FFXI Nostalgia/Why did I ever stop playing!?/Let's all go back to 2009/Never forget Kujata Thread

Nah. There was never a real strategy confirmed for v1. This was wayyyyyyyyy before PW was a thing.

If this was different than how it was at release, who knows? It's what they eventually vomited out, years after the fact.

I think the empty loot pool said it all. AV was put in with zero drops which is as much of a confirmation as we ever got that SE was trolling us.

AV was one of the very few fights I never did

[NynJa]

nah. It's not as bad as Gred would have you believe but Abyssea is still pretty deeply flawed. The overall design is asinine. Here's a new area! But you can only stay here for two hours unless you do a bunch of shit to extend your stay. And if you run out of time you can't come back for an hour. Because fuck you.

That was burdensome at first, but after figuring things out, it was a non-issue.

Ebon Panels.

It was fun getting to zerg the bitch down though. I loved zergs in general. Wish I had taken the time to get a KC being a galka. Still wrecked shit using gimpy rid drk. Had over 2k hp on my set up.

Was never a fan of zergs, it's fun the first time or two but it quickly becomes uninteresting.

Like we zerged BahaV2 a bunch but I always missed the older days of doing it normally, it was so much more fun to actually deal with the mechanics and have the fight last longer than a minute.

[Mrf]

Real question is, did your account get banned after you sold it?

I was already playing the game less by that time, so I never ended up doing Salvage regularly. I was never a part of the duping groups so no ban.

Zergs fundamentally made everything easier by bypassing the intricacy of the actual fight. Everyone could zerg Baha II with BRDs, a RDM/DRK, and half-decent meeles eating food. Less than 10% of people who could zerg it could fight it straight up.

It's fundamentally why Voidwatch was not good content -- just stagger stun it and go ham with temp items.

[Salodin]

Man, why's it so hard to concede you benefited from botters and that community, including learning the strat to fight a mob they only ever claimed pre-Kings update, even if you didn't load the program yourself lol?

It's fundamentally why Kings was not good content -- just hang out in zone 24/7 with your bot friends and claim 20%+ of the spawns a year.

I didnt like void watch either. I thought the stagger mechanic was dumb as fuck.

[Corrderio]

I got to admit I really miss sky/sea/ZNM stuff. Really wish XIV would try to implement that but they seem to be too afraid of taking any kind of risk.

It was a method of job inclusion. What was one of the core problems plaguing content prior to VW? Half (if not more) of the jobs had zero purpose.

[Anoat]

Y'all motherfuckers gonna make me resub so I can go kill ground kings solo and laugh about it.

[Salodin]

Can I recommend the Nasomi server here for those of you who miss Kings of olde?

from what i understand, eureka and some new shit is trying, but failing, to replicate some of XI's success

Didnt SE flat out admit AV was originally meant to just be a trap that spawned after killing love just to troll you.

If it wasn't than they accidentally designed it in such a way to be a troll because the first time it was slain it dropped absolutely nothing. Like, I don't think it even dropped a crystal?

[mallister]

Crystal only drops. Good times, good times.

[Niiro]

That's why you always remember Signet, folks.
