Re: TP next to names....

Yea its from the windower posted above. Just remember that maybe the other person in the skillchain doesnt have the windower so remember to say your TP still

Re: TP next to names....

I think this isn't the place to talk about it. Windower is considered to be illegal (a lot of ppl have it nonetheless)

[Aeolus]

Re: TP next to names....

People post the windower all over this site. Its not illegal really, its not enhancing your performance in anyway.

Re: TP next to names....

I never even knew about windower till some random guy mentioned it xD
Too bad I kinda retired before seeing what it actually does.

And yeah, I'm anxious for my return to FFXI.

Re: TP next to names....

while windower is nothing new, I don't think we should be posting links here. You can google for the site easy enough.

Re: TP next to names....

agree with Jei. Though talking about the windower is ok, please refrain from posting links to it.

You would think that Square Enix would have done something like that though. It's annoying having to announce your TP every 5 seconds. There would be a lot less chat spam in parties if a function like that was implemented in the game.

It's intentional that they didn't, the purpose of not putting such a function in the game is because SE wants the players to communicate. They make it were you need parties to acomplish many tasks, they don't want you to just go through a party and kind of just run with the group mindlessly. An attempt to counter was to make it were you had to communicate with the group even if it's just a macro created to tell the group your TP, you still spent the effort executing that macro to communcate that information.

It's an intentional design that they don't show you every single stat to the party members, especially one that would almost seem like it would be beneficial to have. This is why also an alliance you never see the MP that an allianced Mage has, part of that is to push communication at an even higher level.

For someone stating the windower is not illegal, in the technical sense to what the EULA states it is illegal. Just the windower is very similar in a sense to how music is often treated. People downloading a track they find from a site without actually owning the CD, that is illegal but you ask the ones that do it they'll just look at you funny. Some may even say "Really? Hmm, well I don't have police knocking at my door so why should I care?"

As a BLM, having the distance gauge can really help ...

It should also be immensely popular with RNGs ... ;O

Disclaimer: I used it only as a novelty and to test it out. I don't use it otherwise and haven't used it since. I can play this game effectively with or without any of these add-ons. Also, don't ask me for a copy or where you can get it from. Use Google if you really want.

Re: TP next to names....

My SAM friend (when he played) once complained that if he didnt have to post his TP, he'd only have to push a button twice per fight: once to engage, once to WS.

Re: TP next to names....

I agree with macht. besides, even with TP plug in, I still feel a lot more confident to start skillchains when other members respond to my TP macro. It ensures me they are ready and paying attension for it.
