POL NEWS : Accounts Banned & STF Report(10/22/2008)

Ever think people want dynamis macros or don't want to have to type stuff in?

I've been a victim of this too often.

It is, since idiots removed fly .dats to claim HNMs easier in the aery, otherwise, SE doesn't care because:

-They can't see your .dat changes
- Even if you say you changed .dats they have no proof therefore they can't touch you.

So more than likely the GM must not have liked your LS mate or your LS mate likely used windower and certain plugins that are tale tell signs, like the one that adds timestamps to your chat..and when the GMs reviewed it, they seen the timestamps added, unless it doesn't get logged in the chat logs anymore.

Only the initial beta of timestamp added anything that could be seen server-side. Chat logs are local files, falls under the same umbrella of them not being able to scan to see if you changed certain .dat files or not.

I actually meant to say dynamic not dynamis. But yes, I've had it happen numerous times where I'll go and Cure V random DD, but they blink and I cast on myself instead. I even use the suggested setup from earlier.

[Corrderio]

Uhh, what's wrong with blinkmenot?

Like I said. I won't start an arguement. However I think it's giving PC users who use it an unfair advantage over healers who play on PS2/360.

I know I'm a minority on that thought to.

[altwight]

You realize FFXI is so shitty because of you PS2/360/PS3 users right? So get a fucking computer and shut up. This goes to all PS2/360/PS3 users that whine about PC being better.

[Corrderio]

lolwut?

ps2 users get things loaded faster by default, this has been proven
xbox users get automatic draw distance, also proven
pc users get dicked, proven!

Ill take what I can get, no game should ever force fullscreen, and if it does, it should allow alt tabbing

[Corrderio]

Meh, I don't think PC users are getting dicked. I just think SE needs to put more effort than they do on the PC version. The official windower is fine IMO, however the biggest flaw they have is the brightness is screwed up.

As for BlinkMeNot. I don't see why SE makes you blink anyway when you change gear.

[Sonomaa]

I think that's just a problem with SE really. I know a lot of the problems SE can fix on their own easy.

its the EQ mentality, its what Sony used to do for everquest, EQ windows was their windower, superior in every single way. Sony finally relented and made their own windowed mode for the game. Why did they fight it for so long? They had coded the game shitty, you could hex change stuff in the game with a simple memory editor and effect anything you wanted.

Code your game badly, and youll get bit in the ass.

[Corrderio]

Yeah, I just revised my last post to reflect that. But I do agree SE needs to fix some of the issues/annoyances this game has.

Honestly. I don't think SE's windower is bad. It just needs a lot of work which SE obviously isn't going to do. If they couldn't upgrade XI to DX9 I don't have much faith in them.

[Saithorx]

Blinkmenot lets you cast on the player you intended to. Your cure really should have been a Cure V on yourself for 0 HP and not the dying party member.

Ever hear of /ma "Cure V" name or <p#>?

That is exactly what I did when I was leveling my WHM. Its at 50 atm, and I haven't used it in probably a year. I was one of those people that encouraged making macros like this to those who complained when someone blinks. I'm just explaining what I know is going through peoples minds.

Alt1 /ma "Cure III" <me>
Alt2 /ma "Cure III" <p1>
Alt3 /ma "Cure III" <p2>
Alt4 /ma "Cure III" <p3>
Alt5 /ma "Cure III" <p4>
Alt6 /ma "Cure III" <p5>

I had macros back when I started on WHM. Once I got to a higher level and had more things to do, I couldn't afford the macro space for this so I stopped using it.
