What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

/ignorepet wouldn't make any less lag, you still see the pets, but you can't target them. Helpful with you're waiting on a pop and have a macro like /targetnpc

Now you won't try to stun some drg's wyvern or cast dia on Titan. Helps in whitegate when trying to target a npc (ie auction house) crowded by a sea of people

Missing one job for a mission...especially CoP. I'm 4/6 for Ouryu as we speak, and all I need, for once, is a random DD, and a WHM or RDM. Just these two simple things, and I'm set! Wish me luck ; ;

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

A couple that I have thought of while I'm board at work:


1) why is it I can start CoP missions at lvl 1, but I have to wait till lvl 45 to start RoZ missions?

2) why do the portals to the next floors in the crags move each time(get rid of the fakes). If there wasn't a lvl cap or the mobs didn't aggro all the time, I wouldn't have a problem with this, but when you put your life at risk just getting to the spot it may be at and it is a fake portal to the next floor, it becomes very annoying.(as I said eariler, get rid of the fake portals or limit what will aggro in the crags)

3) why is it the only way I can get anything to sell at an Ah is to put it at the Jueno AH(other than consumables).


4) why is it when I need to lvl as thf and I have to solo, the zones I need to goto are controlled by beastmen(so I can't seel items to control my inventory space and I end up not being able to outpost warp back)



That is all for now.

RoZ requires rank 6 as well, and to get rank 6 you need to win the 50 cap fight in 5-1 and beat the uncapped battle in 5-2. RoZ missions lead you to sea, and the missions for RoZ have a number of fights that a low level character will have trouble with. Even if you got to sky as a level 30, you'd have nothing to do there.

2) why do the portals to the next floors in the crags move each time(get rid of the fakes).

I dunno. Bothers me too, but I think it's there to prepare you for aggro dodging in sea. It's defenitly a skill you'll need.

3) why is it the only way I can get anything to sell at an Ah is to put it at the Jueno AH(other than consumables).

Jeuno, Whitegate, Tavnazia, and al zahib are all connected AHs, and thus viewed by more people, thus giving a greater chance that someone will buy it.

4) why is it when I need to lvl as thf and I have to solo, the zones I need to goto are controlled by beastmen(so I can't seel items to control my inventory space and I end up not being able to outpost warp back)

That's life I suppose, gives people a reason to exp with signet on I suppose.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

My LS isn't the only one. Its meant to keep track of who left for what reasons. From lack of time to play, took a break due to RL matters, military duty, who left without attending an event at all, who just jumped after getting the gear they wanted or who just plain quit the game.

Its not just some personal shitlist, its a means to handle possible re-apps fairly. If someone from another LS inquires about an individual applying to their LS, we can tell them our experience and what they can expect.

It sounds like a glorified black ball list to me. I could see if the player was being rude or doing rmt stuff or being offensive, but if they have real life things(such as a varying work shifts, or other things which limit there play time) you should not say that they are unworthy to participate in endgame events. Remember, theses events have to be booked in advance so there is no reason that you couldn't list the time/date and have LS members sign up. It seems a little heavy handed to just kick someone out because they don't always have as much time to play as you do.

Raise-jacked?

Ya i was raising someone and someone else came in and took the raise >.>

It sounds odd let me explain it, I was raising a guy in qufim island (was passing by doing supply quest and raising a linkshell member) and right before he accepted worm popped, before i could grab it it hit him and he died, so i claimed it and was waiting on recharge when someone else with long complex egotistical marco about them being a divine savior or something of that sort came up and raised them before my timer was up, then both left me to finish off the worm... just kinda ticked me off at the time. At least the guy wasn't a complete ass by trying to get mad at me cause he accepted raise in range of the wurm

That's really a silly thing to be upset about. Someone else also decided to be helpful, and get the dead guy back on his feet a little more quickly, rather than making him wait until you were done soloing the worm.

Are you upset that you're out of a chance at raising your healing magic skill?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Seriously. A stupid reason to be upset. Just be happy the guy got raised. It's not a competition.

You didn't read I thing I said. Worse is you quoted it and still didn't read it.

A "left members" list simply keeps track of why a member left. My LS doesn't ask anyone to leave because they weren't online for an event. That's just stupid, we'll leave that shit to the HNMs who are willing to throw away a college education or a job for a video game. I know two linkshells on my server that do that, its shitty. My LS does not punish people for not being online.

This is a list kept for people who pretty much left on thier own accord. If they left after they got something they needed and just hopped to another shell, we can remember that, they weren't here to be part of a team, just there for themselves. If they left just because they currently could not commit the time, that's fine, we make a note of it so we can consider them if they wish to return.

But if somone is online EXPing thier low level jobs and not meeting our minimum event requirements (our minimum is two a week, that's pretty tame), that's when we ask people to leave. I think that's fair. You signed up, you read the rules, you didn't follow them, you're not being a team player - see ya.

We have two officers in the navy, I'm not gonna fault them for being on duty for weeks and not being them, nor would I fault a member. But if such conflicts lead to a member leaving, we'd note it so we could consider them if things changed.

Simple as that.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Pretty reasonable, really. I'm not sure what about your initial post screamed black list to folks.

[KingOfZeal]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Also, may I point out, if someone left for Navy (or other military-related) duty and had to leave the shell because of that, and was a very good guy while he was in the shell, wouldn't you actually take that into account if/when they reapply? In other words, IMO that would actually be a plus to them. They not only had a (very) good reason to leave, but were also good while they were in the shell.

You're in the wrong here. You should always have powder and oils on you.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

ya if the mage is helping you get a point you need to have the items.
