3000$ Bounty
By Upbeat 2023-06-24 18:44:58
most difficult part of challenge
is having your teammates get bought out
and turning from a 3v3 to 1v3 instantly
why I no longer ballista
get good jobs on each team
your team gives up
start doing good, they all just stop
start doing bad, they just give up and leave
get like 1 good ballista game every 15 games
not worth it anymore
ain't no body got time for that

No joke, most pvp in MMORPGs ends up being like this.

I'd rather get a bunch of random friends together for a friendly event with no rules or pressure, than indulge in what is obviously an ego stroke for a bunch of players who do nothing but play with themselves all day and want to show off their massive epeens in this content.
The only way they can find any interest is to pay for it, and even then, nobody is interested because people aren't dumb. They are getting wrecked every single time. It would be like walking up to Fafnir as a level 1 WAR with the "hope" of beating it. Please.

Always had people for Ballista and other fun competitive events.

And I miss you being the only serious melee RDM I've ever seen. I've known many RDMs, but none were as dedicated as you at covering all bases long before Savage Blade spam became a thing.

Agree with most of this stuff, I figured coming off like an *** on this site might motivate some people to try it, but meh, if nobody wants to that's all good.
The person you mention in the first paragraph was a cancer on the already small community and I've rooted him out. You'll notice no more dumbass shouts about ballista on asura anymore.
I appreciate you answering some of the questions in this thread, I don't spend a lot of time on this site. You were actually one of the people I thought might try - Goltana, right?
Some windower hacks/cheats whatever you want to call it are pretty subtle and I'd hope people would just be honorable about it and not use them. The really nasty stuff like Ja0wait, gearswap (ws out of combat), etc are obvious and we'd just stop playing and have that player turn it off. We've played long enough to know what's possible.
As for if you can trust me giving out the money.. well, I don't know how to solve that. But it costs you nothing to try and.. it's pretty fun once you get going.
I'll bump this every once and a while

I had a friend that lived for balista, it's all he did in the game and he dragged the rest of us into it when he could. It's actually kind of fun when you get into it, the problem is it's at set times and stuff so you can't just do it when you want from a queue.

The "serious" games happen in diorama-abjwhatever that you can book for any time/rules that suit you. The set times you remember are for official matches on a repeating schedule
Someone else asked about guides/info, my pretty crude blog has a lot of good info for a learning player, but not much for a completely new one. I'll look into getting that put together

Wasn't there unique cosmetics from Balista?

My old character on Cerberus was Goltana, it’s the Galka now though. I probably wouldn’t have much interest in ballista anyways; i used to be a huge fan of it back in the day, but the game evolved far past ballista and it never was updated. After my first break almost a decade ago, I returned excited to play, only to find everyone exploiting “hyper”, which I felt was super lame. It just never was the same.

a long time ago I strongly felt the same way, that discovery threw the then much larger community into chaos. it took time but it's vastly superior from a strategy standpoint, hyper creates a whole extra dimension of gameplay. I 100% feel where you're coming from though

I’m not trying to be an ***, I’m really not.
But you know the dollar sign goes before the value, right?
$3,000
NOT
3,000$
Lots of scammers post the $ after because their locals currency posts it after. So when I see this being posted as such, I instantly see it as a huge red flag lol.

ah ***you got me. was gonna pay people in reverse dollars!
ty for the correction lol

a bunch of players who do nothing but play with themselves all day
if u think ffxi pvp on asura happens 24/7.. then you're just talking yourself out of a good challenge.
Hey
My name is Tei and I'm a ballista fanatic.
I've led multiple ballista linkshells during my (20yrs+) time playing, and its time for another challenge.
Got 2 friends? Wanna make 3000$USD (1000$USD each) IRL? Can you beat the ultimate ballista players in a lv60 3v3? ..
No? Wanna try anyway?
Send me a message and we can set up a time. Infinite attempts, let us know what you'd like for job setup. Anything is cool with us*.
Looking forward to playing with you :o
Tei
(What the fuck? Here are the rules.....*

https://teishiballista.blogspot.com/p/how-to-hako.html
https://teishiballista.blogspot.com/p/hako-jobs-bans.html
TL/DR: lv60 2 of SAM/DRG/MNK/WAR/RNG/DRK + 1 of WHM/PLD
3000$USD if you win 3/5 games, 300$USD if you win any game
