Asking for further thoughts regarding this matter:
What is the reasoning behind this change?Quote:
HP and MP will automatically recover only while the player is stationary, regardless of whether or not he/she is engaged in battle. The amount of HP and MP recovered will increase based on the amount of time a player remains stationary.
The recovery amount will reset under the following conditions:
The player is attacked
The player moves or performs an action

10-01-2011, 12:01 AMBetelgeuzahGood guess, since the ifrit fight shows signs of that kind of mechanics. I wonder if this will apply to the rest of the game though.Quote:

When players within an instanced raid are forced to log out due to a lost connection, they will now respawn near their party members upon logging back in.
(Only if one or more party members remain in the instanced area.)

I think you are reading the way MP regen works wrong. it says while generating enmity not while having enmity. I take this to mean while you are performing actions you are not gaining MP, once you stop you are (as long as you are in passive).Quote:

So imo this can't be the reason.
