long rant about how I feel about current state of ff11
please don't take personal or get too offended
just a write up for my website I decided to share here
just started a several month break from ffxi
i'm not burnt out on the game
I guess i just don't like it
it holds so many of my favorite things video games can give
beastmaster, bonecrafting, tanking, pvp
I just find so much wrong with the game it really stops me
segs sortie dynad all are terrible in my opinion
cp/ep m.lvls all terrible
crafting mats on ah selling +1s selling fish terrible
I liked just logging my char in to chat with ls
but I didn't even like to do that several weeks before my break
the race change was very cool
but it literally only fixed so much other than that it's basically like nothing changed
if you played a female char you switch to a male and now a male that's the biggest change female to male or male to female
at this point I don't even care about ffxiah rank and that was the best thing ffxi had going for it for over a decade
mostly it's all because I can't smoke and play
if i'm not smoking I just want to go fast fast fast to get to where I can smoke
ffxi is kinda slow in that regard
if I am high from smoking oh hell yeah i'll play a slow game and work at it I want to feel the burden and make my high last as long as possible
I literally cannot think of one good event in the game or a good event the game has had in the past 5? years
the last thing I did that was actually fun was raising a perfect chocobo rieurturbo
ep solo is terrible you have to be in such a specific spot in life to enjoy it
who the heck wants to do the same thing for 15 hours just to lvl up and have to do the same thing for 30 hours
it's like 1,700,000 ep at lvl 40 and ur getting like 40,000 ep an hour and that's supposedly good (solo)
everything feels like a major waste of time
and in fact unless you actually get something done it is a complete waste of time
somehow standing doing nothing to build and conserve energy is the best choice
it's like because the game so so full of wasted time and long sell time
you expect so much more for the time you put in
if I play a month I expect 300m
that's 10m a day
end up only making 3.333m a day 100m a month and I don't even want to play
100m in a month is so small it's not even worth it to play
and if I took a guess over all the playerbase 100m is probably pretty decent
but it isn't lol
and there's no events you can do to even make that besides mercing or crafting
for the last several months
I felt the best way to make gil was to do nothing and sit on what you had
because to go out and do any event is a waste of time almost 100% of the time
spamming the same thing over and over for a chance at 5 7 10m isn't fun
you have to be high to enjoy something like that
and that's a entire month of doing something on repeat and you may only make 7m if you get the drop once
crafting lets say you need a stack on moonbow stones it'll have sales history of 15m that literally just happened that day or the day before then you go to buy and they want over 22m
then you don't look for a day like 2 days later and someone snipes a 15m
then it goes for a few more days and the person is buying at 22m
selling +1s if you don't undercut they don't sell
if you go over it never sells
if you just leave the market and let someone own it the price goes up
then you can undercut with the price up and usually get the last sell price
on a 15m item you put it up for 15m it won't sell only 1 sells every week or two week+
if you put for 14.2m it'll usually sell but it may not in the week
if you leave the market for a month or two it'll be at 17m then you can list for around 16.5 and sell
voidwatch is a waste digging is a waste pirates chart is a waste vrtra is never up farming mats is made near impossible
like for yggdreat bole I need to do the delve and I have the extra chars to meet the delve 3 person entry
but I have to do the adoulin missions to get a ki to get the alts into the delve area
okay i'm not going to do that lol
even if I can make hundreds of millions off of it
and camping vrtra is a waste because it's only dropping like 300k worth of mats it can take like 5 days to spawn how freaking stupid
oh and no nm is worth camping games literally got hundreds and hundreds of nms and none are worth it besides vrtra who 100% of the time ur getting like 300k
no one pvps and pvp is probably the most fun entertaining event in the entire game
somehow besieged is getting the most work done to it
and everyone is confused by that
I like brd I like bst I like digging even though it's a waste of time partying or soloing ep is a waste of time but it's the best thing the game has to offer even being a complete waste if you consider just making the 400m and paying for mlvl 1-50 I like bonecraft but it is so close to being a waste of time it's not even funny even with an escutcheon I love pvp no one does it I like pirates chart but it's a waste of time considering mkris drop rate and falling price I like killing vrtra it's never up I usually like chatting in ls but I don't like answering questions or talking about the game I like being silly in chat and talking about my cat salem
mastering all jobs seems like a waste i'll never play them and I don't even want to play to master them
and I could pay 15m and master them
building the useless relics seems 100% pointless even if it's just for ffxiah points it's not worth the gil spent
it's not worth playing to make the gil to get the ffxiah points
I'm at the point now a firmly believe this game is never going to get better
I've been holding on and I can clearly see
this game is never going to get better
and the people that enjoy it the very few of them all have something major wrong with them or they get paid to directly play the game
the most fun part of the game usually ends up being talking about food in ls chat
someone mention eating pork belly and you reply I eat menudo
most memorable ls conversation
I just wc
did you wash your hands
because you better not of washed your hands
I don't know why everyone thinks washing hands is good
then we're all laughing about how this guy doesn't want us to wash our hands after we go to the wc
I'm sorry but how stupid does it have to get to have fun in this game
I see youtube videos and i'm like "How bored does a person have to be to watch that one"
I feel exactly the same about every event in ffxi
I don't even feel wrong by saying ffxi is the most boring game out but it is also the best game out
somehow you pay however much you pay and all you do is stand there or waste time
i've never said it before
but the way they make things so much harder for better gear
is just freaking stupid
stop that eventually
any day now we'll quit building our char and gathering gear
and eventually have fun like we used to
but no it feels like it'll always be a harder foe and more gear to get that literally no one can do unless they run a static or multi box
it upsets me that so many people do segs for gil
and what they get 2.5m tops
freaking give 2.5m for ballista and scale all the 119 moves to be appropriate like 60 cap is for the most part
bring back hnms have pvp drop gil like segs add nms with drops that actually sell
who cares if it's a lvl 15 nm that drops a bis 119 mlvl 50 item
that's what this game needs right now |

Who said you were dangerous?
Who said I wanted to push you aside?
Why do you think I need to be part of some "special group"?
When have I ever shown you respect, or hidden hostility?
I don't think you are beginning to understand anything.
I think you should take some time to try to figure out why every time someone criticizes you, instead of reading their criticism and trying to figure out if any part of it is true you immediately assume they're part of some cabal that is trying to push you down.
I've never met or played with any person who regularly posts on these forums (except Nynja, I guess). If you think there's some kind of conspiracy of people who are suppressing your genius ideas because they're afraid of your brilliant strategies, I haven't been inducted into their ranks (yet!).
Try reading the actual content of these posts instead of launching directly into a conspiracy theory. I think it will do you a lot of good.
Why go to old post ? I just want to build my linkshell like anyone ,, This is proof that you are not talking about information here but about the person himself and there is a big difference between information and people if you want to make a person bad you just have to attack him with some people and people will believe that |

Hmm... I was thinking on something like Shinryu D. Or just another HTBF boss where you have time to SC.
Tonight I was doing Shin D, and was wondering: if I had aspis would it have been faster dropping an offhand for it then chaining SCs endlessly for, or keeping daybreak in. The dilemma atm in this scenario is not taking advantage of DW
Pretty much where I'm at with my three choices. If it's more dmg to chain SCs longer, I might lean more into Aspis; otherwise, I'll either grab Onion Sword for fusion, or Ice Brand as an offhand.

So I've been thinking with diamond aspis. Assuming you have like.. Crocea Mors, is it better to just chain RLB and Ser.B continuously or is better to run Daybreak still and just try for an additional step chain? Or does the loss in DMG from using Aspis over Daybreak not make it worth?
What's the target? How much HP it has, how much fire, earth, and light resistance it has, and many other things will factor into this decision.
I don't think there are likely to be a lot of mobs with lots of HP (to take advantage of the long SCs of aspis) that also take good damage from magical WS and are soloable by a RDM who can face tank it while meleeing with Crocea, but idk I don't ever solo on RDM so maybe you can give some examples.
Also worth considering: DW vs single wield has a lot of trade offs. |

why would you lock magic burst mode, what is a mode?
To add on to gab's otherwise excellent answer:
Modes are logic in your lua that change the behavior of the code. While in one mode certain gear might be equipped for a spell but in a different mode, other gear would be chosen instead.
For example: if you're magic bursting a spell you want to prioritize gear with Magic Burst Damage, but if you're free nuking (not Magic bursting) then MBD doesn't do anything so locus ring is terrible.
You might have engaged modes like high DT vs low DT, depending on the content you're doing. High PDL vs no PDL, etc.
He explained why you might want to toggle MB mode, because you're bursting and may want to pre-cast your Magic burst spell, to get more in to the window.
You might also need/want to toggle it in a different lua if, for example, you had less automation. Many luas REQUIRE the user to handle all toggles between modes. |

The lua detects the skillchains and automatically toggles on the MB mode. Meaning for gearswap to equip the MB set, you'd have to wait for the skillchain to happen to start casting.
If you toggle the MB mode to on, you could cast your spell before the skillchain happens and still nuke with your MB set (maybe making it possible to MB 3 times instead of 2?).
Code if mBurst.value == true then
equip(sets.midcast.MB[nukeModes.current])
else
equip(sets.midcast.nuking[nukeModes.current])
end
At least, that's how I use it as RDM. |

I am not talking about the other guys story. I am talking about where one post the English seems well constructed and the others do not. I think that may be a bit of trolling to just keep you worked up. It seems like you are going back and forth to post on all the threads related to this guy. Seems like he is getting to you as much as you are getting to him.
You can also assume all you like as I don't give two shits what you think about me. I just thought maybe if we can get these crap arguments off the top page then maybe some useful posts that help people will return to the top 10.

I didn't really care for RE8, I felt like it was heavily frontloaded. Once the vampires all die, the story just peters out. That being said, no real reason not to look forward to RE9 if you are a fan of the series.

Quit picking on the guy. Maybe he just wants to make sure people can follow basic instructions. Maybe he wanted to see if people use the correct damage types or understood the hate mechanics and wouldn't pull hate and wipe a group needlessly. Not saying I would go about it that way but everyone is different and language barriers can make it harder to convey sometimes.
I just came back after a long break and these forums are still the same ***people posting how hard everything is and how elite they are. I have news for people this game is not hard anymore in the least. You can use 5 year old gear granted it has to be close to what BIS gear was 5 years ago and do any content. It is all about super buffed and following a few basic instructions now. Avoid an element or a skill chain etc. but nothing that takes a ton of skill.
In the early days you couldn't even scratch your face at the wrong time during an hour long battle or you might miss time a stun or a skill chain and wipe an alliance. Now wear some DT gear, get buffed spam Savage blade about 75% of the time and get healed. Hell just a couple of MACC or ACC could have been the difference between a 10 minute and a 60 minute fight. Now we worry about if it takes 45 seconds or 60 seconds.
Rant over.

Maybe you made a typo or missed a spell while farming them, idk. Just relaying my experience with the issues you're describing. I had a set of spells on one char, saved it, tried to load on other char. Can't have spelled anyting wrong. |

I'm not much of a cheater who uses cheating programs, but if I were then I think I would do it a little bit differently...?
If you're not sure which spell set you have on, why not just equip the set you want? Surely there's no harm in typing //aset spellset bumbaKI2 , right? Other than the few seconds of lag while it equips the spells?
Either you had some other spells set, in which case it puts on the ones you wanted, or you already had that set on, in which case it puts on the ones you wanted.
IDK how long it takes or how debilitated you are while it's doing its thing, but...it really shouldn't be a big deal, right?
Sure seems like it would be faster than trying to manually search through your spells/traits to figure out which set you have on, especially if your sets are very similar to each other.

It's too bad that the Sortie club is way more useful cursed, because Dagda -> Black Halo -> Dagda would be pretty cool. Could exit the chain whenever you want with distortion to gravitation for darkness or distortion to fusion to light, as well.

The addon does not set the spells exactly as they were when you saved them. Not that big a deal because you still have access to the spells and traits you set either way, but it's obnoxious trying to verify which set you're using when the order of the list changes.

Its not setting all the spells because your other char doesnt have all the spells available.

The addon doesn't work for ***anyway, only loads half the spells on my other char when running it. Doesn't even try and do it in the same order either.
I'm not sure if/how it works because obviously I don't use it, but...why would it matter if it loaded them in the same order? The whole point of using an addon to set your spells is so that you don't have to go into the menu to look at your spell sets. If it sets the spells then a human being would never go in there and SEE that the spells are set in a different order, and no human would ever have to interact with the spell menu anyway.
If it's not loading all the spells in the set for some reason that would obviously be a bigger problem. I wonder when/how this happens to you (BLU main, BLU sub, which zone, etc.). I have a few friends who use it and it seems to work fine for them 99% of the time. I've heard reports that it lags your game or possibly doesn't work at all in Ody, I think because of how shitty that zone is to begin with. I've never heard of it only setting a partial spell list though, that's new to me. Might be helpful to gather some testing and report the findings to the author, if you can consistently reproduce the bug. |
