UPDATE INFO

usually during maintenance SE will post full update info. Gimme something to read while servers are down whats taking so long?

was thinking the same thing they put all kinds of posts in testing but not one post under VERSION UPDATE section solidifying exactly what this update is giving us and releasing they always just throw us tidbits :(

first abyssea areas to release stone/ cards maybe seals? but nothing concrete or fully here is what is lol
here is to hoping for a post soon on tomorrows goodies before data miners release it all anyways

im refreshing the page every 45 seconds like a crackhead

Didn't maintenance just start? Be patient.

domnt wanna be patient it usually come up same time ITS THE CRACK DOING IT TO ME

I'll pay for you to go to rehab.
Here, trade with me for the money.... DAMMIT!

prolly gonna take longer since it's a bigger update?

STILL NOTHING AND ITS ALMOST NEWN (thats the crack spelling) :)

Wow seriously... it's an 11 hour maintenance and you're already complaining. Patience, patience. =(

He's got another 10 hours to be like that as well. o.o If there's an announcement that maint is extended for 2 more hours, I bet he would explore!

I'm sure they do have the whole thing mapped out. I'd rather them just working to get the server up and running again OVER them stopping every hour to send out an update.
It's kind of like the tsunami incident in Japan, I couldn't register on here because I JUST bought the game the day the Japanese Tsunami happened. [Certain] People were all pissy because SE wasn't giving updates fast enough and getting the servers up quick enough. I understand getting bent out of shape, but it's JUST A GAME. Give these guys time, let them work at their own pace and go outside or something :D

Same here. I'm like, "I'm going to go outside and do some yardwork..." and hour ago. I'm still sitting here lol

The update notes are up now!!!!!




















Made you look...

Worst part for me is I thought Brink was being released today. I was all "Woo! Awesome timing." Then I found out this morning, it's actually tomorrow...

Remember there's alot of content going into this update, and there's 4 different languages they have to post in, It might take up to 2 hours(maybe more) if they're having to spell check/grammar check to make sure it all makes sense in all languages :x

You wouldn't want the same line read as this...
this wouldn't the line read same you want...

I'm really sure they usually have all that stuff taken care of and done with before maint. starts. Normally they do post the notes up right away - 30 minutes after maint. starts. The FFXI staff seem to be slacking, I wonder why that is.

It's not just an update - it's also server merges - that is why it will take 11 hours.

The size of the update is not that large - http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/pol...ews20643.shtml

Right now, SE are merging the servers. Once that is complete, then SE will upload the update to the servers.

As for the patch notes, SE will not post them on the official website until they begin uploading the patch to the servers, to allow for any last minute changes to the patch notes.

SE Notes should be up soon. Data mining has begun on Alla and BG.

The update notes are now available on the PlayOnline Viewer. FFXI Top Page →　Developer's Room　→　Update History

Details are up now.

Annnd, SE notes are up, as anticipated. Enjoy.

"- The proposed atma interface improvement allowing players to save their favorite atma configurations has been delayed to a future version update due to development complications."

*sigh*

By the time they fix the atma saved interface, I think not many will be going to abyssea anymore. The updates look decent I suppose. All the worthwhile stuff was already mentioned, but I wonder what new stuff we can purchase with imperial standings.

Oh, something else I just remembered that I am glad SE did. I am glad they removed the Return of the Depth cap. Now I can finally finish/solo that friggen quest.

I don't understand why this update is so blurry... nothing solid and I don't feel comfortable with it especially the merge and new Dynamis.

The used to post a web page for some solid info; even the moderator here usually say they will do this they will do that I still don't see a firm result whatsoever.

Noooooooooooooooooo, was probably the main thing I was looking forward to :(

I never recall seeing an update post until the update was at least 2/3 thru the maint period. Not expecting to see a summary until at least 4 hours from now.

expect no more ^^

Its up but not much of an update

Is there an easier way to view more information on the vague information like "[dev1012] Revamped Monster Placement", or do you have to Google it each time to get more information? xD

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/fo...ng-in-Progress

The effects of the following job abilities have been adjusted:

Divine Caress / Saboteur / Spur / Tenuto / Mana Cede / Efflux / Striking Flourish / Perpetuance / Immanence

What, HOW has it been adjusted? D: Is the duration of the Enhancing magic spell been shortened with Perpetuance?

[dev1001] The following items can now be kept in stacks of 12.

Glavoid Shell / 2Leaf Chloris Bud / Helm of Briareus / Carabosse's Gem / Fistule Discharge / Kukulkan's Fang / Chukwa's Egg / Mananangal's Necklet / Marvin's Pelage / Chasmic Stinger / Raskovnik Vine / Bakka's Wing / Cuelebre's Horn / Mictlantecuhtli's Habit / Keesha's Pamama / Mikey's Nugget / Balaur Skull / Lieje Lantern / Itzpapalotl's Scale / Ulhuadshi's Fang / Sobek's Skin / Cirein-Croin's Lantern / Bukhis's Wing / Sedna's Tusk / Manigordo Tusk

Thank god they gone through with this one, My inventory has been cutting itself lately.

The potency of the "Automaton: Regain" effect granted by the hand-to-hand weapon "Burattinaios" has been adjusted.

Noooooo!!!! I haven't gotten my hands on one yet, what exactly has been changed about this? Please don't make it a really dumb Hidden Effect or only 1TP a tick.. I was hoping to use these for Cannibal Blade <.<

The new text command "/blockhelp" has been added.
This command allows players to toggle on and off the ability to bring up the "Call for Help" button in the command menu. The default setting for this command is on; logging out of the game will revert this setting to default.

Ehhh, this could be useful.

The font used to display characters' names above their heads has been changed on the Windows and Xbox 360 versions of the game.

Sure, I guess. Makes names easier to read...

The issue wherein the scholar ability "Libra" would display improper information if used in conjunction with a black mage's "Enmity Douse" ability.

Eh, what about the RANGE and only being able to see your Alliances Hate? FAIL D:

The issue in which the detection range for the monster Dybbuk (Abyssea-Konschtat) was larger than intended.

Yeah, they were annoying I suppose...



# The issue wherein the area of effect for the NM Indrik's (Abyssea-Uleguerand) special attack "Scintillant Lance" was incorrect.
# The issue in which the area of effect for the NM Ironclad Triturator's (Abyssea-Uleguerand) special attack "Turbine Cyclone" was incorrect.

These i don't understand, I guess i haven't faught these NMs enough but what was it? Was the AoEs treated like a BLMs Aga? The more people caught in the blast the less damage?

The issue wherein using an automaton's ranged or magical attacks against the NM Armoury Crate (SE Apollyon) immediately caused the battle to terminate.

Seen that coming lol.

The kind of players that accidentally CFH a mob would forget to use the command anyway, pointless.
