im sorry, did someone in here just say sandworm/ixion were fun content? you clearly never had to post up in a zone

[Fondue]

i had a program that would play a shotgun noise when the dead bodies moved and I would just play more fun games while I was sitting there

[thetruepandagod]

ixion/sw were exhausting to lock down when their windows overlapped and far worse than any world spawn previously. i get what they were trying to do with the ash and entire map locations but it just became a matter of botting and burning other ls's out before urs did. god help you when campaigns or whatever they were called kept making it despawn when you got windows open for 3kings and everything else

i had a program that would play a shotgun noise

didn't we all

i remember after the server merge TDG tried to go hard at first but after maybe 3 weeks their members started sending me /tells when it popped in their zone cuz they flat out didn't want to deal with it anymore

[Spicyryan]

lol looking back at the screenshot I found, I was pretty much a brat so the kick was warranted. That was before WOTG though

Don't worry, BG posters still are brats on average.

Yeah, that wasn't fun. The people that just showed up without doing that work sure might have enjoyed the content though.

Ixion/SW when campaign starts

It’s me, the person who never camped them but would fight them when they spawned and indeed I had a god damn great time



I did flag them down a few times to be fair cause I did campaign battle a lot leveling other jobs in the pre Abyssea era

[Spicyryan]

Campaign battles were a good time. Wish they would have made some sort of similar system for it in Adoulin rather than self-contained WKRs.

[Nyanoko]

find me the timeline where ffxiv is just a reskinned xi endgame but keep the quest xp. i want to see the most monstrous disparity between skill/unskilled players manifest

I'd snap play this game Yoshi plz

There is a 100% chance this private server is either run by Gred or entirely funded by Gred with that opener.

There's a 100% chance what's his face will complain about it taking away from paid XI.

It looks more like a joke, but I left my comment for you lol. Surely they will just delete it. It really is some kind of weird psychological reason these people are so fond of an era that was literal garbage in comparison to today and what is possible.

It's cuz ppl complained about botting, so they reduced the impact of botting. You could still automate the widescanning, but Ixion and SW's mechanics made it impossible to monopolize with AFK'ers. You actually had to have a gather race, which was an okay mechanism to test the will of the linkshell.

The OG King spawn mechanics were better, but at least they were still HNMs.

You live in opposite world. It was everything besides Kings that was garbage.
