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

[threevo]

I mainly meant areas such as:
Seamless custom Launcher
Moving OutPost NPCs
Nanaa's Charm quest(TH necklace)
Choco Digging skill-up messages
Newly created mobs & camps (I dont necessarily agree with all placements or mob abilities, but the idea itself is great)
Twinkling treats needing to be downed to unlock outposts
1 account (single box) and 3 characters per IP address
I like their level sync with penalty rules. I know many do not
71 hour dyna lockout
Starting rings being linked to mission completion so you can easily attain any
EQ scaling OFF
Custom hairstyles/colors

Whats broken:
Crafting HQ and skillup rates are way too high
Fishing is completely broken and uses a faulty build. The one from Wings was near perfect. Fish botting is rampant
EXP rates are too high, esp on EP mob.
Mobs overall are too easy.. even beyond adding in extra JA's, spells and traits
Many mobs are broken in general. Forgetting how to use abilities or just incorrectly coded ie Weapons not linking in Ro
TH doesnt seem to work at all.. They say it does and post proof.. but using logic and chance on certain drops. its shown repeatedly to not take place
Smn damage is completely off and the dev who coded it insists its retail accurate.. when SMN has never put up the numbers it has
BST getting an EM pet, despite the fact that AF2 already raises the minimum level of a called pet.. so now that piece of EQ is useless.
Pretty much all of their job changes dont make sense or werent implemented well

So yeah basically leave would leave out any codes changes related to jobs, mobs, damage etc

Crafting skillup seems to be just fine. I have 6 crafts and 60 and one at 84. The skillup rates decline above 50 as expected.

Don't let Greg read your comment on forced pops being more reasonable and fair.

Actually he'd agree it's more fair, then spend character limit detailing why making it fair is bad

EXP rates on EP and DC mobs are increased purposefully as we are using the Wings of the Goddess EXP tables per our server info page on the website.

I hope Kip dips in here because I see a serious fucking problem with Enlight that NO ONE seems to be talking about. From my understanding, they removed TH off Thief's Knife because of how vital it is to THF's kit and replaced it with an item that is easier to obtain and just requires a bit of work. Then they go and add Enlight to PLD and buff it to high hell effectively making it REQUIRED for PLD's kit. The problem is... the drop from the BCNM40 (The Worm's Turn) it comes from is absolute dogshit (lower than PCA it seems) and the rest of the BC doesn't drop ANYTHING of value. The ball dropped here is fucking massive and infuriating. So answer me this Balance Manager (if ur here), the fuck was your team thinking with this one? And I swear to god if I get some "Play and find out" bullshit....

Rant over

Still having fun and enjoying myself... for the most part.

how is it REQUIRED? We have plds meriting, tanking gods and hnms and everything available to us at the moment without enlight lol am confused

Its a 700k - 1mil (1 mil currently) expense at level 40... I get job expense, but PLD already needs to keep up with their gear for the DEF. It's a dumb move and I stand by that without question. Refresh isn't treated the same way.

I did AA. Got a Light Ore. Sold it for 550k. Swindled Enlight from someone for 600k. Could've done more AA, had plenty of seals, but thankfully rng was on my side for once.

Just..farm for it? It has value like a PCC at fraction the price. It's a worthy expense.

Both systems are fair. This one is more accessible.

Accessibility is bad. This is precisely why I said I would never invest in a private server. The game SHOULD limit out people such that the ones willing to sacrifice and bleed are rewarded.

To be fair Gred has been nothing if not a consistently almost sociopathic elitist when it comes to FFXI :D

All we can do is appreciate a man somehow being on both ends of the horseshoe depending on if hes IRL or Online.

[NynJa]

Thats cause its not a horseshoe
Its a circle

Gred irl = 0 degrees
Gred online = 359.999999 degrees

Please never change. This was, and forever should be, the ideology that XI was based on.

You just don't understand how difficult it is to sit AFK in a zone with 80 other people and hope your Expensive bot was better than theirs.

Fucking LOL, my sig would be too crowded imo, or I'd add this to it.

Never used a bot and claimed just as much as anyone else in my shell.

And it is pretty hard when you barely pass a class with a C- because you skipped the final to camp.
