I just don't see that being able to be done without completely changing the game back to 18 people onry again (unless you make it a 6 person BC... which again, would be sorta stupid.). Which with what SE's been trying to do with abyssea... just doesn't seem like it'd happen. Never know, though. I don't play many MMO's anyway :X just xi! And maybe not even it anymore.

That would work to. Just anything other then oh boy i got logs. or oh hey i got this PLD item .... I dont have PLD leveled.
but you get the just of what im saying. Just like SE when they sit down to develop this stuff. Say to each other. Who has an idea on how we can do this to piss everyone off and make it seem totaly HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE. Great lets do that .

well, I can understand voidwatch boxes because it makes it so everyone has an even chance at getting something, but the way it was done was completely, for lack of a better word, HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE.

edit:

ehh... i'm going back to skyrim unless I can find one of those adventurer free pass thinger-mabobs to make a new char to kill some time...

D: this arguement's pointless :X

whatever SE does they prolly goan royally *** up anyway,

Overall I think SE is heading in the right direction with all this. Reminiscing about the past might be fun and all, but I'd bet that the majority of the people who used to do all that stuff actually have a good share responsibility in their lives now. College, work, family etc. I think the amount of free time available most of us had has been cut severely, and SE realizes that. Many linkshell schedules were ridiculous; it was like an actual job. Five/six days a week, many of which were required, is the reason I never really cared about endgame material.

Things like reducing spawn timers, and making a lot of content less time consuming is the best thing they have done IMO.

That is a great thing but once again. the Voidwatch reward system has made Voidwatch more time consuming.

We didn't have those already? lol did you ever get woken up at 3am by your ls leader to get to a location cause OMG SANDWORM or KB popped? Still happened still is happening this thing called "life". SE was also the monster that made AV harder and harder every time we killed it with a new concept. Made PW so hard a group of JP's literally spent 12+hours on it still wiped and gave up. lol that made me lol... it was in national news. They also implemented PW and never actually had it done... some group popped it and got a gob that was killed instantly in 1 hit. I forgot the name of said goblin. Was like test something or another, but I digress it didn't drop anything. Then sent spams of hate messages at gms who said sorry don't care can't help.

Also it makes it more time consuming when you have more people doing these things. I would have hated if KB was easier in the day so that every fail person walking up seeing a group of people in that area rush as well and some how claim and now wipe and spend 10 hours zombing it to hold claim wasting the time of those who had the means to kill it.

Of course we all had our own lives, but I'd wager that most of the people who participated in those were kids, or in high school, and had much more free time on their hands than they do now.

I still want a large scale NM that has 2 or 3 attack points all seperate from eahc other.

example: take 18 people into shinryu 2.0 and have 6 people attack his left wing,6 people attack his right wing and 6 on his body.They all have individual hp,tp moves,maybe he loses access to certain things once a certain/both wings are down before they re-revive after a certain amount of time or something.

Community Derp



Adventurers! Fear no longer! After considering your feedback, the development team have come to the agreement that the community at large expects four things from their adventures in Vana'diel:

1) Rare mobs and scarce items that justify the crushing fact that they spent several years camping the same mob
2) A monopoly on said drops that lead to a falsified sense of superiority over other players
3) A sense of inane competition between linkshells in order to forge fierce rivalries over strong friendships
4) A large dose of drama and trash talking, since Call of Duty multiplayer isn't the only place this kind of thing belongs

In reponse to this feedback, we are happy to announce the introduction of a brand new server - Fafhogg!

The rules of this server will be slightly different to other servers, but here is a taste of what's to come!

  • All NMs, including those in Abyssea, will become Timed Spawn and have their spawn timers increased.

    *Empyrean Weapon mobs will be given a 48-72 hour respawn timer. Seal and KI mobs will be given a 21-24 hour respawn timer.
    *You can totally dust off those bots now and be on call 24/7 again, guys!

  • In accordance with this change, Empyean weapon/armour upgrade items will no longer be an 100% drop rate.

    *Empyrean gear and weapons should only be for the elite and completely dedicated, after all!

  • A new chat feature, /troll, will be added. This feature will allow inter-linkshell drama to be broadcast from any zone directly into Jeuno.

    *Because everyone cares so much about how that linkshell you don't like wiped to Tiamat, they really do!

  • All gear obtained from mobs on this server will be labelled with the "Bling" tag. Underneath each item will be a detailed statistical analysis of how the item was obtained. Statistics shown will include the number of players MPKed to get claim, Linkshells that wiped to the NM previously, and the name of the LS officer you sucked up to in order to get lotting rights!

    *You know, because you want to be a special snowflake!



These changes will be implemented onto the test server sometime next week, so please look forward to it!



There, I just fixed the game for you - you can send me my cheque in the mail.

All jokes aside... I remember playing games for NES hundreds of times and never getting bored with the replay of it. Then one day Galoob comes out with Game Genie. I can now have everything handed to me on level 1 with no effort involved. There were games that literally became no interest to me again. i saw the sights, got the items, did whatever I always wanted to and had no reason to play it ever again.

I'm not saying this means I want some tyranical dictator leader back. I love how in all these ffxiah threads its night or day. YOU HATE OBAMA OR YOU'RE COMMUNIST!!!!. YOU WANT EVERYTHING HANDED TO YOU IN TWENTY SECONDS OR YOU'RE AN ELITEST. Some of us just want a small challenge and a little friendly competition.
I love my caladbolg but I tell you... it'll never have the sentimental value my vfork does. I still have that canopener in my moghouse on a mannequin. Xknife? Still got. Joyeuse? Mannequin. The time i spent in linkshells scrapping and scavenging to get things done was just as important to me as the items i received. Sure I might meet a new face in VW or Abyssea but it's a 3 minute conversation that makes me go " i think i remember this clown" when i see them a month later. Anye was in my first ls ever. I can still remember her mom and sister. I knew stuff about people in that shell they wouldn't put in a diary. The leader asked me to have thanksgiving with him and his wife this time like.... 5 years ago lol.

It's all well and good to pretend that anyone who doesn't like everything handed to them wishes they could go back to uber-drama island. I could just as easily tell you to go play WoW with the other 6 year olds. I say that we stop judging this story in such stark absolutes and realise that the best solution is a compromise. Some of us value the difficulty in obtaining a hard to get item, or working harder to make our gear a statement of that dedication. You get those threads where 2 idiots feel the need to justify "this guy can wear full aurore because it's his 13$ a month" but then a week later they're the ones saying "you're an idiot for spending your time farming a spelunkers hat (random example)." I enjoyed the 300 /examines I got a day when I finished Ares's. I remember 5 months later saying to my roomate "they let anyone have them now hahaha". it's what still keeps me here :/

Make the conditions of having such gear being a feat of skill or competitive prowess and we're talking!

Basing it around throwing bodies at things/throwing bots at things/winning a random number generator is dumb.
