[Kimiko]

Ok, who broke the forums?

Yeah getting a lot more sub-100 Aspirs than I would like but that is SE for you.

EDIT: That is on TW mobs too.

[Mistress Stowastiq]

Ok, who broke the forums?

Buttons are appearing as text and also I went straight to some odd front page when I logged into the forum from my bookmarks.

I thought it was my firefox since it has been wonky since I patched it the other day but apparently it is the forums?

Also to your aspir post above this one, from the update notes:

Also to your aspir post above this one, from the update notes:

Pretty sure Kimiko and everyone else here knew that was getting patched well before they said anything about it. She's just complaining that they actually did it, and I don't blame her one bit. I'm guessing maybe they did it to prevent abuse via Manifestation, but seriously, if that was a concern, they should have just considered a potency penalty based on the number of mobs targeted with the spell.

'course, I say that, and next there's going to be an update imposing that and it'll also affect Sleep, and everyone will work on having me murdered in my sleep.

So shared timers on some of the new JAs are "working as intended".

[Karbuncle]

So shared timers on some of the new JAs are "working as intended".

I guess, /sigh fuck

Apparently Despoil shares a timer with Steal, Accomplice, and Collaborator.

[Serra]

Nothing on jump/spirit jump either.. If they don't change that, there's gonna be no reason to use spirit jump, especially since it doesn't take into account merits in jump >.>;

[Darkmagi]

Seriously? What a useless JA.

[xerodok]

Half this shit is still broke.

[Karbuncle]

Seriously? What a useless JA.

Actually i was looking on Wiki the page has been updated, apparently some dumbass was using the Recast plugin and didn't notice it was glitched Recast not the game, so it only shares a timer with Steal.

Secondly, apparently the "Steal" pool of items is changed, mostly able to steal food... apparently able to steal Sole Sushi from yagudo Nokizaru(W/e) in Castle O (S).

I'm okay with this, i'm sad we don't get two steals and SE finds steal so broken it needs to share a timer but at the same time being able to steal Sushi off of Beastmen is nice >.> fuck bringing food, /yoink > Eat > Repeat.
