[Taint]

What Taint is trying to say is that his strategy works 100% of the time half of the time.

lol

[Detzu]

You are full of shit ; you can't stun at will because schock squall has a charging time and all of his spells are instant, and also because you never know when it will wear off (no wear off message and random duration), so it's going to breakga/silencega/aga 3 or 4 you before you can even say oshit. Secondly, when it split it uses oblivion smash x2 (or even worse : violent rupture) which is unstunnable because the initial adl depops then 2 copies pops and use the move instantly so yeah come back when you actually know your shit (also a double oblivion smash is going to wipe you instanly ).

You can bring a SCH or bring a RDM and CSS too. As far as i know it ADL doesn't resist stun.

Last time I looked none of that legion point gear was worth wasting points on anyway, what did I miss?

[Septimus]

Last time I looked none of that legion point gear was worth wasting points on anyway, what did I miss?

Some people just despise their inventory I guess.

[Byrthnoth]

I have two of the legion latent items for war. Mustela gloves are also supposed to be good for some jobs. None of the other pieces appealed to me. I was going to test some set bonuses, but I am too lazy to reinstall the test server.

[pchan]

Mustela gloves are good ws pieces for monk for both shijin and VS.

About halfway done with the Producer Matsui Suggestion Thread Summary thing I'm doing. And by "halfway" I mean I've done about half the pages for the thread - most are repeats at the moment so I'm flying through most pages. Afterwords I'll need to split the General Suggestions section into categories then format it for BG (such as spoiler tagging categories so it doesn't spam the page with giant multipage wall of text).

The question is, should I post it here or does this thing merit a new thread (like that one thread of old complaints that was compiling when SE would fix them)?

Also, people will want to go over it and separate what they thing are good ideas and bad ideas I'm sure. I'm not discriminating between the two myself, nor adding likes (too difficult) although I think based on most ideas it will be very easy to know what got likes and what didn't based on how stupid or brilliant an idea is.

I've done my best so far to not double post redundant suggestions that are the same, although I think there are currently three or four separate suggestions on how to prevent people from going into Abyssea at different levels. I hope all the bad ideas are a good laugh for people, because with the amount of them I've read I don't know that it is funny anymore.

Edit 1: Does anyone know what this is about? Google Translate roughly makes it sound like the JP forum mods are telling the JP to stop being mean to each other.

Edit 2: Found another quote of something already in the game:

I want WHMs to have Bar-element spells that last longer as you level.

If this was the stupidest thing this guy said, I would be very, very happy. Sadly, the rest goes in the list.

[Yugl]

Post here imo.

[pchan]

nor adding likes (too difficult) although I think based on most ideas it will be very easy to know what got likes and what didn't based on how stupid or brilliant an idea is.

Even though they explicitely said 2 to 3 times that they would focus on it ?

Thanks from proving you never did it. When it splits it does its aoe silence damage para that will kill you and shock squall won't change it.

It's 50% absolutely failproof.

[Byrthnoth]

New message from SE:

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxi/th...024#post358024

Harharhar playerbase. Nice try asking us to add Instant Repatriation scrolls to Conquest Point NPCs (to warp you back to your home nation, as opposed to your home point). If we let you do that, we know you guys would just set your HP in Jeuno! You can't have that, because we don't want Jeuno congestion to get worse than it is and obviously this adjustment would tip the scales.*

*Re-phrased for the sake of clarity

[Yukari]

LOL, Byrth. I thought he actually said that. Though you forgot to say the words balance somewhere in there.

[Chocobunnies]

Who would "thumbs up" dev posts like that? Should be like ffxiah where you can tell who +1'd or w/e.

[Slycer]

Edit 1: Does anyone know what this is about? Google Translate roughly makes it sound like the JP forum mods are telling the JP to stop being mean to each other.

Google translate is fine, it just says stop posting offensive stuff, start posting constructive stuff, and nothing that's written in an offensive manner is going to be communicated with the dev team. They also said they may suspend FFXI accounts if it keeps happening.

[Priran]

nothing that's written in an offensive manner is going to be communicated with the dev team.

(or english)

[Mahoro]

Last time I looked none of that legion point gear was worth wasting points on anyway, what did I miss?

Veneficium Ring is fantastic to add to a Quick Magic build with Impatiens/Witful. Build procs fairly often for me on WHM and SMN. Instant cast avatars are the best avatars!

[Economizer]

It is here! The Summary. It contains great good and great evil, for it contains all, or all of it to the best of my ability. Considering my brain shutting down near the end from the repeating walls of text, I think I did pretty well.

Submissions aren't really listed in any order. They were listed in order of submission mostly, but then I categorized some stuff, missed some stuff, and now some of it is jumbled. Also, this isn't really categorized as well as it should be in a few places. My apologies where ever this thing fall short.

If anyone wants to waste some time, feel free to discuss or analyze this or laugh at the bad suggestions, or whatever.

The problem I see with some of those is detail. For example, Magian Staves should indicate merges along I, II, III, and IV. Otherwise, they'll delay the release with questions regarding implementation (As they did with Chatoyant).

[Priran]

some of those are so... what

like removing brew from Walks? Why? I've literally gotten one in at least 50-60 runs. And adding two nations to WotG? It's a little late to the party and besides, with how fast WotG content got released we'd all have ascended to energy-based lifeforms by the time it was implemented.

God this game is just... god damn. All talk.
