    Re: The Version Update Is Here! (12/07/2010)

    It's been said before on countless other update threads, but I'll say it again here: SE really needs to work on a better system of getting the update. My laptop on campus here was able to get right on, do the file check and start downloading. However, my desktop at home (second account I'm doing at the same time) is continually running into POL-1160 errors, so either it's not downloading the first information file (50% of the time), or it gets through the first download, the long-ass file check and then can't download patch.txt, which makes the whole thing start over again.

    Seriously... Is there any particular reason it can't be made into some kind of P2P system, like a torrent? Eliminates the "download slots" that seem to occur and are obviously limited, and takes the incredible strain off the SE servers. Hell, it could even work out to be a faster system altogether.

    As far as the update notes, I can't say there's anything particularly bad about them. Drop rate "adjustments" were a little unexpected, though not unwelcome. I'm especially happy I managed to solo my Monkey past weekend for my Cirque Necklace, since it seems they updated the zone to keep people from exploiting the wall in La Theine.

    In any case, can't wait to find those details on the new AF3. Oh, and boo to the BRD adjustment -- I knew it was too good to be true, but we could have hoped.

      Warp/Reraise scrolls = win
      New trials = win
      Sneak/Invis/Deo length = win

      RDM additions =

      This should keep me entertained for a month or so, we'll see how I feel about the game by then.

            Really getting sick of the constant errors & traffic for the download.

            I never had a problem until the last few updates with getting it during maintenance before the servers came. And I mean shit, the update was available around 3 PM EST! So why the hell haven't I been able to finish it yet - _ - never seen issues like this except for the updates that were all past 8 PM.

              I wish update problems were due to millions of eager players trying to download the update at the same time because they just couldn't wait to enjoy exciting new adventures in Vana! \(^-^)/

              But sadly it's only a matter of awful distribution methods.

              Like always. /shrug

                    That's one very nice thing about playing as a married couple. If one of us is jonesing to play, the other understands.

                    ETA: with limited online access (read: most gaming-related sites are blocked) here at work, I can't wander willy-nilly through the intertubes looking for info. What are the new zones in the Heroes of Abyssea expansion?

                        In case you were wondering (and for those like me who don't play)

                        Really, it all makes sense.

                          Managed to update both my computers, finally. Logged in and immediately did the Limit Break, even though I won't be able to do anything for it until Thursday when I get out of school. Was actually kind of fun, but I think I missed out on a lot of things because my graphics have to be toned down on my laptop. Ah well.

                          Also triggered the next trial for my Taipan Fangs +2 (Pet: +10MAB at level 90 FTFW). I'll get the new maws this weekend, and hopefully there will be a lot of good, juicy and usable information on how to get the base body/hands, as well as the upgrade paths.

                          PUP Body +1/+2 looks like it's going to be fairly useful, the new PUP JSE Earring (90) is going to be full-time, no question. Hands look like they could be nice, but I'm not sure how they'd measure to pantin/puppetry. Puppetry will be macro for sure, unless the body has a significant power (which would make Kenkonken almost useless).

                          BRD body and hands are a little disappointing, but I suppose they'll be worth it in any case. Getting the full set will be awesome.

                          Also need to do the job emotes... I've already had to turn on the emote filter because people were being annoying near Maat while I was trying to do the LB.

                            Okay, seriously what the fuck. Been trying to download since 2 PM, it's now after 10 and I still can't even get a solid download going.

                                So when are White Mages going to get something that makes them better than just party padding for Abyssea runs? Still waiting Squeenix, some of us don't care for slavishly sticking to the main seven classes you only seem to want us to play.
