What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

That used to be a problem in my old old LS, I told the leader he should not put it in the lsmes, but just say "Limbus, Monday 7:30." Don't tell people it's Ultima/Omega. Then when it turns out to be one of those, if you're there, great, if you're not, tough shit.

In this LS, we don't have that problem. Events gain attendance. Mandatory events will hurt your attendance (and activity level, which ranges from 1-10 and determines if you are qualified to lot, since different items have different activity level requirements.) but bonus events will only help it. If you miss too many mandatory events, your attendance will suffer and you won't be able to lot anything except that which NO ONE else wants, and/or isn't worth a lot so the attendance level requirements are already low. If you want good shit, though, better keep your attendance up. It's the best system I've known since I started this game. So yeah, that issue doesn't come up for us.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I should ask where a party invite is going to take me... I've been skunkt too often on places they assume I can get to.

... so it's a pet peeve about me not asking enough questions and just saying "[Yes, please] omw"

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

People with no subjobs after 20. It's probably been mentioned, but reason I actually have to vent about this is because this guys IRL friend was making him extremely gimp. I head out to Kazham on my SMN, pt leader is a WHM and his friend is a 27THF, no sub or even a ranged weapon. WHM said that getting the sub for his friend wasn't important till he hit 30 and unlocked NIN, then he could go and unlock the sub. At level 30. They had time to run around literally all of the continent to get the keys for Kazham, yet couldn't get the subjob items in the Dunes or Bubu, cause apparently NIN is the only sub you need. Ever.

I politely told him it's an easy quest, and any subjob > no subjob at all. "It's just a quest man, can do it anytime." My following responses weren't as pleasant, and eventually I convince the NIN to 2hr when the mob is near death, I say my kitchen is on fire and disband party.

Saddest part, while im ranting to the WHM, his friend the THF says midway "I told you we should have done it already." His WHM friend is basically breeding him into a gimp. Seriously, Hades can eat a bowl of shit sometimes, stuff like that is ridiculous.

Wow... a Whm "Dom" ... scary, but kinda cool.

"I cut you... I heal you. I whip you... I heal you. I beat you... I heal you"

edit cuz work cut me off

Also his friend is not allowing him to experience an aspect of the game that makes it way more enjoyable. Had I not gotten my /sub at 18 (I can't say for absolute certainty) but I proly woulda quit. Playing w/o a /sub would have made my early "growing" even more tedious and boring than I already found it.

My buddy made sure I had a /sub and that I knew the sentiment established players had regarding gimpt /subs. I'm really lucky I had a friend to help me in my beginning who knew what he was talking about. Funny, cuz I' now Level'd well beyond that friend; cuz he took a hiatus after he switched his main from THF to DRG and BLU spells drove him crazy.

I'm on Hades server... and was wondering if anyone can tell me what the "deal-i-o" is I see hinted at all the time on here. Is Hades known for being a certain way or something?

I don't mind a few levels off with no sub job or an under leveled sub but when they insist on going to 30 without on, I want to smack the shit out of them. It's also rampant on Midgard so pass that bowl on over here!

So, my current peeve for the hour is...

...people that don't have the balls to tell you something to your face. If make plans with someone and then want to change them, TELL THEM. Don't just go your merry way and leave them hanging, have the balls to tell them why. They shouldn't have to hunt you down and ask you why.

Next pet peeve...

...if you are in an exp party and you are the puller, if the mob comes unclaimed and you are d/c'ing don't expect that mob to still be there when you come back. Consequently, if you are kiting a mob waiting for your ls to come (who is a bit busy killing something else at the moment) and you lose hate because you are d/c'ing DON'T EXPECT THE MOB TO BE THERE WHEN YOU COME BACK. Don't whine to your ls cause you had issues, take it on the chin like a man and wait for TOD or hope that the other ls wipes.

Tune in tonight for more ranting and raving!

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

You know what really bothers me? When I take a break from the game for a few days and do other stuff, then I get all excited about playing, but guess what? The game is pissed, and it decides to punish me for my infidelity by repeatedly murdering my character in new and ridiculous ways. Not only did it kill my excitement for playing again, it killed my buzz. This is just not cool.

Tell us more about it.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

We had about 30 (not joking) unique drops in Dynamis Qufim tonight. Think one could be a Cleric's belt?

FUCK YOU SQUARE ENIX GIMME MY GOD DAMN BELT.

I did get two drops but the one I really wanted eluded me yet again.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I haven't seen a Clerics Belt yet and we get 25-30+ drops in those zones. Assassins capes, yes....clerics belts, no.

Same. Qufim, only 1 duelist, 1 smn, 2 cor, at least 4 thf, zero on whm =/
I'd be happy if either whm or rdm drops next qufim ;;

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I for some reason thought leveling SAM to 37 would not suck ass, a capable melee job with straightforward gear which benefits from the newer 2hand formulas, it can't be that hard right?

Of course. This job sucks worse than DNC did at this level. Despite having about as much dex/acc as possible at this level I can't hit a thing in XP parties, hell I could barely hit the EM-T mobs when I got PL'd by a friend.

In XP I'm pretty much useless. If I eat attack food I can't hit the mobs for my life. If I use accuracy food I hit the mobs slightly more, but I hit for 0 so often that my TP gain is just as slow. When I use in between food I both barely hit it and hit for 0 most of the times that I do connect. I think I've managed to land both hits of Tachi: Enpi on an XP mob once. Total. For 25 damage.

I'd blame it on overhunting to an extent, but the Dunes party I had I was getting both Madrigal and Minuet and still having the same problem. The Qufim party I just had lasted in an hour. With Empress Band up and 660 bonus XP from FoV we managed a whopping 3900 XP in that hour.

Anyways [/rant] but damn I really thought getting this job to 37 would be slightly less painful than it has been so far.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Someone in my LS said the same thing, but I've leveled SAM twice to 25(up to 60 on this guy) and I never noticed an atrocious accuracy issue. But then again I'm a Hume and not lolElvaan. WHIFF MOAR!

Endure with whatever you're using for now, but hell, I'd take FoV and Empress Band over a Valkurm PT at that level. Pick up RNG sub at 20, its great and made things a lot easier for levelling my SAM sub.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

When I took SAM to 37, I had a hell of a time for the first 20-25 levels as well: shitty accuracy and gimped damage output. By the time I hit about 30, the issue started to clear up a bit with more gear options. Plus, meditate is fun at level 30, and seigan will be your godsend at 35.

Too bad you'll get it 2 levels before you drop SAM.
