what is being fixed this time?

A lot of weird 90k and lag in frontline as well.

The following issues have been addressed according to Square-Enix in the thread:

[NA] FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn Hotfixes (Aug. 21, 2014)



An issue in “Crystal Tower: Syrcus Tower” wherein ground-targeting actions such as Shadow Flare used in the Golden Sacristy could also cause damage to monsters on the floor above.
An issue wherein, if a currently held weekly elite mark bill that was accepted during a previous week had the same target as the current week’s elite mark bill, and the elite mark was slain, then the current week’s elite mark bill, even if it is still unaccepted, is also counted as being completed.
An issue wherein the graphics for the NPC “A-Ruhn-Senna” did not display properly during cutscenes.

Does that answer your question?^_^

Lol yeah that Amon glitch happened on our run too ... So funny xP

Tuesday I saw that happen, but not just with Amon, but with trash mobs.

There was an bug that occurred. My chocobo was in the stable. I was in frontlines and I tried to ride my choco. And a message popped up saying that my chocobo was missing.

That would certainly explain why Amon was targeting the SMN.

Ragna suffered from some massive DC these 2 days.

Not true either

Only if SE did a weekly maint like every other MMO they might have less issues and downtime during updates

Sounds like the ST fix was the only critical thing, this early in the lockout period. For Hunts- if some ppl who had accidentally gotten extra marks for one that's been in their log forever, great for them they prob weren't getting a lot through hunting if that were the case. Hopefully that's something they slipped in on the side and not something they'd consider emergency patch-worthy on its own.
