[Not Kuno]

That idea is fucking retarded. My MB idea is 500x better.

[levish]

Meritting isn't high level content.

Considering you have to be 75 to do it, I'll go out on a limb and say it is and you are wrong.

It's also endgame content (as in character progression after you hit the cap).

i hate to agree with Flux but i was chaining mobs to improve my character way back at Lv 1.

you weren't meriting till 75

so you cannot do it until you are high level, making it high level content

[FFXIFlux]

Don't ask any flux questions. He basically is trying to turn this game into a game that its not. Most people play the game (not necessarily this board, but this board is f'in weird) because we LIKE what it is.

Then quit posting so much and get back to camping Faf.

[layoneil]

since i have some free time here.

I did a little research on the background of Sage Sundi, and it looks like that not only he is a complete liar of what he does at SE, but he is also a con artist because he is trying to pose as something that he is not.

Sage Sundi is NOT the producer of FFXI and is in no way affiliated with the development team of FFXI.

i don't know where or when he misrepresented himself, but i've known for 2 years that he's nothing more than a PR Clown that can speak some English.

even if he did say he was the person responsible for everything about FFXI, you have to be pretty naive to believe him.

1. Fafnir/Nidhogg, Behemoth/King Behemoth, and Adamantoise/Aspidochelone are the only monsters that drops the abjurations everyone wants.

this is blatantly untrue for 2 reasons. Behemoth and Adamantoise drops abjurations since when? Crimson Cuisses, Zenith Mitts, Shura Haidate/Togi, all stuff that people want that doesn't drop from those mobs.

good job not understanding the problem.

Is their any possibility or consideration to expand those items to be dropped by other monsters with possible faster spawn times or make BCNM/ENM with special requirements? (Example: Hydra, Tiamat, Jormungand, Vrtra, Ouryu (BCNM), Cerberus, etc.

obviously you need to ask this for the one millionth time because this never happened:

Question: Will there be more chances to obtain relic equipment or abjurations in the future?
Matsui: We are currently planning to increase the number of opportunities players will have to obtain abjurations. As for relic equipment, we are planning to release similar equipment in the Aht Urhgan areas.

http://www.playonline.com/ff11us/event/ ... esta2.html

2. Is their any plans to increase the level cap anytime soon?

for what?

as if they haven't been designing the game around Lv 75 for the last 3 years.

as if they didn't create a system that allows Lv 75 players to continue to get XP and improve their character.

as if they haven't been expanding on this system for the last 2 years.

3. Why is their no real contact between the FFXI community and the FFXI development team?

why can't we all speak Japanese? i'm aware that even the JPs don't have much access to them, which is bad. but there simply is no satisfactory answer you can get for this question that hasn't been given before. if you haven't noticed their communication has "improved", the only answer you're going to get is that they'll keep trying.

4. Why does FFXI have GMs if they don't do anything?

they move people that get stuck in walls. they're not suppose to be your psychiatrist. i'm certainly not satisfied with the quality of the GMs but asking the question in such a stupid way is pointless.

See, we enjoy it because we don't. I, and many others, know how big this game really is.

[Lhexh]

1-2 weeks to get a full JoL pop set ?? If you're going like 5-7 times a week and get lucky with the drops maybe....

Love sets are not difficult to farm, 1-2 weeks a love set is easy to get with 3 nights a week farming. Our last 11 Love sets all came with on average less than 1 weeks farming. We were finishing 2 Love sets a week for a few weeks trying to get a few AV kills under our belt. Tomorrow we have 11 Tier 2 Jailer spawn sets that we got from only 3 night's farming.

Just have to know there are tricks to spawn every Jailer/Ix, and all of them can be popped 15 minutes after they previously died. Nothing in sea is a lottery, and the only roadblock is drop rates which average out to 50% over time on Virtues with TH present.

That's gonna happen a lot in this thread... That's why I want them to fix people being retarded

And wtf my avatar changed to jeryhn's.

[Dbill]

Give TH to another job besides thfs.

[Sendra]

But grant SE the power to take the ridill away for those dickhead wars that think they are all that when they get it??

That'd RUIN takedown.

[Ahnuld]

-The h2h DMG calculation is broken. No other job can get close to 50 DMG/174 delay. What are your plans to fix this issue in any way possible?

GTFO

[Airshort7]

I wish they could get rid of the rolenberry fields bazaaring thing.

I'd like a zone specifically set up for bazaaring like that. Have a long thin zone with lots of stalls. Make it impossible to set up a bazaar unless you are in a stall. Make it like 1000 gil for 3 rl days.

Everyone would be in a straight line and it would be damn easy to check every single person. Stick useful things in this area like mog house, AH, delivery, NPC store and most important.... stick a warp person in each of the main cities that can teleport you to this bazaar entrance. It's stupid, but then so are a lot of things in this game.

Can you please multi-instance Dynamis? More and more people are hitting level 75, and there are more and more Dynamis shells as a result. I am fed up of being jacked out of zone runs. For a part of the game that is supposed to be done with large teams on a scheduled basis, not having the ability to assure yourself of the availability of a run is a serious mistake.

I think saying 'please multi-instance dynamis' is the wrong way to go. They will say the same thing, server limitations or whatever they have been saying. start small..... 'Is it possible to have 2 instances for each dynamis, instead of 1'. Even having just one more instance would help greatly.

I only read to here, but you think they're going to make 1000 stalls?

[Lhexh]

That's because it's true. If you still think DRG Ix and Temeprance are lotteries then that's why you are struggling to pop them.

you weren't meriting till 75

so you cannot do it until you are high level, making it high level content

you don't seem to get it. i chained Puks on my SMN at Lv 70, the same ones people merit on at Lv 75, my PT was performing the exact same actions and gaining pretty much the exact same results.

flipping a switch in your Mog House doesn't make doing the same exact thing for the same exact reason something new and different.

also being able to do the same exact thing in a Pre-ToAU zone also makes it non-existant content. even if ToAU wasn't there people can achieve the same exact goals (by meriting in another area).

it's new content when you're doing something new (like Assault and Besieged) or if it offers something new (like new items: Algol).

Let me guess ... ebon panels?

[Retrieving/C.D/Searain]

Anyways, I'm going to repeat a few questions/make new ones. For emphasis and such.
-I don't have a Ridill yet and it's still a rediculously dominant weapon, far better than any other weapon. Are there plans to change that (in any way.)
-Mnk own Drk in merit parties also due to the fact that the h2h DMG calculation is broken. No other job can get close to 50 DMG/174 delay. What are your plans to fix this issue in any way possible?
-Could you please make all the jobs the same and possibly redesign DRK to be slightly more powerful than anyone else, even though KrakenDRK already kick ass in certain situations?
-Etc

*fixed* <3

[JoOeetheplatypuS]

-The h2h DMG calculation is broken. No other job can get close to 50 DMG/174 delay. What are your plans to fix this issue in any way possible?

GTFO

Are you saying that's not far more powerful than the rest of the weaponry in the game? Are you saying MNK ISNT overpowered?

FYI fixes come in 2 ways. Buffs or nerfs. Nerfs are easy, clean, and aside from a few emo players generally don't fuck with the game too mcuh. Buffs are dangerous, dirty, and can fuck with the entire game, but make people feel happier (though some people will bitch no matter what IE SAMs bitching about Abs-TP.)

*fixed* <3

I believe that a weapon 2x as powerful as any other is broken and should be fixed either by offering alternatives or nerfing it.
This isnt about DRK. This is about damage equations.
I'm happy with where DRK is now.

No, I just think you're hardgay, like Al'taieu.



EDIT: HI RAICHAN!

[Lhexh]

Can't believe people still have realized Temperance's pop conditions. It's the exact same as Faiths. Just a moving flag between each tower, that depops and moves to another tower after a certain amount of time. Killing 1 tower at a time moving in a cycle is not the way to pop Temperance efficiently. Split up into smaller groups and kill multiple towers at the same time, we've killed as many as 5 Temperance in the same night, its no longer a road block for us.
