HorizonXI – Era+ 75 Cap FFXI Server Launching December 17th, 2022

[Botosi]

Do I really need to ask if you think I would do this, let alone actually care enough to be involved in that capacity?

It was a joke, but then I remembered you made an entire post about people botting in retail in 2023, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[Zealot]

I mean I was fine until some dude told me he thought I smelled fat. That was actually creative enough to hurt my feelings

Ha ha ha, I'm gonna save that one.

yeah Botosi, you fucking moron, he didnt make the thread in 2023.

He made it on December 31st 2022 at 8:43pm. Which is inarguably worse.

It was 2023 here, so it counts.

The more and the longer you keep focusing on dragging that from thread to thread. The whole silliness about how others spend their time being inferior to your own. It makes you sound like a total fucking loser.

Quick, say how everyone on your FFXI Discord is laughing at me.

Spicyryan: “no ones talking about you on Discord”

Also Spicyryan: “youre all over all the XI Discords”

Yes, no one would look at the front page of AH.com or talk about even this particular moment on XI Discords, lol.

You dumb fuck

I wanna tell you 2 to take it back to poopdeck, but maybe this was the Era shit I was missing

Hes def that scrub LS who shows up at every camp and can never claim anything, and the one time they actually get a Faf claim, they wipe at 90%.

Guys I'm loving Horizon so far. Playing with my little brother who never experience XI past level 33, he's leveling fishing and cooking, making gil, self sufficient and having fun. He chose SMN as his main and its awesome seeing him enjoy it so much. I have no regretted my choice to join Horizon and play it and I'm thankful for the Devs for bringing to me and letting me share my favorite childhood game with my brother who never got a chance too. You guys are awesome and you don't deserve all the shit some people give you.

But good lord I'm going to really complain for a second here out of love and hope for this project, just absolutely blow off some steam for a second just because but don't wanna spew it on the discord lol and end up getting banned for venting a little /too/ hard. Just learned today they nerfed the shit out of Suppanomimi. Changed it to AGI+2, Eva/Dagger/Katana+5, removed Dual Wield entirely on it and it kinda just became the straw that broke the camels back. Massacred it man, who asked for this change? Who wanted the Iconic Suppa earing just fucking gone? It just makes no sense. Like even with the logic of "Well suppa was the clear choice and we wanted the other earrings to be an option", okay, try un-shitting the other options instead of objectively buttfucking the only good one into a garbage-tier macro piece that barely replaces existing Eva+ earrings.

Like I'm sitting here looking at what I have to look forward too at Endgame on THF. No DPS changes so I'm still a TH Bot in the off-party, no Collab/Accomplice so I cant effectively control enmity, Utsu Recast increased by 15% so my solo/duo capabilities are nerfed. No native Dual wield so im still glued to /NIN, full nerfs included. Objectively, my job is worse. My entire worth to the party is still purely reliant on a Passive trait that I have no control or impact over, a skilless TH bot that can literally be filled by an AFK person. For some jobs they got a lot of love and for others it feels like all we got to look forward too is Era-.

I signed up for this server honestly hoping I was dealing with people who were around in Era-Accurate XI and knew and loved the game and wanted to improve on the errors and shortcomings of the Era experience, and a lot of the changes and balance adjustments just feel a little... vindictive ya know? "My WHM never got invited to merit parties cause RDM was too good so RIP RDM lol" or "I got mocked for having Bushin Earring and not Suppa so WHOS LAUGHING NOW?". Like I'm not accusing anyone of anything its just hard to shake the feeling lol.

Not to mention that are some clear oversights in certain nerfs. Utsu Ichi being 45 second recast has made BCNM30/40's/60's so much more needlessly difficult for any melee job that isn't BST, so either you intentionally screwed every melee job or just didn't consider the balance implications of giving every class a permanent 50% Slow on recast timer for Ichi. Like, the worst part is that /NIN is still the clear winner for any defensive needs, and the only good subjob for 1-handed jobs DPS in 99% of situation, all you've done is just made the jobs shittier to play for everyone involved. One of the Devs on the live stream today went into some detail on their goal of making /NIN less necessary and never once brought up Dual wield or its irreplaceable value, which, granted, may just not have been on his mind at the time.

Like you guys are human, you're doing it on your free time, you get nothing out of it but the satisfaction of your efforts. Its a passion project, you're not a professional dev team, I understand. But it feels like there are blind spots, which i get, no chance you all have every job at 75 and had a full nuanced understand of each strength, weaknesses, and a respect for their endgame experience. I just wish there was a way I, or anyone could help, that wasn't flushing ideas into the dumpster that is "Suggestion" tab.

Anyway, once again, love you guys, great job, keep it up and I look forward to March's patch

I am not sure if you missed it but they moved the enhanced DW to Stealth Earring (which was just Ninjutsu +5 previously), Suppa/Stealth is probably BIS for THF TP now since I think Brutal Earring DA procs will block triple attack iirc? The change only really hurts BLU and maybe Ridill users (fuck em though), the 5 dagger skill they added is great for THF still. I think it's a pretty good change overall but as a BLU simp I am definitely gonna miss having Sword+5 and DW on one piece when ToAU drops. I'm playing DRK right now though and it's nice to not feel pressured in to picking Suppa regardless so I can safely grab Abyssal (which has GS+5 now too!).

[gaira]

isn't half the reason people play private servers to relive old memories and accomplishments? i hate to see what happens to dring, ridill, adaberk, dalmatica any number of iconic drops

[chazzyphizzle]

they arent touching those items lol. they also buffed sattva ring to give -5% damage taken which is nice
