Cure glitch, pretty funny to see Undead getting hit for 9999.

They made cure spells do 99,999 damage to undead. idk how they screwed that one up but apparently it's some way that takes over four hours to fix.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

From what I have read, they claim a full restart is 2 hours (this may be completely wrong, I'm just re posting).

I'm sad I didn't get to go hand out some BLM/WHM punishment while the glitch was still there.. Even on /WHM people's cures could one-shot a large amount of undead.

GoV Curaga Parties anyone?

Probably the lowered resistance to elements after a skillchain change didn't take cures in to consideration so when a cure gets cast on something it will hurt, the target's resistance gets set insanely low or something.

Identify, fix, test, deploy, test. The issue is large enough that the game has to be taken down for the whole process.

Someone probably forgot to put a decimal point in somewhere.

Oh fair enough, but that doesn't make me not butthurt and yes I recognize that is the problem.

I'm just mad that I didn't go one shot Kharon a bunch of times for freaking Mavi head seals.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Ehh we probably should wait for Myefe to do that. Maybe we can sucker some people into doing Emperador de Altepa for body seals.

I suspect their source code is utterly incomprehensible at this stage of the game, based on some of the excuses that have been dropped over on the official forums. Spaghetti code etc.

You've never worked with a large, evolving codebase have you?

They all turn into spaghetti until it is simply discarded and replaced.

it's some way that takes over four fucking seven hours to fix.

This is me NOT closing the [butthurt] tag
