Good stuff.

[Necronus]

Within cities doesn't really help me. If all 4 cities had a shared "yell" channel it would be better. Would be closer to EVE and CoH where they have user creatable global channels for different purposes. And FFXI could use them, would be much easier to find people for rarely done events/missions/etc if everyone who might be remotely interested could turn on that channel. Then again, we'd probably need chat tabs too, and thats asking way too much of FFXI.

[Gwynplaine]

Yeah I agree. But it sounds like as usual FFXI has its own unique technical handicaps to overcome to even implement something so basic. So it sounds like this is a good experimental first step if nothing else.

So I can't hide in other zones to avoid the shout spam now? Bleh. I really really don't see the point of yelling within a city, when everyone just sits in one zone anyway.

There'll likely be a filter for it.

I can't wait for more /livejournal spam in Jeuno now. What I'm curious about is if it'll work from the MH.

My guess is that FFXI's server infrastructure sucks, and they're unwilling to invest in a dedicated server per world to handle that kind of load, or somehow use the servers that are left to working on making mobs move around empty zones.

What do you think is a part of the reason they sit in one zone?

[jimbobsonofgod]

Say,Shout, Yell, what's next Yodel then Scream ?

[Forte]

Why.

[fantasticdan]

As long as it's limited to one city, and the jeuno abyssea NPCs are only in port, I don't see how this will change anything.

EDIT: I missed that they added a set in ru'lude, so I guess that's an option now.

[Hirronimus]

World-wide shout? You blacklist doesn't hold that much space to add all the morons arguing in tells.

[Julian]

Because Port has the abyssea npcs right next to the AH, and for some reason, is the only zone in Jeuno that has the synergy furnaces.

Ru'lude is annoying because it requires a cutscene to enter mog house, and the abyssea npcs aren't right next to the AH.

Exactly this.

I've been reluctant to change my HP to windy because in PJ I'm right next to the AH, Abyssea NPC's, Synergy Furnaces and the Conquest NPC (for Warp scrolls). When I'm in Windy it annoys me that I have to zone to go to the AH or grab Signet/Warp Scroll and even then it's a longer run after zone than it is in PJ.

I'd considered changing back to Bastok but even that doesn't have everything in one zone. Abyssea NPC's in mines would make me change probably.

Voidwatch has the potential to change this though since Jeuno is lacking Voidwatch NPC's. But atm I only do it like once a week so it isn't worth it.

Pretty sure Myrrh just came from the thought of all the peeps he can troll at one time now.

[Indalecia]

"Yodel ay heeeeeeeeeee.......Bukhis (Do you need it?) 5/6"

[Hioki]

Say,Shout, Yell, what's next Yodel then Scream ?

Only if it's a Wilhelm scream.

[TacoTaru]

Funny you say that, I think the Indian model hume does that when he dies.

[Toth]

Boy, with each passing day, this new patch is looking less spectacular ; ; Why is it taking so much time when the changes mentioned so far do not seem to match the long period of time since the last patch?

[Lyramion]

I really really like this, being an old shout whore

[Dooom]

Only if it's a Wilhelm scream.

Learn something new every day. That was awesome!
