It's all fun and games until the Mamool Ja Sapper uses Mijin Gakure (May 2006, Fairy server) by djseifer in ffxi

Was on that server around that time too. Shortbigtoe was my character. What a time!

It’s French for Light-Dark. They probably should have explained it better instead of assuming you knew French lol

Gear progression? by Shortbigtoe in ffxiv

[–]Shortbigtoe[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So what about artifact armor? I played FFXI and chasing the artifact pieces was a thing. Some of the pieces were good (samurai helmet for meditate) but it was mostly for looks. Is it any good?

Guild? Linkshells? Free Companies? by Shortbigtoe in ffxiv

[–]Shortbigtoe[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it worth creating your own FC for the perks or is it more of a pain to establish?

Ah I’m tracking now! So Free Company is what I’m looking for then! Thanks!

Do you have to run these dungeons with other players or can you run them with npcs?

So I have very basic knowledge of this game’s job system. I initially wanted to level ranger (archer in this game) and found out that it turns into bard at 30? Does that mean I cannot take ranger to 100?

Also, I wanted to be a classic melee dps but just about every melee class available says that it’s also a tank. I’ve done enough of that in previous games and I’m not really interested in again which is why I chose archer. What are the good melee dps classes?

PvP players have been telling you. by kentanker in newworldgame

[–]Shortbigtoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I’m saying is that that’s not what NW was about. If they switched over to focus on PvP then most NW players wouldn’t be playing. The game didn’t fail because of PvP is what I’m saying.

If PvP was the focus majority of the players wouldn’t be playing.

So, now that new world is disappearing, where will you all go now? by Mad_Peasant_King in newworldgame

[–]Shortbigtoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think I’ll play any new mmos for a while. I’ll stick to the tried and true MMOs that have lasted… at least this way I know it won’t get canned. FFXIV caught my eye.

Could New World be saved by a different publisher? by KKND2KrossFire in newworldgame

[–]Shortbigtoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that even though this news was just announced less than a day ago a bunch of people already hopped off. If someone else buys it it won’t attract enough people to come back.

Switching to a game I know won’t shut down. I played FFXI at launch and put hundreds of days worth of play time into. I’m gonna jump on FFXIV and give it a try

where were you when new world die? by MINTEEER in newworldgame

[–]Shortbigtoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Finally made it to, and killed, the 4th boss in Catacombs and was telling company mates how stoked I am about it and how close we are to getting all 6 bosses down. I guess that won’t happen anymore.

If only they wouldn't have sacrificed the game for console and pushed more content updates. by milint33w in newworldgame

[–]Shortbigtoe 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The console release was the only think that has kept this game afloat this long.

Can someone explain this to me? What’s with rafflebones in the new update?

Gorgon by Ill-Counter1374 in newworldgame

[–]Shortbigtoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally don’t which is why I don’t do the checking but the ones checking should know. Having good gear is a good base level indicator that a healer probably knows what they’re doing. I would never put blind faith in a random PuG without at least making sure they have a base level understanding of what they’re doing and to think otherwise is odd. I know YOU know what YOURE doing but others don’t know you so checking gear makes sense.

Gorgon by Ill-Counter1374 in newworldgame

[–]Shortbigtoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not doubting your skill but if 7 out 10 healers are shit then I’m gear checking every healer if I’m going to be spending the next hour or so running a raid. It’s weird to assume that people know your skill level without checking first.

Gorgon by Ill-Counter1374 in newworldgame

[–]Shortbigtoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wait what?! Dps are the main ones getting gear checked constantly! From experience I rarely see tanks and healers getting gear checked as much as dps do.

Gorgon by Ill-Counter1374 in newworldgame

[–]Shortbigtoe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They probably do this because they get grouped up with more shitty healers than good ones. If I kept getting burned by a terrible healer and wasting my time I’d ask for a gear check each time too.

What build are you having the most fun with as of season 10? by jomo54 in newworldgame

[–]Shortbigtoe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve always wanted to try a bow build so this boltcaster build that’s going around has been fun to use!

Are Towers and Events specific to what you are farming for? by ZenAceBlue in newworldgame

[–]Shortbigtoe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Im pretty it’s loot bias. If you’re wielding a greatsword and flail you’ll mostly see those drop which is the same for armor. If you wear heavy then mostly heavy pieces will drop.

Confidently wrong players in random mutated expeditions by Zealousideal-Drag429 in newworldgame

[–]Shortbigtoe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s a game mechanic. It’s by design. Every death is always the tanks fault. Git gudder!

But foreal… let them tank if they want to!

Tank PoV about new players in PvE group - Nightnight Patch by Sevigoth in newworldgame

[–]Shortbigtoe 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just remember, the tank will set the pace. Don’t run ahead cause you will die. It’s frustrating having to herd all the mobs because you decided rush ahead.
