Campaign discussion

[Mulligan]

Do they have new colors or are they rehashes of the looks the old conquest points items have?

[Kaslo]

I would assume Windy would get the Cobra Unit set and Bastok would get the Fourth Division set.

[Lotan]

*Measures have been taken to resolve issues of server and connection instability which resulted from changes made to Region Information updates in the December 6th patch.
As a result, the length of time required for Region Information updates to be reflected has been slightly increased.

A few very good bug fixes in there. Especially for someone who just tried one as a PUP.

System Messages for the beginning and ends of fights.

Filterable, a bit of spam sure, but fuck yes, finally a surefire notification that the area you're thinking of warping too is under attack.

Is it system wide or area wide?

I have no idea where the telepoint is in Old Sandy (same place as current?), but it's got to be closer than the MH! Yay no more long runs after being teleported!

Wow that's... useless.

[epigram]

It helps deaf people.

Well deaf people that were already in the zone.

Ok, your right it's worthless...

[Max™]

God damn waste of fucking code.

I have sound turned down, and even then it's still completely fucking useless.

I zoned out to Wsaruta to see, if just maybe they had at least been smart enough to let you know in outdoor areas that another fight started, maybe even a neighboring one.

To my dismay I watch Karugo pop, go away, and then suddenly. "A campaign battle has begun."

30 seconds later the map shows Saruta active.

Fucking whoopdie goddamn do, thanks SE, you raised my hopes, and then dashed them expertly.

[Zak]

You know, they are experts in that department.

[Kaslo]

You know that's kinda useful for ppl who don't play with sound on... like myself...

I hated having to listen for the music as I farmed wivre >.>

[Suiram]

Before we got control of Crawler's Nest this week, I spent time down there beating on Fortifications when they popped even with no Campaign up. I discovered that the battle music wouldn't change to the campaign music if one started until you disengaged, so I started camping in the middle so I could see when NPCs depopped. This change would be nice for situations like that I suppose.

[Seigfried Of Pandy]

we lived without it, theres really no reason to QQ about it cause it aint perfect, maybe will get lucky and have it changed in the future. for the most part another little useful mini patch to address broken shit, cool.

[Max™]

To see it implemented in such a shitty way is just a slap in the face, what could they have done with that time instead?

[Datonare]

Got my Bronze Star $ tonight and got 4/5 on I.R. gear... too tired to get the last 4k points i need.. i'll post stat bonuses when i get up if not already posted

[Suiram]

Someone pointed out to me that your medals affect the bonuses like Refresh effect from Sigil. I checked a couple nights ago and at Allied Ribbon SSSS rank (should we start numbering these? in which case this would be rank 4) refresh kicks in until 65%, as opposed to 50% at rank 1. Never thought to test at ranks 2 and 3, but I'd imagine they're 55% and 60%, respectively, and I won't be rank 5 for 2-3 days but anyone else who ranks up could check that easily.

[Lordwafik]

Sad. Last 4 campaign battles I've been to ended either immediately after zoning, or within 2 minutes. This is bullshit, give me back the good campaign updating map!

You noticed they boned it up too.

You can easily time how fucked the map is now.

Wait in an area, see the "A Campaign Battle has begun." message, and start a timer til it displays on /cmap.
