Pun intended?

Err ... no. But nice catch.

Except for Leviathan and Odin, apparently, which are extended another 4 hours (according to the official site).

Unfortunately I still have 3:40 of download (on broadband).

WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY . Well I guess I'll play tomorrow morning, staying home because I'm sick.

* The teleportation service in past Vana'diel requiring payment in Allied Notes has been expanded to cover the following destinations:
Garlaige Citadel [s] / Crawlers' Nest [s] / Eldieme Necropolis [s]

Finally SE makes this kind of adjustment soon enough (well, I mean at least it didn't take 6 years this time.) Now let's hope they will do the same with present time zones.

* Composure
(Lv.50 Ability Delay: 5 min. Duration: 2 hrs.)
Increases accuracy and lengthens recast time. Enhancement effects gained through white and black magic you cast on yourself last longer.
-Activating Composure will impose a recast time penalty upon all magic, songs, and ninjutsu.

With the exception of SE "adjusting" the ability later on (/knockonwood) this is looking to be worth the monthly fee for me. (At least for the time being.) Just need to get my token next.

Ok so I zone into Lower Jeuno not knowing you get a cut scene there if you bought the expansion. I get the black screen of DEATH for a long....long....LONG time. I'm thinking "OMFG here goes character #2 down the drain somewhere in FFXI Limbo!! You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!!" But eventually the cs started up and my heart stopped pounding. Wow....I think I would have broken something if it had happened again. lol

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

Yeah.....So I just did campaign.....Sad....Sad.... SE WTF? I think about 65% of the people doing campaign were only fighting the fortification, I'm gonna go with about half of them aren't gonna do it anymore.

Friend: revolutionary change in today's update
Friend: The Delkfutt key may now be obtained as a Key Item.
(At the same time) Feba: Delkfutt's Key is now a key item
Friend: how the hell do you know this?
Feba: I still read FFXI updates you know
Friend: yes and that's a little scary



In other news, Delkfutt's Key, key item, hell yes.

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

I am loving my new job abilities! So much fun, interesting to play with as well. I made a new thread about it in the WHM forums, but man, this update is full of WIN!!!!

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

Sooo, did a 30 min battle in pashhow where no mobs showed up and only thing to hit was fortifications. I got a total of 175 Limit Points. I asked others how they did, and I think one person actually got around 300 while everyone else was < 200. I just don't understand the thinking behind this. Now a lot of people will stop going to zones under beastman control which in turn means those zones will never switch back to nation controlled. Way to go SE. I really would like to know what they were thinking when they decided to make this change. Personally I don't care if I ever hit another fortification for the rest of my life, but send me some damn mobs so I'm not just standing around.

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

Kinda pissed about the Campaign changes, and that the augmentation system is totally random, and I think there was something else but I've only gotten about 6 hours of sleep the past two days and I really don't feel good and it's hard to think.

Oh yeah, lack of new Campaign medals and body armors, at least I think I remember SE saying they'd come in this update.

Otherwise sounds like a nice update, looking forward to hearing about the new stuff for Rdm/Smn/Whm

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

WHM stuff is win! I made a thread about what I found out so far =D

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

Ohh, I'm probably coming off as being too negative. The augmentation system is young yet, so we'll see how it goes. I'm mostly unhappy with the Campaign changes. While I would have liked to have seen the mobs tweaked a bit, maybe something like higher health, lower defense/evasion so that people in the 55-58+ range could gain exp on something other than forts and imps, I considered Campaign to be largely balanced. Well, and the way that magic users gained exp needed adjusting. But besides those issues, and any others I'm forgetting, it was decent. It also provided a good way to gain relatively safely gain skillups without needing a party.

On the positive side of things I'm glad I made it to 65 Blu before these changes since you can rake in some decent exp with the current highest medal through both melee and magic on the mobs.

Re: Version Update Details! (4/8/09)

The skill up thing is balls. There was really no reason for them to nerf us on that one. Skilling up without a party to do it was kinda nice, now you can't, which is lame.
