I've always been a dick. Nothing new there. But usually an accurate one.

The first half of that statement invalidates the rest of it. This isn't KI or Alla. When you walk in the door here insulting people then you should pretty much expect that no one will care what you say whether you're right or not.

LK, hope you can get this going again sometime... I'm trying to return to FFXI, but will have limited game time so I'll be soloing alot.

Lighten up, folks. Seriously.

I only see one person who needs to lighten up or go away. When you come into the DRG forums and post on a thread about DRG, and *every* DRG that replies calls you an idiot... that should be a hint.

Oh, and since I have DRG70 too: Spinn, you're an idiot. The same subjobs, gear, strategies etc. don't work for everyone or in all situations. Chain # is not the be all and end all of exp. Most importantly, if you don't pay LK's 15 bucks a month, you don't tell her (or anybody else) how to solo. You can argue about what is or isn't good for a party, but solo is up to that person.

Incidentally, I think LadyKiki's choice of DRG/BLM is fine for soloing. It still triggers Healing Breath, and BLM have the lowest cost magics available to them (well, you might use /SCH these days, but this was back in 2006).

Well, there's also BLU. /SCH doesn't actually help - the MP reduction of Arts doesn't kick in for spells of less than 10 MP because of rounding. Personally I prefer /WHM for RR in Campaign, and /BLU for Cocoon otherwise - but I'm not going to dictate subjob choice to anyone, particularly for solo.

And there's the side benefit of Escape and Warp - notice the setting in the screenshot is Bostaunieux Oubliette.

Actually, Spinn is pounding so hard on the conventional wisdom, he may never have stepped outside the popular party camps. I wonder if he even knows Bostanieux Oubliette from a hole in the ground. Er... you know what I mean.

Escaping or Warping out of there is a lot handier and faster than just Sneaking out, and when you're investing the huge amounts of time it takes to gain one level after another, any reduction in prep time is probably appreciated.

True, but I think I'd take /WHM. Warp can be done with pretty cheap items (even without counting the synthed ones, CP warp scrolls have been around basically forever, IIRC, and you only need one per session), and more importantly, who wants to HP and sneak all the way back into camp if something goes wrong and you die? (But then, I guess if you're not going for chain Ts, even an add or sudden severe lag might not necessarily kill you.)

Plus, on /WHM, you can sneak *in* for free; on /BLM you have to pay for it. But it may not have been LK's customary solo sub anyway (if it were I bet she'd level it, increased HP and MP mean a lot to a DRG soloer), which is one of the things that makes it idiotic to base a rant on part of a screenshot with limited context.

(back when I used to post on Allah,

From the way you responded I figured you were an Alla punk.

Sevv: Learn to read - I'd said, that she was one of the people saying that they couldn't... something Wiki got wrong (Wiki said they could be paralyzed - knowing Ganiman personally as I did and he made me laugh in exp). I realise that it's a failing of yours, but... re-read what you quoted, and go, shit... he actually pulled out one of the things she said and was saying it was right. As in correct. They can't be. Hence why Wiki got it wrong.

Kitten: I've always been a dick. Nothing new there. But usually an accurate one. As Sevv above misquoted, either deliberately, or through gross stupidity. Your pick.

You just don't understand you can't win can you? OMFG I may have miquoted HOLY SHIT O.o! Sorry but you had been dropping my iq with every post it tends to happen I just stopped reaing what you said because i was getting blinded by the sand coming out of your (not getting a warning =O). Your not some god's gift to FFXI, your not some amazing tank or some leet DD. Your not even a dragoon, so again kindly walk away from these forums and be done with it.

One post of explanation of why a (sort of) promised guide didn't come about, and a new promise that it'll be improved and finished soon.

Which is then followed by one post of ignorant criticism that the poster is a gimpy DRG--apparently the second poster didn't notice it's all about soloing or something

Then, roughly two plus pages of flaming, more or less.

Wow. If the pages didn't load so fast, I would have thought KI copied Dreams' default template!

All joking aside, how about dialing back the level of hostility a bit? Isn't "nicer atmosphere" the reason why we hang out here instead of some other places?

I think the reason I came here was for the lack of elitism this board had.

Re: The DRG Solo Guide (Disbanded) ; Response

OK, that's quite enough, folks. This entire thread is a great example of how not to behave on this forum.

TIME OUT.

LadyKiki, if you'd like to resurrect this topic, please PM me and I'll see what I can do.
