thistlechaser | Ha, Beanie was right (FFXI only)

Was it Beanie who said they'd end the weapon skilling on dolphins? From the update:

When engaging a monster with auto-attack, melee weapon skills will no longer improve unless at least one point of damage is inflicted.

Also:

The effects when using the following items have been adjusted:
...Stoneskin Torque/Blink Band/Haste Belt...

Ugh. Three things I'll be using in my Maat fight. They better not have weakened those. Grrr.

Name change: Jaeger Mantle -> Jaguar Mantle. Ugh! Ugh! Ugh! I like Jaeger! Jaguar sounds stupid and boring, Jaeger has personality!

A new Chains of Promathia region known as “Limbus” is now available for exploration.
“Temenos” and “Apollyon,” the two areas within the region, can be accessed after meeting certain requirements.

...like having Al'Taieu ac'cess and other such an'noying stuff. G'rrrr.

Once more, I don't see one single good thing in the update, just a lot of annoying stuff. Maybe this:

-The areas where an adventuring fellow (fellowship NPC) can be called have been expanded.

Maybe that'll make us able to use them in the Meadows, which would make my life much easier!
