MMOs (FFXI)

Feb 06, 2011 04:27

Since becoming completely engulfed by the grasp of Vana'Diel in FFXI around 2003, I've played nothing that even comes close to providing the same amount of enjoyment from a game. Sure, the game had a ton of problems, but towards the beginning most were minor nuances that just made obtaining the top tier gear even that much more valuable... (JP ( Read more... )

I completely understand. I did the same thing. Went to lolWoW for about a month or two, then to Perfect World, then to something called Sword of the New World? Think that is the name of the last one. Graphics are beautiful but too damn easy to play. Point and click and watch your characters do everything for you. Went back to WoW for about a month this past year to chat with momz who has now gotten really into that game. Moved back home for a bit and am now playing my aunts old character in FFXI on the Odin server. Got whm (hate it), smn (omg love it) and rng to 90. Working on AF3 atm for at least smn and rng. A lot to do in the game now. I got a few job emotes and have actually found myself liking the game again. Got windower and change my mithra to a taru once in a while so I can see my lovable wiccy again lol.

What she really looks like. White Mage

oh and you can now trio a lot of the HNMs if you know what you are doing. Trio'd Khimy for months x_x all because a friend wants that stupid sword lol.

Have you tried Smn/Sch? I learned a lot about the job and found out how fun it is to play. I'm not sure about how the new level cap works, but it was really effective @ the 75 cap. I could sleep and enfeeble quite consistently with a few gear swaps =]

I kinda wanna screw around on XI. I'm gonna reinstall it and try and find a decent acct to use...

gotta unlock sch myself, but from what I seen, a lot of ppl use it as a sub, especially whms. I just hate playing whm so guess that is why I haven't unlocked sch lol. If you come to Odin server, let me know! Lyfe is my game name and I'm usually on at night and some during the day. Abyssea is mostly what ppl are doing because of AF3 + gear. But yeah, let me know!

The weaknesses are so easy to proc in the right hands, if you have killed all the zone bosses and caturae you get an abyssite which gives you clues to which spell/weaponskill it could be, apart from Red !! proc for KIs, I don't bother with yellow or blue for the most part if we don't have a BLM as TH is king still and I've seen great drops come from just TH8-9.
As for the /SCH thing now S, it's useless atm whilst main events are still in abyssea, there's an atma which give 10 a tick refresh and 2 that give 5, MP has no been an issue for me on WHM spamming Cure 6, and on NIN I sub WHM for self Haste and unlimted Cure 4, if you've not played the game in abyssea you're missing out imo, I still get the out claiming thrill when I was doing my Empyrean Katana, and it was on a NM that repops every 10-15 mins lol.
If you have any questions about it S or Wiccy send me a tell on Ragnarok, name is Tingil or comment back here :D would be good to see you back bro.

Damn, that looks sick. Wonder if my PC could run it.. (It runs 14 decent I guess)

sstellar March 8 2011, 05:56:23 UTC

imo 14 shouldn't have been released. I don't know what the hell SE is thinking.. I've tried a few times to play for more than 5-10 minutes, but after I get tired of looking at my hot mithra, I'm just not interested in anything the game has to offer...

One thing that we are all likely missing from anything we play, that is a vital part of any MMO, is what Solstice provided.. The teamwork, comradery, and stuff to do that comes with working as a unit. It's of course even more enjoyable when the group is as tightly knit as we were, while functioning efficiently. I hope one day a lot of us can reunite in an MMO that's decently enjoyable and pwn shit...
