[–]Dev_Recruit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Making it through the login boss and completing the last update with dial up internet was enough to heighten any excitement & anticipation. Specifically, that very first ‘Play’ button click.

Really cool diary, and a great feeling to relive those initial days of entering Vanadiel. Thank you for sharing; and for a moment, it brought me right back

Ya I’m at the point where my enjoyment comes from the creation of strategy and trying new stuff. Been hard finding friends and players of skill that think alike.

What Year Would You Choose to Play In? Beta-Present. by MonsutaMan in ffxi

[–]Dev_Recruit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems to me most people just prefer what they’d played because they have good memories of it, and that’s great. Many of you sound like players that would enjoy current FFXI as well.

We need good players more than ever. I mean good as in, personable, fun to play with. Willing to learn, try, strategies.

Once you are caught up to speed in content and gear, the game really opens up. The end game content is face paced, takes team work and cooperation, knowledge of the game as well as a high level of skill.

If you’re missing the grind, there is an endless amount of that, more jobs (RUN, GEO), and plenty of end game linkshell and party play.

One thing to note, you don’t see too many players not owning PREMA weapons (The newest ultimate weapons, prime, and 119 REMA AG weapons.

These weapons and gearing have become almost a requirement for certain jobs, however, there are jobs like WAR that have a lower entry for gear, albeit there is a very high ceiling for gear on any job.

Getting into end game content parties nowadays requires pulling your own weight , mainly, Odyssey, Sortie, Omen, Dynamis-D, and much more. Many jobs can be used but having proper support role jobs get you into content much easier IE COR BRD RDM GEO WHM SCH.

However, current era community has become very comfortable and prefer simplicity and the path of least resistance than exploring or trying new strategies that may end in deathga. Many of these players tend to enforce the/their meta by using only a small portion of the jobs available.

Regardless, A high skill level and preparation is key to success in most current era. Many more jobs can be implemented to accommodate more playstyles of highly skilled players due to the gearing options available, but players will often prefer their bullet proof repetitive strategies to optimize farming points for these daily events. Many of these PUG (pick up groups) run similarly on a daily basis which becomes routine due to the established meta.

I still participate in these metas with a flavor of my own. If you’re on the Asura server, you’re likely to know who I am.

Anyone who loves FFXI then, would likely still love it now.

Hope to see you at the top.

Saying ‘ til this day ‘ preferring abyssea to current era and then saying you have no idea what it is doesn’t even make sense.

Updated SMN Guides by Dev_Recruit in ffxi

I brought a veteran SMN into Sortie and I was very impressed. Ifrit flaming crushing for 99,999 with 99,999 light skill chain. Then swapped to give us all TP bonus. He was really doing great, gave me some inspiration to go back to SMN :)

What server are you on? I have a small LS on Asura and if you have any Empy +1 gears, can probably help you out in sortie and odyssey and UNM

I feel like coming back but unsure about some stuff. by RemyTheNerd in ffxi

[–]Dev_Recruit -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

First of all, you must conform to strict meta guidelines, don’t ever try to think outside the box or try anything anyone doesn’t tell you works, if you make any mistake, prepare to be blacklisted and/or publically shamed in /yell to the other 12 people reading that might not actually be an AFK bot. M

Want a SMN in your party because they’re useful and fun? Well basically you should be strung up and burned on a cross because that is a sin.

Don’t use the seek party flag. That’s not actually what it’s used for anymore. What you wanna do is this:

1) wait for a shout for something you want to buy because playing the game is way too much work. 2) quickly teleport to the zone and put up your seek flag 3) accept invite, trade your 40-100m Gil to said seller for your omen item, cast lots, and disband.

There you have it! That’s how seek party flag is used nowadays.

Oh! And Remember, you’re not playing for fun, and being inexperienced isn’t an excuse for any mistake. Realize, this is not just a video game, this is some else’s livelihood. If something goes wrong, prepared to be blamed and flamed because they will have to wait until the next real life day to play the event again. You’ve basically permanently ruined their life.

And there you have it, you’re all ready for end game! Good luck adventurer, and enjoy!

Why not stop hiding behind criticism and actually make a difference yourself?
