Squenix:" We have discovered that dark knights equipped with Kraken Clubs using Souleater and Blood Weapon are able to defeat Absolute Virtue. This was not how we intended and creates an inbalance. After this update, souleater will only take effect on two handed weapons.

We thank you for your understanding in this matter and wish you the best of luck in finding the secret to defeating Absolute Virtue."

The rumor is they're fixing AV. Consider the last week a freebie.

They better not "fix" shields. Someone @ BG put up a screeny of a shield block on Tiamat (critical hit no less) for 0 dmg.

Re: All Worlds Maintenance (Sep. 16)

This is the part where I mention SE chose precisely the day I'm off work to do their maintenence.




PS > Followed by: I wouldn't be playing the game on my day off at that hour anyway.

PPS > Mal I'm of the idea that it was better back in the day when Shields blocked full dmg, even if the proc rate wasn't good.

Re: All Worlds Maintenance (Sep. 16)

This is the part where I also mention it falls on my day off.

Also followed by: I probably won't even be up by then as I intend to sleep in very late to make up for lost sleep on 12 hour shifts.

Then followed by: I had planned to work on my crafting on LotRO anyway mostly this week.

lolAV fixes.

Re: All Worlds Maintenance (Sep. 16)

We should start a club.

By the way is LotR good? I've been really bored of XI lately, so my patience for enduring time sink after time sink has gone down to zero.

Heck I got grumpy just having to backtrack from my home point in Sandy (Present) all the way to G. Citadel [S] just a few mins ago so, I just couldn't bare to play anymore and logged out.

And I certainly don't have the patience to lvl blm just for retrace.

I always have terrible luck with maintenance so I don't even bother. At least I'm only missing a Prommy run that we probably would have lost anyway. Sucks to be the people who have days off

Do they have catgirls? Do they have foxgirls? I think NOT!!!

And I hear that SE is going to nerf Dynamis drops to compensate for more people starting Dynamis with the lower entry costs.

Re: All Worlds Maintenance (Sep. 16)

By the way is LotR good?

Much less unforgiving/timesink-ish... except for Epic Book 13. I swear someone got a XI-bone in them when they devised that one. Entirely too much running around from one side of this huge ass zone to another, where the only fast travel horse available to help is only available after doing some random quest.

It's more casual friendly. Has a lovely storyline, nice graphics, and it's fun to play. I've heard some people here moan about hitting buttons to do your attacks, but I don't see any difference between that and what I do on my summoner anyway. Just loads of macros. R/L1, X, R/L2, X. Rinse and repeat. Still plenty of 'strategy' and 'skill' (what little can be said for any game) to be needed. Still idiots who can't play, and those who shine.

I like both, but when I get annoyed as piss at XI, I go to LotR to relax.
