Theres a lot of cool stuff other than that included in the update, including some much needed adjustments to ballista, and nearly doubling the number of BCNM battles! You can check the details of it on PlayOnline, although it's incredibly laggy atm.

I've played Tetra Master until dinner time, watched 2 hrs of M*A*S*H, watch my gf play freecell for an hour and carried her to bed, and I still can't play. Good thing I'm on vacation, cuz after this i'm gonna finish Young Frankenstein. AAARGH!!! why won't they let us play?!?

Its 3 at once, maximum 3 times each except for Hp and Mp, those are 5 times. But i am wondering about the Orb's at the last page it says there wasn't enough time and they had to move the battles to a different date.

What does this mean then?

"It is not possible to raise all attributes to their maximum using this system."

Quoted from that update page.

I'm updating my files now. Patching is kinda slow as usual, but at least I didn't have to molest the "Play" button this time. Last patch took me nearly 5 hours to just CONNECT and another 3-4 to download it all and I'm on a high speed connection.

Square really needed to increase the number of patch server. T_T

Mannequins, New BCNM matches, and Merit Points

Like the mannequins, the new BCNM fights, and the merit points.

Although, there's one thing I'm confused about...with merit points: I wonder if you only can raise ALL your attributes (not HPMAX/MPMAX) 3 times? or EACH attribute 3 times...

i.e. Let's say you had these attributes:
STR 100
DEX 100
VIT 100
AGI 100
CHR 100
INT 100
MND 100

Could you only raise them to a spread of (for example):

STR 100
DEX 101
VIT 100
AGI 101
CHR 100
INT 101
MND 100

Or could you do this:

STR 103
DEX 103
VIT 103
AGI 103
CHR 103
INT 103
MND 103

Hmmm...

from what i read you can raise EACH stat 3 times and hp and mp 5 times.now the hp and mp do seem that great a deal, but the stats do seem better.

"Maximum HP and maximum MP can only be raised a total of 5 times. For example, combinations such as [HP max +5]/[MP max +0] or [HP max +2]/[MP max +3] would be possible, while [HP max +5]/[MP max +5] would not. As for the remaining seven attributes, these can only be raised a total of 3 times. It is not possible to raise all attributes to their maximum using this system."

Seems self explanatory to me. The first one is correct.

Then -if- the first case is correct, it doesn't seem like that -big- of a help. But every little boost counts I guess...Smiley: rolleyes

Oh god, thank you... I was looking for someone to state the Central Time... it seems that no one in Central Time plays it.. it's either Pacific or Eastern... really ******** with my mind. BTW, does anyone know how to fix the /clock command to show Central Time? It has always shown me PST time...
