What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Sounds like you need more Stuns and Addle. I've got some Nyzul tonight, but hit me up this weekend if you need a hand.

If it's anything like the Voidwatch pixie it'll cycle through the seasons so you can at least anticipate when the next round of nuking is coming and throw on an MDT set until it passes.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Just did 2 more. These went a lot more smoothly. Again... a low man group. Here was the setup:

NIN/WAR <---Me
WHM/RDM (Dispel is my friend)
DNC/THF (for violent flourish and TH)

I told the DNC to focus on Stunning only the AM and AGAs and the WHM to dispel it any time it changed seasons to remove anything that was lingering on it.

I focused on finding red and procing it back to back to back as long as it wound up being for Katana, Sword or Dagger... since those 3 have the hardest hitting WSs I can use outside of Blade: Hi. It worked out well on the first kill... the second time, Red was Ice... so I had to knock it down the hard way. It took a while with only people WSing on it the whole fight... but I don't think I took a single point of damage either.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Since when is assuming everyone is a dick a good excuse for being a dick. We were in Aby-Attowha last night killing Berstuk for head seals. Towards the end a group comes in and we have the following exchange.

them /s I'm assuming one of the million people you have here needs mnk seals.
me /s yes
them /s i'm assuming you won't trade pops too then, thanks a lot
me /t Are you asking us if we will trade pops with you, or are you just assuming we won't
them /t a little of both
them /t people aren't courteous in this game anymore
me /t I consider myself a courteous guy, and I have no problem sharing the pop with someone who asks
me /t but you aren't giving me much of a reason to be courteous are you?
them /t i just don't see it anymore
me /t in the future, just ask, it's a lot easier than being a dick right off the bat
them /t i apologize
me /t okay, now, if you would like to share the pop, that is fine with us
them /t thank you

Everytime I go to an NM, if someone else is there, I always ask to take turns popping it. If they say no or ignore me, then we can compete for it, but it never hurts to ask.

Hey Cid. Changed my macros on COR from /p to /echo. They will no longer bug you... and I actually kinda like /echo now. I'm kinda on an /echo macro spree. Thanks for that.

I did leave one in. People need to see it.

Snake eye
/ja "snake eye" <me>
/p THERE CAN ONLY BE 1!!!

... classic

My /p macro for "Snake Eye" used to be "What good is being the ONE if you're THE ONLY ONE who knows it?"

But then, I removed it because it was utterly dumb.

I always ask. Even when I'm with people who chooses to be vigilant about it right off the back, I still speak my peace on the matter. I just hate it when the other groups tend to remember me the most as the bad person considering I am the one who would send /t or /s stating that we COULD take turns. But I usually am not party leader, so it gets ignored lol...

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Wondering if I should quit SCH. I used to like it when my old LS used to ask me to bring it out for Limbus and such. But now I hardly play it. People hardly ask me to. And when I do choose to be on it, I don't enjoy it so much anymore. I don't even like talking about the job.

Maybe I should just quit it and level RNG like I've always considered doing? Really, the only thing preventing me from taking it up is that I suck at making money...

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

I hear ya man. I’m on the same boat with some of my jobs.

That’s how I feel about Smn specifically though. Back it the day it was fun as hell to play. Bsts tanked, Smns/Pups did damage. But these days you don’t find many large groups of Bsts/Pup/Smn parties. I just have such little use for it…

MP is so easy to manage with all the –perp/refesh options too. I used to be my favorite job but I’ve rarely touched it in months (possibly even a year)…with the exception of getting it to 90+.

Missing stuns. You slip up on one stun at a crucial moment and the whole fight can go haywire. Harumph. I need more practice and a set that includes more haste/fast-cast.

Incidentally, does anyone know how important M.Acc. is for landing stuns on newer content? I know it's pretty accurate out of the box, but some stuff's resistant. I dunno which slots to sacrifice for better recast times.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Getting a little nervous...i only had 30 minutes at lunch today to try and get everything setup (my account was shut down on Monday for lack of funds (wife's fault...seriously)).

I was having trouble on the SE site with my SE ID name and also when I was trying to actually log in, it kept saying my ID/Password/1-time Password was incorrect.

Didn’t have much time to investigate...but I'll be working it out to night.

I'm freakin out though...what if my precious Romyro is gone for some odd reason...

/em starts freaking out even more...

Just be patient. When you get enough time, just try logging in again slowly to make sure you're not missing a letter/number.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Yep... and next time the condom breaks... just patiently wait 9 months. Everything will be fine.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

already retried the password multiple times...which is why i'm freaking out...but we'll see what happens.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

Have you tried changing the password? When I didn't have enough Crysta in my account and didn't realize it, I had to change the password before it worked.

Re: What's your pet peeve in FFXI?

i'm thinking thats what happend tbh. i was also having trouble getting on the SE site to re-signup for everything. i just ran out of time before i had to go back to work. so hopefully everything will work out tonight when i get back home.
