I still honestly think Einherjar Odin is the best designed fight in the game. (at the time of 75) If they just upped his stats a little and made it so you couldn't kite adds it would of been perfect.

If they got rid of procs and just designed fights so they were unzergable I would enjoy this game soooo much more. Of course you would end up with the problem of job stacking..which idk how to get around

[Miroku_Asura]

My favorite fight was (still is actually) DI back at 75. Aside from the fact you needed throwing skill to claim it, its mechanics that made it difficult to the extent that if you didn't have a brain, you would end up dead pretty quickly. but challenging enough to not be super duper easy. Odin and Nid are close seconds, but those are mostly for sentimental reasons :3

I've claimed him several times with zero throwing skill. No misses to date.

Vrtra was always a challenging fight. At 75 we killed it the 'old-fashioned' way (non-zerg) with ~24 people and it was certainly difficult but a lot of fun and satisfying if you won.

i wouldn't mind all the hate reset or death moves, if the person who triggers a !! on a mob (abyssea, vwnm, etc.) has their hate reset back to zero as well. save the blms

Until your tank procs with Provoke or something, and it goes after the BLMs. Seems like it would fuck you over almost as often as it would help you.

Now Vrtra is challenging because SE hasn't fixed his bugged pathing in years! >_>

[zaps]

it's not a bug, its a "feature"

[Kalasin]

Best thing is they haven't fixed the add bug which makes it soloable by BST(at 90), as long as you kill it within 2 hours.

[Koyangi]

Do tell, how does this work?

[Kalasin]

Would advise to use a 2 hour'd Dipper, since you do want the evasion on Vrtra. Put it on Vrtra, let it fight, use Reward as needed. As long as you don't perform an offensive action (including Ready), the adds will spawn, but only idle at Vrtra and not attack. Requires your BST to be geared, both with Haste and DT-. If your pet dies, adds will start attacking. If your pet depops at the 2 hour mark, adds will start attacking. So it's a rather boring fight.

Camate here to bump this thread and bring you a message from Producer Tanaka http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/im...lies/smile.png

Along with the other high-res tweaks we’ve been making, we are currently looking into changing out the macro palettes to look like the below:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/at...665877&thumb=1

With this style you will be able to write longer titles.

Howdy http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/im...lies/smile.png I will be sure to pass on your feedback to make it easier for you all to test content.

In the meantime I wanted to pass along some other related information.

In addition to the current features we have setup in your Mog House for setting and equipment, we are working towards adding commands for the below items:

• Setting your level
• Setting your skill values
• Warping to areas
• Changing movement speed
• Becoming invincible

However, the testing volume for these commands is quite large and since it will take more time than your average update, it will be a bit before we implement them. Apologies for any inconveniences the lack of these commands may be causing, but just hang in there a bit longer.

We will also be adding Retrace scrolls and reraise items to the list of items you can obtain.

Now we can make better names than "3Blga" for macros.

[Greatguardian]

Interesting. With an Invincibility option, we may finally see people figuring out how we're "supposed" to kill AV. That's assuming people still care, of course.

[Kaisha]

They need to go out and just allow us to scale the HUD. I play FFXI at around half my monitor's native resolution just so I can read shit.

However, the testing volume for these commands is quite large and since it will take more time than your average update, it will be a bit before we implement them.

You heard it here folks, test server-specific stuff is slowing down the production of FFXI content, as if it wasn't slow enough as is.

[Spira]

Kinda like all the HDfying changes..

And the whole invincibility god mode will be very fun for test server..

But anyway the secret to AV isn't a secret, it's just so retarded that people don't bother when zerging is more effective and wastes less time

[boo]

At level of 95 with more buffed equipment, couldn't players kill AV somehow without zerging though?

could, but why. if you can do an oldschool zerg and be done in 45-60 secs, why do it the "way SE intended", which involves having people on the ball to try to lock 2hrs, while the blms use the native MS Magnification Tool to zoom in on the time of day whenever they nuked

[Draylo]

Don't forget melee rdm's in earth staves.

[Forte]

You know what? If they gave us invincibility I'd actually go back to the test server, if only to explore the shit I could never look at casually due to aggro. Maybe poke some HNMs.

With Aegis 95 and Scherzo/Ward, AV isn't a threat at all (at 90) and is laughable at 95. But there really isn't any motivation to fight it in a non zerg unless you're doing several back to back.
