Rulude would be fine if they took away the CS to zone into MH.

Synergy furnace being moved from Port to Upper (Having them in the most congested zone is stupid anyway) would be a bonus too but not a huge deal. AH distance isn't an issue at all because it's not even much further than PJ.

Main problem I'd see with the slight optimisation of Rulude is that people would flock there instead and on Asura at least we already have Rulademart there. Although then at least there would be 2 zones to split between or maybe an emptier PJ.


Honestly though, I wouldn't even mind having my HP out in one of the far-flung towns if they weren't missing Abyssea NPC's / Synergy. Places like Kazham, Rabao, etc probably wouldn't be bad if they added an Abyssea NPC, possibly furnaces + maybe an NPC who could send you to your Home Nation for 300 gil.

Or we could all go back to Aht Urghan again I miss it.

White Gate was worse than Port will ever be.

[Darkmagi]

Whitegate still lags me a little with the 0-5 people the zone gets nowadays. Pretty sure it's in a state of perpetual lag from being raped so hard during it's prime.

Agreed, last time I was in whitegate 14 people were in the zone and I still fucking lagged.

[Kuishen]

Learn something new every day. That was awesome!

I had always wondered what they called that scream.

Now what's the name of the scream that's used in various movies that's the sound you hear when you click on an Academy in Starcraft 1? Was also the scream used in Princess Bride when Wesley is hooked up to the death machine inside the tree.

EDIT: Found it! It's the Howie Scream.

I never lagged in WG , time for some new PC's

[Alvein]

If they fix the requirements for Mythic weapons Whitegate lag will be even worse because people will theoretically flocking to the runic portals to do Einherjar and assaults.
One of the actual issues that is pretty significant is that PJ is the best place to get teleports. Teleports are still generally the fastest way to get around for five zones because they put you right next to the chocobo.

The way the teleport system is set up you pretty much have to have your homepoint set in a place where you can warp and get the tele you need, or if you're doing them, you have to have your homepoint set there to sell teleports for gil. That is an issue that no global shout will have a fix for.

Stop being lazy and run the extra 1minute from an OP or Abyss entrance to a choco (for dem/highlands/canyon) and xarc

It's not comp lag. It's really easy to notice how laggy the zone is when you have an alt on auto-follow.
...that and a fucking beast of a PC.

[Khamsin]

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.

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

Sounds like the answer, to me.

Shout for within a zone.

Yell for within a city (or entire region, e.g. Aragoneu or Zulkheim, if they allow it to be used outside)

Yodel for all the cities at once.

Scream to broadcast to the entire server at once. Someone can /scream for help with mission 2-3 from Ghelsba, and you'll hear it all the way in Al'Taieu or Abyssea.

Though, something tells me only gilsellers will use that last channel.

This; and it's not that my PC or connection is crap, either. The only other place that gives me comparable problems is JP-prime Port Jeuno with it's 700 people.

[Shenrien]

There is a bunch of NPCs that are only visible when flagged under a quest, but the game still loads them and that's why you "lag", you can see them all with all seeing eye all cluster fucked in one area where you would normally walk and that's why you see others and yourself stop in certain areas like the palace enterance in Ru'Lude, exit from Upper Jeuno leading out to where the church is, and the fountain area in Aht Urghan.

Geez, not one update on this next patch since 6/15/11. Wonder what happened....

At least the board has given us some nice tidbits but I wonder now if these items are coming in the next big patch instead of the July one now...

[Khiinroye]

I did not know this.

Skillup foods

In before the markets flood with them.

[Byrthnoth]

Wowsers. I almost wish I wasn't all blue already. xD

[arus2001]

The rarity of Scream Fungi are pretty much gonna keep me from trying these anytime soon. Mainly wondering how the synth yields.

[Kaisha]

Does the alt on follow have your main targeted? Helps force the game to update the target's positioning/status more often.

I only feel that WG is laggy because of some settings SE did to the server running the zone due to how congested it used to get to alleviate server stress, and then never bothered setting them back now that it's a ghost town.

[macross]

Which skillup food is better though, saltena or elshena??!
