Bye bye Al zhabi HP Stupid SE, it was my new home. Back to whitegate MH -.-

 

[ShomeGhuye]

I wonder what happens when that was set as your HP before the maintenance ; . I hope they set it to some place like the center of whitegate.

 

[Rappa]

It's probably still your HP until you change it, similar to how your homepoint is an arbitrary spot in the middle of nowhere when you first create your character until you change it.

 

[Sabia]

Couldn't you just use the MH Al Zahbi homepoint instead of the home crystal though?

 

[Rappa]

No, you've never been able to do that for some reason.

 

[Sabia]

That's where my HP is right now though, if you change jobs and zone to Al Zahbi, it'll ask you if you want to set your homepoint, just say yes. When you warp back to your HP it drops you right outside the Al Zahbi Residence.

About damn time, mine was wearing after about 2400 exp.

Really? I've tried that 20 times and it's never worked. My HP's set to the mog house at Whitegate because I gave up.

That's odd....<()>?

 

[Tiael]

Same here, won't let me, and others, set HP at Al Zahbi MH entrance even after changing jobs, only works for Whitegate MH.

 

[Sabia]

I might be mistaken, no big deal though - Just use your MH to go back and forth I suppose....removing homepoints in Al Zahbi won't solve the problem of overpopulation.

Same here, I've switched from BLU to NIN at Whitegate, and zone out to Al Zhabi...and it's never once prompted me to set my HP there. I've done this probably 30 times since the expansion was released <_<.

 

[Aerdrie]

my question is during beseiged if you die and HP now you are no longer in the zone how do you get back in? Maybe thats SE's way of making it harder for us to win

 

[Direwolf]

No it is just going to make besieged alot harder. They want us to lose at some point and they realize that if we can set our HP to the zone, there is not a chance in hell we can possibaly lose, get pushed back to the HP area yea, but by sheer zerg rushing em we can still beat the NPCs.

 

[mugenteg]

I hate all this server maintnance. Since the realease of ToAU i've lost Argus ToD thanks to this shit. 0-5 and counting.

 

[crookedmidget]

I have my homepoint set to Al Za(tab-key). I just did a teleport 5 minutes ago and warped back outside the mog house in Whitegate. I'll never change it!!!!

I'm not sure but I think SE "fixed" this in a previous maintenance

It could have something to do with this:

[masterorion]

well, my hp was the crystal in al zahbi, my hp still shows as being there. ive seen people showing up out of no where because they had hp. their previous hp was that crystal.
i guess i just cant change my hp from here on out?!

 

[Bajaratt]

Yeah, if your hp was there it probably still is there, this update just stops people from being able to set their hp there in the hopes that it will lower congestion.
