| I’m back again for one more quick note regarding corsair! Currently on the Test Server, Wild Card does not reset the cool down timers for new special abilities; however, we will be addressing this in the future. Since resetting the cool down timers for both current and new special abilities at the same time when rolling either a 5 or 6 would be a pretty big bonus, we are looking into making it so that cool down timers for both abilities will only be reset at the same time when rolling a 6. Edit: Correct. Rolling a 5 would reset the current special ability cool down timer, and rolling a 6 would reset the cool down timers for both current and new special abilities. We are not taking anything away from Wild Card, we are only factoring in the new special abilities. | ||||

So which ability timer will be reset when rolling a 5?
I'm guessing it randomly picks which one to reset
Probably only one of them chosen randomly, as usual.
need even more luck for cor. ***
Man, this next update seems to have more nerfs than new content, who's in charge! I demand to see the manager!!

might not be so bad. It might be whichever one has the shortest recast. Then you could just use them in the order you wanted them reset in case of a 5.
I'm not sure if i am reading this as a nerf... If 5 can still reset one of the two abilitys, then wouldn't this be a buff if a 6 can reset both? Only considering the fact that as of now it can't be reset at all of course.
Dunno it's so much a nerf as much as a negative side effect of split 2hr timers that they didn't think through fully.

In before Wild Card 5 "lowers remaining cooldown timers by 30 seconds" with an extra 2 seconds per Loaded Deck merit. That sounds exactly like something they would do ...
it's a nice convenience to be sure and faster than resheph/MMM but the other two options are still there.
Wild Card better reset the other special ability though.
5 ensures current SP reset, so this isn't a nerf at all, it's just people getting up in arms without seeking clarification first.
Though, given half the time they don't bother clarifying stuff can't say I blame people.

5 does not ensure current SP reset
yes it does
well then its SE, and its the EN side so i guess they could just be giving us misinformation again, so i suppose your statement is well played
Still don't see it particularly as a nerf since you've gained the ability to reset both SPs on a 6 to compensate, as well as the fact that even if 5 is a random chance to reset either one, for most jobs it doesn't even matter which 2hr you have up anymore.

nvm, just read the new post.

So it's a buff then, wonderful!

So if I roll 5 I can't reset my other 1hour ability? WELL *** YOU.

I'm going to take a wait-and-see attitude for now, because aside from the fact that they change their minds about things to the degree of valley girls, there's also the fact that we constantly get shoddy translations and misinformation. Granted, a lot of the time the Japanese text is vague to the point that their blunders are understandable, but it's still pretty annoying.
People's reading comprehension levels just aren't what they used to be.

This seems pretty meaningless, its ridiculously easy to reset JA's and now that they are 1 hour, yeah. Not a big deal.

How can you blame me though.
you have 5 and 6 that resets the 2 hour. They add a new SP, and tell everyone that 5 will not reset both of them.
Now here is the issue (before clarification), what would 5 do? It could remain as is, making it possible to reset the original SP on both 5 or 6, or they could make 5 reset either the old or the new SP, basically flipping a coin.
If it is the later, that is a nerf. It would reduce the chance of resetting the original SP, by 2-3%, and in my opinion a reduced chance would be a nerf.
Now that they clarified it, supposedly 5 will reset the original SP.
I would of changed the title if I had the permission rights to do so, but I do not.
