Im doing this in hopes enough people ask that they decide to keep the feature.
It could work, Every little bit helps.
Post this on Linkshell Forums if you care, alla, Killingifrit, everywhere, maybe we'll get enough people.
Hell if someone can post it on a popular Japanese FFXI website Forum that'd be great too!
Thank You those who care about it, for those who dont please just ignore the post

glitch.

ps2 will hang for about 5-30 seconds when zoning.

[Leylana]

My sister plays on pc and is having this same issue.

[Coolmints]

Wing egg can be dbox to another character, though it is rare/ex. Would be great if it is a feature.

Doing Jugner campaign - automaton names are showing up when targeted initially with a green name and no owner (like an NPC would when not allied tags), then they intermittently change back to the light blue of a pet with owner text.

My jug pet was also showing as recieving HP when hitting a mob during campaign (getting the samba drain animation but I had chat log filtered) when I was unpartied as BST/WHM but a DNC was hitting the mob.

Please stop calling this a glitch

On note:

Yah its been reported Pets are recieving DNC Sambas, which everyone thought was a good thing, i hope you do too... you better...

But they seem to be fixing this so called "Inconvenience" in the coming Patch.
I really think they just hate Pet jobs as a whole, none of them ever get any love

[Naash]

I found something that appears to be broken.

During the Dancer Limit 5 quest, it appears that approximately 7 min 30 seconds into the battle (happened twice) the NPC says the dialog "Enought of this" and gets the ability to use dancing edge without TP requirements. Furthermore, based on the other genkai fights, you should get the full 10 minutes before the NPC goes into a rage mode. Ill investigate further. If anyone else has had a similar problem please post here.

Would that really be a glitch? In the RDM Maat version of the genkai 5 fight, he will start spamming Asuran Fists after 6-7 minutes of fight no matter what, even though the fight is supposed to be 10 minutes long. At least it was like that back when I did it.
The fact that this comes after a line makes me think it's intended...

I think its after you use something life Perfect Dodge, apparently theres something screwwy with him.
If you use Perfect Dodge he'll spawm Asuran fists until he hits, which is crap.
I never lasted more then 1 min in a maat fight so i wouldnt know about the time limit >_<

Many hate issues with campaign:

Pets getting aggro like players,
If a mob links on pet and the pet attacks the add the master gets on add's hate list (I.E. when the pet dies the added mobs comes after you), also if an AoE tp move hits other mobs they'll all have the master on their hate list (this isn't happening outside of campaign)

Another glitch, but this also happened before the patch, campaign mobs seems to have party aggro, and this gets extended to people in your party WITHOUT tags. Happened more than once to have a friend going AFK and getting attacked by campaign mobs without acting (not even resting) on them.

Ah, that explains the "bug" I'm seeing then. While tabbing around midbattle I'd sometimes hit an odd green name NPC, but before I could look and see what it was, it vanished. I'm guessing /ignorepet kicks in when the name color changes and I lose the target.

It is a glitch that pets receive the samba effect even if the dancer isn't in the same party or alliance. I don't think you can argue with that, since it certainly doesn't happen for PCs. Of course the way SE's announcement is worded, they consider pets getting samba at all to be a glitch, which is lame.

[Jyoshi]

i dont know if it was a glitch or something due to lag, but i was at a 90+ people jugner campaign and i hit 71 on my pld. i turn in my tag and talk to the npc to warp me home. a person in my party with a tag got aggrod and killed. then it went after me forcing a skipped event. the lag was so horrendous and i died. i HP losing 4k exp and my lvl. was i supposed to be hit by that mob even if i did no actions and had no tags?

[Priran]

i HP losing 4k exp

lol wut

[Jyoshi]

i HP losing 4k exp

lol wut

i home pointed losing 4k exp. isnt it 40k from 71-72? i may be wrong, havent logged in yet to check.

edit: crap, theres a cap on lost exp right? well, whatever it was, thats what i lost and still deleveld ;/

[Olo401]

Here's one I don't think has been mentioned yet..

I'm currently SCH11/WHM5 - with Light Arts active, but not using Addendum: White, Poisona that is available from my subjob is greyed out (I'm assuming this will be the case for all the Addendum spells). This could be deliberate, I don't know.. if it is it's kinda dumb to lock out spells you'd normally have.

Edit: With Light Arts not active Poisona is still greyed out. Now assuming it will not be available at all until I use Light Arts and Addendum: White.

[Byrthnoth]

Poisona is level 6 WHM. You lose 8% of the xp it would take to get to your next level when you HP (about 3.2k at level 71.) Campaign monsters do follow normal agro mechanics as far as I have seen, and if your friend in the party did any kind of aggressive action on the campaign mob (or it just happened to be looking in your direction when he died) then it's reasonable it would come hit you.

Last night I charmed a leech in Toraimarai Canal and it decided to take the long way around, so I released it and found another. Then two leeches came out of nowhere and killed me. I'm 95% sure I didn't agro them, so WTF at that shit. It was like they linked with my pet when it was released out of range. Ghey.

There's still no menu fix and now the "Lobby server" for Garuda won't let me log in. Even if it does, the "Area Server" won't let me in either. Not to mention the 20 second black screen load times every time I zone.

[Tiesto]

I don't know if it's new or even a glitch, but a Fortification just didnt depop in Eldieme Necropolis [S] so you could it attack even after the Campaign Battle was over.
It was basically free skillup.
Now another battle has started but I g2g to work.

[Ivana]

You lose 8% of the xp it would take to get to your next level when you HP (about 3.2k at level 71.)

Exp loss is capped at 2.4k

[Wilimac]

I been having problems with normal city Signets. Go to get it they say the line when they use it but freezes for about 1 min that does the animation. During the freeze you cant move, cant deseleted or esc out.

My main problem areas: Bastok, Jeuno, Valkurm signet npcs.

[toqabowl]

since this emergency update, I cant retrace anyone(cant retrace myself due to not having WotG), I stay in casting animation and it takes my MP.

I was able todo it fine before that update.

said to check my files, but thay were all fine
