DON’T PLANT ANYTHING THIS WEEKEND IN YOUR GARDENS!!!

there is a 24hr downtime before the patch goes live on June 7th. Don’t lose your plants to accidentally the garden.

Save yourself from the gloomy aura or dead plants :<

Patchmas is drawing very near. I'm withholding judgment on things until they are actually in place. Even after they are in place I probably will still withhold judgment because I am, quite frankly, tired of hearing little boys bitch and whine about the game. Don't like it? Play another one. FFXI will gladly take you back. I happen to enjoy this game quite a bit and I think it's perfectly fine if you hate it, but please, just stop bitching ok?

I haven't been taking very many pictures lately because it's basically just been a rehash of the same things we've been doing all along. That and everyone is waiting to play until the patch comes out and/or we don't have anything of similar ranks. My PUG is approximately 43 now, so hopefully I'll get that finished soon. I'm also working on CON and it's around 34.

1.16a patch today.

Highlights include:

Accepted quests can be abandoned

Eight recipes per class can be stored in the "Recent Recipes" section

Some of my favorite highlights:

Local levequests have undergone the following changes: Players can now choose from among the suggested rank categories of 1–, 20–, and 40– from the local levequest accept/refuse interface.

The condition (%) at which a piece of gear inflicts a player with the Gear Damage status has been reduced from 50% to 35%.

Retainers can now be summoned even when placed in other locations.

It looks like the next patch is set to go live in early March.

Some things of interest:

Storylines and world quests

I like storylines and quests.

Ability to target by type ("PC only" or "NPC only") when using a gamepad

Nooo! Why just gamepad? People do play a PC game with a keyboard from time to time, just sayin! I can't target for shit either and I use a keyboard.

Addition of an auto-MP regeneration feature
