  • Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

    We had a ton of mules with full Dyna access. If we were thinking some ls was going to swipe from us, we'd get an extra glass and pop a mule to sit in the zone for an hour while we gathered and the other ls went somewhere else. A bit pricey, but when we had that shit on a schedule there was no way any ls was gonna steal from us.

      Also risky for many ls's because not all of them are proficient at doing Dynamis. That's an hour lost and if they are trying for clear it could mean the difference between a win and a loss.

        No, you're not understanding me.

        We'd get two glasses, one for the mule to pop and sit, and the other for the linkshell to use. Don't need the mule to be able to enter our Dynamis with us.

          Ah I see what you mean. Ya one ls I was in did that on occasion but we also had the zone taken. People from the other ls do a /search and see who's in the zone and watch. They also have someone standing by the markings spaming it in trade. Not totally foolproof and expensive for some ls's. Guess it just depends on how badly you want it.

            It was usually just this French LS that was trying to get in before us anyway, and they'd usually give up after a few angry tells to our mule. Was always entertaining though.

              LOL Tells in broken English or were you lucky to find someone in it that was understandable? We had this German shell that would swear at us and I know some passable German so it was pretty fun.

                Nah most of them didn't know shit for English, our mule would type what they wrote into the ls chat and I'd translate what I could remember from high school French. She didn't respond to a single thing they said, just watched the tells come in.

                  I feel the same way when aload of Hades peeps preach about how using the calendar is the best thing ever lol. Though i know it wouldn't hurt to have a lil more organisation on the server especially now.

Cuz of that, someone has to find another dyna area and play the same old song and dance pushing their entry time back... and their entry time later that week to later in the evening. Inconvenience failsauce, imHo.
                  Guess we all got use to who's doing what without the need for websites. If people are doing the same you talk to the other ls about it (from what i experience many people gather 30min+ before the event actually starts giving time to choose another zone or have some coop-oration).

                  Also as far as i know you don't own the zone til your in it actually doing the dynamis. Signed up for it or not their will always be people that will be willing to take your zone.

                    Depends on the person, but generally yes, people on Hades when they were shouting would repeat the shout AT LEAST every minute, if not sooner. As if flooding the chatlog is going to make people want to help you more(yes I know the argument that someone could log in or zone in and possibly leave before seeing it. Unless your HP is in WG and you just warp/tele out immediately I don't see how that's the case, but anyway).

                    I didn't go to Dyna tonight cause I have stuff to do in the morning, but apparently they were expected to do Xarc and instead got bumped into Beau looking at where LS members are at. Not sure of the story but I'm sure I'll hear complaining about it tomorrow.

                    And my pet peeve; 70-75. It was very fun the first time cause I was never there, now it's "OMG WHY CANT YOU JUST BE 75 ALREADY SO I CAN BRING YOU TO EVENTS AND MAKE YOU WEAR THIS GEAR". Campaign xp is pretty shitty atm cause of all the people doing it now thanks to the merge. Thankfully Cerb is very full now, so I don't have to wait too long for party invites for my (almost) 74NIN.

                      Fucking THIS, which is why the idea of fucking grinding another 24 levels on any of my jobs made me want to stab kittens. And the reason I never did finish my 73 WAR.

                        My NIN was 72 for a good 2 weeks, it's really demotivating to go through this again. I'm leveling BRD next so I can prolly ride the easy train to 75, but god was I ever so tempted on NIN to pay for a leech spot in an Astral Burn.

                        I really just want to ding 75 and put on my kitty pants so I can make people rage tbh.

                          What sucked for me is even after I got my WAR to 75 I'd still have to finish a bunch of merits on it (some of which I'd had stored up I think, and I was like 3/5 STR when I quit because I'd run out of merits on my other four jobs) and also bust my ass to gear it before I'd even be allowed to play it for events anyway. It honestly just got to the point where the thought of doing all that much damn work just to take a job to fucking Dynamis (which is a goddamn joke anyway, one lesser geared person wasn't going to bring us down that much unless it was Tav) seemed pretty much like a waste of my time/life.

                          Kinda put things in perspective when I was tired playing the game so I could play the game, if you get what I mean.

                            Dynamis - San d'Oria.

                            I don't mind it because it is hard, mainly because it is pretty easy. Just that out of about 20 relic drops... 17 of them where relic guns! The three where 2 beast trousers, and the other was a Warrior trouser.

                              Are they doing it in /tell ??? If they are I see the similarities... but it they (we) are doing so in /sh then it is like the crazy guy downtown at the street corner spouting on and on about the apocolypse. I only want my actualy buddies /t'n me. ImHo, it's more annoying than a RMT spammer cuz you actually have to engage this LS "leader/pud" in a conversation about why or why not and times and blah blah... I just wanna get to the AH and back to the MH and be antisocial about it sometimes.

                              Very true... and on Hades you could still get the zone swiped out from under ya. Poor form for the snatchers. We did quite a few times. Usually the icelands Still... it is good to write out a calender and attempt to stick to it... gameplans are pretty common place when having to organize and herd what is basically a gaggle of cats. Leaving it all up in the air is alot of wasted time in a game that already has a huge amount of needless time sinks.

                              It can be kinda helpful to know where you are going in advance as well, so you can plan ahead for needs... aka jobs, consumables needed (PPs, Ic.Wings, etc), whether or not you even have the clears needed to paricipate... makes no sense to me to leave that all up to chance and in-zone-dibbzy-fighting. We're not in the stone-ages of this game's life cycle... organization is not the devil.

                              Oh well... I'm not leader or a sack so I will only ever deal with the fallout and not be in on the spat.

                              I'm curious if Cerberus was just as top-heavy as Hades... we had some known (infamous) LSs regarding endgame. But I couldn't find anything similar regarding Cerb. Just wondering.... no point of argument to construe from it ... only curious.

                              Yeah.. our LS doesn't count relic weapons as anything but -1 inventory and something to be tossed. The likelihood of attaining a fully functional relic weapon at this point if you're just starting on it is ridiculously low. Wish you could at least take the relic weapon to a NPC or a crafter and have them make ya a piece of furniture.

                              ~~~~~~~~~~~{peev}

                              F'n campaign... especially after a version update that gives more goodies for WotG. 4/5 battles end right as you arrive... that one battle you finally get to fight in ends quicker than ever cuz there are 50-80 people involved at this point... and now... most of the mobs aren't even making it to the fort cuz people are so desperate to get xp/A.N. they are attacking the mobs way far away ... I laughed my ass off when I saw several morons get raped by Shadowhand cuz of their impatience. I can only hope they KO w/o RR too far off to get any aid and learn patience thru HP'n w/o xp/A.N.

                              Name changes... I don't know anyone I used to anymore... Funny there were the peeps who hated the thought and were forced alongside the ones who just wanted a change. I don't mind really but some changed their names to something completely different and it's getting old over LS to see:

                              "who were you... er.. are you ... wtf was your name prior I mean?"

                              I'll learn eventually... maybe. Hopefully.

                                Wow, I just realized a lot of people with bad reps on one server could have forced their own name change by creating a mule on the server they were being merged into. Another reason I am glad Fenrir did not merge.
