We were joking...

[ShuttleXpC]

Iron Anvil II = 241exp... (1 star)

Yay! It's back to what it was pre-patch. I can only assume they adjusted the base to be the base with 1 star ...

EDIT: Done another. 241exp again

oh, 783 notes for both attempts. Spamming another 5 times, will report.

These are my favorite missions, easy as hell for the AN they give.

[Maxxthepenguin]

Now footwork makes MNK an even better chariot tank and a viable source of extremely low TP feeding melee DD for other things.

Good stuff.

[Pharaun]

Just finished getting the previously unattainable Hawkeye and Slaughterhouse missions, all 1-star rating.

Hawkeye II: 190/683
Hawkeye III: 291/884
Slaughterhouse II: 241/783
Slaughterhouse III: 341/984

Not sure what those were giving pre-6/09 or before today's patch, but that's as good as my Material Storm III spam before all the patches, and with only 1 star. Seems they're worth it again, if not worth even more.

Looks like they went back to normal, I used to spam Slaughterhouse III before the nerf and it would give 340/980. Nice to know, thanks for the info since I'm stuck at work and can't check for myself.

[The Stig]

Finished spamming Iron Anvil II. Got 241 EXP/783 notes each time. No change. All 1 star.

Back to normal now, so it's spammable even at its lowest level.

[aurik]

hooray time to level puppetmaster again.

Also, who didn't see my obvious and painful jealousy of mnks because they are 900% better than lolpups.

fixed

ontopic: the recast thing is nice, not messing with the damage is good, and use of haste and /nin is going to be a boon, people hate keeping me alive when I'm anything but /nin

Are all MNKs this idiotic?

Mnk makes you dumb.

I remember the happy idiocy I enjoyed leveling Monk to 57.

<Party> Uh oh, we got a link!
<Me> I know how to fix this!
<Party> Really, how?
<Me> PUNCHING!
<Party> /facepalm

Unfortunately this situation has happened to me with quite a few MNKs over the years...

It's good to see that the JA was 'fixed' somewhat. I am curious if it can now be an even more effective tank on chariots.

More facts / interesing data / etc.

And where are the ninja fixes?

[Gwynplaine]

I guess I'll be that guy who comments on the chocobo stuff. They added yet another npc for it in cities. First race is "Duelers Race" vs 1sheep. It costs 25 CBs. Mob can use "Sheep Charge" which is just speed boost. Winning awards 5k Gil .

After that they offered "Survival Race" for 30 CBs. 7 competitors that are a bunch of mobs. Winning awards 7.5k Gil. There are more races but it doesn't offer them atm so I guess there's a day wait or something. Woopteedoo~

And anyways yay for Ops fixing.

[Frenzy]

In cities?

When then does their update note say Circuit? Grr, SE.

[Antithesis]

Does anyone know if the frequency of "City" Campaign battles has been adjusted somewhat to be lower than it was before this update? Freaking city campaign battles started like once every 2 minutes >.< hard to do Ops like that lol.

[Bakthi]

The allied forces seem to be doing a bit better already, but Windurst still completely refuses to try to retake West Sarutabaruta [S], and I just don't know why. I guess it's because the city gets attacked almost constantly, but half of the NPCs just sit there anyway...I recently discovered that some deploy in front of the MH, which is even worse than the ones at the Ops counter. San d'Oria is making good progress getting Ronfaure back, so I'm not sure what the deal is.

[Raylinn]

Monks: Solving problems by kicking them since 2008.

Fixed? >.<

[Septimus]

What the fuck is the point of Field Woundtenders if they all die withing 2 minutes of the fucking Campaign beginning?

Seriously, shit is still fucked up. Fix it, you dicks.

And while you are at it, prevent people from just spamming songs and/or BRD songs at the CA over and over again for point.

[Izzy]

Elitist much?

Hi, welcome to BG.

If you think a ton of people whined about Campaign Ops having a lower minimum exp, imagine how many would whine about bitch about not being able to cheese the hell out of real campaign.

This shit pisses me off more than anything

[Robert]

so easy to bot, <3 beastmen controlled campaigns automating it makes it easy to get 75 afk in just under a month from the 40s

The nation strategy settings might have something to do with their behavior. Maybe players need to go to the NPC in the past that takes opinions, and select some more offensive tactics in the survey.

Yup, I'm at the end of today's currently available races as well. Both currently available races were subtitled as "Passhow Swamptrot", and I'm guessing other zones will be available (Which may finally make use of other weather effects besides Sunny and Rainy).

The opponents were a mix of other Chocobos and mobs -- in my case, there was also a Rarab (Uses Dust Cloud speed-up move), a Dhalmel (Healing Breeze AoE that appears to affect other monsters, maybe Stamina boost), Flytrap (Slow-down attack), and a Sheep like in the first race. Monsters appear to be able to use their special moves multiple times in a single race.
