All Worlds Emergency Maintenance (Sep. 11)

[Spekkio]

They should just recruit a small crew of Beta testers worldwide, and give them all Atomos accounts and make them sign NDAs. Maybe a couple hundred NA, JP, and EU ones.

i'd be the first to sign up for that program. if i knew adaman ingots would be used in the next gobbiebag several weeks ahead of time...

[Therin]

i think we'd all love to test stuff out but i think thats the point :/ SE

Doesn't trust us players with "secret info"

Letting anyone onto a test server would a gigantic mistake, with the average IQ of the average FFXI player. >_>

My money is on AF2 drop rate Ninja-fix.

This, since it specifically said not to enter Dynamis. (Unless they always say that?) :/ Bye bye 21 AF Beaus~?

When I was reading along this:

- Automaton, summoned avatar, and Beastmaster's summoned or charmed pet..

My mind was going:

SAMBA EFFECTS? SAMBA EFFECTS? SAMB-- FUCK YOU.

[Callisto]

FUCK I had TP so that I could try Death Blossom as soon as I got home.

also :

"-We are investigating an issue where Aegis relic block rate has been increased unintentionally"

[Finwich]

This, since it specifically said not to enter Dynamis. (Unless they always say that?) :/ Bye bye 21 AF Beaus~?

They always say do not enter limbus, dynamis etc. because people would cry about losing drops when they were DCed for the maintenance.

[Rhealana]

You guys are totally missing the most important part:

- Status icon does not appear correct when Relic Weapon Gungnir's weapon skill "Geirskogul" is used.

YES! Because the 30 fucking players across all servers that have it give a shit about Shock Spikes.

PS. Yes, it's effective for soloing and the occasional stun proc on a hundred-fisting dynamis MNK.

[Guppy]

the POL server on SE's server network is blocking the IPs of KT/LG Telecom ISPs. I ran a test from VA, and it was able to connect, but from my IP it wasn't able to connect.

Interesting, wonder if this means they traced a bunch of hackings to there (and if they're going to start banning proxy providers since that would be the next obvious step for the hijackers).

[Neosutra]

also :

"-We are investigating an issue where Aegis relic block rate has been increased unintentionally"

The block rate wasnt increased, just the damage reduction during blocks.

And wasnt it increased for all shields?

[Skjie]

Damnit, the one day I have to wake up early and waste 3 hours while wife is in class...

[LinktheDeme]

THE JEWS MUST NOT REPEAT THEIR ATTACK OF NINE ELEVEN

I'm discussing this with Sage Sundi 3 years ago.

[MaachaQ]

Ninja-fix the blocking of certain South Korean ISPs. :nyoro~n: (No, it's not an ISP problem because I've run traceroutes, ping tests, and so many other tests on those SE servers; the POL server on SE's server network is blocking the IPs of KT/LG Telecom ISPs. I ran a test from VA, and it was able to connect, but from my IP it wasn't able to connect. My ISP also said if I contacted them one more time, they'd come and shoot my dog.) q w p

I have talked to a few other South Korean players, it seems my ISP is one of few that are still working here. I have Xpeed; Internet, IP Phone, and IP TV bundle. I think a few people are already switching ISPs after I talked to them about it ^^;

No idea why they would block South Korean IPs... there can't be many RMT working here... cost of living here is way too high to be able to live on the salary of the typical RMT sweatshop worker from what I've heard of them... Although, there is a PC Bang in nearly every shopping center, and I've heard of guys spending many many hours a day there, it's possible they could have something funny going on there... I haven't dared set foot in one, hardcore Korean gamers can be scary...

[Eruantalon]

I was really hoping for the fix that wipes all buffs and TP when someone levels. talk about a chain killer. Really hurts when leveling dnc. Pull in a mob right after someone levels and lawl, you have no sambas up, no steps, and no TP.

[Hanyoko]

Nice of them to not fix EXP bands wearing off when the person your level-sync'd with levels...assholes >.>;

So thats what happened last night... yay...

[SamanosukeShiva]

wtf is with this shit, cant they wait till next month???

[Katlan]

They always ninja-edit stuff after each big patch. Lately it's just been camapign related, but since they changed the existing formula so much in this patch I wouldn't be surprised to see changes made to stuff like Dynamis, gear reduced by sync (but I'd think they would mention this since a lot of ppl would like that change)

[Flattus]

wtf is with this shit, cant they wait till next month???

Nah, SE's main goal is to ruin playing time and fun.

[evilpaul]

- Automaton, summoned avatar, and Beastmaster's summoned or charmed pet will no longer leave when Level Sync is activated or when designated player's level increases while Level Sync is activated.

I was quite annoyed when somebody leveled and murdered my poor Bougrion with 15 minutes on Activate left.

I'm not sure why I'm leveling PUP, but with Attuner and Target Marker down to 100k total I figured, why not?

Nice of them to not fix EXP bands wearing off when the person your level-sync'd with levels...assholes >.>;

I was using my Emperor Band and both the Level Synced person and someone who was capped leveled and my EXP enhancement didn't wear off.

They should just recruit a small crew of Beta testers worldwide, and give them all Atomos accounts and make them sign NDAs. Maybe a couple hundred NA, JP, and EU ones.

I would LOVE to get in on that shit. I would abuse the fuck out of the AH on that.

BG needs like a :lynsy: emoticon or something, btw.

EMERGENCY
SEPTEMBER 11


Just thought I'd throw that out there before someone else gets a chance to.

You rang?
