Re: Hate ToAU

Well, this expansion is most definatley good. Of course, some people will lik it others simply wont. But, I think I can venture to say that ToA has much more potential that CoP. Trying to be very objective, CoP never seemed like a REAL expansion. They could have just made it a big patch. My theory behind CoP was that since THE NA release came already with Zilart, SE felt the need to give us an expansion, thus CoP. Which, didnt changed the way the game is played, all it did was add a huge storyline, a few new areas, and thats it. Nothing a patch couldnt have done.

Then again, that is my personal opinion!

Re: Hate ToAU

Well, I do have to say I'm not that thrilled about the new jobs. I don't have the expansion yet, but I've partied with quite a few of the new jobs, so I feel like I know what they're like kinda sorta. :p I was really hoping for something Geomancer or Chemist action and it was kind of a let down not to see them there. The only one of the three new jobs that has come even close to interesting me is BLU, but that's only because of how overpowered it is XD

Re: Hate ToAU

Like i said, you ask for geomandcer and chemist, others would have liked necromancer etc. Everyone wishes for different things. Some people get what they wanted, others did not. Personally, I find the 3 new jobs to be very interesting. I have to to experience the corsairs xp roll stack with my empress band and see the results. Bluemage is the one I am currently leveling, and once Im done taking BLM to 75, blue mage will be on 1st priority!

In the upcomming months, we will get the chocobo races, the chocobo breeding and the colesseum. Things will be very interesting!

Re: Hate ToAU

the OP of this thread obviusly never really experienced the new Expansion.
there are nice quest with great rewards. (for example the vit+4 throwing item which is better then rosnbogen 0.0 )

Not necessarily, maybe people still prefer the +10 HP from Rosenbogen over one point of VIT, especially for HNM play. Not to mention the fact that if you're a rich bastard and can get a Rosenbogen +1, you get +12 HP instead and the same VIT boost.

I am RDM and I got the seashell though, primarily because I often find myself fighting crabs, particularly Steelshells. I have yet to try it out.

Re: Hate ToAU

I absolutely love the expansion. It's where I go to destress from other game activities. I'm known to run off to an unexplored corner, tempting death with every step.. and laughing like a lunatic when I die. At times it feels like I'm the excited newbie, exploring strange new lands, wondering when and where that next monster will jump out and try to kill me.

Besieged, Assaults, the new missions, the CS's, the new areas.. so far I love it all! I don't even mind the lag or the 500+ players in Al Zhabi (sp)!! It's new to all of us and a great chance to meet new friends and share new experiences with my fellow FFXI gamers.

Re: Hate ToAU

The Corsair's roll + empress is impressive. Fighting crabs in Qufim i got 392 once 0.0. Went from 800tnl to 400tnl in one fight, i was happy. lol

you miss the point, this doesnt make this easy quest less rewardable.
you get a Vit+4 item for ranged slot that is for free... i dont know many other quest that are that easy and give you such a nice item ...

Sadly, if you throw it by accident, you can never get another one.

Re: Hate ToAU

I've been meriting in ToAU areas on imps and flies recently and I don't think the imps are really as smart as all that. Most of my job as pulling bard has been keeping chains up (with 5 ppl we got #18 in one area on imps and flies, and it was with a non-standard pt of BRD BRD THF NIN MNK) so I've seen what they tend to do if you "run away" (i.e. pull, heh). Approximately 25% of the time they'll cast blaze spikes. The rest of the time they'll cast some random spell on you, everything from poisonga II to thundaga/firaga II to drown. I think I've been slept/stunned once on the way back, and that's from approximagely 4 merit points worth of exp and being the main puller in each instance. So I'd disagree that they have particularly good AI to stun/sleep you on the way in; I think you probably just got unlucky :/

They're very easy to sleep as a 75 BRD. They're also deliciously squishy. Just take 2-3 stacks of echo drops per pt and you'll be fine.

I loooooovvvvveeeee ToAH, and I'm only 60 O.o I don't see what your problem is... Assault is awsome if you do it right and play the right ones.
