What promised changes are still pending update/implementation?

If you DC so often that you feel this is such a high priority, I suggest that you prioritise fixing your own connection >.>

Thanks for the advice. I've had this problem for years, but it never occurred to me that I should do something about it. I just assumed that SE would come by my neighborhood and fix the cable lines eventually.

Good news. After reading your post, I quit my job, dumped my girl, and moved to japan, just to ensure a better connection to FFXI. Now SE doesn't have to waste all that time on fixing the cruor buffs. YAY!

@the atma select menu, what we have now was only meant to be a temp fix

Where and when did they say it was just a temp fix?
Tbh I doubt they ever meant it that way.
If you remember first they gave us the "reinfuse last set" option, then on the following patch they added the 10 last selected Atmas menu, after asking us users to cast our vote among 2 different possibilities (of course I liked the other more than the current one )

the remove amnesia spell

i never remeber them saying this, i remember them saying we'd never get one though, something about it being annoying for a reason and for balance

Wouldn't matter, anything end game related would be immune.

The whole "Gjallarhorn Specific Song" thread came about after a few lvl cap increase updates had passed because Gjallarhorn was losing a lot of its luster that it originally had at 75.

A few ideas were bounced around, but Massacre Elegy essentially seemed the most viable and suitable to be added to Gjallarhorn.

And then this was posted... (edited to get to the good parts)

Will Massacre Elegy be added?

We have plans to. However, when considering the stats, we are planning to make it so this isn’t a song that can be used by just anyone.

Add a song that enhances magical accuracy

Since you can already enhance your magical accuracy through the use of a lot of equipment, we are thinking it would be more beneficial to give party members a different kind of song effect.
(For example, perhaps a song that reduces an enemy’s magical defense, etc.)

Also in response to your feedback about the seeming lack of power of Gjallarhorn, the development team mentioned that there is a difference in song accuracy between Gjallarhorn and Daurdabla, and when casting songs on enemies, Gjallarhorn wins out. During the next version update it will also be possible to further enhance the Gjallarhorn.

So as of now, we don't really know how Massacre Elegy will be added (strong speculation for Gjallarhorn but who knows! All speculation ), but Brds are afraid that if it were to be added to Gjallarhorn, it would require finishing a Stage 2 lvl99 Gjallarhorn in order to get it. Which would be ridiculous... :/

I would also like to add that SE really needs to add that MDB- debuff into the game. It was mentioned in the "Job Manifesto" and again in this post from Camate, yet we haven't heard anything more about it.

And finally, I wanted to leave that last tidbit from Camate's old post here because it shows how out of touch the dev. team is with the Bard community lol X.x
Gjallarhorn vs. Daurdabla for debuffs... was never a debate lol, a horn of any lvl (even a lvl 1, statless Flute) is significantly stronger than Daurdabla for debuff acc.

2nd lv99 trial only adds the afterglow. They're not going to make a special song require that. In fact my understanding is they won't have a 2nx 99 trial because iirc, the horn can't have a glow.

You don't know that for certain. :P

It would seem odd for SE not to have Stage 2 Gjallarhorn/Daurdabla trials if they don't give them Afterglow; however, I definitely feel like I wouldn't mind at all if they weren't added lol

[Coldbrand]

I just really hope we get craft 100 #2, want to finish cooking. Also I really think NIN is missing a HUGE chunk of the spells they should rightfully have at 99.

They said they were gonna increase the jobs that use certain WSes.
