What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

And the fact that everyone around were circling like hawks the moment they saw you fall didn't help matters. They know the system allows them to steal it, and they were waiting.

I'm really sorry it happened, Ray, even though obviously it's not my apology to make. It's fun having you in the game, and I'd hate to see you go!

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Yeah, it wasn't our fault. Heck there were very good chances of failing to begin with, and I would've been ok with that. But not like it happened, that kinda gameplay is just an unacceptable mistake on SE's part.

But anyway, we'll see.

I know is silly dropping the game over something like this but I really didn't feel like logging on after that. I guess if I feel like playing again I'll give it another try, if not then that's that.

Oldie but a goodie - Tanks who don't know self-placement so the THF can do it's job. Tired of seeing spinning mobs all night long. Need SA and TA to land for a better chance at TH proc'n? Stand so spinning doesn't happen. Feather steps would also be nice.

Failed miserably at soloing Brooder tonight.

This should not be so difficult to do, but I'm having trouble figuring out what I'm doing wrong aside from "everything".

Ugh...

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

On Brooder, my friend uses/abuses a wall near a grove of trees near where he usually spawns. His tracking allows one to get away rather easily and nuke. You can ws thru the wall too.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I tried using walls but I wasn't very good at it. Even with Alacrity I couldn't get nukes off fast to avoid getting hit. I guess I could try spamming tier 1 nukes or just DoT it to death over the course of an hour but I can't shake the feeling that there's something else I'm missing.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

There's a specific wall that Brooder really has a difficult time with. Without movement speed I was even able to kite him and WS him through the wall then kite him more and WS again once VV had got my TP up or No Foot Rise was available. I wish I could describe the location to you but there's a lot of walls. It's on the top of a slope and the side that slopes down there is a grove of trees. Best I can do.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Brooder is the one in La Thiene correct? If I’m thinking of the right one, there is a stone fence/wall by the NM rabbit area (Marvin or something…drops whm item) that I’ve seen mages pin. Looked very simple. Mage would take 1 step away and 1 step back and the NM would run around the fence giving you lots of time to cast.

It’s kinda hard to tell you which wall/fence, but if it helps at all, it was the one closest to tigers (yet still in rabbit territory iirc).

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Yeah... that one. You know, with the thing and the stuff. Next to more things and stuff. ... That one movie with that one actor who was in that one movie with that other actress who was in other things.

[Romyro]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

, hey at least I give a general idea of where (by rabbits). You’re like…’its by a tree…on a hill’

[Neverslip]

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I wasn't necessarily trying to mock you... I was mocking me, really. Yeah... I totally forgot to mention it was by that stupid fucking rabbit that happens to aggro everything. Is that the only rabbit that aggros? I can't think of any others. I just wasn't expecting it when suddenly I had a homicidal Roger Rabbit on my ass and I hadn't messed w/ any of his friends.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I wasn't necessarily trying to mock you... I was mocking me, really.

Ha, I know I know, I’m just messin. After looking at it, both our descriptions are pretty vague lol.

To sum it up…
It’s on a slope, near a tree, near a stone wall/fence, near rabbits.

also

one movie with that one actor who was in that one movie with that other actress who was in other things.

Love that movie. I hate giving the ending away but my favorite part is when the actor and actress solve that one conflict.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Yeah.. and that was so funny when they did that one thing too.

Latest peeve: Late night inattentiveness. I was trading trophies to get some BLU feet w/ STR. Before I zoned into Aby Uleg, saw a Eye floating about so I tried to farm Eyes on Me. Didn't happen but I usually take all my evasion gear off so the bastards have a chance to hit me and get TP. So I'm discarding feet and I accidentally drop my AF1 feet. No excuse other than just not paying attention... so now I have to get it back. Fool me once shame on me ... so far.

They should have another warning before dropping any armor. I've dropped some pretty costly armor by accident.

It should be...

"Are you really sure you wish to drop really fucking expensive/insainly hard to get armor?"

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Well, to be fair they gave me 2 and the thing that got me was that it was really late and both types began w/ the letter 'M'. Really didn't help that the process for claiming gear from trophies is so mind-numbingly tedious.

Another peeve but related:

I'd really like SE to un-clutter the trophy exchanging procedure. If I'm gonna have to convert all my trophies over for the tier I want to trade, I'd like there to be a far quicker procedure to convert tier 1's down to 2's, 3's, 4's, 5's and vice versa. This needs to be a fix cuz one can easily have to spam over 150 guerdon whatevers attempting to get a augmentation one wants. I tried to beat my THF evasion +10 legs and easily spammed 200+ over a matter of two days (to no avail). Maybe a direct conversion ... even if I lost a trophy as a penalty, I'd be okay w/ that.
