What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

It usually happens to me when I DC and try to log back in without restarting the client.

Your kilometrage may vary.

The Yagudo High Priest. I gave him another run, this time on 81WAR, trying to get his bottled pixies. I was barely through his stoneskin and my hp was in the orange. I guess I'll give it another try when I get to 90 before enlisting help.

i dont remember what its used for, but are the craft materials cheap?
could always just get everything and shout.

It's alchemy 71. But someone's been making it regularly on Sylph, at least.

My client keeps spitting kanji at me when people auto-translate stuff. This has happened a few times. Not sure if I need to run a file check or what but it's getting annoying.

I've heard that's caused by W*****er. They're all the same kanji, right? If so, that's the phrase that means "can't find in dictionary".

I would suggest enlisting help. It will make the whole process go much faster.

When I was doing these, I was 90WHM & took my husband who was 90PLD the first time & then 90MNK on subsequent trips. I'd Recall-Meriph, he'd fight the High Priest. I'd get the Bottled Pixie, use a Retrace scroll, go back to Bastok [S], get another scroll... head to Grauberg [S] & drop off the pixie ... By the time I was ready to start the process again, the High Priest repopped -- husband already fighting him when I landed in Meriph... get pixie... continue.

It's certainly time-consuming, but it works. If the person you take along can solo the yags fairly quickly & if he/she has something to work on (DH was working on Staff of Trials inbetween High Priest pops), it might not be quite as tedious for your helper.

I've had two or three people in my LS offer to help. I'm holding out till WAR 90 before I give in, simply because I know I have to do it 25 times over two trials, and would rather only myself be bored.

MNK/WAR says he'll tank b/c he has provoke.

I then proceed to outdamage him on SAM/WAR without Weaponskills.
Also I'm in charge of pulling.

Monk doesn't ride provoke, much less his other hate building JAs.
Monk can't hold hate.
I can't pull fast enough because I always have hate.

Shitty tanks need to go die in a fire, but they don't die because they never hold hate.

Bad players make Cid a sad panda.

Shouldn't amnk/war be able to be a great tank anyways with an evasion set up? I mean... They have counter, voke, and their charge up skill.

It was a jungle party.

Well... That explains it. Tanks are bad in the dunes, then they get better in qufim, then get even worse in the jungle.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

No, this was just a case of someone who doesn't know how to tank.

Learning how the enmity system works is hard guys.

Yes, very, very hard. It took me the first three hours of gameplay to learn about it.

But in all seriousness... That is what my usual parties where like though through those places.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

So i tried to get some time extensions this morning for an LS event later today and good god did that party fail horribly.

1) The leader was making a group purely so he could leech and was, I can only assume a Lv30 due to /anon being on

2) I was the only healer in the entire alliance and he wanted to fight dolls in Altep meaning copious amount sof barfire were needed on all parties.

3) Nobody (other then the LS members in my party) had the sense to stay in spellcasting range of the only healer in the alliance and all ran off in their own direction.

4) This alliance thought that it would be a wonderful idea to feed as much TP to as many statues as possible

5) Did I mention that I was the only healer in the alliance? And that Barfira only covers your party?

Result was a clusterfuck that resulted in me losing my only stone and people yelling at me for being unable to raise an entire alliance solo while weakened myself It gets worse since several people screamed at me for running out of MP while trying to keep these guys up and started flat out insulting me when they had ran off away from the group with no way of me healing them.

So there was some ragequits with several members whining and bitching at me, one f them even continuing to do so in /tell. The leech leader left declaring that he's going to shout for a better group.

It then gets better. I was trying to tell these idiots that I only have 10 minutes remaining on my V.Status so I had to leave and of course I get the inevitable fucktard who wanted to finish of the page were were at 1/5 on (yes we only beat ONE MOB). Of course this idiot doesn't listen to me or the LS so I have to drop, abandoning a bunch of LS members I really wanted to help to get some XP because, well, what else could I do?

In other words, gimps and noobs who have been leeching in too many worm parties. Worm parties don't need an assist because worms don't chase people around, which is why they're awesome. Anything else will probably need an assist and some sleepga/etc. for crowd control. Did he even get enough BLMs for azure lights? Did he even try to get lights?

Wow, what a fucking retard. The others, too. Maybe he should shout for a better brain first and then learn how to build a proper exp alliance. {/blist} {You can have this.}

Mutiny. Anon leaders of aby exp alliances are suspicious enough to begin with (at least /check them to make sure they aren't naked or in RSE1 gear), but after he proved how much of a moron he was, you stayed around long enough to run out of time?

You would have served those LS members better by getting them to leave the failliance and do something better with their time.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

There was a lot of standing around at base camp and I was the only one in the alliance capable of raising, it took that long to get everyone back up due to weakness giving all raises a 90 second cooldown.

And I was desperate for time extensions for an LS event so at that point I would have gone naked myself.

Sometimes R0 is the right answer. It was an exp alliance, not freaking Die-namis.

And I was desperate for time extensions for an LS event so at that point I would have gone naked myself.

The last thing I would do if I needed TEs is join an anon's aby exp group, if for no other reason than that it usually takes an hour before TEs kick in anyhow. Especially if I found out I was the only WHM. But then I don't need them because I don't do aby to the exclusion of everything else. (700+ stones) If you must join one, try to be a rep in one that's already gained momentum. You do at least have Sojourn abyssites, I hope?

But seriously, people blaming an overloaded healer for not being able to heal them from out of range? WTF is this, WoW?
