FFXI Update History JP Beta to CoP: A Player's Perspective

[Drace]

The "Bald Galka Festival" strike event also has been made throught the users. This event means: They create Bald Galkas and make shouting and says continuously. Used to acuse someone in game. Of course, this rewarded them with a nice warning, a server message and from other users huge disrespect.

Edit: In the name of Ding, I christen this the Bald Galka Page ~

HNM or High level Notorious monster has been added. However they repoped every 16min like other monsters (dang...).


(HNM at 55 cap were like KA, Roc, Sim, Serket) oh man...hot.

[Priran]

I swear to God I'm going to pistol whip the next guy who says "fuidama."

[Drace]

Serklets Earth Powder no longer hits the Party members who are in the first floor (this was horrendous. Before Shiia, my character named Xenno an elvaan mage were exping in there, and all of a sudden, BAM all party member dead. Why? Seklet's aoe affected even on the first floor...)

Endless entertainment...this needs to be re-implemented.

[Miruka]

Isn't fuidama the normal SATA?

Yokodama was the one nerfed.

Thank you. It even says Yokodama on that picture.

I want the old TP setup just so I can see endless crazy endless Asuran Fists/Rampage/Ku or whatnot. Sure it'd be unbalanced but I bet it would be FUN.

- As next exp becomming severe and mobs continuously having high level defense, to get a good exp rate they needed an attack and haste buffer which were the bard, and a MP refresher which were the Rdm, and if one of them were missing it was hard to earn any exp at all.

...couldn't agree more.

- Post skill 200, the difference between Skill A and below Skill B difference becomes more severe. Job specific WS has become clear and each job has been given their proficient part and whats not. (warriors starts to use more axes, leaves swords behind and such)
- Not only the WS but also have issues with accuracy equation. Prior to skill level 200, the equation of accuracy was 1skill = 1accuracy. Post skill 200 the accuracy equation becomes 1skill =0.2 accuracy

Does this still apply today? 10skill = 2ACC? That's makes sea torques and merits absolutely useless.....

No, it's more like .9 ACC per skill point.

Great find, this was an amazing read.

When was that discovered?

[Seditedi]

I hope you are joking.....
its .9 ACC and .9 ATK per skill point.

[Lordwafik]

Amazing read, 5 stars.

I'd love to have played FFXI since JP launch, it was probably a whole different game then,

[Seditedi]

Yea, I wish I started earlier before the endgame was overpopulated.. after reading that you can see just how far the game has come.

[Khamsin]

What type of hate do flies and lizards have, anyway?

Other than Darters, we all know the kind of hate they have.

Never had a noob tag a lizard in the jungles or CN? They kill everyone in the party, even if no one touches them or the person who mis-targeted.

[Krandor]

I liked these ones

- It has been anounced that more "Equipment' will be dropped in the dungeons. But the reality was, the mobs in the field stopped dropping "Equipments" (rofl...)

- Drk can now use Two handed sword WS. But since there were no good two handed swords usable by drk, since primary weapons were for plds, two handed sword has become Pld's weapons and for drk it was a mare extra weapon to have (like Sythe skill for blm).

- After 1year that Kirin and 4 gods has been implemented and finally they added unique textures towards them.

Wow, never knew that. Suzaku just used to look like a normal Greater Bird? etc. etc. ?
