What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Thank you for at least reqignizing that mage job is hard...most DD's that are only DD's dont realize that and think that if they die its the mages fualt for being lazy. Thank you.

Your welcome. I totally see where you're coming from... and am consciously chosing never to tread that path for my own sanity and the healthcare of my controllers. Just don't teabag me in Besieged as the event ends when the reraiser NPC has been jailed please.

SAM: Constantly trying to get in front of the monster as people turn it ever which way but facing me.

Ah... THF... god how I hate-HATE tanks that don't understand how SATA setting up works. Even after several people tell them... in many different ways. And ... gdi... Galka's seem to be be the worst cuz they are soooo damn chunky. Some of the best midlevel parties I've ever been in were DuoTHF parties. The amount of dmg THF puts out and the amount of hate control they have seems to always be forgotten by your average to stupid players. Smart party leaders know THF isn't just there to get you more bird wings.

...and then there's PUP. All the busy of a back-line job in a full party, when playing solo.

But hey, it's PUP.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Ah...people screwing other people...thats my peeve every day.

Just found out that the leadership in my last high end endgame ls just took the bank, sold it, and quit. The leader was a girl and her b/f....and the b/f was an obnoxious prick that 90% of the shell hated but couldn't do anything about. I had enough when I saw the rampant favoritism and got my ass reamed and put in the penalty box for speaking up and trying to help others. I smelled it in the wind...it wasn't the first endgame ls that I'd had this happen in before. I was just Skyping with old ls members and laughing our butts off at the shit this chick thought she was getting away with but it was funny how all the established members were dropping like flies. Now one of the long time members that has an ego issue is trying to reform the ls and enticing old members to come back. All I can say is...

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I need Nyzul 61+. So what do I wake up to?

A shout for 41+. A shout for 81+. A shout for 71+. A shout for 40.

Last week there were 71+ shouts two days in a row by the same person, and a 66+ shout that was 2/6 so it probably wasn't just in the middle of the climb.

The worst part is that I joined a 51+ when I needed 56+, then the leader (with him presumably still having a tag left) goes afk after we hit 60, someone else has leader, and disbands the party rather than just passing lead back. I could have had 65 for that 66+ shout.

Yeah I know, less QQ more pewpew, start your own. Sorry, I don't have enough nyzul experience and don't know enough about DD jobs to go starting one yet. Some people apparently farm the gear floors for months before even starting a climb. Someone in the LS was seriously considering the 16000 WS option to get Atonement, but somehow he managed a 1-5 run.


More interesting is that it's apparently become hard to get DDs for Nyzul lately, even for gear floors. I guess the "reservoir tip" is out and pink is in now. Or they're all out fighting magian trials:

Healers who cure-bomb onry.

PLs who refuse to let tanks tank.

It was an interesting weekend in the jungles on Warrior.

Or they still shout at 2/6 and even 1/6 with "A: X" ... every damn shout I see is "A: X" and minimal sized party. It's not even that great a gear in comparison now so I'm not worried about it anymore.

That's what "reservior tip" (askar head) and "pink" (perle) were referring to. I've been in 40 and 60 groups that had trouble finding DDs even with freelot askar.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

"pink" (perle)

I don't see the Perle Salade as pink... I see the that god awful Araure set as pink... so ugly. And yeah.. the Askar head has never been on my to get list mainly cuz Walmart Turbin kills it. I'd rather have the Perle Salade anyway now cuz there's the same haste on both ...even tho NA has a -1% misprint on the head pc.

Perle is white. Aurore is pink.

And Teal is self-explanatory. (Are any mages actually using that set, by the way?)

I don't think I want the whole set.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Pashhow Marshlands [S] and weather.

I'm thinking that I want to wait a bit and see how some of the magian weapon trials pan out before going for one of the multihit swords. So in the meantime I figure that I'll go for 2x def down swords, as they are quite nice and will be VERY nice if you take a guesstimate and extrapolate where they will be damage wise and potency of def down.

So yeah, 22/50 leeches left and can only kill maybe 3 of them before the weather stops on me. If I'm lucky and the weather last longer than 3 minutes I might be able to kill 6, but that's a big maybe.

Seriously SE, 20 minute wait for weather only to have 5 minute duration at best?

Looking forward to getting to the beetle part, I'm going to destroy those suckers as Blu/Sch again! :D

Got my fingers crossed that you can still use different trials to get other trials done. I'm hoping that'll speed up my 350x procs vs weapons in order to get my Shamshir.

teal set is pretty damn good imo (as a RDM). I got every piece but the feet and i dont know if i will even bother with it. the body and legs are great nuking near, and i dare say some of the best outside of morrigans. the head is great for other mage jobs but i dont find it that appealing for rdm nuking. AF hat has 3 less INT yes but had 10 ele magic skill and FC. and the FC on the hat is the same as the whole set combined. the hands are straight up the enfeebling hands that i can think of atm. 3 MND 5 MACC....dont know of any hands that can beat that. The feet have +6MND and are good for a mnd build but you can get errant piggache +1 (forgot +1 name) that has same MND plus mp. so besides from morrigans the errant piggache +1 will do just as good.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Perle is white. Aurore is pink.

So I don't like to spam /check all the time. Either way, I see a LOT of "Pink Panthers" running around, and apparently Nyzul gear is on its way to the gimp pile.

Most of it was already there to begin with.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

So I'm studying me some Japanese. I decide to go with the most obscure wordlist on this website I use, for a bit of a fun distraction.

Come across 明鏡æ¢æ°´. 'Clear and Serene'; literally 'Clear Mirror, Still Water'.

Something seems oddly familiar.
