Mar. 11, 2008 (JST) Update Details

[Schultz]

I'll be happy if the new SAM JA is less than 5 minutes. Although, that will probably make everyone bitch like no fucking tomorrow... WHERE THE FUCK ARE MY GOD DAMN FUCKING NIN JAs!?

Well, we do want a useful 2HR as well. Think about those boss fights when someone calls... dump your 2HR's into it... and you have these NIN's just standing there tanking going.... *fuck* ;; -- NIN's want to have some fun too... Blowing up every 2HR's gets boring, not to mention unhealthy for exp parties

[Punishment]

I'm pretty sure the zerg nerf is only to counter the haste addition from Dancer's roll. (lolguessing) Kraken DRK's will remain unaffected I believe.

[Neosutra]

They had 4 months to tweak all this stuff, why did PLD/RDM/MNK get left out of the great job adjustment update?

Sentinel, Rampart and Auto-Refresh and you're still bitching?

I wouldnt be bitching if they didnt say "hey we're going to give you a spell to counter physical attacks in the next update" and then didnt.

Its like your girlfriend having sex with you, then saying "wait right there, im going to get my sister to come and join in with us for round 2", and you wait there and she never comes back. I mean sure your glad you got some nice hot sex, but you want the rest of what you were promised.

AND I hope the exclusion of Nyzle Relics was a typo and we find them in the .dats or someone is gonna burn.

[Seigfried Of Pandy]

The new thief job ability “Collaborator” has been introduced:
Collaborator
Steals 25% of the target party member's enmity and redirects it to the thief.
*This ability shares a recast time with “Accomplice,” a thief ability introduced in the previous version update.

If this is a pre 37 ability I could see it in certain situations making /thf a viable tank option.


*note* the update states new blu magic, but the table of added game terms fails to list them.

i think thats probably the point, i dont think they would just make a toned down version of an existing JA. its like if berserk was a higher level JA and SE then just made a new version which gave you less attack and less defense loss

[Raineer]

Anyone gonna be mining? (Apologize in advance if this has been addressed, this thread is going fast)

I will be.

Check files went through, found 259 files changes. However, connecting to download this is being an issue.

[Toralin]

hi2u BLM/SCH and WAR/NIN even more easily tanking in salvage

[FinalJustice]

When receiving weapon-enhancing spell effects from other party members, the additional damage caused will depend on the caster’s enhancing magic skill. Magic accuracy for these spells has also been adjusted.

Hmmm, am I the only one who kinda likes this? But then again.. atm i cant think of any who can cast en spells on mobs besides Ramuh? and he doesnt have enhancing skill O_O Is tehre tier II party targetable enspells in the works?

[Zekyr]

Finding new Haste cap as soon as we can log in... if you cant find it in the .dat's I'll let you know what it is asap >.<

my guess is DNC roll is the haste roll and SE put the haste cap up to prevent some hundredfists action or so

I'd like to hope they just hardcoded the cap at 93.3% or whatever it was, but I'm pretty cure COR rolls would add haste to magic component of total haste (like haste samba), which is actually already very easily capped with SV march x2 (goes way past the 43.3% magic cap iirc) so that wouldnt really have a point since nothing would push it any higher than the current max. About the only reason they'd have to change something would be if, as you said, something new enabled a higher cap, or if they wanted to lower the max, which is what everyone is assuming.

[Sirrus]

Somewhat lackluster info for the Wyvern Update.

New Blue spells though;

Hell yeah, give us more hate tools so we can save the ePeen DD's :D Nah I don't think PLD needs much more, but would be nice to have something new, JA wise that's available to lower levels.

As far as RDM and MNK, yes bitching is fucking justified. These jobs haven't been specifically touched in literally years yet SE doesn't hesitate to add another 8 inches to a SAM's cock every update.

Gotta agree with that, hell buff something or nerf something, do SOMETHING lol.......

Really though, i don't know how you adjust melee and don't break our already broken soloing. You don't want to get buffed 1 step then nerfed 3 backwards.

[Darkwill]

Hmm. The German Update Notes say that the Haste limit has been raised

What do Japanese and French say?

That's from French PoL

Le total cumulé de l'effet "Hâte" obtenu par la magie, les aptitudes ou les objets est maintenant limité.

Word to word it's: The total cumulated effect of Haste obtained by magic, abilities or items is now limited.

As soon as I saw this I imagined RDM got some kind of crazy En-party-spell effect but only if they melee..

Then I scrolled down......

You miss understood me, but it was my fault. That ellipsis was me trailing off, not giving an example of bitching. E.G. I'm pissed they left out the NIN JAs.

[travOtaku]

- An accuracy bonus will now be applied to “Steps” when dancer is set as the main job.
- The durations of the job abilities “Haste Samba,” “Aspir Samba II,” and “Drain Samba III” have been increased.

:nikkei: :nikkei: :nikkei: :nikkei:

Thank GOD! I *HATED* having a COR's ACC boost, and +40 ACC on my own and then whiffing 5 steps in a row...

And now I can spam Dancing Edge even more since I don't have to spam Haste Samba every minute and lose out of 35 TP :D

DNC AF better be good, and yay for DNC getting Raparee! :D I knew I was right to farm that shit early!

[Eander]

I know it's incredibly unlikely, but if they give SCH Refresh under Add:White, I'm going to fucking IMPLODE.

[S N K]

Going to be searching for those unclaimed NMs. I'm hoping Sandworm will actually have a drop in his pool now.
