How can you not remember that fight? It was literally one of the most memorable fights in the games history and Ultima/Omega with those same models were reused over 8 times thru the years of this games life lol.
Quote: North America (PC/PS2) - September 21, 2004
It was 20 years ago. There have been quite a few dungeons and raids under the bridge since then.
Being 81 now probably doesn't help either.

pretty sure frod had access to if not outright ran some of the chars that botted legion, although none of the names nsane listed are ones I remember. maybe some did get hit after all.

Lol man, you're pretty Michigan Mad about legion bots if you keep editing all your posts with more and more *** about them.

How many are you using for a given set at a time? I don't use head or hands at all anymore. At most I only ever use 2 at the same time. It used to be an issue, but other gear has eclipsed it where it doesn't matter as much. I don't think I ever dip yellow.

I mean, I'm not denying it's related to bots in legion (just the other day, someone in my new linkshell complained about the price of a couple scrolls being exorbitant, they both come from legion). But I just had to complete that completely ridiculous "take damage" objective last night. So I went on Monk/Dancer in VD1 and spam cured myself for a half hour with trusts, died, raised 3-4 times (no exp loss) until the objective was done. Took like 23 minutes. I'm sure there's people like me in Ambu who need to complete that dumb objective just sitting in the zone for half an hour letting mobs wail on them.

I think they've definitely upped the policing on Asura in response to the closing, a long time multiboxer friend of mine was permed on all 6 accounts two days after the announcement, yesterday I was transported to mordial gaol, formal warning for calling a Scrub a Scrub lol,
I've cancelled my sub for awhile, if you cant call the kettle black anymore, all that's left is snowflakes, anyways I'd be careful doing anything on Asura at the moment, it could be anything that gets you at the moment
Has anyone else experienced GM brutality over something stupid and small?
The irony of being butthurt and going public over someone else being butthurt and going to gm. At least that person had a real reason to be irritated :) You shouldn't call anyone a scrub, because of good manners, not because of TOS in the first place.

good luck my friend, those bots have been running for probably 5 years by now. surprised they lasted that long though because it was always the same characters unlike the constant stream of new chars that do salvaqe then ambuscade during the wait.
at one point you could remain in legion indefinitely and keep the zone occupied 24/7 without ever zoning. and either SE has/had no clue or just didn't think it worth addressing, which is sad.
not nearly as relevant as when adhemar gear was truly BIS, but still the only place to get reasonable amounts of things like palladian ore for ioskeha belts, as well as regen v and gravity ii scrolls. one of the easiest ways to create new gil, too, just npcing all the crap. can also npc gear bought with legion points for more money.

Or be more passive-aggressive. Something along the lines of "Going forward, you can only impress me."

Stop being so blunt, MrBlunt.
Part of the TOS, be happy you got GM jailed and a 10 minute time out and not a 3day. Keep your opinions to your self until you get them in a discord where you can tell them how you really feel with no repercussions, other than feeling like an *** afterwards when realizing that wasn't even worth it either.
P.S. Please report the Legion bots on Asura, Thank you.

Found this vid from 21/4/2006. Double Souleater Guillotine was fun.
Whoaaaa!!!
Keeping a video for almost 20 years only because that Double Souleater Guillotine made you the only red HP person in the team? Must feel good to get all the attention yeah?
Drk being drk Whoaaaa!!!
(I am jealous, because I don't have a feels good attention grabbing screenshot like this ;() Souleater Guillotine was the best thing ever! I finally get to release all of my pent-up anger from having shitty Scythe WSs and not being "allowed" to use SE by healers because "it's a waste of mp!". But notice who the static leader was? MWAHAHAHA!!!
On a less playful note, Souleater Guillotine was standard practice for me (even in EXP parties, which I also lead). In the Ultima fight I practically made us skip the final 10~15%, which is the most dangerous and when those biowtecheapons start going crazy with their TP moves.
While I have a ton of screenshots going as far back as early 2003, I barely recorded any videos. I only messed with Fraps for a bit & wasn't happy with how my recordings sucked, but I wanted to record some CoP fights nonetheless. So I have 6-4, Snoll Tzar, and Promathia (I remember Tenzen being a pushover so it didn't matter I guess). And I wish I had more recordings (like our first Neo Nyzul clear with less than a second remaining!).
Also, I just realized that Guillotine had a /p line with CALL14 in that SS.
Kinda missed it when emo line in /p and call spamming every WS won't annoy people because WS wasn't frequent lol. The time that we can make every kind of emo quote for our WS, lol. Lol yeah. But me using calls was more for the practical aspect like Skillchain coordination or Stun (which helps the NIN tank reapply Utsusemi). Call 14 is a simple notification ding, one of the least intrusive calls (but I'm not showing you my Stun macro lol).
I once partied with a WHM in Yuhtunga or Yhoator jungle, who had a pt line for every cure, even cure 1. They'd go "with a wave of my hand I remove all your suffering! {cure}". It was.. something.

This is bloody incredible, fantastic work! I've already been using it a bunch and it's incredibly helpful, thank you so much.
This might be an out-of-scope request, but I'd love an overlay box that shows what mats you need for an upgrade, idk like //jsetrack af job, since right now it's a lot of expanding chat to see exactly what mats I need for each slot.

Eh, 2k+ at peak times but these days it seems to be lower than 2k more often than not. I honestly think the rebase and time delay associated with it will be the death of the server. Too many people hit the wall and call it quits.

It is possible to name change, without a server jump.
Delete. Make a new one with the name. Call square and say oops, restore plx. It will come back requiring a new name.
That said, I don't know why anyone would want an assuran account after closure. Buy it and it gets banned in the sweep two days later.
Wasting your one time restore just to change a name seems incredibly dumb.

Basically always 2k+ online and nonestop shouts of content to do, but yes game is still stuck in COP era until rebase is done then TOAU will probably have server crashing with 5k+ playerbase. Once you 'beat' cop you kinda of just spam HNM or grind a relic, not much else to do until then.

hi mihgo!
does it run loud/hot when playing ffxi? wish I remembered the specs for the Omen laptop I had that did pretty much the same thing. eventually it basically bricked and I never did pinpoint the problem, just took the L and got a new one.

As a Gambanteinn owner and Max-Cursna-Enjoyer, I use Gambanteinn when I have Divine Seal active because it gives me an AoE cursna set without necessarily needing Yagrush. (I think with Cursna +216 or +221 and ML50's +50 Healing Skill (~588 Healing Skill maybe?), you get ~95.016% succes rate. (See: Cursna Calculator)
You can hit 100% Doom removal around ML25~30.

Assuming Windows 11, Did you disable Game Mode? Yes. Disabled even before the problem started.
Before I officially recommend the following, what are your system specs? At first glance, it sounds like you're using a laptop, some combined integrated+PCIE graphics card combination or that you are simply not using DGVoodoo (or dxproxy) Dgvoodoo2 is in use and iGPU is disabled in UEFI/BIOS.
Intel i9-14900HX
NVIDIA RTX 4070, 8 GB
32 GB RAM, 2 modules of 16GB of:
https://www.memorybenchmark.net/ram.php?ram=Samsung+M425R2GA3EB0-CWMOD+16GB&id=26241
KIOXIA XG8 SSD 1TB
Nothing is overclocked or undervolted. All stock.
Worst case, and I hope this isn't true. But, you may be using an early Intel i9-13/14x00 series CPU that was recalled ~2 years ago due to some freezing/instability issues. (Intel extended the RMA period to 3 years too. In my case, they upgraded me for free from an i9-13900k to i9-14900k, but it took 2 weeks for me to buy the new CPU and 2 MONTHS to get reimbursed by intel. I sent an email every other week until they did it, but they're support guy was always responsive) I am 95% sure only desktop CPUs were impacted, but it's entirely possible Intel was fibbing about that.
0.) If this is a new PC build with 0-2 year old hardware, did you update your BIOS settings, device drivers (not just GPU) or check your manufacturer's release notes?) First thing I did when I got this laptop was systematically update everything available on the manufacturer's website—BIOS included.
1.) Disable thermal throttling of your CPU/GPU (this is to observe if freezing happens at the same amount of time as your previous observations). You'll want to use a program like HWInfo64 to monitor System/CPU/GPU temps to make sure you're not throttling or freezing due to high temperatures. This sounds risky. I've run more intense 3D applications than FFXI without issue at a higher temp than FFXI can reach. What are the chances this affects FFXI specifically?
2.) Completely separate from #1, you can go to your BIOS and enable/disable low power states for your PCIE devices. This is to ensure that your GPU isn't entering a low-power state (called C-states) that FFXI doesn't know how to wake-up. I will doublecheck, but I think this is disabled.
3.) Odd question: Have you replaced or added any third party power or USB cables in your build. (I could tell you stories of how shotty cables from USB devices have suddenly caused blue screens and PC freezes). None. Or I should say, crashing occurs whether or not USB devices are connected.
Thanks for the ideas so far.

I have a trick for when your car is crazy hot during the summer. Before you get in a turn on the AC and run out or scream in the process, just simply get a spray bottle with distilled water and alcohol in it and spray into the car. It will cool the car very quickly. You can keep doing it after you got in and open all the window until the AC can get really cold.

The odd time i'm on DD
If i take any threatening damage
I switch to my movement speed / regen set
And bee line it to the healer
Unless i pulled hate
Than i keep that noise away from the healer

I will note when it comes to cursna the easier solution is to just have people make good holy water sets, made a huge difference for soloing Shinryu and never looked back.

For the DD meatheads, know your distance and position! You need to remember the DD meatheads are facing and have their curser locked on the battle target, the supports are outside of their view port. I think outside of roaming content like odyssey A-C and battlefields that need very particular positioning from all participants it's fair to expect the backline to make most corrections to positioning in order to stay in range.
Although I feel your pain cause I know how frustrating it is if you would have cast the correct spell just in time but get the out of range message even though people were close enough just a moment ago.

WHM was/is my main, until BLU came around. I always liked being a support class back in the day. I was a sorcerer in Dark Age of Camelot before FFXI (who remember that mmorpg?) and I was either going BLM or WHM when I first created my char.
The most frustrating thing about being a WHM today is that people are accustom to a whm trust and think they'll always get a cure, despite the dangers of the mob, that they don't realize they need to be near me for cures. It always urks me to press a macro only to be greeted with 'Out of range'. These seconds matter !
For the DD meatheads, know your distance and position!

Anyone remember yanran?
That player took being a gear Nazi to the next level
Whenever we played together
I'd tease him by calling him my Führer
I forget what fight we were doing but WHM needed a good cursna set
Had everything besides Gambanteinn but that *** wouldn't let me join
Around that time i had been working on Farsha and had most of the mats stock piled away
It pissed me off so much that i said screw it and went balls deep making Gambanteinn
The next time we played together i made sure to stylelock it
Gambanteinn ended up being overkill for that fight ><
