Ditto. I even have a huge body pillow under my behind and it still not enough. My daughter always tells me that she's going to have liposuction and I can have the fat they suck out injected into my rear. LOL

Oh, just about any thread that contained speculation you'd swoop in and poo-poo on it as "pointless." I don't have to link them all, do I?

I challenge you to link even one.

"Butthurt" seems to be the word of the week around here. Maybe you should learn what it means before you start throwing it around. Maybe if I make an example of those banned last week, they'll come over here all mad, too. They're butthurt.

Me butthurt over you, though? Don't flatter yourself.

Hey, I'm not the one going around in my day to day life talking about that BBQ dude from the internets.

Re: Not Another AV Theory! So Crazy It Just Might Work?

So, you're saying after that whole incident where mods put the "Party Pooper" title on you that you still need proof that you are, in fact, a party pooper?

That was just done in jest and you took it personal. I made the comment in example to that same effect in this thread two days ago and you, again, take it personal.

Anyway, way to derail the thread. Obviously, there was speculation in it and we find that sort of thing fun. Thanks for ruining it one more time. The only thing "pointless" here is the fact you came to bicker.

You guys really just love each other and are cybering on IM right now aren't you?

Can I join?

Re: Not Another AV Theory! So Crazy It Just Might Work?

We popped our five JoLs yesterday and we did not play with AV at all. We were on a short timer in between Einherjar and running to King Behemoth so those of us who even wanted to play with it for a bit didn't even have the time to piss it off.

Not that it takes a lot to piss AV off, anyway. >.>

Thanks Aks for getting this back on track.

Enough with the bickering. Take it to PM's. Any more and infractions will be doled out.

Re: Not Another AV Theory! So Crazy It Just Might Work?

Looks like it still hasn't really be tested, the thread over on BG just seems to still consist of speculation and jaded people bickering at those speculating. So much for "Advanced Discussion."

Sucks most people are either too jaded to try it or just see JoL as a pitstop before other endgame events, but such goes FFXI sometimes.

I especially liked the "If you haven't fought it, shut up" argument (paraphrasing here). You know, because everyone's beating this guy.

Nice Google AdSense they have over on BG right now, btw. Thought I had landed on Killing Ifrit for a second.

Re: Not Another AV Theory! So Crazy It Just Might Work?

Question;
As a relatively new player, my knowledge about AV is pretty slim. However, the information I read about the mob (after, of course, skimming this) says that the mob uses All jobs' 2 hour abilities; and the video posted earlier on shows the player team popping their 2-hour abilities in conjunction with the mob. So, how many in-game shells have tried bringing a full spectrum and attempting to match AV 2-hour for 2-hour? I am willing to bet that this has already been tested, and if so I apologize for redundancy; however, if anyone can give me a heads up I would be grateful.

Re: Not Another AV Theory! So Crazy It Just Might Work?

Oh trust me, that's been done. ^_^ Everything we can think of has been tested to death on this damn mob, nothing seems to work. Think, it took the playerbase about three hours to figure out Ixion, and we still can't figure out AV after more than four years.

Stupid mob.

I believe that was the point of this thread, to point out, "Hey, this was not a blatantly obvious solution at all, maybe people haven't tried the whole 'wearing this torque on this job' thing yet?"

[ShepardG]

Re: Not Another AV Theory! So Crazy It Just Might Work?

I'll go ahead and put my two cents in. The torque and the race have to match.

I.E.

Galka(rage): Temperance
Mithra(envy): Love
Elvaan(Arrogance): Justice and/or Prudence?
Hume(Apathy): Faith and/or Hope?
Taru(Cowardice): Fortitude

Jobs don't matter in my little scenario, only the race corresponding to the torque.

For Instance:

Elvaan Whm has either Justice or Prudence torque equipped. Burns his 2-hr in response to AV's 2-hr and bam, locks that one out.

If you did one race/torque combo response, suppose it locks AV's 2-hr for 10 minutes. Suppose you do all 6, it locks it for 60 minutes. Suppose when that 10 minute timer is up, it reset's that elvaan WHM's 2-hr, so he can lock it again.

Job's don't matter, I just used an Elvaan Whm since Benediction seems to be a big concern. I could just as easily be a Elvaan Blm.

My questions about my little theory are this:

1. Can a 32 man alliance survive a Manafont? or a Chainspell? If they could lock it directly afterwards, so they wouldn't be dealing with it again?
2. How many torques does the average Limbus Shell have? and how long would it take to get them to players based on race?
3. Can anyone tell the Races of the players that 2-hr in the video? I no got access in 'stan

Edit:
The weapons that match the torques don't have to be used, but they might reveal what 2-hrs each torque locks.

Re: Not Another AV Theory! So Crazy It Just Might Work?

So, it turns out the torque idea didn't work out.

Re: Not Another AV Theory! So Crazy It Just Might Work?

And the thread on BG quickly devolved into complete and utter bullshit.

Such is the end of yet another promising attempt to figure out AV.
