emergency world maintenace already...........

5 minutes warning that is just fail..........

I'm guessing a pretty big exploit was found

Well this is a big bug to fix :P...

Any cure spell doing 99,999 dmg to undead... Can one shot Titl's, Mict... Any Undead NM or Undead anywhere. Imagine a level 1 WHM going to KRT and spamming cure on the mobs there? Infinite chains and super exp.

Course they're going to nerf it.

5 minutes is a bit cheap, What about the people in Dynamis? Abyssea? Limbus? Assaults? Einherjar? Salvage? etc. But they need to fix this quick. Hopefully they wont follow it up with a Banhammer like usual.

Either way.

FOUR F**KING HOURS?!

Cures 1-6 were doing 99.999 dmg to undead type mobs

It was more like 5 and a half. lol

Ya it must be something major cuz usually they give us a couple hours notice, not just 5 mins. 5 min warning for maintenance is just wrong.

oh wow...cures doing that kinda damage to undead mobs is a major issue...now i understand the 5 min warning. must be something else with it though, cause I can't see it taking that long to fix it.

4 1/2 hour maintenance to fix a 2 hour update doesnt seem right.

Oh well... New plan for the evening I guess; Planetside (free for a bit because of the SOE hackings) or The Witcher 1?

Minecraft or Nostalgia some Diablo II >_>

I'm guessing there's ALWAYS an emergency maintenance that's twice as long as the actual maintenance practically every time they do an update. One can dream the test server will one day help with that some, however unlikely.

lol I had just finished updating and first thing I see coming out of loading screen is this. I was like wow whole day wasted and during my vacation.

someone screaming in port that npc giving 1.6mil and change for any items not sure if trolling or serious on that one lolz

I'll come if you don't mind that I'm a rampant hacker.

SE u ow me 1-2 Isa hearts he was at 3% :( it's a hard duo DRK + WHM too :P

Maybe SE will decide to sneak in the test server so they don't gotta deal with these emergency maintenances anymore XD

You know what make me rage? Server maintenance 2h then server is up again then BAAM someone find the exploit in 1h. Why again we have Beta test Server in FFXI? Should they just change who beta test....

Anyway 5 min warning was big FAIL. I swear god if exploit was found at JP time, the emergency maintenance would be 12 hours warning right?

Too bad he wasn't undead, you could have just one shot'd it.

2 hours to fix the exploit then 2 hours to discover/ban all the people who abused the exploit maybe? Glad I was only fishing today and I wasn't in any timed area or killing a NM or I'd be pissed too. Now it's time for me to find something to do for about 4 hours or so.

i kinda have to agree on the test server whats the purpose of it if they don't catch something like cure doing 99,999 to undead. Beyond that how can an update taking 2 hours to do need 4.5 hours to fix.

really 4 and a half hours to nerf a cure spam?? LOLZ

glad i was just working on synergy about to go into dynamis..... that would of sucked....

must all be gone for breakfast and just janitor working atm .... again

This is a pretty embarassing fail for whoever was working on this update, it was pretty heavily abused for a while too lol Level 1's one shotting IT++, people one shotting all kinds of nms etc.

I doubt anyone will get banned for it but they will be pretty miffed about looking so stupid I would think.

Did anyone happen to get any screen shots of the 99999 damage cures? I would like to see it just to be amused.

Am I the only person who catch this right? Is that a real GM??? Cuz...it appears he's running on Windower. So did we just lose a GM? Or will SE going to have to sanction the use of Windower, which is a 3rd party tool?

I see absolutely nothing that shows it to be windowed. Besides, what about windowed mode? That's not 3rd party.

I really don't get how this wasn't noticed before the server went back online.

That is not a real GM; it's a real player using a third party tool.

I heard something about a plug-in that can give you the GM icon and red name. That's probably what it is.

This is now the best broken items they have ever messed up. It tops SA working from in front of the mob.

hmmm i don't have gm tag over my head or the time before my chat log .... maybe it only come on console version ;)

Its just some 3rdparty program that lets them act like a GM client side, loads of players abuse it. It's pretty harmless in the grand scheme of things but yeah, whoever took that picture won't like it being posted here.

TParty. DrawDistance. etc

The [GM] next to peoples' names is a 3rd party alteration. They also have the ability to use the Producer icon. Or whatever it was, maybe it's director. But it's basically the "I'm god, don't mess with me" icon.
