Event-related

- New battle content called Heroines' Holdfast has been introduced.
Screenshot

Read on for details regarding this content.

[dev1125] Voidwatch Adjustments

Screenshot


- It is now possible to skip the cutscene that occurs when zoning from Walk of Echoes to Provenance.
- The acquisition of other rewards will no longer be interrupted when a rare item already in one's possession is among the spoils obtained from a Riftworn Pyxis after selecting "obtain all."
- Enemies' resistance to enfeebling magic has been adjusted.


[dev1131] Legion Adjustments
Screenshot

- It is now possible to reenter a battlefield after being ejected due to all participants having been KO'd.
- In addition, the distance that enemies roam has been adjusted.

- Enemies' resistance to enfeebling magic has been adjusted.

- Fields of Valor and Grounds of Valor Adjustments

- Objectives for the following training regime have been revised:

Ifrit's Cauldron: Page 5

- Potency of the field support effect White Magic: Protect has been increased.

[dev1132] Assault Adjustment
Screenshot
- When moving to the next floor during Nyzul Isle Investigation and Nyzul Isle Uncharted Region, characters will now zone in at different coordinates around the Rune of Transfer.

[dev1133] Einherjar Adjustment

- All rewards procured from the Nashmau (H-7) NPC Kilusha will now be displayed on a single page.

- A new fish may now be cut open in the quest "Inside the Belly."


Battle-related

- The following job-related adjustments have been made:

- White Mage

- The effect of Protect V merit points has been adjusted.
- The value for each point has been modified from DEF+2 to DEF+5


- Bard

- The effect of Knight's Minne merit points has been adjusted.
- The value for each point has been modified from DEF+1 to DEF+2.

[dev1129] The maximum number of upgrades for the attribute merit point category has been raised from twelve to twenty-four.

[dev1093] ]Enfeebling Magic Resistance of Monsters
Screenshot
- A log message now appears when a monster resists an enfeebling spell which enables the player to determine whether a monster possesses complete resistance to a particular type of enfeebling magic.
As long as the monster does not completely resist the effect, it is possible to inflict enfeebling magic upon them. The number of affectable monsters has drastically increased.

- A new system has been added in which using enfeebling magic multiple times will lower the target enemy's resistance. This system is known as "Immunobreak."

- When an Immunobreak occurs after the enemy has resisted a particular enfeebling magic, the resistance of the enemy to that effect will decrease by a certain amount.
- Immunobreaks can stack and continually lower an enemy's resistance.
- The more times the enfeebling magic is resisted, the greater the likelihood that an Immunobreak will occur.
- When the enfeebling effect is successfully applied, the resistance will reset.
- If the effect is continuously applied, the enemy will slowly gain more resistance, and eventually Immunobreaks will no longer occur.
- Note that some monsters have complete resistance to enfeebling effects.
(Immunobreaks will not occur on enemies which have complete resistance.)
Immunobreaks only apply to enfeebling effects (magic abilities based on Enfeebling Magic skill level).

- [dev1128] The following spell effects have been raised:

Screenshot
Protect / Protectra / Protect II / Protectra II / Protect III / Protectra III / Protect IV / Protectra IV / Protect V / Protectra V / Knight's Minne / Knight's Minne II / Knight's Minne III / Knight's Minne IV / Knight's Minne V

- [dev1128] Resistances to the following spells have been changed:

Foe Requiem / Foe Requiem II / Foe Requiem III / Foe Requiem IV / Foe Requiem V / Foe Requiem VI / Foe Requiem VII

- [dev1130] The interval between the conclusion of battle and the next possible time an attack command can be carried out has been adjusted.

- [dev1130] The interval between the time a ranged attack finishes and the next possible time a new command can be carried out has been reduced.

- [dev1130] Guard and Parry Adjustments

- The guard and parry skills have been adjusted so that they may level up even if the skills do not activate when players are attacked.

- A new familiar may now be summoned with the beastmaster ability "Call Beast."
Screenshot

- The beastmaster ability Tame may no longer be used if you already have a familiar out.

Nice, I'll be sure to get mats for a new Earth Staff (that's the one Chatoyant Staff won't rep) when I can catch a Soujii by the tail. (That's the guy I know who has synergy.) Guess I got that hq light staff in time.

Off topic and forgive me if this comes off as retarded...

What is with the increasing use of the word "Le" in the recent months? Is there some other meaning than the French word for "the"? Because "The sigh, too bad about Odin" sounds funky.

#8thegodofwar, Posted: Jul 23 2012 at 12:25 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) In the road map - weapons may now skill up without being swung. It'd be one thing if SE made it so parry/guard skills proc more often, leading to more skill-ups, or even skilled-up more often with the same current proc rate, but to let them skill without proc'ing? Isn't the whole point of skilling up being dependent upon said skills proc'ing?

Yes, well, you can still do Odin 2x as much as you could before they changed it (and without needing to coordinate feather mules), just not the 4x they accidentally made it into. And of course you can still do it twice a week while your ichor supplies last.

I'll reserve judgement on the enfeebling alterations until I've had a chance to go at them properly. Test server just didn't give me a good enough feel for it since nothing actually resisted my enfeebles :p

Its probably just me, but the new icons make the menus look much busier than before. Its harder for me to pick things out from the list. That said, I do like the new icons for weaponskills, makes it easier to differentiate between elemental and non-elemental ones.

I'm probably just too used to the old list. I'll no doubt adapt in time.

Hmmm, seems fairly solid all around. Nothing major, but a lot of nice, smaller stuff. I also love that their fix for protect/minne is MOAR DEFENSE, because that will really solve much of anything, given the nature of monster's pDIF.

(For non math literate, pDIF is the comparison of Atk vs Def followed by level correction; for players, depending on weapon type, it ranges from 0-2(1h), 0-2.25 (2h) or 0-3(ranged), while for monsters, it CANNOT go below 1.0, which is why defense becomes nearly worthless after level 50)

Since I'm sure many players were not reaching a pDIF close to 1.0 before the update, the added defense will be welcome against lv99+ monsters.

- The PDT from Terra's
- The Ranged Attack from Vulcan's
- Other irrelevant stuff

So, you may want to keep Terra's for the -PDT, and Vulcan's if you still use that for ranged attacks.

They mentioned it in the update teaser a while back. It just means instead of having to wait the full delay of your weapon to reengage after disengaging a mob, you can reengage immediately and just won't swing until your normal delay is ready.

I was testing the delay after battle with Monk. I know H2H is not the best measure since delay is relatively short. But after 30 kills, never once was I unable to immediately attack another mob. The delay seems in effect 0 after battle. Haven't tested with 999 delay weapon. This will make unlocking DRK much, much less tedious.

There are reports on BG that it automatically gives weather bonuses without obi's. I am at work so I can't really test this myself, but it should be simple to do. Big question is if casting the weaker element on the stronger day still gives a penalty.

I'm happy about the protect buffs. They're not going to suddenly make blood tanking viable, but they'll be handy for the jobs that can cast them, as they're cast by low defense mages who probably are not flooring their enemies pDIF.

Defense may be useless to stack on gear, but you definitely see a difference when you don't have it. It's one of those stats that you never really have to think about because your defense is probably fine provided you're using up-to-date gear.

So, meh, I'd rather something like -25~% physical damage taken, but I'm certainly not displeased by the fact that protect will now shave a few extra percent off of damage in situations where defense is not capped. If only this was a thing back when cannonball spam was popular.

I was testing the delay after battle with Monk. I know H2H is not the best measure since delay is relatively short. But after 30 kills, never once was I unable to immediately attack another mob. The delay seems in effect 0 after battle. Haven't tested with 999 delay weapon. This will make unlocking DRK much, much less tedious.

Yay guard skillups i guess.

Nope. Until they make Guard proc more, it's still just a blue number like it always was.

Honestly, I don't know whether it's sheer coincidence, pure luck, or they ninja'd the guard proc rate with this, but I saw more guards and guard skill ups in the hour I spent grinding trials on pup than I normally do over the course of a week Smiley: dubious

edit: also, did anyone else sh*t themselves when they realized that SE just buffed REQUIEM accuracy? Do you think they decided to remove it from "Longest running joke" status?

Except if it were baby photos, it would be like looking at before and afters of Michael Jackson. Only instead of turning into a white guy, he changes into a chick!

What was this all about?



Increasing drop items that are needed for Scenario Missions (ACP&Kupo)

Seriously, you won't be @#%^ing happy until SE releases a full sized Bahamut avatar you can @#%^ing ride and use to kill players that annoy you, one shot AV/PW/Shinryuu, and burn the FFXI nations to the @#%^ing ground for fun. All while actually restoring mp used instead of costing any.

- The issue wherein engaging in battle while under the Allied Tags effect kept Guard from activating for both players and enemies.

Hah! Spaghetti code...

Orcs will be twice as annoying now.

Anyone check if /attack spam works again? That would be priceless.

Someone in my LS got a parry skillup from talking to an NPC, purportedly.
