July 2019 Version Update

Not enough people are bitching is the key. If enough people ***, it seems they will cave like the Esuna changes.

That only works if you have a JP button. SE gives 0 shits about what none JP players think.

Couldn't even get 20 people to say "we want remedies to stack to 99 plzkthx"

Only got ***' 5 to say the ambuscade queue is horseshit, and they got paid to do it.

I don't even think JP vs NA really matters a lot anymore because they equally loathe both.

They poated it on the 2 worst places, so not really surprised about the stackables and who isn't banned from the OF?

Where could possibly have been a better spot than reddit.
Of all the places that host FFXI forums, reddit is the clear winner in unique traffic.

I'm actually afraid they are going to use this exact response because they are so goofy when it comes to addressing anything about ninja.

Yeah, it's a decent upgrade. I'm just not that keen on it because 1. Aeneas synergises more with unstacked Rudra's whereas Twashter synergises more with unstacked evisceration, and I use the latter and 2. 6 dex in an unstacked rudra's is akin to approximately 200-250 actual damage with good attack at high tp values. That can add up over time if you use a lot of unstacked rudra's, but here's the catch. To put this in perspective, my normal non critical non aftermath autoattack hits deal more damage than that, a single empyrean aftermath proc more than triples that, aftermath crits can do 2-3k so close to 10 times that, and with proper buffs my strongest stacked rudra's have come just a few K shy of actually hitting the damage cap. The difference between jukikiak feather and the stone in unstacked rudra's is literally in the range of about a tenth to a hundredth of a single percent increase in thief's overall damage output today. Gere Ring last month was a vastly more enticing carrot than this is.

I mean, it sounds like there's something wrong with the shoe's augment. But... why not also swap the NIN head and feet augments.... and the BLM leg and feet augments...

"lol"

I guess that explains the emergency maintinence notice. I wondered what was wrong this time. At least it's not as bad as the dynamis entry timer reset issue last month.


Edit: never mind. Fae cleared that up below. I had forgotten the new login campaigns were scheduled to start on the 11th. I'm looking forward to statue crusher at the very least.

The maintenance tonight is for the next login campaign.
Though hopefully they'll fix the NIN feet aug... but I won't hold my breath.

Lol, it's the story of almost half the jobs nowadays it seems. "We have confirmed that (insert job here) exists. This is a problem and we have no ^%$#@ clue how to deal with it." Have a cookie for putting a smile on my face.

isn't this the ***one tho

Yeah but at least they tell it to the jps faces in there own dev Q&A thread

It's not statue crusher PLUS (Where you get personal shards and medals in pool). It's the one where you just get a tag for ever individual statue kill per wave.

It still adds up to a good 3-4 stacks worth of cards over the course of the 6 runs you can squeeze in during the campaign. It's like a free medal every other run. It may be the inferior version, but it's still a decent sized handout. And it's an added bonus on top of your normal farm. I'm more than happy to take it.

I wasn't saying it was inferior, just explaining the difference. They are both good campaigns. People just bring a bunch of miles to clears/rp and it's just free Gil. The plus campaign is better for dropping the price of shards directly, though.

Nothing drops the price of shards though, all medals go to crafters

Massive failure in design. Idiots still paying 8m for THF/COR. 11m for RUN.

You will get a momentary drop for certain shard pieces if you wait for the eventual undercutters during the PLUS campaign. And then the idiots will follow suit without paying any attention to the price of medals

28 Voidfoot COR in stock
11m normal price
<wait til weekends>
buy for 8-9mil cuz someone was lazy and impatient
4 more people sell for 8mil cuz they are even more impatient
stock drops to <10
price back to 12m in 48 hours

Has anyone noticed that there doesn't seem to be any magic accuracy skill on the new club from this update?

It is in the JP description it's 242. Bad translation, they did this before on weapons.

Ｄ212 隔300 INT+25 MND+25 CHR+25\n命中+35 魔命+35 魔攻+18\n魔法ダメージ+232 片手棍スキル+242\n受け流しスキル+242 魔命スキル+242\nダブルアタック+7% マジックバーストダメージ+7\nファストキャスト+7% 連携ボーナス+7

Just thought i would ask. It's not like they haven't done things like add magic evasion to armors and stuff.

Thanks Chiaia.

The translation team always makes mistakes on the English translations of stuff.

There's still like 6-9 pieces of 119 abjuration stuff that have typos from the day they buffed them. Straight up list wrong numbers in NA version.


THF AF +2 legs have a mistake too which is funny because they "fixed" them in an update but still kept one of the 2 mistakes.

The dark matter augment campaign just started! Make sure you squeeze twelve rolls in before JP midnight.

And double accos... it's like permanent Gain-Money -1 for 20 straight days. See you on the other side gents.

Double accos so brutal. Finally over. Definitely my favorite least favorite campaign. Hope you used it well.
