Time mage in JP mag?

[Coldone]

I would be nice to have a new opening movie. Or maybe one at the end of a mission line.

[Hapernack]

You make valid points (that i overlooked lol) but technically it is STILL 20 years after the war so... its possible for him to finish promies...

Its been like hundreds of game years and somehow the Great War was still the same amount of time ago...

[Rocl]

something i've recently realized about the opening movie is that at the end... 20 years later, Aldo all the adventurers come up on that hill and look at tavnazia, which technically doesn't make sense since 20years after the war, tavnazia would've been broken off and "lost forever".... amongst those people are ones carrying flags... i swear, watch flagmaster be a new job >.> lol

in the RoZ manual they talking about the Tavnazian Marquisate (sp) hiding out in Norg, which leads me to think the Tenshodo always knew about Tav? idk it's been forever since I did CoP, but I thought it was just the general population who found about Tavnazia after that one mission >_> and Mildaurion re-opened trading with Jeuno directly

[Kyreth]

That'd be amusing if a "past mission" took you back there to Tavanzia to change part of the outcome of the war for the better.

Not that I think there wouldn't be a nice big explosion either way, but still.

whoever wrote and organized this did a really great job in explaining the order of events of the great war...

this seriously shows how the expansion looks like it'll play out

Pretty sure Battle of Jeuno happens before the fall of Tavnazia.

I predicted this when i made the time travel thread. Yes, I am that awesome.

I'm also from future.

And from the past, from the future.

I MADE THIS POST A LONG TIME AGO, A REAL LONG TIME AGO

It was the dopest post I ever wrote...in 2004...

Yeah >.> gogo SE lol.... they could at least rewrite code so it acurately depits years passed.. (unless it takes waaaaay to much time ><)

But seriously.. where are the scans? ; ;

[Sonomaa]

I have a feeling something we do in the past will open up a world event that changes the future and possibly allows us to have standard walking access to safehold.

I wish upon wishes that we could have a dynamis-realtav, like the city split into several sections, once you defeat them all you get a chance to fight the avatar of the lightbringer and possibly bring it into your LS as a useful weapon

mmmm ideas

[Priran]

the chance of a world event in FFXI is about on par with the chance of entertaining/rewarding PvP in FFXI

Oh nice, so we are getting a world event?

HAY GUYS, where does the boat go and why can't we get on?

if you think ballista is entertaining, you seriously need to take a break from FFXI and go play something else with actual PvP.

I'm not even going to touch "rewarding", a fucking title is not a reward

We've had this conversation before, it was something like "baww my asuran fists don't one-shot people".

congratulations on proving ballista is entertaining and rewarding


clap clap clap for you

[BRP]

Oh, uh, plenty of people do Ballista and enjoy it, mainly 60 cap(and JPs). I don't think I need to provide proof?

[Priran]

if I asked 500,000 people to stick their dick in a blender for 5 bucks, I could probably get a couple takers. Is it entertaining? Is it rewarding? Not for them.

[BRP]

So your argument is "Ballista is not fun for anyone because I don't find it fun"? Oh, very convincing. Here, have a Beak Necklace.

[Max™]

I loved the hell out of running around with a great axe in ballista, tagging along with a monk, Asuran Fists > Steel Cyclone > Darkness is hands down the funniest way to own someone short of killing charmed people/killing someone while charmed.

Anyone remember the Bum/Pir/Tim fads? Went 2/3 back then, except noone saw Pup coming. What now? One Blu/Cor useful job, and two "wtf, where did that come from?" jobs. >.<

[Priran]

You'd have a point if it weren't such an overwhelming minority that played Ballista. There's a level 60 match being played right now, and on my server, 13 people are playing, not even 1% of the server. Meanwhile, on MMOs like WoW, nearly everyone participates in the PvP.

So if I spend over an hour of my time, what do I get? Some piddly EXP, points to use for temporary items in ballista, and if I'm lucky (or just the only person of a certain job that plays ballista) a medal with a title. But if I won the Olympiad in Lineage II, I'd get exclusive abilities, equipment, weapons, items I couldn't find anywhere else, a chat channel reserved for myself, and a glow around my character.

Ballista would probably be more popular if it offered some kind of assault-style point reward system for purchasing gear/items. Although it would probably be too easy to exploit if they didn't plan it well (you let me kill you for points today, you get to kill me tomorrow, etc).

I really hope they post some magazine scans soon, this is one hell of a derail.
