too many threads on soo many forums...

update was for:
Square said:

[Important Update Details]
- A counter measure was implemented for the screen blackout issue which may occur during the event in "Crossroads of Time" mission which plays after winning the battlefield of "A Nation on the Brink" mission.

- A counter measure was implemented for the screen blackout issue which may occur during the event for "Embers of His Past" and "The Prince and the Hopper" quests.
*To address these issues, a location which allow players to view the past events has been moved from Aht Urhgan Whitegate to Wajaom Woodlands.

bugger all to do with Abyssea :)

[edit] that was for yesterdays.. didnt know there was one in an hour sorry im at work (in body only).

Yes they changed something on Exp system. You have to kill first a lot of mobs before they give exp/cruor. After they repop they start to give exp/cruor.

Thats what i saw yesterday in Abyssea. We fought Lizards.

Does it not appear stupid to you to ask if they're nerfing abyssea exp when there is maintenance on only one of the three zones?

Seeing dozens of these abyssea threads everytime some form of maintenance is called is getting old.

No it doesnt seem stupid, as they may be doing one zone at a time. So, no it doesn't.

Yeah, that doesn't sound like a stupid theory at all.

its more likely they broken something in the zone or "flushing" it rather than nerfing it.

they wouldnt do it zone by zone.. because it'd make the other zones more populated thus causing their servers to have to cope with mroe people in a certain zone so wouldnt make good business/game sense to do such a thing.


"HAI lets close one zone nerf the exp so everyone goes to antoher zone with high exp's until we close them down" - i know SE are dumb.. but pretty much try break their own server.. i doubt


heavendragon ... ive seen that before on lizards where u get from 0, 7 etc exp on them til repops.. dnt know how that works but no one else i know has seen that issue change since any updates

Always has been like that, people needs to stop freaking the *** out over every little maintenance and crying over something they are not going to nerf in anyway, they've already said they made it for the purpose of having fun.

We don't need a new topic every god damn time there is a emergency maintenance or a zone maintenance "OMG NERF NERF NERF DERP DERP DERP"


As I type this, there is zone maintenance on la-theine abyssea.

Yes, Yes it was.

When abyssea first came out almost every mob was DC~T to 75, Every Maint. Resets mob levels, you just never noticed it because by the time you even knew Abyssea existed exp parties had been raping mobs so that just about all of them have Respawned in the IT to 80 area.

The mobs in Abyssea get stronger as they are defeated and respawn.

If Abyssea was going to be nerfed it would have been done by now, whens the last time something GOOD happened to this game that wasn't IMMEDIATELY Nerfed if it wasn't intended?

Rest assured if they wanted to nerf Abyssea exp, it'd be a Server-wide Maint, booting us from the game for at least 5 hours just to add insult to injury.

Edit: Also to your original post, you won't get a single exp over i think 350(?) Without finding treasures chests that Enhance "GOLD" light or "EBON" light, as those two raise exp values over the soft cap, nothing else does.

(Ebon increases all light a small emount)

Ok, not bothering to read past like the third post or whichever quoted the update notes.

Abyssea XP has not been gimped. After maintenance the mobs reset. This means the mobs must be killed again for them to become IT and give good XP.

Give it time, folks. Today - or tomorrow at the latest - you'll be getting your uber XP chains again.

its obvious everyone in this thread fights there own abyssea mobs and other ppl on the server that operate in different time zones dont exist

thus the ability to get exp on first mob they kill

problem solved

You need to drop Red chests with Golden light inside in order to boost your exp...

Did it immediatly after the maint? the mobs was prolly DC when you fought them...and this is why they dint gave any exp.

Anyway, just got out of an abyssea party, was BRD73 when entered, now im BRD75 almost 76, capped exp at 550 as lvl75 >.> so no probs at all.

EDIT: dont know why first quote dint worked, just erased it :p

If you are a lower level job, you will not get exp/cruor for many kills.

Were you on a lower job Heaven? If so, that would explain it.

some people are also HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE in the form that if you actually scroll the freak up you will see that you got exp even if it was like 2 at start. The exp seem to show way earlier then the chat log shows the mob being defeated. scroll up and look i am sure your *** got the exp and you just didn't notice the ***.
