Charm vs Sabotenders brokenFollow

Update, we tried on another with 5 BST and went 0/130~ before killing it. We are combined 0/200+. Charm confirmed broken vs these.

That's strange, that it would be Sabotenders, of all mobs.

If I could log in right now I'd go check other areas like the deserts and see if it's all cactuars.

Is gauge giving the regular message? And is the mischarm message the same as when you mischarm a normally charmable mob? I wonder if they moved them to the "greater" mobs, or if it's just a glitch.

Hopefully the latter.

(Unless this is a hint that they'll be letting us choose Sic soon, but that's a pipe-dream.)

Well, at least cactuars aren't a heavily used exp family, so it shouldn't bother people exp much.

Unless it is, as you assume, a glitch with Resist Charm. That might hurt a few camps.

GM conversation.

Thanks for that.


I'm really quite pissed over losing 2000xp to this...

Just got through charming a few DC Raptors in Cape Terrigan as a 72 BST. So they don't appear to be tampered with.

Can we get mad at SE now? Apparently Mandies are broken too... Which leads me to believe The Boyahda Tree camp is for the time being, a dead camp.

Glad i checked the forums. Guess no B. Obulette for me tonight.

いい目してんねぇ～　サボテンねぇ～

well yes...

when i come home from work i'll be heading straight to boyada. if i should NOT be able to charm korrigans and there is no message on square's website that they're going to fix this immediately they'll lose another paying customer today. i'm so fed up with this...

If Gauge still said that we could charm, it's not like they just flipped the "Charmable" switch to "no". So very strange.

I really wish SE would let a percentage of their customers copy (not move!) their character data to a test server to test these updates. We could catch these issues well before the update happens.

For those that haven't/don't want to check the SE page, this is going to get fixed today. Wish I weren't at work, I'd love to test it and see if the charm resistance is about the same after the update.

I'm guessing that the natural charm resist trait that a few mob types seem to have was accidentally adjusted somehow, that would explain why only charm resistant mobs are affected.



As for raptors, I believe its only certain types of raptor have the charm resist bonus, the CoP ones that can use frost breath certainly have it.

I've just gone 0/14 in Uleguerand Range trying to charm the DC Nival Raptors (72+49chr), Calling Carrie and snarling when ever I was close to death. I was aiming for 20 attempts, but I ended up running out of CC and dying (I forgot to check my inventory before I headed out ><).

Still 0/14 is pretty bad, even by their standards so I'm guessing these ones are also immune.

I wonder if it works both ways and Charm resist equipment is also affected? It would be pretty fun going against certain Lamia NMs and not getting charmed XD

EDIT: 0/20 on Nival raptors now, went back as I had nothing better to do, I think its safe to say they are broken too. Tame failed everytime too 0/3 attempts.

Hmm, this would be awesome, if even for a few days. Copycat KSNM anyone?

I was wishfully thinking that it was because I was planning an to solo or duo my Gaudy Harness over this weekend. *sigh* I guess I will have to enlist in more help.

I am actually stunned that people are actually still defending SE saying, its ok they don't test the patches that they shouldnt be expected to.

I would love to see these people get a job coding software and put something in not tested and see what happens to them.

Awesome. Where's my 2.5k exp compensation?

Well, with fingers crossed, I went to charm another Mousse in Pashow[S].

Success! First try! XD

....and Peiste Skin on first kill (currently going for 100k on my server)

I still want my 2k back -.-
