limbus was the only end game content that was actually well designed. i dunno how peeps go back and play that shit

The concept of Einherjar was good, but requiring all 9 feathers to access Odin was gay.

“Oh you missed a run? Lol too bad you gotta wait for the next cycle to fight Odin”. Atleast they somewhat fixed it with the leader needing 9/9 and everyone else just needing one per tier, but it was still gay. It took a lot of micromanagement with feather alts.

New tier list inc?

Limbus was fun.
Sea itself was ass
Sky was ass
Kings was only fun for Gred
Dienamis was tedious and too fucking long. Was fun with buds for the first 1/4 of it.
Never did Ein
ZNMs were only worthwhile for half the people required to do them
Salvage I never did because I only played sporadically at that point

[Xno Kappa]

this was me and then theres day, xno, nez, odon, + whoever else all playing dps

Hey I played a gimped ass rdm too sometimes!

[KuroTsuki]

What? I was WHM most the time. I WANTED to come DPS lol.

[KuroTsuki]

I think I'm over it. I'm glad we did aeonics and I finished Masa before cancelling my sub but I don't feel pulled to it anymore

But yeah, I'm the same way. It was fun to do all that new stuff with you guys. Kind of felt like it did in the old FFXI days. But I think what Max dood said in his recent FFXI video is true for me. I'm just a different person now and I'm unable to get addicted to a game like that anymore.

[Zealot]

I was 100% with Max's experience except that the times outside forces made me unable to play it always felt like the addiction was instantly broken. Eventually I'd come back though and within a few weeks it would resurface.

einherjar was the best event

[Fondue]

abyssea best content basically

followed by delve

[Andalusian girls]

i liked when you fought Sephiroth's mom but it wasn't really her

[NynJa]

I dont expect the general fags to be useful:

Which plugin/addon will autocomplete names? I used to have it, I think it was tied to gearswap, but I cant remember.
ie: //cure nyn will do cure nynja

[KuroTsuki]

Shit, haven't looked at that stuff in a while, but I think Shortcuts

[KuroTsuki]

Just looked it up. Yeah, it's shortcuts. You can edit the Aliases file and change stuff like /pa automatically does Paralyna, and nyn = Nynja.

[KuroTsuki]

It's awesome with Send if you're dual boxing

[NynJa]

Thank you! I went up and down the two lists like 3x over, but i didnt consider that one.

Limbus: somehow more boring than kings and less rewarding, but at least it was short and easy to organize
Sea: fun if not just for the fact you could get 2 blm friends and trio anything u wanted if not outright solo it, also i was an AV fanatacist
Sky: classic ffxi through and through and tolerable, the worst aspects of sky came from having so much of it's content rendered useless so 90% of what you are farming hits the ground while everyone is going after haidate/w legs. Also frustrating once rmt finally made it to sky
Kings: kinda shit but also kinda great, ffxi in a nutshell. Also the #1 place for ls drama to take place which is what ffxi truly was about
wryms: fuckin great, spike flails and fire xtals.
Dynamis: worst event on earth if you were with a shit group, fun 'grabbing money in a wind tube to a time limit' event if you were with a good group that full cleared
ein: huge improvement over previous tiered events like limbus, headache with the feathers until they changed it
znm: ehhhhhhhh
salvage: good

enms/bahav2/ouryu were fairly good events i thought regardless of endgame elitist or casual shitter

[Mertron]

look ill make it easy

limbus: 30 min minimum, some zones could be longer up to about an hour
sea farm: minimum 3 hours if you are actually doing stuff
sky farm: minimum 3 hours if you are actually doing stuff
kings: could take up to 3 hours, but if it runs longer than that it’s usually because of hilarity
wyrms: fight itself was shortish (30m-1hr) but the most useful one involved staring at a rock for 2 days
dynamis: 3 hours max iirc until CoP which was an hour I think? Or 2?
znm: multiple fights spread over multiple zones, depending on setup could be hours
salvage: iirc 1hr but i wasn’t allowed to play
einherjar: 30 MINUTES MAX AND ITS OVER AND YOU ARE CONSTANTLY BUSY, BEST EVENT IS SHORT EVENT

[Mertron]

plus the odin fight music was the best music to come out of the game
