Wondering if the tech-savvy of these boards have an hypothesis for a strange occurring I've been experiencing.
Happened to me three times already (in different days/weeks).
No lag at all anywhere I tried (cities, outside of Jeuno, outside of Adoulin etc) but whenever I went into Limbus zones, I had a huge delay on almost all of my actions. Talking about 5-6+ seconds.
Now if we were talking about instances I could think of many possibilities, but Limbus ain't instanced in theory...
So any hypothesys on what could be goin on?
Sadly I didn't remember to check if these issues were present in the Limbus lobby as well or just in the battlezones.

The gap between party and solo point rewards is very large and the same points are used for Empy +3 and Primes. The good +2 earring drop rates are so low that even party players view it as nice when it happens but not as a motivation to do more sortie, the same could already be said about +1 from a solo players perspective.
SE has a habit to introducing new content extremely grindy (not uncommon in MMOs). Unfortunately they then miss the opportunity to tweak the content for solo play for like 5++ years once the main wave of "elites" and party players finished the main grind.
The first wave of players mostly lose interest in the content long before the main reward of the content comes in reach of solo play so the content effectively becomes low interest for the entire population even though there would still be plenty of incentive to grind it for at least half of the player base.
They say they want to combat RMTs And now, if I want to do content alone, I can't even create new accounts on the server. You could still buy existing asura accounts but I suppose the markup breaks the buisness model?

Sortie sucks
But I'm not gonna shed a tear for morons who get their ***banned because they set their fleehack to 800 and POS all across the maps.

Oh ***, that Welcome to Derry was dope.
I see that they managed to keep Bill Skarsgård. It pays to be naturally creepy, I guess. It works for Andy Serkis!

The SE unfettered ban hammer is out of hand. BUT, I believe they are intentionally trying to kill the game without actually saying, "Sorry all, shutting the servers down.
People have literally been saying this since CoP, and there were even a few people saying it prior to CoP. It was always false, and will always be a bad read of the circumstance. The budget for this game is quite small, and they're still developing new content. SE would have no motivation to axe FFXI unless they planned to move people from this project internally and reassign them elsewhere, AND they were unable to hire replacements for a reasonable cost. Additionally, they would not kill the game by telling low-salary employees to hand out bans more liberally. There are 0 companies of any significant size that make project or department-level decisions this way.
Today's grind with the largest payout (Prime weapons) is arguably equivalent to the grind involved in leveling a job to 75 in the early days, and arguably less frustrating. It's laughably less grindy than building a Relic in the early days (like not even in the same universe). The grinding in this game is less intense than ever.
Two things I agree with you about: 1) The gulf between established players and new players is huge, with little-to-no incentive for established players to assist new players with anything at all. 2) The grind:reward ratio for Limbus is utterly abysmal. Like... absurdly amaturish levels of unbalanced (I think I may be the only person on my server consistently killing NMs multiple times a week, so my perspective may be skewed).

Drop rate resets monthly now, so if your servers NM kill count was low pre-maintenance, you're *** for another 2 weeks.
HOWEVER, considering all the spaghetti code, the drop rate calculations could have been inadvertently altered.

I wouldn't know how to turn on a bot if there were instructions glued to my eyeballs.  I don't get what this references exactly, but I will + it because it's Niflheim.
Her buttom is in her pu-pu.
You can can only use it once.

The disparity between veteran players and new or old players who have not maxed out gear in old content is vast, while playtime is limited for most players.
I wish SE would come up with a reward system for combining the needs of these 2 groups. That alone would encourage content participation & boost other players in to current high end content.
Also, Limbus is awful content. 100% pure grind.

Slightly different. The former does not necessarily imply the latter. The latter is sometimes there, sometimes not.

Para is very helpful for MNK at least.

Slow doesn't do anything. Paralyze works really well. (but you don't want para him down if you are trying to kill him fast)
|

Some posts in here somewhere but slow does nothing for aminon his swings are a fixed delay

Does anybody know if Slow works at all on Aminon?
I don't see any difference at all between Saboteur Slow II and no Slow at all.
Conversely the difference with or without Paralyze II is quite obvious instead, very noticeable.
I thought maybe Aminon, like some mobs in Abyssea, is not affected by Slow because his "autoattacks" are actually TP moves? Kinda like ironclads and some other mobs etc?

Will only take you five+ years and several rounds of power creep to clear all of these.
Definitely worth it.

I'll try to signal boost this if I can. Good luck!

You say that, but today's bots are so advanced and simple, even a bot can run them!
