Crapload of updates

[Malacite]

Super late, hella tired, just wanted to let people know that SE just enabled direct-payment for XI and XIV finally, as well as a slew of job adjustments for XI and a revision to healing magic potency.

Thanks, Mal. I'm sure Yyg will post it in a little while and act as if you never did.

Voidwatch adjustments: [dev1075] Voidwatch Adjustments

As part of a continued overhaul of healing potency, the calculation of certain bonuses will be adjusted as follows:

Current Method
The following enhancements stack with each other for a combined bonus of no more than fifty percent:
"Cure" potency + / Potency of "Cure" effect received + / "Waltz" potency + / Potency of "Waltz" effect received +
Revised Method
(1) "Cure potency +" and "Waltz potency +" will stack for a maximum bonus of fifty percent.
(2) "Potency of Cure effect received +" and "Potency of Waltz effect received +" will stack for a maximum bonus of thirty percent.
(1) and (2) may then stack for a maximum bonus of ninety-five(*) percent.

*The final value will be calculated in two stages, with (2) applied to the enhanced value of (1), allowing for a total bonus greater than the sum of the two percentages.

Casting times for the following spells will be reduced as follows:
Esuna: Reduced from 3 seconds to 1.
Sacrifice: Reduced from 1.5 seconds to 1.
Blindna: Reduced from 3 seconds to 1.
Cursna: Reduced from 3 seconds to 1.

Casting times for the following ninjutsu will be reduced as follows:
Monomi: Ichi: Reduced from 4 seconds to 1.5.
Tonko: Ichi: Reduced from 4 seconds to 1.5.

After receiving plenty of helpful feedback from our customers, we have worked these past few months to implement new payment options for billing. First we introduced additional payment methods for purchasing Crysta, then user-specified amounts of Crysta, and now we're pleased to announce that customers can directly enter credit and debit card information to handle subscription payments. To access the new payment options, simply log into the Square Enix Account Management System!

We hope these new features help to make the FINAL FANTASY XI experience as fun and rewarding as possible.

How many months did it take them to get their billing process back to where it started? That's just sad.

lol @ SE trying to make Healer's Roll worth a damn with those healing updates. They really need to get a clue.

I'm still waiting for the update that will make those terrible healers out there auto-cast Cure III instead of Cure VI when you're down 100HP.

Re: Crapload of updates

There's also an adjustment being made in the config menu that will allow you to pick "expanded" or "compact" macro pallet sizes. I like that.

At least they changed Automaton AI to do that.

You can't patch stupidity.

Kind of…from what I understand (possibly read from update) the puppet just switches off between V and VI. But a step in the right direction at least.

On that note… I must say I LOVE the changes they made to puppet casting. Only used the whm so far but awwww it’s such an improvement.

Re: Crapload of updates

I could have sworn I'd seen mine cast Cure IV... but I may have been seeing things. I've been skilling non stop and hardly paying much attention while I do it.

Speaking of which...

[Romyro]

Re: Crapload of updates

I have not seen mine cast below that when it has MP. But then again, if you go yellow HP in abyssea, you need V or VI to top you off lol.

I have seen Cure V followed by VI, so obviously SOMETHING was adjust. At the end of the day though, that was one of my least cares about the puppet AI. Cure VI was fine…better to be safe. It was when it casting Blinda or some shit over cure that got me.

Nothing more frustrating having 50hp as Pup/dnc and the puppet casting Silena on you…dumbass machine.

Re: Crapload of updates

Yeah. From the way the pupdate reads, the AI was adjusted to prioritize curing over status removal. They adjusted cures to be decided upon based on the remaining HP of the target. They also seem to have made it so that the order of priority goes MASTER>Automaton>Everyone else in the party.

Nice adjustments indeed.

Re: Crapload of updates

Finally! Direct charge. Now I just need to wait till next billing cycle to see if my card doesn't have any problems, then I'll just close my C&B account.
