I've been reading the official forums and it hurts. It hurts so bad.

If a player outside of your party/alliance takes action on you, you will not receive experience points.

afk ruining xp parties because people don't know about blockaid

I'm constantly amazed that people think leeching in abyssea is such a bad thing.

It amazes me how people complain about afk people at the Dom. Sergent, they make it seem like you need 18 active people beating on Dolls/Bluffalo/Bugards etc to get any exp. All you need is 1 good geared/atmaed BLM, a puller or 2 and 2 good DD, and I guess 1 healer is good.

No, these people actually need around 18 active players to fight in order to kill stuff at a decent speed.

Assuming everyone's doing pages, you don't need more than what I suggested, because you can pull 5 at a time, aja them all down, then turn in page, then repeat. The puller can flag his page before everyone else once mobs get to camp and get slept or nuked, so while the rest flag their new page, the puller's already gathering new 5 mobs.

You're assuming these players are competent and properly geared and skilled. Look at the death rates caused by Sand Sweepers. These are not ultra-hard monsters killing teams of seasoned adventurers. They are standard exp mobs killing bad players because they cannot kill the dolls quickly or cast stun.

[Koyangi]

Oh, I completely agree. The gimps think they need 18 active players because everyone is gimp. My examples were just proof that you can leech 12 people and kill with 6 just as efficiently and with 0 deaths.

What I love the most about that post is that he is taking himself so seriously that he tried to make it sound like a real update.

Don't you know that leveling up too quickly means that you don't know how to play a job! In order to play a job correctly, you need to go and do an old-school 3k per hour XP party like we did back when the game first came out. Because fighting thousands upon thousands of trash mobs will tell you everything that you need to know about your job! I mean, it's not like people could go to forums, ask people in their linkshell, or even pay the slightest bit of attention to what other people are doing to find out how a job. For example; I leveled THF, and since I didn't spend 6 months leveling the job in old-school 3k per hour XP parties I don't understand that you Sneak Attack from behind the mob, Trick Attack the person you want to get hate, use both of those abilities as much as possible to try to raise the Treasure Hunter effect, and use Collaborator on the mages or other people who are gaining too much hate! How could I possibly know any of that since I entered Abyssea with that job before level 75?

Posts like that Official Forum post make me want to punch the internet. And the problem is that idiots like that are so loud that S-E will eventually listen to them. >_>

Hey all! Got a bit of information from the development team about the new avatars that are incoming in a future version update.

While we don't have too many specifics to share because things are still in the planning stages, the current plan is to make Cait Sith an avatar similar to the likes of Carbuncle, where you can go into battle with Cait Sith at your side. Atomos on the other hand would be similar to Odin and Alexander in that he is used solely for his 2 hour ability.

And now the big question, will Atomos's Two-Hour be worth using over Odin or Alexander?

[Gwynplaine]

Odin is shit and Atamos probably will be too. There will be some utterly inane nerf applied in order to "balance" it out that makes it worthless. The same way Odin can't even kill 2 level 10 crabs.

[Alkar]

I haven't used Alexander or Odin in months so I can't say I'm interested in Atomos. Cait Sith on the other hand...

[TacoTaru]

brb leveling SMN so I can idle with Cait Sith out

[Rocl]

i hope i can idle with cait sith man, we're gonna have so much fun

[Not Kuno]

I need to level PLD and get the full af armor.
Then I need to sub smn, and stand in WoE with it standing next to me.

Awwwww yeah.

[Forte]

Kay, now I'm happy again.

THIS FIXES EVERYTHING WRONG WITH SUMMONER!

Spoiler: show

I don't see the appeal of having Cait out idlin'.

[Septimus]

Especially because all of the cool kids idle with LightSpirit.

I <3 my perp set.

[Forte]

I'm just excited about having a light elemental avatar that isn't Carbuncle. He hasn't aged well.

[Cesaria]

I get to be followed around by a slightly deranged black and white cat... just like being at home really.
