Not going to fill out the protocol questionnaire. This has been an issue since the first day FFXI was released. It occurs everywhere, in every zone Beetles exist, on every server, at all times, with any job/subjob combo with any and all platforms and computers and any ISPs/Internet Connections.

FIXXXXX ITTTT

Ophannus,

I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing a continuing issue and I understand your desire to press for a response. Unfortunately, we do need a full report to send anything to the development team. We would need to know your issue with the Beetles and as much other information as you can provide.

Thank you for your time and we hope to hear from you soon.

I think the images show exactly whats wrong. The beetle has a broken front right foot. LOL I never noticed this until I saw this post. It's a very minor design flaw and not game breaking it just makes the developers/artiest look like they made a minor screw up that never got fixed. :D

Does this exist on PS3/PS3/XBOX and PC?

I can see the official reply now, "While we understand your concern regarding this matter, we have determined that the beetle foot is operating as intended and we will not be making adjustments at this time."

Fine, I'll bite. It'd be hilarious if this is the post that actually gets this issue resolved since people have mentioned this for the past 10 years.

Apparently you decided to file a report at the same time and posted first.

In my defense, my bug report is more detailed. :(

[Sarick]

1. Find a Beetle type mob, or if main job is BST, call a BeetleFamiliar or PanzerGalahad.
2. Look at the front left foot.
3. Notice that the foot is broken.

That's it's right foot/claw not it's left foot/claw. :p

If you tell them it's left foot they'll see it looks fine and think that it's not broken! It looks like they cut & paste the image of the back left foot/claw on the front right foot/claw but forgot to mirror it. :rolleyes:

[Economizer]

That's it's right foot/claw not it's left foot/claw. :p

Fixed. With the amount of beetles and zones I had to list off I forgot the difference between my left and the beetle's right. :(

Ophannus and Economizer,

We appreciate your providing us with these details. We will forward them on for our Development team to review. Please note that any updates will be provided either here or on Play Online (www.PlayOnline.com).

Additionally, I do want to thank you for your patience in answering these questions. I know it can be a bit frustrating, but those answers do help us to verify certain concerns when we look into technical issues.

Thank you,
GM Baudle
