The version update has arrived. I wish I could say that I'm wholeheartedly happy with it, but I don't think a version update has come in over a year that I didn't have some problem with. So let's get the bad out of the way first and then we'll move along to the good.

Firstly, I'm *incredibly* disappointed that SE decided to cancel the ranged attack enmity adjustment. Nimbex and I discussed how big damage should merit big hate, but it really is out of proportion for RNG. It's common knowledge that just activating Barrage + Sharpshot (without firing a single bolt) is nearly the same hate as Provoke. That sort of spike in hate is uncalled for before you even do anything >.>; On the plus side of the ledger, I'm hoping (I haven't tested yet, though) that Camouflage will take some edge off of that hate spike. Like being under Camouflage when you actually fire off the Barrage. And Sharpshot / Barrage / Camouflage are all on a 5 minute timer.

... Which brings me back to wanting some more ENM- because that leaves me with my pants down for Slug Shots :/ I mean seriously, I have ENM- in my RNG build (and Slug Shot build) and I get hate easier than I do on SAM or MNK which both have ENM+ WS builds. I'm not joking and that's what's sad. My RNG only has 3 less ENM- than my *WHM* does and if it looks at a mob funny it screws up hate.

This irks me not from any misplaced sense of self-preservation (we've long ago learned that I lack that)... It irks me because RNG completely screws up everyone else's day. Tanks get peeved when hate is pulled. DD get peeved when hate is pulled and they lose TP on a WS that unexpectedly misses. Healers get peeved 'cause RNG has the defense of a wet paper bag and keeping them alive can be trying. An ENM adjustment wouldn't have just helped RNG, it would've helped everyone around the RNG and I think it's a mistake for SE to have not made it.

On an unrelated note, SCH got its Wheaties pissed in too with regards to Modus Veritas. The story I've heard is that it was done because people figured out how to Helix-burn AV. If that's the reason I can see making *AV* less susceptible to Helix, but not with swatting the JA like they have. It's on a 10 minute timer FFS >.>; Even more than that and as someone who feels offended by SE's stupidity on a fairly regular basis... But isn't this like the 4th time SE has adjusted something relating to AV 'cause players had the gall to figure out how to kill it? Seriously, I'm getting sick of it. Just leave AV alone and let players kill the damn thing. It's been out for YEARS now and people are already setting a death timer on FFXI, so why the hell not?

One last complaint, but obviously all those angry emails about not enjoying having to farm stuff for Scenarios didn't sink in. To be fair (and I don't think this should count in the least) at least the 3 items you farming aren't rare/ex! So someone else could go farm them for you and then sell them for an outrageous price. That's fun on a bun right there.

Anyhow... The best part of any version update is being able to store all the event gear that's been clogging your safe for the last few months. Yay space! I promptly filled it with other crap >.> So I broke even at best. I picked up the Black Racing Silks with increased chance of Jackpot when playing Hot & Cold. To be honest, a bottle of BBQ sauce does the same thing, but I love how it looks <3 I've been wanting these jackets for a long time :3 Check out the "Chocobo crest" on the back of it :D

Yosa was poking at the Bastok WotG national quest and ran into one of the countless new NMs that are out and about. Unfortunately the one he found was a Taru shade BLU that's True Sound and killed him quite dead before despawning (yes, it despawned like that Lamia does). So I went down to EN_S and Raised him, then we decided to poke at the Windurst quest line instead.

You'll have to forgive any fangirlish squeeing, but the Windurst story has finally hit the point that I've been waiting *two years* for it to get to. That's right, it's finally met up with the RNG AF story and holy crap are a lot of different plot threads being pulled together all at once. My jaw was on the floor for most of this evening. Even with knowing the story of Nhev and Syu and how it'll eventually turn out, it was still squee worthy. I'm highly biased because the RNG AF story is one of my favorite in the entire game D: I <3 <3 <3 <3 <3!!!!! it.

Anyhow! The story involves having to do an escort of Nhev and Syu. Yosa and I duoed it on our second try. To be fair, we would've gotten it the first time if we had any idea at all where we were going >.>; I'm not sure how inclined I'd be towards soloing it (though I'm sure it's possible). It's just that controlling 2 NPCs that have different "run away" conditions could get complicated D: The reward is the Kitty Rod, which turns you into Syu. Notice that she's not the standard Mithran kitten model and that she has stripes on her upper arms o.o;

Yosa and I kept going with the story and that was another pile of OMG :O! Definite plot twists that neither of us called, especially with the hint-laying at the end of the last WotG mission content. Part of the quest took us through Castle Oz and we encountered yet another new NM, so we cursed it >.<9 It dropped a metal bit synth material thingy that I'm sure we'll figure out what it's used in sooner or later. Yosa and I are at the point where we'll need more friends to finish off the quest. So everyone hurry up and do it o.o The story is jaw-droppingly good.
