Please note that we cannot replace items that are lost during the maintenance process.

Thank you for your understanding and patience.

SCH nerf

They'll at least fix the 1 minute stratagem recharge time for ***/SCH (was nice while it lasted), and hopefully fix Refresh not stacking with Sublimation.

In before QQ.

Also: Maybe fix new SAM JA that impacts Hagun? *fingers crossed*

(pfft yeah right.... and I know "SAM = overpowered!!21")

;&; Hagun fix.



edit: htf did i miss the post above me is the question.

Somethingsomething DRK Fix, AV Ninja Fix, somethingsomething SAM issue w/GKT. I found this maintenance especially funny because everyone I know said, "Oh great a version update monday...then a patch 2 days later to fix the shit they break..." D:

Oh, and I haven't heard the usual QQ about HNM into JP prime time etc or something...

...

so like, you actually think that was 'by accident?' lol

No man, just look at the game mechanics, that would be a little too much on the side of broken, akin to relic horn. It's like giving everyone Convert with no timer, even if it's only 2mp/tick. That's still close to the MP a RDM gets back from convert anyway. Let's see... 1000hp, 10min, 10min is 600 seconds, 200 ticks, well, ok, maybe not that close, but it's constant. That's still 400hp->mp every 10 minutes... and for a Scholar, make that 600 (gg af hat).

Seriously, 400/600hp->mp every 10 minutes, stacked with Refresh, Evoker's Roll, and Ballad, would be game breaking, especially tacking on relic horn. At least, SCH is now the perfect SJ for BLMs that don't suck at soloing.

Everyone's too concerned with their Haste timers.

They're going to cap Haste even lower with this. Watch. lol

"Due to the Apocalypse DRK complaints about the new haste cap of 80%, the new haste cap post Emergency Maintenance will now be 70% while the weapon Apocalypse will remain at 75% to make it fair for their effort in obtaining a Dynamis Relic weapon. Good luck, Vana'diel Adventurers!"

How is it even less game breaking when you can already stack it with Ballads and Rolls, but not Refresh? Besides, you aren't even regaining the stored MP until you use the ability again. I was able to store it for at least 30 mins before using it.

Do that and I swear to you, you will hear every fucking DRK cut themselves(or something along those lines)

Hopefully they do something to make campaign a bit more balanced. On Fairy, all Allied forces went from 100% morale to 0% morale, and Beastmen's influence bars are at 100% in most regions D:

I pray they make SCH more hax. Best fix ever.

Aren't DRK's emo by nature already? They cut themselves on a regular basis!

Every two hours for 60 seconds to be precise.
