So ~80% of the update effects FF as a whole and the other ~20% is things related to CoP/ToAU.

We know that there is a new merc rank and 5 assaults and storyline which more then likely would be most of that 20%.... But CoP? Unless there is a tie together mission for ToAU/CoP much like RoZ/CoP had one.

ROCL make sure you close new accounts on forum!!!!!!!!!!!

CRASH WHEN I NEED MY FIX NOTHX PLZ!

Only thing I can think of aside from ninja-fixes, new NMs, or unannounced additions, is that the Pit involves CoP areas in some way, for mob capturing perhaps.

ETA on BG breaking in half due to the typical patch related rush?

Never! This new server should be able to weather it.
Should be able to >_>

BG is gonna get pwnt harder than a random trick in Mardi Gras. Sorry.

[DAKPluto]

Or maybe SE is just stupid and listed both expansions even if CoP isn't being touched.


(Although this is probally ninja edit of AV for SE's demonstration of beating AV, and then will be un ninja edited in an "emergancy update" right after that)

From pol.com: "Around 6960 accounts in violation of the FINAL FANTASY XI user agreement were suspended or banned today." Not "around 7000" but "around 6960". lol

They probably have +- 10 accuracy on that.

Hmmm the pit. I'm drawing blanks about what this was going to be like other then "build your own cuddly killing machine"

Though if thats the case for needing CoP wouldnt it also need to state RoZ; or is that by now an assumed to have it installed.

BST can now charm Sea mobs.

[ddazska]

BST can now charm Sea mobs.

That would be the update of the century.

Dolphin AV Assault!

[Septimus]

Wonder what they're modifying regarding CoP-content for it to listed alongside ToA with regards to filesize for expansion-users in the update.

"All CoP BC's are now soloable by players level 40+."

BRB, getting sea for my second character.

Tease. ;_;

I've helped friends with CoP lately and they made the missions so stupidly easy we went from Vahzl to Airship in 2 days, 1/1 on each BC without even trying. Feels like doing ZMs instead.

They changed like 5 BCNM's (Promyvion's and Snoll) out of the countless number of them in CoP. I don't see why so many people bitch about this. Unless buying special items from the AH is making the fights stupidly easy.

Edit: >_> Although Snoll is a joke now with the instant salts.

[alphacat]

Any other server having fucking besieged right now? They entered Al Zahbi at 12:03.... we're pretty much gonna come back with no fucking AC.

Btw, when do we usually get the update notes?

[Xanthe]

The patch notes usually come out not too long after all the servers come down.

All the NA/EU releases came with Zilart, so I guess there would be no need.

Albeit, the same is not true for the JP, it lists Zilart alongside the other two expansions for the "more mb to download" category.
(and wtf @ them having 100mbps connections, mines only a bloody 2mbps!)

Snoll is a joke now, it only seems to use Berserk LOL, but outside of that the only real difference is the Hall of Death on the second floor of Vahzl. It is just easier now for people to get the items they should have been using a long time ago to make the missions easy.

The missions have always been easy if you brought the right items, people are just dumb.

[Ruin]

So PoL is down for 1.5hrs less than the maintanance? So in other words noone will be able to update or play ffx tonite.
