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.

Gahhh, tell me about it! Did my first Dynamis - Beaucidine the other day, had 5 sorcerer's coats, 3 abyss bodies (drk), and two wyrm bodies (drg)...wish they could /random it up more a bit...

My LS does sandy as a farming event, same with Bastok, I think we cleared Bastok last time with 30 extra minutes and not a single mob left lol...300+ byne bills and not a single 100 byne >< broken treasure hunter 4 what what? lol

Lol. The only other thing that dropped besides the 1 Byne bills where 1 frozen head, 12 infinity cores 2 girffen hides, and 4 fresh orc livers. Other than that, nothing else lol. We finished with 50 minutes left. Only wiped twice lol. First one was because a bard monsters just HAD to cast a spell then link like 20 others, the other was from the ninjas lol. They suck.

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.

Do it in /tell or /say i guess lol What do you guys do when the calendars are overbooked?

Also loved the little taru with the random facts in wg @.@

and I liked the RMT spam i miss my daily puzzles....now i only get one a day and it's had no effort put into it at all trying to get past filter

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.

I agree we do need more organisation especially since we're practically double or more the amount of people from before. My ls leader has been doing dynamis for 3 yrs and haven't had a problem with any ls stealing zones and wasn't as bad as people keep saying it is.

There is one ls to look out for who from my knowledge which have been notorious for it in the past and that is Jponry. As i know they use to camp zones knowing people were going to gather there and someone would just come out of mh as soon as the ls was about to go in and take the zone. They did this to my last ls but they managed to get their own back when one of their members traded a couple of glasses accidentally to my shell lol. I think they stopped doing it but have started again now due to the increase of people on the server even though he says everyone should use the calendar which is a bit hypocritical of him tbh.

Other thing i don't like about the calendar is i guess it leaves you more vulnerable to that kind of behaviour.

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.

This is why i wont be doing Campaign for quite awhile

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.

That must really suck, why i've been partly unfazed by the shouting in wg for ls since i guess it's another way to find your old ls pals and will probably decrease after awhile (just wish they'd shorten their messages so it wouldn't be so bad) >.<;;

/cry FIVE blm coats!? I never did get my drk af2 body....

You know if there is one thing that could get me to play again, it would be Dynamis....I absolutely LOOOOOOOOOOVE Dynamis!

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

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.

Yes... I bet there is a contingent on Hades wondering what Gummybear changed to this time. He switched servers after pissing over people then came back and had switched his name to Dankbuds.. search the profile on AH.com for a few laughs and a good example of what not to do in a community like ours.

I was there for the ninja-lotting in a city Dyna gear...

Sadist... lol.

Nothing but for ya TGM

Yes 5! I had only seen 1 drop before that, never that many. BLM is my 2nd/alternate so I didn't get to lot on it, my LS lots based on 1st, 2nd, free-lot, smn being my 1st and brd my 2nd...turns out there were 5 ppl who had blm 2nd that wanted it, so I did /cry as well

I don't think that Helenus's Earring exists.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

In one of my ls's, we had a rule that you did not pass the leader. Whoever was the lead of the group was the line you did not cross. If you ran off without the lead's permission, you were dropped from the pt/ally and not allowed to do the event...period. People quickly learned to stay behind the lead BUT that didn't mean we still didn't have people getting unwanted aggro and dying....oh hell no...stupidity can find any crack in the system. lol

Who came up with that rule some control freak? Some people like structure and some do not. In my linkshell I give everyone a sack that way no one complains who is this and that. So, if anyone does get way out of line I will kick them out of anything... That simple.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

There's a big difference between stressful endgame linkshells and social linkshells. When one person aggroing can cause a complete linkshell wipe (thus leading to about 20 minutes of downtime) I don't think it's too terribly unreasonable to have rules against things like passing leaders or running off on your own.

If all your linkshell does is a coulple of Sandy missions here and there and maybe a BCNM, it's a tad different.

I understand that and when we actually do missions we do designate one person to be the leader but accidents do happen is what I am talking about mainly. If someone is acting stupid I do see the reason for getting upset and should be warned after that then yes your out... So, I see your point and agree with it some what...

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

My first peeve in a long time.

After 4 years of the same character I get plonked on a new server and have to change my name.
I wouldnt mind but from looking at ffxiah the name has no transaction history ever so I lost my name to a mule.
I know it's only a game and an avatar but I feel a bit disheartened, To think that I lost it to a character that isn't used leaves me somewhat butthurt too.

I'm in an identical situation, plus I'll have to change my mule's name. Then again, I knew I'd have to change my mule's name, because THAT person had an AH history, and with some fairly high-end drops...

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Sorry to hear that Nuriko, Sending much love your way /hugs
To be honest I dont mind having to rename it's just confusing when being spoken to now.
The worst part is that I lost it to a mule I put a fair bit of love into my character and I know that isnt the case for the holder of the name now.
I wish there was a way to appeal to SE or if it had been done on the basis of most levels on the character or whomever held the name longest got to keep it. I just feel like I've been penalised for being in the wrong place at the wrong time.

For people that had to move we had at first no Idea when the move would be taking place so we was careful what we put on Ah. Gardening seemed too risky too, Everyone and their uncle was farming for their life.
So we finally get plonked onto the server face abuse for not being native which is stupid considering both worlds are exactly the same just different people. Even getting a tele is rediculous first thing you get asked is if you are from remora then they either drop you or hike up the prices.

Now to top it off is the trial of the magians, It looks pretty cool and some of the results are great but people are running into known camps for soloists, FOr me it's Ullegurand range down the ramp whe Feu Foullet (Bomb NM) spawns amongst buffalo and hares. There's no consideration for other players I even put in my search comment my target and pets. hoping that they would be kind but hell no.
They need 100 rabbits all 10 of them. Needless to say it took me about 3 hours to rake in 5k exp

I can't call a Gm because it's not griefing me it just happens to be an inconvenience on my part. It makes you wonder if SE actually know anything about their own game.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Meh... that's sad. I was really hoping the move would be more of a postive thing than a negative. Not sure why people play online games just to be asses.

Because no one really knows who you actually are online.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Level sync. There's nothing like getting new equipment, abilities, and weapon skills and being unable to use them. My bolts are completely gimped because they remove the additional effect. Plus, my combat skills suffer because I'm unable to raise them on enemies my level.
