Current Known Issues (Aug. 30)

[ringthree]

hopefully Aurik will calm down a bit.

It was far from being just Aurik annoyed, but why would the rest of the monks need to be vociferous when he's doing such a great job and has a math degree to back it up?

Honestly, Aurik was doing a horrible job and none of his explanations had anything to do with math. They had everything to do with him not feeling like he was the top DD anymore. His lack of understanding about DRG and other jobs and his complaints that they already had a role spoke volumes to his ignorance on the subject.

That being said, everyone knew there were issues here, and I am glad they are being resolved. This is one of the things that people wanted fixed, the other being DEX=Acc, but it doesn't look like that is going to change.

If this change improves Aurik's mood and doesn't make certain jobs feel left out or left behind then I am all for it. But it was interesting to his reactions when the tables were turned for a couple of days. Hopefully it will serve as a lesson to all those people that lolDRG for all that time (not talking about Aurik here, just in general).

Knocking down the pdif back to 2.4 seems very reasonable. That will pretty much limit the overpoweredness of bards with 2 handers.

TP of Beastmaster's pet continues to decrease while its not engaged in battle.

Hasn't it always been like this since the beginning of time?

Maybe they intended to change it in the update, but it still does.

Level BST before making comments that are wrong about something you don't know about. Never was there a time that not attacking with a pet caused it to lose TP. You may be thinking about a pet pre-mpk "nerf" that was released to heal up. Their TP would decrease with each tic up of health. A pet can not be actively attacking, and not be "stay"ed either, kind of like the time between disengaging from a dead mob and engaging on a fresh one. A pet that is inactive will not lose TP but also shouldnt be getting health back either. Obviously, there is a trade off to having health regen when stayed, losing TP makes sense then.

You mean CORs now, right?

According to the JP PlayOnline, they are specifically altering the upper limit on damage dealt. Sounds like regular strikes will get a lower cap and crits will have a purpose again.

I never said I knew. I was just offering a possibility. I'm sorry for offending the black sheep. >_>

Harlewaker..; ; ;

Maybe they'll increase out MP pool and stuff on the automaton. That would be rad. But I'm pissed about the might-be-a-nerf update. /dusts off Kraken once more.

Ah my pretty...You may be my favourite again.../stroke

Maybe, but what is there to understand except for the fact that your only issue was your lack of damage, and if that is made equal to a MNK's, you have greater survivability and support utility? Huh, it doesn't have to do with math, does it?

why the fuck does JP POL get detailed information, and NA POL gets "Something is not working as intended"

Let's have another thread about how Dragoons were previously not invited to parties because no one understood the awesome power of Fluffy their pet dragon.

black sheep. >_>

What is that supposed to mean? I'm not playing the omfg im an emo bst card. I'm just pointing out you stated something thats incorrect as if it was a fact.

On topic, kind of.... I won't to say its sad that SE is definitely trying to make it so there isnt 1 "UBEROMFG" merit set up that everyone will emulate for good xp, and only a few players will be ok with slightly less xp with the less than perfect set up, and the players with the perfect set up mocking people for not doing the same. However, its only a matter of time before people discover that 30k xp an hour is shitty, and they will only do 40k+ hr parties with some new specific set up. And whatever job shortage there is for the uber set up, people will wait on that job to show up and bitch about why don't more people level that job. The games worst enemy is the players, and no matter what SE does it always will be like this, not b/c SE is fucking up, but b/c players are too fucking bitchy. This is not your day job (I hope not atleast). If any kind of semi balanced set up can go and get a good rate of merits, then SE is making things work properly finally. Like I said though, someone will find a new perfect template and every other set up will be looked down on in comparison. If this seems all over the place, I'm at work and trying to type up quickly on remainder of lunch break.

So, it was Harlequin head on Stormwaker body that spammed spells? I don't have Stormwaker yet (onry 24), but would have liked to get my Auto's magic skill somewhat near the cap before they nerfed it.

It was fun while it lasted. Though really, I hope they simply tweak the ridiculousness and not launch a tactical nuke.

I didn't even really get to merit with it...fuckin metroid prime 3
