Lol what. Stronger songs overwriting weaker ones is not a bug.

They don't let you sing 4 songs (without the harp) unless you have 4 dummy songs on already right? I don't play bard but that's how I was told it works.

Yes, but overwriting the weak unbuffed dummy songs is not a bug, it is a basic mechanic of how buff priorities have worked forever.

I mean, I think the original rationale was extra songs SHOULD be sung in extra song equipment (that's why it has duration so it can't be overwritten)

Except that doesn't work for obvious reasons and they weren't smart enough to code songs properly so we get imbalanced bard instead.

Then they just decide to let it go until someone brings it up and then they "fix it".

So? That doesn't mean it's a bug for you to be able to overwrite 4songs with a non-4song instrument.

And it's not stronger songs, it's the song with the lowest duration that gets overwritten or the song itself in the case of resinging the same song.

currently it's something like::
Code
Singing song

if have song then
    overwrite song
else if have songSlots then
    add song
else
    overwrite lowest duration


And since the devs haven't touched this yet despite the fact it's been in the game for years, we kinda have to assume it's the intended behavior.

It's not safe to assume anything is working correctly regardless how long it has worked that way.

I know very little about bard, I just said that I was going to suggest on the official forums to allow the other REMA instruments to be able to sing 4 songs. Maybe from a quest that was completed by owning the 4 song harp or something.

I didn't because I wasn't sure if it was a bug or not. In my head you should not be able to overwrite songs in slot 3 and 4 unless you're using the 4 song harp that unlocks slot 3 and 4.

Don't get my wrong, I'm happy how it works I just didn't wanna ruin it by pointing it out there.

It's kind of odd to me they keep wanting to add more mog wardrobes and not just give us more base storage.
You serious?? Now why do you think SE would rather add more $2/month wardrobes instead of free inventory? I just cant think of any reason why a for-profit company would rather make you pay for something instead of giving it for free.

RadialArcana said: »
I thought about suggesting that on the official forums, then I considered that the developers maybe didn't intend for you to be able to get 4 fully buffed songs. The idea in my mind was always to have your fully augmented songs or use the harp that lets you get weaker versions of of 3 and 4.

The way people do it right now is possibly* a bug, so bringing it up might get them to fix the bug instead of anything else.

*rewrote this post a bit

Are you new to FFXI? You must be knew, because they wont "fix" the bug, they will render it useless, and say "its fixed".

They need to make the sub job menu actually work. It's like I'm trying to do a puzzle trying to figure out what sub I need to change to first that'll let me change to the sub that I actually want

Oh lovely, an easier way to abuse Entrust in the lobby and save 15+ seconds in the process.

edit: Just tested this in the Gaol lobby, it doesn't work (yet). Any plans to update this?

Look at lines 44 and 45 of the lua and make necessary changes.

local mog_zones = S { 'Selbina', 'Mhaura', 'Tavnazian Safehold', 'Nashmau', 'Rabao', 'Kazham', 'Norg'}
local moogles = S { 'Moogle', 'Nomad Moogle', 'Green Thumb Moogle' }

Nice it worked

local mog_zones = S { 'Selbina', 'Mhaura', 'Tavnazian Safehold', 'Nashmau', 'Rabao', 'Kazham', 'Norg', 'Walk of Echoes [P1]', 'Walk of Echoes [P2]'}
local moogles = S { 'Moogle', 'Nomad Moogle', 'Green Thumb Moogle', 'Pilgrim Moogle' }

It was pretty obvious he probably mean it was an unwanted/unplanned situation from the devs and didn't actually mean a code bug

to tone down high priced NPC material costs is a reasonable request since they were determined when gil had a lot lower value.

Stop removing buffs on merit BC fight entrances. Its only 10 seconds, but theres no reason for me to need to recast pro/shell/reraise every fight.

And get rid of the skip event option...yes we want to skip event, we want to skip event every time.

That's a tough one. That exists because prebuffing is broken.

They aren't smart enough to make it work for certain buffs. It's all or nothing.

SE makes an automatic select skip event options
but you have to toogle it on everytime you zone...

Buffs dont wear off from Phobos Orb battles though, I just checked my logs from last month to be sure.

Its from the level restriction buff thats placed on the character, but theres no need for a level restriction buff when the fight is uncapped. Sure you can make the argument that no ones pre-buffing for KC30, but no ones pre-buffing for SKC20 or HTMB either.

It used to be the meta. Take a brd and cor mules and prebuff so you didn't have to waste the party slot on them.

Prebuff everything. Never about need but want. Then they slapped those unnecessary level cap status on to stop that.

It kinda doesn't matter now though, just like most of the ***they do. It mattered now it doesn't. it's also unsurprising that there are orbs where they forgot to do it, consistently inconsistent.

That makes even less sense since Phobos was introduced in 2011, Macrocosmic in 2013. Its probably a lazy code copy/paste since Phobos BCNM's were new ones, whereas Macro Orb's are ilvl version of 60 cap.

1. Remove warp ring and give warp to all jobs on the same timer; reduced timer for BLM.

2. Exchange copper vouchers for chocobucks.

3. Remove distance/time of day conditions for coalition surveys.

4. Remove unity ranking and change-up unity trusts to encourage more variety in unities selected.

5. Store seals/+2 items with Joachim.

I dont think this would be doable without breaking the game.

But a simpler change with less game breaking effects would be to despawn all mobs when the timer is up and give 5 minutes in the area. Either that, or add 5 minutes to every instance, and when it hits 5 minutes remaining, all mobs despawn. Same idea, different method.

Make all pre 99 content pop items stackable to 99 and sellable/trade able, just like all the post 99 content pop items for the most part are.

Boom, inventory +billions, across all servers.
