Warning to BSTs!

[Zerila]

They will probably have this fixed soon, but currently, charm is broken on cactaurs and slimes (at least, there may be more).

Rabbits, lizards, raptors were all confirmed to have worked. But it might be a good idea to hold of any major BST leveling for a while... (dangit )

[Zerila]

Nevermind... Fixed in emergency update today.

[Areya]

Why was this even broken in the first place....?  Did they do more of their secret changes...

[Evanesce]

Like the time where they changed the food effect of all Cookies to match Ambrosia?

<_<

Wait, what!?  I don't remember that glitch.

[Zerila]

That would have been awesome!

One thing that people have been talking about, and I think may very well be correct, is that SE was playing around with elemental resistances when they were working on the Enspell II's elemental reduction. Also, I believe there was an elemental resistance component to the WHM adjustments.

What is possible is that they adjusted them incorrectly, resulting in the current "enfeebling nerf" that everyone is talking about. Since charm is light-based, it seems likely that these critters just got their light-based resistance raised too high to land charm. So, it wasn't that charm itself was broken, it was that the monsters were resisting the actual element of the job ability.

Just a theory, but it would explain why something that they didn't even intend to touch got so badly broken for a little while.

It was in "Current known issues" that elemental resistances were off. Hopefully they are correcting that in today's emergency maintenance.

Edit: Not only did they fix it, they apologized!

BEASTMASTERS ARE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH!!!!

[Evanesce]

Do not say such blasphemous things of BSTs! =O Watch out the next time you're walking around... you might get smote by a rabbit or a slime with a light blue name <_<

[Zerila]

You tell him, Eva! ^^

*charms an army of puks to take down their master, the Dragon God!*

I remember a discussion a while back on the BST forums on Alla, saying that, if the Beastmen ever did overrun everything, the last holdout would be a bunch of Beastmasters in the Boyahda Tree.

Maybe we'd let some Dragoons in. They could Super Jump to get stuff off of the higher shelves for us
