Didn't have any problems with other zoning spells, but I'll give that a shot, thanks.

Put that in the first line of your rules section of your xml, fixes everything. Shouldn't be a space in return, not sure why forums keep putting it there.

Errr... 11 used to be perma and 17 used to be temp. In the Salvage bans I think they used both for perma. You should call them or get on their chat service.

where is the chat service thingy? lol I've been looking all over POL and their shit is so fucking ass-backwards.

It's fucked up lately, don't think it'll display it unless it's during business hours(so 30 more min?). Why'd you get banned anyway?

[Lonoha]

What do you use for DAT-reading/swapping/mining/etc.? If the answer is AltanaView, can you point me to a recently updated list thing?

That, and: for QD, 2AGI equals roughly 1.2M.Acc, right?

That's what I'd like to know.. just geared up BLM after murdering cerby and when I zoned into Aydeewa I got banned right after I casted sneak on myself.

[Dooom]

Didn't you say on the Wizbot thread that you used it for afk crafting and such? I mean, just putting 2 and 2 together here. Wouldn't take much for someone who disliked you to find you doing that and GM call you on it.

[Shenrien]

That shit is not obvious at all if you use it, and most my crafts are done afk at a guild, with a script setup to run and get support when I skill up, I also had a chat detection thingy setup where a loud as ring would go off, and with my speakers up I would hear that anywhere in my house lol, but I wasn't crafting or using wizbot on my character at all that day so hmm.. I'm confused as to what it could be.

I even asked a friend to zone from Halvung to Whitegate, and give me the times it took them to run from runic portal, to mog house, from mog house to Bhaflau Thickets, and from Bhaflau Thickets to Aydeewa, just to see if I had been running fast and not even noticing I had the program up, but taking 2-4 minutes to zone in between all that, is more then enough time for the servers to not even catch anything, >_> I'm guessing someone reported me about something stupid, probably the butt hurt BLM that was down in Aydeewa that I kept killing mobs faster then they could and running out of shit to kill so I went and took the mobs on their side of the room lol

[Dooom]

Fair enough, I've never used a program like that, just strikes me that a few days after the Wizbot list comes out, people who dislike someone on that list may be looking for "opportunities" to use it, as it were.

And then they may or may not tell you that you're perma-banned. Did they tell you why?

[sruon]

Did they say anything about investigation? Because the "you'll relog in jail" is just their transcript shit.

Still have to pass investigation but if it's your first infraction (did they even tell you what it was?) you /should/ be fine.

[Shenrien]

And then they may or may not tell you that you're perma-banned. Did they tell you why?

"could not disclose that information" which is just an alternative way of saying you're fucked lol, can't wait until friday >_> gonna be an eventful day.

[Byrthnoth]

Naw, I wouldn't interpret it that way. It probably means that they don't know why you were 3-day banned. I get a pretty strong feeling the SE's internal communication is just as good as their communication with their playerbase.

[Shenrien]

:\ they should at least be able to read the notes on the account, when I had called the other day because I got a really fucked up message in game telling me to.

http://i44.tinypic.com/15wfjwk.png

when I had called they said they couldn't even see the reasoning behind the message being sent to me, so I called a GM and they couldn't even figure it out, so I had to wait for a SGM to contact me, and still they were like what the fuck? The thing the SGM told me it could have been was because I had called about getting a few items restored, and all tho I was told 'nope we can't do that' yesterday, he said someone fucked up and figured they would send me a message just further reminding me of shit that can't be fixed.

D: SE likes to break peoples hearts, not once but twice apparently lol

DRK Merits..

Desperate Blows 5/5

I'm confused - i thought the general concensus was any more than 3/5 desperate blows was a waste due to hasso and d/blows not stacking.

I notice no one has disputed this suggestion of 5/5 or 4.5.. Has the concensus changed?

[Tsuko_Asura]

Depends on the player, IMO. If you find yourself in a lot of situations /NIN, DB merits become significantly more useful.

[Raen Ryong]

5/5 also means you can use Seigan with it if necessary! It's not that the last 2 are amazing, it's just that they're better then Dark Seal/Muted Soul imo.

[Tsuko_Asura]

If you have to Seigan, may as well just go /NIN :/
