Getting back into Red Dead, so I wanted to save this for future viewing.

Stat Modifiers (Placebo+1)

FFXIV stuff follows. Hey, you were warned...

I want some true answers from players, about something.

I've been reading some posts online, from players complaining they can't see the actual benefits, from certain stat modifiers. Posts like this one:
I don't know about STR, but I can tell you from my tests with a parser that DEX is worthless. I originally had my DEX up to about 70, my parser showed about a 56% hit chance (that's with misses and evades counted in...ugh). I then took the next few hours removing my DEX. It's now down to 46, my parser still shows me at 56% chance to hit. I'm now working on upping my STR, VIT, and MND to their caps. (source)
Looks like the jig is up? LOL

I HATE how SquareEnix has decided to leave it up to various "community sites", to collect and disseminate info about their MMO, by the only means they can: simple trial and error. Then when SE (or its loyal legion of propaganda bots) doesn't like the results people report, they accuse the FF community of "misunderstanding", and "spreading false rumors".

Like this one? Who can be sure. SE isn't talking.

It would probably help things along, if SE could, oh I dunno, occasionally find it within their omnipotent benevolence to put out some official concrete information, and detailed descriptions of the various (semi-ambiguous) features in the game they're trying to sell to the public. It damn sure wouldn't hurt.

Maybe they'll have an official game guide out, by the time I start up on PS3 release. Assuming that still sees the light of day.

Feel free to share your results on stat modification. TIA.

I Still Has A Blog

Haven't wrote anything in forever. Checking to see if this thing still works.

Just sat through a discussion, that basically 'informed' me of several 'facts':

Barack Obama wasn't born in the United States. He was actually born in Kenya. Upon taking office, one of the first things he did, was suppress government documents that would expose his ruse to the American public. He's generally a shitty President.
I think my eyes are still rolling.
