FFXI Update Details (6/5/2007)

Something I just now thought of...I expect to see a lot more Besieged losses with this update :/ Not only because of the level 8 Besieged with new hardercore NM's, but also because of the tele to Whitegate from the cities thing. Lots of people (myself included) will be setting their HP at their home nation now, and when they're just sitting around watching their mog spin, they aren't going to receive the message that Besieged is going to start anymore.

Then again, there are people like me who obsessively check the Besieged map to see when its about to start :p

I would probably warp back for Besieged for the easy xp/is and skill ups.

We'll see what happens, but for sure... HP Windurst!
 
Maybe someone should send a suggestion to SE to have Besieged notifications be delivered to all zones, short of instanced stuff like Limbus, BCNMs, Dynamis, etc.
 
One thing that caught my eye is that you are now able to use the left and right arrows to scroll quickly through your Mog safe/locker, and other places... CAN I GET A WITNESS!?

I HATE having to hold down the up and down buttons and always wondered when they were changing this.

yes pit it works, first thing i tested when i logged in :D
 
I wonder what is SE up to lately, every update makes me think it's Christmas. Doubt they will get any new players by doing so, but maybe now, less people will quit... Even makes me want to come back, so many things look great... Meh... Most of these things should have been done years ago, like throwing items, etc... Oh well...

By the way, would someone be able to toss his CoP ring, and get another one, or would you get the same one?
 
Pretty sure you can get a new ring.

Time for the "Update Woes" portion of tonight's broadcast:

Logged in before 6pm local (7pm eastern), started download, saw I had 2 hours to wait for it to finish. It's now an hour later, I have 30% of it downloaded... and I still can expect a 2 hour delay. >_<

Not horribly unexpected, but still... *sigh*
 
have to toss the one oyu have though
 
Tossed my Tamas, checked Marble Bridge door, neat little CS, got Rajas :D Marble Bridge was allowing all males so I dunno if it needs to be your day or not. Considering all I had to do was check the door, I assume not.

In other news, all input commands in windower crash POL now, meaning no windower macros work for the time being. Worst update ever until that's fixed :p

Now, that is hot. This is definitly Christmas.
 
Too bad I'll just stick to my Sattva. But is definitely awesome as a whole to at least be given the chance if needed.

I'm reeeally annoyed with that magic change (if typing a spell, you have to explicitly give a target instead of the spell landing on your current target). Anyone know why they did this? I got the error at least 10 times last night, usually while trying to remove status effects or raise someone. >_<

For whatever reason, I've just always had my macros set at using <T>and even in manual typing... I've always used < t> <T>... don't know why, just always has been that way for me.

Maybe I'll be more aggrivated when I WHM it up in a merit or other group scenario.

What's the problme with magic? I didn't see anything mentioned in the update details.
 
I didn't realize it was ever possible to manually cast a spell without setting the target explicitly :o I've always had either "t<t><stpc>", "stpc", or "me" (forum doesn't like displaying greater than/less than signs since they're code haha) <me> in my spell macros. Granted I only have a handful of spell macros so its not a huge deal.</me></stpc></t>
