All Worlds Emergency Maintenance (Nov. 26)

[Rocl]

done, i hope they're all laughing now.

oh you wacky sendoh

And I was enjoying my dancer soloing with drain samba... damn you SE.

[Myrrial]

Yeah when you actually ask info to the npc aboot campaign he does say dying *dramatically* reduces your reward.
Well at least I'm pretty sure...

Step 1) Get Allied Tags.
Step 2) Die.
Step 3) Get back up.
Step 4) Go turn in Allied Tags without performing any other actions.
Step 5) Gain (a pathetic amount of) XP.

I don't care what the NPC says. You get XP for getting yourself killed. This may be changed later on. But its certainly the truth now.

[Palin@Ramuh]

is there a way to find out what they change in these updates?

[LinktheDeme]

What was the name of that guy that got flamed in at least 10 different threads for signing his name? ;/

Though powerful, I dont think this is one of the things theyre 'fixing'. It was quite nice to never drop past 75% while non stop chaining EP~EM mobs.


@Palin, your question was answered in the other thread, theyll tell us afterwards.

[Varrin]

I apparently missed a memo somewhere ;-;

Let me activate my telekinesis and read the minds of the Square Enix employees working on the servers right now to see what they're fixing...

Actually, he says that while there are no immediate consequences for dying, your performance appraisal will take an indirect hit. It's only natural that if you're dead you'll be unable to adequately contribute until you are raised and unweakened. Less time participating means less points when you're evaluated. Not that it really matters when you can solo a single mob and pretty much get your 600 cap.

Is that for killing a campaign NM only? I soloed a normal beastmen during campaign and only recieved like 50 allied notes.

I think it's for NMs, yeah.

I was looking forward to leveling (Soloing) Dancer this morning when I woke up, but my dreams were shattered yet again as I logged in right at this was starting

[Eratosthenes]

One of the things they're probably doing is making it so I can't get all the NPC soldiers to kill nearby non-conquest mobs because they like assisting my pet for some reason.

[Octavious]

I have been leveling SCH so I can't really contribute to the DNC discussion, but when I did duo with my friend Attila on DNC...I found it rather nice to have Drain Samba so we could duo tougher mobs without -as much- downtime as usual. I hope they fix up some things with the new expansion that seem to be released "too soon."

For example, getting demolished by Campaign monsters that happen to link with the non-campaign mobs you are fighting is not very fun >.> especially when it's like 1,000,000 Orc. I also noticed some wierd actions in KSNM's lately too. In a few double dragonian runs yesterday, we quickly burned the WAR Dragon, then the BRD Dragon -for some reason- took 0<100 damage from about 10-12 nukes...and it's not because we're really gimp either...as we've (The group of BLMs) have done that BC many times over before.

Worst Case, SE is increasing the rate that Gnole Claw drop >.> forget that one in three hours crap...or maybe my luck just sucks... ; ;

rofl I was wondering why I magically wasn't logged in anymore when I got back from lunch break Q_Q

[Solarus]

I wonder what will be fixed I am very excited.

My guess: Campaign battles will give XP at a slowed rate after the maintenance. Players enjoying themselves while gaining XP is clearly an emergency. I come, come on, its the only place in the game you -gain- XP for dying. I'll be shocked if it doesn't get nerfed.

I die more in Besieged, and gain exp for it. I think my record was 20 deaths in 1 Besieged.

Most like it's taking them 2 hours to remove the 20 fire elementals in past Windy.
