All Worlds Emergency Maintenance (Mar. 24)

[Neomage]

It sure does feel like it. I am sitting on a handful of ToD for mobs who spawn in the 21-24 hour period. Now they are pretty much worthless til I can get them back. This happened last emergency maintenance.

By the way how many is this since their infamous March 10th update? Im curious if they beat their old record.

This is the second emergency repair maintenance, third maintenance including the massive update.

Thanks lol, that made my day, haha.

[Omniblast]

I'm assuming that they didn't specify what the update is about yet, is that correct?

Sorry I've been out of it for a while.

[eticket109]

no specifics yet. they'll probably post it just before or just after everything comes back up.

There have been some issues with people getting stuck in Windurst Woods and other zones the lasts few days. I haven't seen any colibri casting Dia, but maybe that's just the T2 and T3 ones doing that.

Cure freeze still does happen, for the same duration as it originally did.

Oh, and Magic Motar.

[Grizzlebeard]

They only said they were reducing the freeze time down didn't they, not removing it. Still, I shouldn't be too shocked that it seems to remain unchanged

[Important Update Details]

- An issue where RDM's Refresh would not activate during SCH's Sublimation effect has been addressed, RDM can no longer cast the spell Refresh.

[Important Update Details]
- An issue has been resolved where casting the black magic "Retrace" on another PC would not have any effect if one did not have the expansion "Wings of the Goddess" installed.

- The damage dealt by the automaton weapon skill "Magic Mortar" has been adjusted.

So two questions:

#1 - What would you EXPECT Retrace to do if you didn't have access to the past? For the matter, what happens when you cast it, and the person has access but don't have a home nation in the past?

#2 - ... WHY?!

[Zempten]

#2 - ... WHY?!

Same reason why 2Hs were REadjusted? >.>

#1 - What would you EXPECT Retrace to do if you didn't have access to the past? For the matter, what happens when you cast it, and the person has access but don't have a home nation in the past?

Read it again.

Actually, let me clarify it, since it is worded in a stupid way:
An issue has been resolved where player one would cast the black magic "Retrace" on another PC who did have "Wings of the Goddess" installed would not have any effect if player one did not have the expansion "Wings of the Goddess" installed.

[Omgwtfbbqkitten]

#2 - ... WHY?!

Because nothing tastes better than the bitter tears of a Puppetmaster.
