Default Nyzul Isle Emergency Maintenance

Nothing on Playonline yet, 3 minutes ago /smes went out about it.
Wonder what they broke?

might be that random black out shit that keeps happening. When you finish up in nyzul isle (same with alexander mission) sometimes your pt will all black out and be stuck there, gotta x button your ff to get out of it.

Apparently on asura some people have been unable to enter salvage/assault/nyzul isle due to errors.

were those bugs isolated to specific consoles? PC bugs? PS2 bugs? XBOX360 bugs? Either way, none of this has happened to me and we just finish scaling to 100 a third time on sunday. I'm on PC.

Speaking of bugs.
I got stuck inside Nyzul after my group exited cus I was opening a crate =\
Couldn't target the rune.
Force dc'd and logged back in and still got the win, so no big deal.

Hmm, the only bug I had with Nyzul Isle was about four months ago.

As soon as we started on the first floor we entered, my keyboard completely disabled itself in FFXI. I was like, "Ok, that's odd." I had to restart FFXI and my keyboard worked in FFXI again.

About a week later, while doing Salvage, we hit the second floor in I believe Bhaflau Remnants and the keyboard, again, went completely unresponsive.

I've tested my keyboard in another computer and it works fine. As usual, I'd have to restart FFXI just for the keyboard to work.

Those were the only two instances that happened where the keyboard went unresponsive in that zone.

Hopefully they fixed that.

Also, that black out error in Nyzul Isle happened to my friend last night. As soon as he beat floor 100, screen went black on him. He had to force shutdown FFXI and restart again. :/

Too bad that has nothing to do with Nyzul Isle (the zone).

Plus, I'd expect maintenence would be on lower jeuno since that's where the quest is given.

Hopefully they'll address the queuing effect- tried to do nyzul the other day, and it was like Dragon's-Ruins, with over 120 people standing at the door trying to get in... but I'd at least be happy if they fix the black screen issue.

I'm hoping this fixes assault and salvage. No salvage yesterday sucked T.T

Maybe they'll fix Hydra only doing Physical Shield or Nerve Gas ...

... no, I imagine we just got really shitty luck on a 10m+ fight

Been seeing a lot of mobs (in particular flans) taking shortcuts through walls and closed doors since the big update, so maybe they are addressing that.

Last night, in Nyzul Isle i got charmed then immediately uncharmed but could not engage for around 30sec with "you can not perform that action". So maybe they're fixing that too >_>

Same thing happened to me. Was pretty annoying.

And here was me thinking it's because every run for the last week, every NM we've killed has dropped a Quicksilver.

We've gotten 17 Quicksilvers.

I'm not joking.

Last week, I submitted a GM call while doing Nyzul Isle to complain about some of these issues... A few minutes later, a GM sent me /tells asking me what the problem was. I made a few reply /tells to him but he never got them. He kept telling me to hit CTRL+R to reply to him (which ofcourse I knew and was doing); I even typed out /t *can't remember GM's name* to no avail. He spammed his CTRL+R message a few times then finally ended the call. A few minutes after all this took place (and Nyzul was still going on), I started getting the standard "person could not receive tell, try again" message for all the /tells I had sent him several minutes prior. I thought this was odd since usually that message occurs right after you send an unsuccessful /tell. The whole ordeal was very annoying...

Maybe the horrid drop rate on armor :/ 0/21 on Armor drops since the update ._.;

Or you know, we have made the Nyzul Gods angry and made it only rain COR weapons >.>; Which at this point seems likely :/

Our group has a steady diet of DNC COR THF BRD and RNG, haven't seen a single PLD ever after almost a year

The randomizer for those drops isn't very random

I hope this.

The nyzul gods on Slyph like dropping Vorpal Swords and Main Gauches... like 20 of them.
Flayer Blizzaga III'd me through 2 walls the other day too, maybe that's part of it?

Now that you mention it, I did notice a few mobs running through the walls while pulling, which was slightly annoying.
