≪Sep. 9, 2008 (JST) Update Details≫

Is this one of the Swift Belt NMs?? I don't recall any of them being particularly troublesome :dur:

This is the one in the Mithra room and I think it's an Elvaan model. He's not hard, but he's the hardest one of them iirc.
 
LOL. Not only do you only get two hours to beat AV, now everyone farming JoL has to deal with it hahahaha.

The elvaan.
Maybe they made him harder :O
 
Also, thank god at this:


No more waiting on people to low-man them, or having to change plans because a LS is taking forever to pop something we need to finish.
unless they give the let's say the marid and wivre flee speed it's still possible to solo/duo with dot and/or movement speed gear. That technicaly changes nothing.
Well i suppose a regen might not hurt.
 
Since status effects such as Invisibility, Sneak, Protect, and Shell are canceled, please exercise caution when activating Level Sync, or when joining a party where the feature is presently active.
I can see it now...
Citadel. 4:59 PM.
"Hold on guys, I'm almost to the gate."
"Activating Level Sync!"
"SHIT. BEETLE AGRO."
Oh, how silly things could get.

Yea, it would need to be done right. I don't think it's too bad of a problem on our server, but we have had issues more often waiting on armed gears than anything else.

One could only hope; all of those NMs are a freaking joke lol. I think my groups only died to Lobais (the tarutaru) once, and we fought every single one of them ...
 
Can anyone else not get into pol?
 
they are doing update on POL also
 
for Tyrath

"The Scholar job ability "Modus Veritas" can no longer be used on monsters without a helix status in effect."

That sucks because it was basically our version of provoke for HNM etc
 
Oh...nice...pol maint ends same time as maint...

I feel like I won't be getting online today
 
No datamining.... ? What will I do while I get home and spend 5 hours updating and another hour trying to log on unsuccesfully?
 
SOMEONE will find a way to datamine, they always do, lol.

The Marid dies in less than 30 minutes as it is. I think it's aimed towards harder NMs, tier3 prolly. And yes if you killing method was kite > bio, this doesn't change anything.
 
Yeah .DAT mining someone somewhere will have it posted in a few hours.

Until I can log on and during update.... I'm gunna play me some Wild ARMs 5 on my PS2 ^^
 
If you delete a random dat, then go to the "Check Files" option in the menu before you even log into POL, you can force an update for yourself.

That's how they're datamining over at BlueGartr already.

Edit: Case in point...
