Item Adjustments Galore! (02/07/2011)Follow

Woot, thanks!






Not sure, actually. They are officially calling this a minor update, right? And the March update as a major? Semantically I guess they mean March, but if they arent playing a semsantics game it could be February.

Guess I'll have to keep my Paper Knife with me forever.

Found this on wiki and thought it was kinda funny.




Let's ride the logiccrazy train!

Paper is a material used for writing.
Music and lyrics are written on paper.
Papyrus was made in Egypt.
In Egypt scribes wrote the doctrines of the Pharoah.
Minstrels of his court maybe wrote down some songs on papyrus.
Minstrels in Egypt were always armed with short swords.
The Bard questline involves charming a princess.
Therefore it makes sense that Bards would carry paper knives! It's because Egypt and papyrus and princesses!


And are there really people on the internet that have never seen paper before and need it explained to them?

Pretty sure it's just a letter opener. Made of metal.

for stat bonues: minor is 10, major is 30, superior is 50.There are several mislabels that have caused confusion over this. This is for str, dex, int, mnd, agi, chr. attack and def and eva and acc are different.


Also I think the perspective on these details is a bit off... they do several notes of release spread across several days for the week preceding the update.

I'm thinking the update will probably be the 15th of Feb. I expect there to be at least 2 more similar announcements before then.

and now I'm getting things mixed in my head for which updates are mid-feb and which are march... ah merger is mid-feb right?

I bet when/if this ever happens we will all be required to remove our items from all the Auction Houses, in case anything goes wrong, or risk losing our items. I can already see the threads here and other forums: "The AH merge made my XXXX and YYYY disappear!!! Waaaaahhhhhhhh!!!!" and "How the AH merge made me poor".

They have the ability to send all objects on the AH back to the person who put it up. They have used it in the past.

People who had to hop to other servers during the Great Merger already had to do this. I don't recall seeing any ***** stories from people who lost their stuff. People had more than enough warning.

It's already kinda rare that anything worth over a couple mil goes on the AH, anyway. These items tend to get sold in Rolanmart.

You know they removed bazaar taxes from Jeuno a while ago. You don't have to stand outside the town to sell your stuff anymore.

I think even S/E may be inadvertently blurring the February and March updates for some by not specifically saying the February update.



So, we can assume that any "ahead of the next major version update" refers to Mid-February update? Even though, we've seen things which were supposed to be in an update but delayed because of issues and then simply added by themselves. Thus, perhaps, why they are not specifically tagged to the minor update.

Interesting, on my server (Titan), Sauro-mart died VERY quickly after the Jeuno bazaar tax was eliminated. Quickly as in days/weeks. Everyone just moved inside to Port Jeuno nearly immediately. Every now and then you'll still see a lone Bazaar icon for old time's sake in Sauro. Usually not.

Port being Titan's bazaar zone is kinda chaotic now, because in addition to being the new default gathering zone thanks to Abyssea, it's shopping central. Causes tons of lag, but it's actually kinda nice being able to browse bazaars while hearing the shouts and seeing what's going on. We have a fairly small population anyway though since we are one of the smallest worlds that wasn't merged (currently ~1000 total online on an average time), so it's manageable.

What's up on other servers? Did your server use Rolanberry Fields > Lower Jeuno? Have people migrated bazaar mules from Lower to Port due to Abyssea, or not?

Correct. But:



Same "ahead of the next major update" wording but not listed in the 02/07/2011 update note. What I'm driving at is "can we generally assume that 'ahead of the next major update' wording from that Q&A equates to things we should be looking for in the mid-February update?"

I'm thinking no level cap increase until the major update. I don't think a cap raise has even been mentioned?
