Ideas/Changes you would love <3

[Valkerine]

I'm not sure if anyone posted this yet, but i would like to see more end content for the End-Game cummunity.

You can ask the Dev Team if they are planning to release a expansion for the end-game LS. Something similar to this If anyone ever played Everquest before, i loved the "Planes of Power".

[Russta]

If you want to talk about overpowered, there are tons of arguments on almost every job about that. But in exp, i can count on my left hand how many times I'm asked to be a damage dealer, and not a healer.

For me personally, this is the reason why I don't have that much of an issue with how overpowered Summoner is on HNM's. Leveling Summoner to 75 seems agonizing so by all means have your fun on Wyrms just please don't try and tell us that they aren't overpowered on them.

And DrObvious covered what I would've replied to you Tahngarthor.

[Lordender]

with af2 and merits our smn's will sometimes break 800- 1k p.claws on tiamat. I've seen a few 1030's before but its pretty rare but possible.

Square should make male Mithra as a selectable character type and add a new quest.

Quest Name: Know Yourself
Quest Nation: Windurst
Client: Client: Perih Vashai (Vashai's residence, Windurst Woods)
Summary: Now that the men are no longer under lockdown for breeding purposes only, all of the ones pretending to be female can ditch their disguises with the help of Perih Vashai.

Prerequisites: In order to flag this quest, you must have been a Mithra at least three weeks prior to the introduction of this quest.

Walkthrough:
For the purposes of this walkthrough, we will insert the name Salome in for where your name would show up.
1) Talk with Perih Vashai.
Perih Vashai: Why, hello there, Salome. I take it you heard the news?

Prompt: "No" "Maybe"

Both answers: All the men are free to do whatever they want now. No longer do they have to dress in drag. Say... does that happen to include you, Salome?

Prompt: "I admit it, it's all a sham!" "How dare you doubt my femininity!" "I need time to think of an answer."

"How dare you doubt my femininity.": Are you quite sure? I'll never bring the topic up again if you are. (Yes removes your flag to do this quest forever. No takes you back to the previous menu.)

"I need time to think of an answer.": I'll be waiting here for you <3.

"I admit it, it's all a sham!": There, there, Salome. Nobody is accusing you. I can help you. In order to remove your disguise, you have to do a chore for me. I need you to take this bucket of water to Jeuno. Are you up for it?

Prompt: "Yes" "No"

"No": Oh, really? (Yes repeats the question, No returns you to the last prompt)

"Yes": Lovely. Now you have to do it naked as a level 1. Sneak and invisible won't work on you. I'll take the liberty of setting your homepoint here and your residence in Jeuno. Your contact will meet you as you walk in. Are you ready?

Prompt: "But... but... okay..." "What?!?! You're out of your mind!"

"What?!?! You're out of your mind!": Probably should have read Allakhazam before clicking your answers, Salome. Now hop to it.

"But... but... okay...": That's the spirit. Here is the water. Take it. Now, off you go now.

Obtained key item: Perih's Water (Description: This water smells funny.)

2) Walk to Jeuno. If you try to board the airship, they will say "No shirt, no shoes, no dice." At this point, everything will aggro you even if it doesn't normally. As you can imagine, this will make the quest very hard. Dying out in the field automatically homepoints you. After you die five times, Perih will spray you with incense after calling you a wuss, which will set everything to normal. Upon zoning into Jeuno, you get the following cutscene.

??? (one of those creepy cloaked men): Welcome, Salome. I see you are doing Perih's errand for her. I'm sorry to tell you that this water is no good without the Selbina mix in. I'll set your homepoint here. Now go to Selbina and talk with Melyon.

3) Walk to Selbina. Death equals automatic homepoint. If you got through without the incense the first time, dying five times will have ??? put it on you after calling you a wuss. Talk with Melyon for the next cutscene.

Melyon: Braw work, lass... or is that lad? I can't tell. I'm sorry, but we don't make that stuff anymore. You will have to go to Mhaura for some. I'll set your homepoint here. Now, go talk with Nereus.

4) Walk to Mhaura. Trying to take the boat will have them say "No shirt, no shoes, no dice." If you made it this far without incense, dying five times will have Melyon put it on you while also calling you a wuss. Talk with Nereus for a cutscene.

Nereus: Why are you bothering me, you naked freakish cat person?
Nereus notices the water.
Nereus: Oh. You want mix in. We moved our warehouse to San d'Oria. You'll have to take it up with them. Portaure should know where the mix in is. I'll set your homepoint here.

5) Walk to San d'Oria. Once again, the "No shirt, no shoes, no dice." if you try to board the boat. Again, die five times if you managed this far without incense to get it. Talk with Portaure.

Portaure: Oh, thank you, God. My dreams have been answered.
Portaure notices something a little... off.
Portaure: Oh, why have you forsaken me?
Salome looks impatient.
Portaure: Oh, you need mix in. We never received that. You'll have to take it up with the person that sent you. Because we don't believe in conveniance, we'll have to set your homepoint here. Now hop to it.

6) Walk back to Mhaura. At this point, if you've made it without any incense at all, you'll never get it now. Talk with Nereus.

Nereus: What? It's not there? Oh, wait, it's in Bastok. Talib should know about it. Now hop to it, you naked vixen.

7) Walk to Bastok. Talk with Talib.

Talib: Why, yes, we do have it. But I need you to do a favor for me. Go to the Shadow Lord's lair and tell him he still owes us fifty gil.
Salome faints.
Talib: Oh, you wuss. Here's the bloody mix in. I'll set your homepoint here. Now go to Jeuno again.
Obtained key item: Mix in (Description: This stuff smells funny.)

8) Walk to Jeuno. Zone in at Port will give you a cutscene.

???: Welcome back, Salome. I see you got the water fixed up. But the Shadow Lord still owes Tenshodo fifty gil.
Salome faints.
???: You wuss. I'll drop some of this stuff in here. Take it back to Perih and tell her she still owes me dinner.

9) Walk back to Windurst. Talk with Perih for a cutscene.

Perih: Welcome back, Salome. It looks like you've taken a world tour in your skivvies. Frankly, I'm impressed. This must have been utterly humiliating for you.
Perih mixes the water.
Perih: Okay, I need you to look over there.

Prompt: "Okay, I guess I can't be humiliated much more" "No! Enough of this dumb crap."

"No! Enough of this dumb crap.": Aww, but we were becoming best of friends.
Sattal-Mansal pokes Salome. (You turn around to talk with him)
Sattal-Mansal: Hey, you agreed to strongarm the fifty gil out of Shadow Lord. You can't back out now.
Perih: Thanks for the distraction <3.
(Fade to black) Splash (You now enter the character creation screen to recreate your character as male Mithra only and rename)

"Okay, I guess I can't be humiliated much more": Good. No peeking <3.
(Fade to black) Splash (You now enter the character creation screen to recreate your character as male Mithra only and rename)

After either: Now, wasn't that fun, (insert new name here)? I'll have to forward to your new address here for the next month. Just remember, you might be (new name) now, but you'll always be Salome to me <3.

Notes: If you die more than 30 times during any individual segment, you'll return to Perih, where she will call you a wuss and say you'll have to do the quest some other time.

After you finish this quest, your old name will still be taken and show up on the search list with "Limbo" as the area. The search comment will say "Hi, I did Perih's quest. I'm now (insert new name here). Thank you and have a nice day." After a month, the name will be released and anybody can take it.

Welcome to the effects of boredom in a computer class.

lol

nice name :D

[Darkvalentine]

A dev team who isn't so utterly horrible when it comes to itemization, game balance, HNM drop rates, addressing major concerns that the player base has, and so on.

Non-racist customer service that isn't utter crap.

i think they should Let Blizzards Dev Team Take over FFXI Dev team.

[Septimus]

It is funny, Square did not add any new Fellowship quests in this update, yet amazingly still AV is not fixed, KS99 fights do not drop abjurations, and my mog safe is not any bigger. I thought they were spending so much time on NPCs that they could not fix anything else in the game. (I guess they are just lazy.)

Unless you have completed the level 50 cap for Fellows, I do not really care about your opinion. Some people like them, other people do not- obviously Square is not neglecting end game because they devote all of their resources on Fellowship.

Personally, I would like to see some an ENM or two that is one person and his/her Fellow. Hell, a Limbus zone designed for solo + NPC would kick a whole lot of ass. (Plus it would make some of you haters shut up and level your NPCs.)

[Tanthalas]

Abjuration drops in KS99 would make camping kings pointless. LSes would just go on KS Farming runs and just spam the BCs. No competition for claim and you can do it whenever you want? Sounds WoWish ;x.

God forbid SE change one of it's most flawed and hated gameplay aspects and replace it with something that WoW uses and is almost universally adored. I don't think you'll find a single person that thinks kings are well designed, Fafhogg especially.

Fafhogg might be one of the biggest motivators for FFXI players to continue decaying their lives away online. It's actually quite ingenious.

I don't think anyone is talking about exping here. I've tanked Tiamat while eight summoners doing 1k damage every minute without needing TP and without getting hate for a fraction of their MP pool. If that isn't overpowered please tell me what is.

My BPs on Tiamat usually go from 300-700. Please teach me your secrets.

[Amara]

(Galka 75 smn in full af2 here) If we're so overpowered in the damage department, how come 95% of my party invites come from a PLD who cant find a WHM to cure him? (hence why I only invite ninja tanks when I form my parties ) We are powerful, yes, but every tank on every server seems to think all we're good for is cure III and stoneskin.

I'm not talking about exp here, I mean endgame. (If you want good exp at 75, anyway, just do the same thing everyone else does, find 3-4 other people with the same job as you, and a bard, and destroy things, 5 smns doing 1k+ predclaws = dead mob. Keeping chain going past 6 would be a problem probably, but it still would be better exp than anything involving a paladin tanking 8) )

As for why you are overpowered endgame; you are a very versatile mage job able to do more physical damage consistantly than melee jobs that only have the ability to do physical damage, the only thing they have going for them over you on hnms is skillchains, and hey, theres some bloodpacts with skillchain elements that smns never use, I'm sure they could use them for blms to burst thunder/ice too.

That being said, I wouldn't say smn needs to be nerfed or anything, I know the job is absolute hell to level 1-70 and its sort of reparations for it, just it irks me when people don't want to admit their job is unbalanced.

You need to rub carbuncle against Fenrir. The static will cause a new blood pact to activate.

We usually see two or three 1k's a fight from each summoner with summoner doublet and decent merits.

My sarcasm detector is broken right now, so I don't know if you were kidding or not...

No I wasn't kidding. I break 1k somtimes, but thats about as often as when Garuda wiffs for 30 dmg. My bps are usually in that range.

[Genosync]

There's too many KI/Alla fucking noobs in this thread.

Please, take your shitty, non-endgame improving ideas that are just as entertaining as "fixing 'sea'" (yeah, I hope you get that, it's been a running joke in this thread) and gtfo.






For all those that don't get it. YOU FISH IN THE FUCKING SEA.
