Three years later? How long have these mobs been in the game?

I swear to god, if they gimp the obi's I'm done with this game. There comes a point where you should just STOP gimping something because it's powerful. I know damn well that I earned my obis.. >.> Solo/Duo, mind you.

Well, we'll see. And I'm usually not one to jump to conclusions... But the minute my obis are threatened, that's a big thing. And I know they haven't said anything about gimping the obis... but what is there to change? They are working as is intended.... >.>

How can you possibly gimp them though?

The only way you can gimp them would be to either make them kick in randomly (thus, not giving the full benefit either way, which would make it just like normal, thus effectively removing it from the game), or reduce the extra effect each weather/day gives (thus, gimping the entire game, not the item itself).

I highly doubt SE would do either of those two, so the only real think I can think of, would be to limit it to 1 weather and 1 day each, thus making it 20% max instead of 30% max, which still isn't too bad.

Although I have to say, from the way they typed the message, it sounds more like they are saying "The item description for the following items may be a bit confusing, and will be cleaned up and re-written so they will be easier to understand".

Might be that they don't work with synthing, which some people might believe, and they will add to the description that they don't. Might change it to something like this:

Anrin Obi
Level: 71
Flags: Rare / Exclusive / Not NPC Sellable
Slot: Waist
Type: Armor: Obi
Jobs: All
Races: All
Defense: 7
Equipment Category:
Armor / Waist
Effects for Anrin Obi:

• Gain Full Benefit of Darksday/Dark Weather Spell Bonuses

SE is doing something. Its suspicious.

 

[pakomen]

You're probably right Uzor. This is just an item I hold near and dear to everything I do as a blm. I probably did jump the gun and freak out. I need to sleep anyway as it's 1am my time. We'll know more later.

Sorry, I'm up late so I might be misunderstanding everything. What I'm saying is that these mobs have been in the game FOREVER and suddenly it's time to fix them up a little bit? WTF?

 

[Negorissimo]

They sure took their sweet time with this...

- The "Bad Breath" ability used by some of the Morbol type monsters has not been reflected properly. This will be addressed.

If they "reflect properly" the Molbor's Bad Breath ability, does that mean the BLU's Bad Breath will be "reflect properly" too? <Hmmm...>

Just because something has been in the game forever doesn't mean a new update can't screw them up. You remember the update with walking worms, right?
