All Worlds Maintenance (Dec. 17)

[Seraph]

I don't know if it's been said anywhere, but I've noticed strange behavior on some monsters and the distance they seem to link. It could be the incredible amount of EXP i was doing last weekend (yay for winter break) but I swear there were some 'wtf' moments when out of nowhere a random mob runs up and links. Ah, and I think someone mentioned this but mobs in Xarcabard (Eyes Specifically) would appear, blaze spikes, then disappear. I don't like David Blaine screwing with my Mobs. >_>;

I was noticing in Xarcabard that paralyzed initial actions on a mob were providing claim on that monster. For example, I flashed one of the eyes, and the move was paralyzed. However, the eye went red, but did not engage me. It went yellow about 5 seconds later. My other party member also saw it. This happened twice in one night, so i dont think it was a fluke. I do not recall the mechanics normally working like this, or do they?

This always happens. If the mob you're casting on in Dynamis/Einherjar goes out of range during the cast, this also happens.

I noticed this in Beaucidine too... maybe I am crazy but we were doing FoV and they seemed to link for much farther than normal.

As long as they fix the delay issue on guns/xbows I'll be happy with the update.

Seriously... Peacemaker was painful to watch go off >_>

* An issue where Marinara Pizza was too fucking awesome has been adressed.
Sorry for the inconvenience this may have caused.

It's good, but only for dual-wielders. MNK, NIN, THF and Axes/Swords WAR will like it for sure.

Yeah pulling in Dyna sucks, I love to pull with acid bolts then shoot everything with acid bolts for def down, but now I'm using my ungur boomer till this crap is over.

P.S. - Izzy your sig is hilarious. I laugh at it for like 10 mins straight before I scroll down to the next post.

Didn't get intimidated from wearing crimson, did you?

Pretty sure its MMM, aswell as a few fixes

This has happened to me a few times when I pull mba with magic and they go out of range, bothers me whenever it happens

I hope they add an NPC to sell our ra/ex Tuxedos ^^; I see people making a mint selling the craftable ones, and they look nice, but we had a wedding 3 years ago and I want my cheap pretty gear for my husband ^^;

edit: I wonder if they would give the option to people who had a wedding before to buy the wedding dress if they didn't... That might be nice, if you didn't buy it at the time to be able to get one now while the new NPC is around.

I had heard from some people in my LS that if you GM call, you can get one for the usual 50K cost.

I was going to try it the other night but had to leave. I think I'll go ahead and do it now and post back here with the answer.

Spoiler: show

I'm actually hoping they fix this weird frequent FFXI-4002 error that keeps popping up lately.

Apparently it's been affecting a lot of people. Basically, when you log on, you'll be okay for about 5-20 minutes until you suddenly get the red disconnect icon of death on your character, can't do anything for about a minute, then get the 4002 error and disconnect from FFXI.

I've been getting it all of a sudden today and to say the least it's a bit of an annoyance. Happened to me at least 6 times or so just tonight, and this has never happened to me before either.

Anyone else been experiencing these weird, constant 4002 errors?

I hope MMM actually works this time.

(First technical post, hi everybody!)
I've been getting this for the past couple months. I just figured it was my internet messing up, but that is the error I've been getting. Very annoying ><
