That may be what is going to happen. Boost will no longer be a ja that is used upon hit, but a boost like Enspell. Once active it adds some att/acc/crit and weakens over time. This with Impetus stacking could bring Mnk in the right direction for Melee hits and WS. Then again could just be formless being added to WS hits.

Guys, you are all forgetting one thing: This is SE we are talking about.

There's a 10% chance they will get this done right, but a 90% chance that all you guys are going to receive is a semi-buffed Focus and Dodge.

You're correct, this is SE. Which means that they will either give a gimp buff, and say "Balance", or completely over-buff it, and 3 days later, do a patch to make it barely above current standards, and say "Balance"

No they are gonna buff Boost for WSD and let Sam/Mnk be the new DD King. Boost is gonna be working as intended except that Mnk is still.nearly useless and nobody else can sub Mnk except Sam and maybe Apoc Drk.

Months Later, Game Company Apologizes To Square Enix For Ripping Off Final Fantasy XI


[Image via 2ch]
On November 15, 2016, free-to-play MMORPG Chaos Saga launched in Japan. A day later, its service suddenly stopped after character design similarities between Chaos Saga and Final Fantasy XI were discovered. The company behind Chaos Saga has publicly apologized.

Braeve, the publisher behind Chaos Saga, was able to confirm that the game had 24 copyright infringements of Square Enix’s characters and monsters from FFXI and FFXII.

Braeve and service provider DMM Games both issued formal apologies.

“Because of this work’s copyright infringement, we deeply apology for the significant trouble this has caused Square Enix,” Braeve said in an official statement. Braeve added that this was caused by insufficient staff to properly check the game’s assets. Braeve reflected on the trouble it caused and said it’s taking steps to prevent this from happening again.

In a statement Braeve put out late last December, in which it apologized to those connected to this release but not directly to Square Enix, it explained that the Chaos Saga was developed by a foreign studio named Lingyao. Braeve licensed the game to localize for Japan.

DMM Games, which released Chaos Saga, is also now apologizing, writing, “We would like to apologize from the bottom of our hearts to Square Enix and everyone at the company for all the trouble caused by violating Square Enix’s copyright.” DMM Games also stated it was taking steps to prevent this from happening in the future, ending its statement with another atonement: “Regarding this situation, we would like to offer another proud apology.”

Not sure why this has taken this long, but there you go.

Internet Instability Issue (Aug. 25): Follow-up

We have an update regarding the ongoing internet instability situation.

On Aug. 24, 2017 at around 8:30 p.m. (PDT), upper-tier Internet Service Providers (ISP) experienced technical difficulties which led to a major disruption of internet communications throughout Japan.

This issue caused backbone routers (equipment which provides communication between ISPs, for example, through upper-tier networks) to experience extremely heavy load, and at around Aug. 25, 2017 12:16 a.m. (PDT), resulted in a shutdown in a section of backbone routers that connect with Square Enix servers, thus cutting off communications to our servers.

*Our login and game servers are operating as normal.

Due to this, at around 2:21 a.m. (PDT) we changed what network settings we could on our end to circumvent the downed backbone routers, but we then received information that the same issue was also occurring on other backbone routers serving ISPs used by our players. Thus, it is possible that a solution may take some time.

We are continuing to investigate, but if you are unable to log in or are disconnected from the network, we ask that you please wait a while and try to log in again. We apologize for any inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Guessing it's essentially double chance per mob kill to get a chest floor.

'Obtaining' omens is a misnomer, as they don't count toward anything. Instead, certain rolls including 666(possibly also certain totals.. as in hitting those exact values not passing them) will grant you a chest floor after your next boss fight. In the event you hit one of those values, you'll stop getting omen rolls until the chest floor or exiting.

Allowing 2 rolls per mob doubles the chance you'll have chest floors. Pretty straightforward.

Thanks for stating this in clear language. Running omen pretty steady since January, and I just never bothered to pay close attention to the omen numbers because I didn't take the time to really understand them. I always wondered if you had to stop kills after getting one of those "magic rolls", or if the game simply kept track of it once the event happened, and you were set.

Edit: It doesn't really double them, because any mobs after the chest floor is flagged no longer matter until it's 'redeemed'. If being a stickler, it's probably something like 98-99.x% more chest floors.

While they occasionally repeat some like the gigas and fomors due to holding a vote on niconico, they did state that if they brought the frog back they would make it immune to gravity.
