FFXI Classic Thread

see, you want to keep a decent exp buffer above 75 lest you delevel and lose Byakko's Haidate

ok boomer

When Draylo and the rest of these kids camp Aery for a year, maybe then I'll recognize them as players!

draylo is a bad example of anything

[D44kpunk]

modern day ffxi, old ffxi, i think anyone in both eras can agree that draylo is a bad example.

karniel(ladyofhonor) is also universally hated in both eras as well

My server used to have an entire linkshell of people named Og_____ all with different names. They were an Xbox live clan that all started playing together. All but one of them was an absolute terrible player. The one that was good played WHM at a time when nobody wanted to so everyone on the server eventually had no choice but to group with her. Sometimes I wonder what happened to those weirdos.

We had one guy that was 360 player in our LS and when the wings of the goddess shadowlord fights were a big deal we used him to get us in because for some reason console players didn’t have the lag PC players had when selecting a battlefield. Man the people in throne room were salty. I think we used him for that when Diablos was released as a summon too. Good times.

[Mertron]

remember when people on ps2 (me) used to crash in sea constantly

good times

So if you've used any 3PP, I've found that it loads up every NPC that could potentially be used in any cutscenes. Additionally, if you leave the BC without zoning, that initial lag is no longer there, because you've got everything loaded.

As far as why it doesnt affect consoles, idk?

I liked sea, but SE really did it no favors by having zero financial inventive. Jailer weapons were ok, short of needing those stupid stones, torques were good...but you couldnt even get kindred/beastmen seals in sea.

[D44kpunk]

I too started on ps2. Think it wasn't as available on PC or something. Switched to PC eventually

[Anoat]

I never had problems in sea on ps2 but the auction house in whitegate would lag me out a lot.

this never happened to me and i spent so much time in sea that i got every single one of those rare/ex capes and belts

Sea is still probably the dopest zone I’ve ever seen in an MMO.

[Mertron]

a lot of people in my linkshell used to mass dc at the same time in sea pretty often and it was always the ps2 people so i am calling all of you liars

[Mertron]

and no there was no funny business going on, the guy who used to pos hack to temperance spawns had already been banned before we had enough ls members to do full farm sessions

[Mertron]

rip to a real one

[Anoat]

I hated sea so much but I think it’s because every night farming sea meant we weren’t farming sky and god damn it I wanted wyvern legs

[Rhyis.]

maybe it's because i spent most of my time farming the organs alone or with one other rdm, and only saw other ls peeps when it was time to kill a jailer, that i never had this issue.
