December 12, 2012 Version Update

I got Ukon 99 today and I literally do not have the motivation to hit anything. I start moving in a direction and lose interest long before I make it out of Port Jeuno.

Windower, duh.

Wasn't aware that it didn't work on a tier system for nukes, but skill does factor into nuke potency, so would 6 skill do more than 4 mab for an Int based nuke?

I can't move between Bazaars fast enough anymore.

I feel like there is x500 gravity everywhere I go i'm sad.

It doesn't. Skill = Macc only for magical blue magic.

Wambulance

Can I recommend a smith.

Prothescar (tm)

isn't that only for breath attacks? don't regular nuke type spells (e.g. eyes on me) work the same as any elemental magic?

The only elemental magic spell that sees any potency increase/decrease from skill is Meteor. The rest are all interruption rate and magic accuracy. Magical blue magic functions the same way in regards to skill.

Downloaded update, got Error-2003 Error reading data, or something like that, looks like a full reinstall...

crap, that sucks man ><

Omg...really? Being pissy over windower? Wow. I'm sure you play the game 100% legit doing nothing "wrong".

Owie. You has my sympathies. And I thought all the plugins and such not working tonight was a pain in the ***.

When you learn how to play blue mage you can talk. You gi You have lack of knowledge of the job and how to do builds and subs. And advice you have given on the job is usually false.

While your great at other jobs, don't trash blue mages by telling people how to do builds until you learn how most of the job works.

Thanks.

I'm unable to decipher most of this response since...well...let's face it. The grammar and spelling's so horrific, I really can't digest it. I'm gathering this is meant as a hostile defense of BLU though and that I should get my popcorn. :D

Do you have any idea who you're talking to?

Aren't you supposed to be on Pheonix fighting Urteil.

We need to respect our president guys, c'mon.

Lulz.
I didn't vote for him, so I have every right to tell him he's full of hot air. :D

I haven't done extensive testing, but this setting does seem to fix the 600-series problems. I ran out, did a Mijin Gakure in Sauramongue Champaign, and where that would have crashed me 100% pre-update, no crash! This is with weather and shadows on, mind you.

If I get a chance, I'll do an Abyssea party and see if the fix works through Level Up animations too.

No surprise that a post with more than 2 pages has a bunch of people pissing and moaning about ***.

Shut the hell up please.

whining about whiners, great job. Go back to lurking.

I couldn't have said it better myself. /bow

Did anyone else get an HDD error from the update?

I did, then it proceeded to let me play.
Just curious if this is something that will limit me in some aspects of the game in reference to the new update?

All of my +movement speed gear isn't working... SE you are so bad with updates ><

Merit Point animation didn't crash my GTX680 either. Looks like S-E has implemented some kind of fix.

Think he tried quoting me but somehow totally messed up the quotes. He's trying to berate me for having no knowledge of Blue Mage, despite countless times showing that he doesn't understand the basic concepts of how most any job works.

I made a mistake on how the D value of magical Blue Magic spells are calculated. I knew skill factored into physical Blu spells when calculating the D value, and somehow got it into my head that it was calculated the same way for magical Blu spells. I'll readily admit my mistake, which is more than can be said for you, advocating 2-4x swords over Almace or that the augment on Relic +2 legs increase spell set points.

Won't go further into all that since this isn't the time or the place, but your initial berating of the initially mentioned gear shows your own misunderstanding of how Blu works.


Not only is there an issue with +movement speed gear not working properly, but there also seem to be issues related to Weight effects. Went into Arrapago Remnants II a bit ago and on numerous occasions noticed that my movement wasn't encumbered any despite having the Weight effect from Artificial Gravity present. On the second to the last floor though, my movement speed was severely encumbered without any Weight effect at all. I was moving slower than a normal walking animation, and toggling the walk command (in case I had accidentally hit it) only reduced my movement speed further. There wasn't any Weight icon on, and casting Winds of Promy. gave me a "no effect" message, so I know it wasn't an issue of some Weight effect not registering.
