Or Movalpolos

Would be nice cause I always tend to miss tells in places like Dynamis or Besieged

I'm sure once you get used to it you'll be able to pick it out. I know my cell phone's ring from across a dance club just because the same ringtone has lodged itself in my brain from hearing it.

Sure, that works for the PC players, but it wont work for me since i play on PS2. You would think they'd make it loud enough, but for fucks sake it's like a fuckin bird chrip, so useless for non-pc players. Again like I said, failures-_-.

Good news though, no apperent issues reported so far with windower via the site (windower.net). Any one else running ok with it so far?

I am pretty disappointed in the selection of new equipment. Not even 1 new endgame 1h-Axe

Would it matter? They'll never introduce something to top Juggernaut.

Not even Maneater was able to do it.

[Cylo]

You're right, of course... I guess my problem is I just didn't see anything to get excited about for my character. That new MP Drain scythe is kinda interesting for BST/WHM, but not all that useful.


edit... Even those Beseiged BST gloves are weak considering they take up the same slot as monster gloves ><

Missions 18 Sweets for the Soul
Mission Orders:
Ambassador Karababa has arrived from the Federation of Windurst. The planned festivities turn into puppet rivalry, and the insulted
ambassador bypasses the palace in favor of a visit to the Shararat
Teahouse.

lol. can you guess who that is?

and looking through the titles, there's no title hinting what monster the behemoth with wing mob is. Might not even be a standard nm. The only three nm related titles are the three besiege nms.

Shining Scale Rifler
Troll Subjugator
Gorgonstone Sunderer

Gorgonstone Sunderer

I'm betting Santoto's crazy lookin pet. Sure looks enough like a Gargoyle to me, and Gorgonstone kinda sounds like Gargoyle...

Bah

Bear in mind Dank... they also closed the forums to unregistered accounts, who also tend to lurk these forums on update days.

A BG forum that still works is win.

QFT thanks for the great work lately guys ^^ (SHUT UP MY NOSE ISNT THAT BROWN CUZ ITZ TRUEEEE!)

[Alistaire]

BLU gets hosed again. Only decent legs we can equip are Homam, which have a waiting list as long as my..... well yeah.

Only legs we can equip with +STR or +DEX are the lv 21 Garrison Hose.

Galliard Trousers.

Fellow NPCs will now mimic the player when using the /bow emote command.

Awesome, worth the 2 month wait for this.

Yessssssssssssss this is what ffxi is all about.

[Epincus]

So I see a couple small changes that people requested (chime when /telling), some changes which serve no practical use (as nice as it may be, your NPC /bowing is a novelty which will wear off rather quickly)....and that's really it? The changes to the jobs are nice and all, but from a content perspective it doesn't necessarily add gameplay to the mix.

Not to play the proverbial Flux card, guys, but I looked through the item list, and outside of a couple items which raised an eyebrow, nothing seemed to strike me as being remotely groundbreaking. Some items were laughable (sup BST gloves that were obsolete 2 years ago) while others are realistically speaking almost never going to be used (http://ffxi.somepage.com/itemdb/8896).

Unless they changed the besieged NM's (and I hope to god they mean items dropping off the equivalent in the strongholds) or other ToAU NM's to drop something awesome we don't know about yet, I think it'll be back to Aery much sooner than later for many. I mean, they didn't even add new meripo spots and try passing that off as content this time.

Yeah, looking at all of the rejoicing being done by SAM and RNG I am sure that everyone agrees... >_>

Never mind the Summoners. I mean, all that dancing in the streets is nothing at all.

*spoiler*

Never mind the whole "underworld rising" Odin/Alexander stuff going on from the storyline missions, which is not only a neat story, but probably points at the next couple of avatars for Summoners.
