[Dev] Nyzul Isle Assault Bug

ah wasn't aware that Requiscat was like that, will probably merit that after I'm done meriting DEX then, thanks.

It ignores resistances, it's good for mobs that are otherwise resistant to physical damage slashing blunt etc- works well for amorphs and puddings I think, correct me if i'm wrong.

It's not just for that 1 flan NM but for all members of the flan family. Requiescat ignores the -PDT and even Invincible (by giving all its hits a 1.0 damage multiplier, iirc couldn't find my source for that, but think I read that on BG forums somewhere. disregard till I find it again ^^;).

Edit: Beaten by a nice post by Saevel there.

@ Saevel Yes, I remember Camate's post, I just tried to say that I believe from a Dev/Programmer's point of view, it would be much easier to just number the lamps (aka exactly what .dat swaps do) than dropping an entire objective from 1 (maybe 2) events. I also think this should be better for us players since an order floor with numbered lamps would most likely be faster to handle than a same time floor ( especially one with some unlucky adds). My personal favorite story of a same time floor was a mnk voking 2 gears to avoid discovery, then using the lamp - which reset his enmity and ended up with both gears aggroing and us losing 2min <.<

That's very useful to know, should have merited Requiescat a long time ago.

Every source of damage in FFXI has a damage type. Monsters sometimes have bonus damage applied or damage reduced from different sources (Blunt / Piercing / Slashing / Magic / Breath). Sword WS are usually slashing (CDC) or magic (Sanguine Blade), Requiescat has a damage type of "None" otherwise known as "Non-Elemental", its neither magic nor a flavor of physical. This means when the server is doing the damage calculation, at the end where it applies the bones -25% slashing damage, it just ignores it entirely. The monsters damage resistances simply don't apply to Requiescats damage type.

Think of it as a weaponskill version of the twilight scyth.

Exactly, the same goes for WS with Murasamemaru, too.

And in a nutshell it just means that Non-Elemental (really don't like that term) damage has a Damage Multiplier of 1.0 hence ignoring all forms of PDT that some families have. (Tho I'm sure there are exceptions with NMs by now, my first guess would be Kalasutrax) Also not sure if that 1 Flan NM that can aborb ws dmg would also absorb Req of it it would be ignored.

Yeah sorry for that. I assumed SE was still "lamps still ***blockin ya?! Cool story bro". Thats good to hear though. Lamps have always been a pretty big prob but i figured they enjoyed listening to all the hate lol

Lets keep the names of 3rd party hacking programs and what they do out of FFXIAH please.

Is "Atma of the Blue Crab" and "Atmacite of the Red Hat" acceptable?

Wow update happened and this thread died a horrible death.

"Ohh look shiny!!!"

Shiny > all



....damn VW and lack of bodies D:

I'm not asking for bans ... I'm saying SE needs to take a stance and stick with it rather than having a double standard. As in if they ban for nyzul stuff they should for the other third party tools. Also I said that I'd be suprised if they did based on how they handled other recent situations in the same event. Nothing more nothing less.

people got distracted searching the meaning of Iridescence all this time.

Anyway is regretable SE did not prevented this, either that or lazy developers did not give a damn insted of doing it server side.

As for cheaters... they should not complain of a ban if they abuse something that they should not, no matter how "impossible to win without cheating" NNI can be.
