a whole lot other than make people feel good. Lets you know you did everything you could to "get the drop" by having max TH in alliance.

Thief Knife being 100% drop is genius imo, A LOT of things in this update were genius. (and by genius I mean BOUT FUCKING TIME SE)

[Demitrius]

Meh, I presented myself badly. I just don't want to see a hundred thieves get their knife, then have them put it back to the old Sozu drop rate, leaving a hard to get item in the hands of people who put in no effort. That's just the first thought that occurred to me. I don't have a knife to sell and my shell has all of one knife total, so I stand to gain quite a bit from it staying 100%. I just didn't see how they could have intentionally done it. Guess I'm just trained to think that SE has to make everything good incredibly hard to get. Wonder where I got that idea

[Jazelon]

That would make too much sense! I agree, I have no clue why 3 levels without warrior's mufflers could make a difference

[NynJa]

Thf's knife price is going to absolutely plummit(assuming no roll backs and no drop rate nerfs soon), but other than that I don't see why the economy as a whole will be hit.


But then economics never was my strong suit.

Because every dumbshit thief on the server who couldnt solo Jaggedy Ear Jack or were completely undedicated are going to have a weapon that dedicated thieves who spent a collective 100+++++++ hours on it...


I saw so many fucking gimp thieves in ToU last night, anyone I checked would be worthy of the "worst equipped" thread. Now these retards are going to all get thieves knives with minuscule effort ??

Hi Ashi! You need to link my blog to your blog

Oh and from Fhqwghads quoting SE's own announcement in the first post...

Current Known Issues (Mar. 8 )

Since the implementation of the latest version update on Mar. 7, 2007, we have confirmed the following issues. Investigation and recovery work is currently underway.

- Level requirement for the item Warrior's Mufflers has been changed from 72 to 75.

This was in the OP. >.<

What about THF's that have spent 100+++ hours camping Sozu, only to have the Mob claimed by RMT bots?

I've spent way to many 8-10 hour days camping him with my THF friend, only to:
1. Get claim kill and no drop or 2. Have RMT/Botters get claim.

Doesn't he deserve a shot at this item?

Then keep camping.
I got my knife before they even fixed the claim delay, which is a fuckton worse than RMT. Atleast with RMT there you can claim it, back before the claim delay fix, Sozu would just pop purple.
