Exenterator's effect duration does not vary with TP.

[Byrth]

Exenterator is messed up.

Delivers a fourfold attack that lowers enemy's accuracy. Effect duration varies with TP.

At 100TP, it lasts 90 seconds.
At 300TP, it lasts 90 seconds.

Also, it should be "lowers the enemy's accuracy." probably

Well, I'm not exactly reporting "halp my character is stuk in joono!" or "i kant log in!" Most (if not all) of the information you're requesting is irrelevant. Here is why:

Platform: The time that an additional effect is on the monster is determined by your servers, not my computer
ISP:The time that an additional effect is on the monster is determined by your servers, not my ISP
Type of Internet Connection: The time that an additional effect is on the monster is determined by your servers, not my internet connection
Internet Connection Speed: The time that an additional effect is on the monster is determined by your servers, not my internet connection speed
Date & Time: Pretty obviously something I have tested at multiple dates and multiple times
Frequency: Always
Character Name: If I posted this, you can read my character name
Race: If I posted this, you can see my race
World: If I posted this, you can see my world
Class/Skill Rank: Many classes gain access to this weaponskill and it functions the same way on all of them
Area and Coordinates: It does not matter
Party or Solo: It does not matter
In-Game Time: Pretty obviously something I have tested at multiple dates and multiple times
Steps:
1. Gain an amount of TP between 100 and 300 TP.
2. Use the weaponskill (start stopwatch)
3. Wait for the additional effect to wear off (stop stopwatch)
4. Record time
5. Notice that there is no difference between 100 and 300 TP.
6. Repeat several times and report on the official forums, as you did when the same problem existed on the test server.

In-Game Time: Varying from 0:00 to 23:59

FFS there guys >_>! I've tested it myself as well, So you can use the above.

Results are Same as Byrth:

Step 1) Use Exentarator, 100%, 200%, 300%
Step 2) Acc down wears off after 90sec regardless of TP amount, Despite what description says.

[Byrth]

Nevermind then. I'm sure someone with a higher tolerance for bullshit will report this at some point. 90 second flat duration is good enough for me.

[Tagrineth]

You know, it probably would've taken you LESS TIME to fill out the info correctly than it did to fill it out in the form of a total jackass. But yeah. Bitch more. Waah.

[Shadowsong]

You know, it probably would've taken you LESS TIME to fill out the info correctly than it did to fill it out in the form of a total jackass. But yeah. Bitch more. Waah.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say you have no idea who Byrth is.
When he posts, Devs and Reps need to listen, not run him/us around like idiots.

Once you have provided this information, we will be able to submit this for you so they development team can review this for you. Thank you.

He didn't post this soYou could help HIM. He posted it so YOU can help YOURSELVES and other players. Nice way to treat someone who tests the game for free.

[Arcon]

There was a point to his reply as well, one that wouldn't have been conveyed if he just filled it out normally. The point is that their blanket response with that form is completely useless. Most of what they're requiring is absolutely irrelevant to problems with the content. They need to get rid of it completely and just interpret the bug reports individually, as they have to do anyway with the step-by-step info provided by us. This form should have never made it to the forums in the first place, its absolutely only use is in the form of client bug reports and they should make a completely seperate page for that. It's not related to test server content in any way. SE is making reporting bugs tedious and inconvenient and in some cases even insulting to our intelligence. It's like punishing the people that volunteer to test their products (at their request).

[Melodicya]

While we appreciate your input regarding the Bug Reporting procedure, please keep any conversation in this thread as it pertains to the topic at hand, and not about the process itself.

Any Feedback regarding our process is welcome either in the appropriate forum or through the Feedback Form Located at the Square Enix Support Center at http://support.na.square-enix.com under "Final Fantasy XI" > "Contact" > "Suggestions and Feedback."

Also, please keep in mind that the Game Masters are neither Programmers nor Developers, and have been asked to gather this information in order to file a complete Bug Report to the correct department. This is why we are required to request that the form be fully completed before we are able to submit a report and have the matter investigated.

We appreciate your understanding and continued support.
