This game does not need a raised level cap. If it ever does, I will quit immediately.

Bullshit , you'd do the quest to hit 80 like the rest of us vultures.

It'd be nutty having something to top smacking Maat around.

I'd think something to expand your subjob to 2/3 mainjob level would be exceptionally mindblowing as well. 80/40 would be something else, so would 75/50.

Though I remember many who already obtained 75 were very angry)

Damn right I was >_> I had 3 75's by that time.

I didn't have 3, but BST was my first job to 75 before any xp changes (rr hairpins, rings, ENMs), so I felt a bit sad about that for sure. I wasn't a true soloer tho. I did a mixture of partying, soloing and mainly duoing, but to think I knew one guy that soloed the entire way. Felt like an eternity to make a dent in your TNL when it was so slow per hour to start with. ;x

I remember having a discussion in my LS about something similar. Like a "Third Discipline" where you would have your Main Job, Subjob, and one selected job trait or ability from a third job.

Heh. I was BST74 when the xp change happened, nearly all soloed. I was sooo pissed, especially when they didn't give me the "lost" xp back on my current tnl and ding me to 75 XD

Felt like an eternity to make a dent in your TNL when it was so slow per hour to start with. ;x

I can remember spending 6 hours in sky one day on flamingos/groundskeepers for 18k xp and thinking that was good.

Then again, at that time my non-BST friends used to tell me that 5k/hour parties were great ones...

I remember manaburns being the uber exp pt and 6k/hr being on the edge of "you're talking BS" territory, and i've been playing since the EU/CoP release. Nowadays, if it isn't 15k/hr+, people complain.

i remember running into you quite a bit in garbage citadel =p

[Lordwafik]

Hmm would be interesting for them to release post CoP notes.

Anyone remember things like, fishing monsters didn't used to fish up claimed? Remember the days when you had to bring a friend when fishing devil mantas, because RMT voked them off you? Also those mobs would aggro just about anyone without sneak up, instead of just the fisher.

(what I don't understand is how they can do this, and not make mobs that only aggro the BST while pathing back normally, silly SE)

I remember spending over 6hrs in Garlaige one sunday to push through to 60. I actually felt nauseous afterward because I had been concentrating *so* hard. Complimentary pic of my first sighting of Serket taken around the 10th April 2004.

[Epical]

Lets see...

Scorpion Harness... check!
Verm... check!
Optical Hat... check!
lolJerkin... check!
Errant... check!

Hmm, equipment hasn't changed much in a little under three years.

Everyone would do Berserk. But I've also wanted something like this.

[Intense]

Or maybe double/triple attack?

Screw that. MNK/NIN with triple attack. Unless of course you mean a trait you could actually access on a subjob, in which case I would go with double attack. While you can get it on Brutal, the increased proc rate you'd get with the actual job trait would definitely outweigh the damage increase from Berserk.

Edit: Intense beat me.

[Cesaria]

I just remember the 6 hour holdfests at Behemoth where it was like "bring your warp cudgels guys it's skill-up time!"

I remember logging in at Behemoth straight after the rage timer patch and having the most hilarious sight when it raged and proceeded to stick horns into half the LSes on the server who didn't know why the purple dinosaur had suddenly got an attitude.

[Soje]

The best event was the lvl 1 dugeon explore event.

Participating in the event was fun but the absolute most fun was "farming" scorpions in Ifrit's Cauldron and seeing how many lvl ones would drop dead out of inivisible when it did it's AOE. Hours of entertainment.
