FFXI Version Update (9/08/10)

[sruon]

Did they really copy paste Campaign or am I hallucinating?

[Odin'sLaw]

Bubu is to Attohwa near Shakrami entrance, Valk for Misereaux next vortex to Lufaise and Jugner near the zoneline to Vunkerl prolly, or Carpenters..
either way i suppose its only because of where to zones are situated...

odd time to ask this but why is Vunkerl called that in the past and Davoi in the present?

[Odin'sLaw]

So much for soloing for AF3 I guess.

BUT THE JESTERS CAPS GOOD SIR!

Davoi is not called Vunkerl in the past. It's called La Vaule. "La Vaule" is the name of the monastery/town the orcs took over, "Davoi" is what they renamed it.

[eotfofyl]

Thoughts on what the new limit break quest could be? 3 limits points and some kindred seals again would be sweet...

[ronin sparthos]

I didnt expect them to put augmented items into the pool otherwise that would have been done as far back as FoV. From a programming standpoint there must be a reason that all augmented items are loaded from chests.

Campaign in Abyssea... eh this is going to be problematic as visitant isnt easy to come by but perhaps TEs will be changed in the new zones or something. Sup 30min time boxes? One can dream.

Presto being fixed is good, shit was not working as intended though the apologists would have you believe otherwise.

[Alkar]

Where else could they put it without requiring CoP? Rolanberry technically I guess, but that zone already has a maw too.



I believe the assumption is that there won't be any kick boots better than Poise. We'll see.

Well what about Vunkerl? There's no maw there and Scars requires WotG anyway. It seems stupid to avoid Tahrongi for Abyssea - Attohwa and add a second maw to Jugner.

[Kaslo]

i think to a "point" blue magic skill effects healing and of course magically based spells

I was mainly meaning spells with definite "caps" that would really be effected with the change here. Oh yeah probably the Drain/Aspir spells as well (MP Drainkiss, Digest, Blood Saber)

You're thinking of La Vaule, but essentially it was an Elvaan monastery before it was attacked, taken over, and renamed by the Orcs.

[Cantih]

Don't forget that THF has a Triple attack job trait. Do the math there.

I don't need too, THF is my main and I've had full triple attack merits for years. And as such, I've paired it with DW2 for years. It's not broken.
And /NIN will give DW3 next update anyway, may as well give THF at least native DW2.

[Gwynplaine]

Note that it sounds like abyssites might allow max stones carried to go to 5.

*The key items for increasing your carrying capacity may be obtained, one each, in the following add-ons:
Vision of Abyssea / Scars of Abyssea

[Kaslo]

Well what about Vunkerl? There's no maw there and Scars requires WotG anyway. It seems stupid to avoid Tahrongi for Abyssea - Attohwa and add a second maw to Jugner.

Probably because Abyssea takes place in a parallel universe to the present, not the past.

[LinkNZ]

How long generally is it till they add the 'check file' thing?

[Dooom]

I don't know.....would you really want a retard/noob getting a refresh haripin cause he lots a 990?

Most groups I've been in will /random for items from chests anyway, so no change there. Adding them to pool lessens the chance of someone swiping it from a chest without proper notice, be they box bitch or just some selfish bastard.

I realize most people could give two shits about the storyline but really

[Spira]

If empyreon armor can be obtained solely based upon effort you put into gaining points I will be ecstatic. There's probably more to it than that or some kind of catch though.

Good stuff in there I guess. We shall see. Honestly they should just cut out this pointless maw business and just have the npc warp you to the abyssea zone you choose.

watch it be doing Bastion for AF3 pieces, and then u'd need to augment them like with Magian trials.. but different trials will require you to do different shit like kill NMs

[Spira]

How long generally is it till they add the 'check file' thing?

depends.. usually an hour...

but the servers are getting hammered apparently. can't even connect to do that

yup i was stupid nightquil

[lolwut]

"Maximum values have been increased for certain enhancing magic, dark magic, and blue magic spells whose potency is commensurate with casting skill."

These notes have me so psyched for Stoneskin/Phalanx/Enspells being recapped based on skill. If they make them scalable and not just hard capped slightly higher it would be an amazing amount of win.

It looks like they disallowed check files during updates now, sadly. Means no .dat mining unless it's just my PC being ghey.
