Return Home editionReturn Home to Vana'diel CampaignFriday, December 19, 2025, at 12:00 a.m. (PST) to Monday, January 5, 2026, at 12:00 a.mFor discussions related to FFXI. Do not post about private server drama because no one cares. Also, no one cares about private server vs. retail - play what you like. Keep your delusions in a journal. Yes, this includes you schizos posting about random names in a FFXI thread and staff trying to damage control under the guise of anon.Retailhttp://www.playonline.com/ff11us/index.shtmlPrivate serversCactuarhttps://www.cactuarxi.com/Catseyehttps://catseyexi.com/Edenhttps://edenxi.comEventidehttps://www.eventidexi.org/HorizonXIhttps://horizonxi.com/Phoenixhttps://phoenix-xi.online/homeZenithXIhttps://www.zenithxi.com/Resourceshttps://flippantry.com/skillchain/http://www.ffxicalculator.com/http://www.pyogenes.com/ffxi/timer/v2.htmlhttps://ffxiclopedia.fandom.com/wiki/Main_Pagehttps://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Main_Pagehttps://classicffxi.fandom.com/wiki/Classic_FFXI_communityhttp://campsitarus.blogspot.com/Old thread: >>2101251
>>2121481I've seen people post Odin or Bahamut, not sure how to find fellow anons though.
>>2121496is the return home campaign only for existing players or can I make a new account for free??
third for not having anything in common IRL with your partymates these days besides the fact you share the same planet
So we're on how many threads now with the wrong Phoenix link? OP is an idiot?https://phoenix-xi.com/home
>>2121536Apologies, I copy/paste from the old threads. I tried a retail only one before but it was taken over by pservers schizos.
>>2121547I do wonder when you’re going to realize that nobody in these threads wants to play on retail
>>2121496what the fuck is that? FF14 prishe?
>>2121511They normally have the entire seeker's edition on sale for $5 or $10 whenever they have one of these and it comes with a month of sub free.
>>2121503post on /vm/ or /v/ and hope anons join
>Mission Windurst 2-1 on retail>Sends you into a random tunnel with level 80+ enemieswtf?
>>2122318The bats and beetles don’t aggro, but the skeletons do. If you are at the skeletons, you are going the wrong way anyway.
>>2122318SE is a bunch of retards and replaced a lot of early game areas 10 years ago with endgame enemies so that endgamers could farm for CP in more locations than just endgame areas, but now that everyone's gone (or just farming Ranperre's lmao) the level 90 mobs are no longer necessary and just serve as an annoying roadblock for noobs. That, or it's a diegetic way of teaching noobs about invisible and sneak, who knows, maybe SE were geniuses all along
>>2122325Goblin Flesher was literally in my face the second I rounded the corner
>>2122338They added the level 80~90 mobs for Fields/Grounds of Valor camp options.>>2122345I’ll have to go try it again when I get a chance to log in. I remember taking naked characters through there multiple times.
>>2122318welcome to vana'diel
>>2121536It’s cause OP is a fag horizon cock sucker scared of competition. He isn’t copy pasting, it’s a different link than last time.
>>2122566Always somethin with this community. OP is likely a shill either for aerec's server or a simp for someone who is a shill on aerec's server.
>>2122548shut up please and leave, ffxi always had wonderfully structured areas that had clear level ranges. If you encountered a higher level monster, usually NMs, chances are it was aggressive and you messed up. The new monsters not being aggressive despite being very high level is retarded and teaches new players bad habits.>>2122387Nothing to do with GOV, it's the level cap raise. SE went full retard with abyssea and level cap and wanted to give people an option to level if they didn't buy abyssea, but in reality those people just quit because there was nothing to do with the increased level cap outside abyssea and it was far better to afk level in abyssea.
I want a level cap 90 abyssea server. specifically cap 90, with full magian trials weapons and armor upgrades to 90, walk of echoes, the complete WoTG mission set including the lilisette earring(and maybe even cait sith/atomos fights) visions, scars, and heroes of abyssea content complete, voidwatch(maybe with all of the rewards/pulse armor/weapons scaled down to 90), voidwalker nm, and empyrean weapons to 90Why?Because it would be fun. This was peak ffxi.
>>2121676I want to play on retail
>>2123531are you me?
Sometimes I Say IDKAnd Be Knowing
i quit my current MMO and im going play xi, not sure if i should wait for the free login campaign (i have played before briefly) or just get in it now
>>2127125Better to wait it's not even a week away.
Join Odin
>>2127650I played on Odin since 2010, it's full of very good nips, but 3/4 of the server bots. It's a good server IF you speak Japanese.
>>2127659>3/4 of the server botsthat's every retail server
>>2127709You better learn the glorious nipponese if you want to play there, the NA parties are ass.
This is going to be dead content in a week.https://youtu.be/gwF5GEGS7SA?si=obksGji1iyukkUFG>requires coordination across multiple endgame geared groups
>>2128107Retail as a whole is literally dead content in a dead game farmed by the same dozen people running 6-18 accounts so, same shit as always
>>2128107ermergerd more recycled contentI'd rather play retail wow at this point, and retail wow is about as exciting as unsalted saltines.
I'm still running story missions for the first time but I love retail
>>2128339retarded pserver schizo
>>2129749that's the best part. if you can find a group of cool friends who want to drag you through some endgame content you'll have a good time.
>>2127125try out retail first and see if you like it. We just recently made a group on a private server called Horizonxi if you want to join up after you try out retail
>>2127125Try out Phoenix server. It's fresh with everyone on the same playing field. You won't have to worry about corrupt staff members and high school drama.
>>2127125> The succubus will bleed you dry for clout> The dev simp will pretend to help you so they can groom you into r*pe later down the line.Mention you're a girl when if you join Aerec's server.
Here’s the first Ultima bloodbath. Starts 2 hours and 5 minutes in. https://youtube.com/live/tnScpSPPGb0?si=7gL7ITq1XDsl5clD
>>2123271bro followed a guide and was escorted everywhere. guaranteed. you never explored a day in your life. sad.
>>2130232The staff who shitpost here and havent released? No thanks.
>>2130457Ah, someone is on the pre-ban list. Yet another reason Phoenix is going to be good. The faggots are already shitcanned ahead of time.
>>2130523Shut the fuck up Winter.
>>2130531Shut the fuck up Pie
>>2130232Oh boy let me make a new character for the 31st time and do level cap CoP with a whole new set of queefs. Oh boy look it's another server that serves as a magnet to attract the kind of no life faggots who can put 300 hours a month into getting 75 ASAP and camping HNMs nonstop. Where do I fucking sign up
>>2130910Nigga why do you care??
>>2130910Still better than treating XI like retail WoW where you raid log for Dynamis, Limbus, and maybe some ENMs.
>>2131041Yeah this is a blight and cancer on MMORPGs. Waiting for someone to come up with a queerscore equivalent addon for FFXI, that would about top it all.
>>2130910>the thing 90% of the private server community wants
>>2130910It's interesting people focus so hard on HNMs for 75 cap era FFXI when its like 10% of the total endgame content when WotG exists. You know you don't have to camp HNMs right?
>>2131300Yeah you can also compete for dynamis instances with people farming currency on alts wasting hours of your time, have your sky pops stolen from under you, and not get invited to Salvage unless you have MNK
>>2131346Sure, I can list all the shitty situations like this for every video game out there. What's your point? You want a video game that caters to you so you have no way to fail, carebear?
>>21313461. Phoenix will have account wide dyna lockouts2. Skill issue desu3. level MNK or find a group that doesn't require it, the same as any other content in this game.
>>2131369>1. Phoenix will have account wide dyna lockoutsexcept for the staff
>>2131369Why doesn’t horizon have account wide dyna lockouts anyway?
>>2131375Because Aerec refused to do it because he didn’t want people to be mad at him
>>2131386What are they gonna do? Play on catseye or retail?
>>2131369>1. Phoenix will have account wide dyna lockoutsbased if true
>>2131402It’s true, it’s on their website OP refuses to link to - https://phoenix-xi.com/aboutThey will also have digging limits to avoid that degeneracy
>Account wide dyna lockoutsand this is enforceable how?
>>2131409Through code? You can look at their repo
>>2131413And what stops them from adding some backdoor that allows them and their friends to circumvent it?
>>2131407nice, that's a solid change.
>>2131418Honestly even if they do that. Why would anyone care. Genuinely how does it affect you?
>>2131422>But how does this effect you personally?
>>2131425Yes actually how does it?
>>2131433It fucks up the economy for starters
>>2131409You're only allowed 1 account, and only 2 characters to that account. Just like the last several classic servers, if you're found to have multiple accounts, you'll get banned.>>2131418"What if a car comes flying through my house and kills me right now?" You just assume/trust that's not gonna happen and continue on with your day. Even if it does, there's nothing you could do about it anywaysAccording to Shuu (#1 enemy of Aerec currently), he wants "all GM actions to be logged and public to hold staff accountable".
>>2131436Gonna post any actual problems?
>>2131437>hold staff accountablelollmao even
>>2131436>less currency and not having 800 relics like horizon fucks up the economy Oh, ok
>>2131437Based. Fuck Aerec.
>>2131437>he wants "all GM actions to be logged and public to hold staff accountable".i see they learned their lesson from horizon
>>2131486Wonder why all the former active horizon admins quit and made a new server together and the entire thing is open source and focusing on transparency. Really makes you think…
>>2131371Why play any video game that has a staff when they can just cheat? What makes you think professional game devs aren't cheating in their own game? Who fucking cares?>>2131508It's okay, you can say the quiet part out loud. Aerec is a pain in the ass to work with, and they hate dealing with his era+ idiotic bullshit. He does nothing but dictate what other people should do while doing zero of the work to run the server himself.
>>2131508Didn't they remove the head GM at one point before reinstating them?
>>2130270https://youtu.be/WeDiI974DrM?si=yyUR8AYVV0-GDfoj
I actually really like a lot of the era+ changes in horizon albeit I also hate a few of them (like rdm changes on refresh and fast cast) but I’m afraid they will never deliver wotg. If horizon devs do browse here whats the eta on toau? Do you think you’ll ever deliver wotg? Jobs at least? Dont really care for campaign or missions
>>2131707The era+ stuff you like is the end result of months of the entire staff fighting against Aerec, getting him to calm down on his stupid ideas until they're reasonable. Don't forget to include Aerec talking to the staff like they're idiots throughout the entire process.
>>2131761Horizon almost launched with way worse changes. Think hagun nerfs multiplied by 10. Other people basically had to intervene to stop Aerec
>>2131707I don't really get all the weaponskill property changes, were they really necessary?
>>2131437All dev DMs should be logged as well.
>>2131041Some of those people who log for dynamis dont even get paid for it. LMFAO
>>2131418> Buff my relic for feet pics.What stops Aerec's server staff from doing all the backdoor underhanded corruption they've been doing for the past 3 years. Oh right nothing at all. Nigga is pretending Aerec's server is full of saints.
>>2131813You know they won't do that.
>>2131778Should have deployed the Hagun Esluts. Would have gotten Hagun buffed instead of nerfed.
>>2131835LMFAO
>>2131813>This just in>Phoenix private email server with 200GB worth of emails just leaked>More at 11
>>2131877>Check out THIS Hagun [Censored]
>>2131707name ONE unquestionably good change
>>2131914WAR starts with an axe
>>2131914you get your first weaponskill at 5 instead of 10
>>2131917>Go hit a rabbit at level 1>Get fucked by the dice roll and miss 5 times in a row>Die
>>2131924First time?
>>2131924that's my ffxi I know and love
>>2131923*Mandau
Making fun of retail in defense of camping HNMs in 2025 is fucking hilarious to me, unbelievably pathetic shit. Post another ace's helm drop in the discord you absurd faggots
>>2131936Uh oh retail melty. Sorry your version of FFXI sucks.
>>2131951all versions of ffxi sucks
>>2131951lol little toddler baby response. Lotta time to shitpost in between windows, huh?
>>2131914The eco warrior change, specifically how it CURRENTLY worksThe way level sync worksThe summoner changesThe new equipment from hemn or whatever its called and that new feature itselfPaladin enlight giving enmityDark knight getting desperate blowsPretty much all the af weapon changesThe new way to get yingyang robe or whateverNew starting weapons for basically all jobsWar changesNinja changes, though I think it should be tweaked to make /war sub equally as powerful as /rdm subHow getting mog wardrobe worksHAAPA few others that I can’t think of the top of my head.Some of the new custom gear is cool too like the shepherd setHighwindFirst single box server as far as I am concerned3 character limit>bad changesEverything they did to red mage, except maybe the haste recast, the new summoner stuff was more than enough to make red mage have actual competition.All the bst changes.The shitty tie your discord username to your character shit, I get why they did this but its way to invasive.Whm not getting afflatus from the start and brd not getting pianissimo, there was no reason for thisNot nerfing ep expNo pop hnmsHow fucking long its taking them to release toauNo moderation on the dynamis situation whatsoever and allowing people weekly currency farm per characterHow fishing pool works making it near impossible to get highly competitive fish consistently.Silver shark npc nerfId say the good stuff outweighs the bad personally but the bad stuff is pretty bad. Particularly the rdm nerf and everything related to fishing.
>>2131914DRK desperate blowsDrk absorb changes
>>2131970I just made a burner discord account. It's still fucking gay as shit that you have to do that though
>>2131970>brd not getting pianissimogenuinely baffling
>>2132006Aerec stopped it from happening
>>2131917At release that axe had the same stats as Mandau so they botched that one a bit.
>>2132150I don’t think anyone but an idiot would continuously keep bringing that up like it was some sort of flaw instead of just laughing it off
>>2132192Yeah, it wasn't a huge deal, that's why they only botched it a bit. There's a lot of lessons that can be learned from the Horizon release though. Increasing the drop rate for some items like Quadav Fetich parts and Orcish Mail Scales would go a long way if they're expecting a decent population at launch. Those 2 missions caused a bottleneck until hotfixes came out.
>>2131970whm club relic buffed with no explanation
>>2132030Era minus desu
>>2131970These aren't unquestionably good changes. Some of them bias and shill-fueled. "As far as I am concerned". Uneducated list and hardly included 1/3rd of bad changes. Put the keyboard down retard. Did a woman type this?
>>2132247Can you type in anything other than buzzwords and actually make an argument?
holy based
>>2132609>replying to a banned goyIck. Thought they had a prebanned list?
>>2132626List only includes women who will expose Kipling (again). Don't worry the botters are safe.
>>2132609Phoenix staff are incredibly based
phoenix is like vanilla extract. smells good on paper but will taste like a spoon of shit when you remember its no good plain
Yeah man, everyone actually HATED playing retail back in 2007
>>2132726The game as it was is the entire reason classic servers exist. Are you retarded?
>>2132318No cunt get with the times and do better sis
>>2132626They do and the clout goblins are not allowed in.
>>2132633That's funny because Aerec's server still ha people worse than him. Decaying the integrity of the server more than their relationship with their wife.
>>2132872Good think they left Aerec's server to move to a new one.
>>2132916Did you get banned on Horizon?
>>2132934I play retail so no idea if I'm banned on any pserver.
>>2132936But you're invested in pserver gossip? ok sis
>>2132979Just as much as you are posting about it sis!
>>2133403If you’re not invested in pserver gossip then please just shut the fuck up already about it instead of fueling the fire spicy
>>2133409Maybe you should drop it.
>>2132609Lol Critical with the throat punch to Aerec
>>2132831Everyone loved it! and then they loved the sequel! and now that we're on our 38th new 75 cap private server the novelty's fucking wearing off man.
>>2133619Speak for yourself faggot. I’d rather have era than some retard who doesn’t know shit about fuck farting out balance ideas cause they sound cool
>>2133619people have been asking for an authentic era fresh server for at least 2 years since horizon ended up being a melting pot of mostly terrible ideas and eden never stepped up to the plate
>>2133619Yeah, because all of those other 75 cap servers were content complete...oh wait. No private server has ever had even 50% of the content available while it had a healthy player base.
>>2133642Eden should just come up with a single box only server, it would solve 100.00% of the problems everyone else is having.
>>2133680They have said they won't multiple times. They have no interest in doing anything but keeping Eden alive. So there's no point. They won't share their code either. That's why Phoenix has to fill the gap.
>>2133680>no wotgI don’t care for eden and neither will the majority of people. Self proclaimed Purists aren’t people anyway
>>2133718only place you're getting WoTG is catseye and it's not even WoTG, it's SCH and DNC with some 99 era abilities shoved in there.
>>2133708I know they did. Carver doesn't want to shit on everyone's progress by releasing a new one. I'm sure he also doesn't want another 3000 pop server where he needs to organize shifts of GMs because 200-300 pop is nice and easy to manage. Most of the people playing are oldfags and the high pop servers are magnets for the antisocial trash the ffxi pserver scene attracts.
>>2133638Just wait til you find out where the balance idiot moved.
>>2133849To a place with like 3 custom balance changes? Huh makes you wonder if maybe he wasn't the one implementing all the retarded shit on Horizon then
>>2133892Balance guy not implementing the retarded shit? Easy excuse to scapegoat someone else. Shame it's not true.
is Loxley still with CEXI or is he also involved with ZenithXI?
>>2133921Shills haven't figured out the narrative yet so who knows.
>>2133921Loxley is LanceXI hiding under a new anonymous account. Zetta (his original name on Eden) became Loxley to hide and try to join Horizon/Catseye. Now he is doing it again as "LanceXI" for ZenithXI. You can tell because both type the same way and using english spellings.
>>2133914"Balance guy" you mean the project manager? I can tell you've never had a job or really paid attention to Horizon if you don't understand how these things work. No one cares that you got banned for fish botting or whatever faggot, keep it to yourself
>>2133960Explains why the project was so poorly managed thanks for the clarity sis.
>>2133957That's kinda cool if true, Loxley's supposed to be taking a little break from designing content for CEXI, so if this is in fact true I'm very interested in playing on his server. Loxley is -the- only good thing about CEXI, and his content is actually fun to play. He knows what he's doing.
>>2133987Loxley is also responsible for some of the huge exploit gil bugs on CE - which he probably put in on purpose to abuse before Carver found out - so sounds promising for Zenith!
>>2133957Will Zenith have an ironman mode on launch? Really want to try it.
I would still multibox. Having the hardware and automation for it, don't really need to play the game anymore.
>>2134059for what purpose?
>>2133997So what? He's one volunteer developer with a handful of others helping him and they did the entire crafting/ironman game mode, the box storage system, the allied incursion content and weapons upgrades, the manaburn exp camps, and probably a bunch of Ventures content too.If CEXI wasn't a bloated corpse of a server to begin with it would be one of the better ones.
>>2131596Yep.
>>2134079So that excuses his corruption and cheating? Nice standards!
>>2134154Yeah I'm sure everyone who puts out buggy code is corrupt and cheating, nice logic.
>>2134161Don't worry anon, they shill for Phoenix who is ran by a corrupt, cheating staff.
>>2134161And yet you guys froth at the mouth over stupid shit like gil bat? Nice standards!
>>2134176Uh oh melty!
>>2134162>Phoenix out of nowherego work on the rebase Aerec
>>2134195Keep projecting sis.
>>2134162who cheated, again?
>>2134209The dude trying to sext women while his wife gave birth. It's been posted 1000s of times ITT because nobody shuts the fuck up about the pserver staff drama.
>>2134217>moralfagging about shit irrelevant to the video gamewoman hands posted this, but also no one cares
>>2134217oh, so cheating nobody gives af about. got it
Shut the fuck up Phil.
>>2134176Tell your mommy to change your diaper, Gary, jfc
>>2134195aerec will never work on anything
>>2134246She does it every day on these ffxi threads anon
>>2133849Isn't Aerec in charge of everything that happens on Aerec's server?
>>2134469Yes. The balance team doesn't matter to him at all. He just vetoes anything they do and dismisses their work for anything with zero feedback. Basically the same behavior you see on the public discord.
>>2134209Hugin on his wife several times>>2134209Woman hands typed this as well anon. They get upset when their egotrip is disrupted with drama that doesn't involve them. Aerec's server is their home and must not be jeopardized.>>2134176More moral highground garbage. Inb4 melty from med overdose. Sis needs to do better
>still having gil bat melties in 2025 when you can literally see it was just an ID shift bug that was fixedthanks for shitting up KRT with level 90+ mobs SE
>>2134469>people think Aerec was ANY better than Gweivyth. no
>>2134601well, Aerec isn't trans?
>>2134491Better camps exist.
>>2134486This post SMELLS SO BAD of some faggot that got mad that their retarded idea of every race having the same hp got vetoed or some similarly retarded balance change like that.
>>2135210Anyone who reads the horizon discord understands that Aerec makes all decisions for the server which is also why everyone should works hard for horizon has quit
>>2135210Horizon is just Nasomi 2.0 except Nasomi's willing to let people help him code this time, and somehow everyone hasn't quit.
>>2135210No, i think you misunderstandsomeone will do a writeup to rework stuff (think useless hard to get armor, useless food, weapons) that has a google docs sheet with dozens of individual items and the entire thing gets golden X'd after Aerec doesn't like one portion of it.Instead of talking to the writer about it, it's permanently vetoed. Any amount of time or effort you put in is wasted instantly and forever. He does this to everyone, because only his time, opinion and effort matter to him. He is the ultimate useless project owner
>>2135456So you’re mad that you put a certain amount of work to something you didn’t even know would get approved? Not only that but its probably some retarded idea like eliminate racial stat differences or make female fomors?
>>2135760How's your rebase going faggot?
>>2135769>immediately deflects>delusions an anonymous person into his most hated enemy>literally no argument in the endImagine just how much better these threads would be if you disappeared
>>2136073Im going to keep posting and call out your faggotry. shit and piss about it
>>2136075You can’t call out anything without an argument
>>2136167uh oh melty!
Aerec's so scared
>>2122318>shitaillolyou fucked yourself from the beginning
>>2123271Holy BASED retail destroyer
>>2130523well is it released? that's kinda what matters...
>>2131300That's fine with me, those fags make farming gil for nonendgame slop more accessible
Aerec killed all hope for horizon. Never trust a man that looks like he got nicked by down syndrome.
>>2131970Everything was either bad or a whole lotta nothing. >ecowarcancer killing low level partying, the sovl of XI>level syncdidn't other servers do similar stuff? nothing new>all the broken summoner cancer in this server>goodkill yourself>enlightzzz>weapon changes?>new starting weaponskinda shit desu, sword is the best for newbs, or rather for the 3 jobs that can use them until level 10/15 and doesn't fall off until 20~25>nin changesIt was still just blank spam, but now nerfed+ to everyone's enshittification, only 1% got benefit of the spell dmgThe only good things afaia is literally just desperate blows and the wardrobe. The extra armor was all kinda pointless. Never remember anyone caring for it besides glamorslop(cancer).Horizon is only Summoner+, and everything else-
>>2136517No one cares about your blog
I remember trying to have more than one ffxi install was cancer. Can I now install the retail client so I can run my own lsb server work with horizon catseye eventide installed ? or will it probably fuck up one of those installs
>>2136622Ashita can do sandboxing iirc, not sure if windower canI know for a fact Catseye's launcher already comes sandboxed so at least that server won't fuck up your retail install
>>2136622you should be able to. Back when it was Eden, Nasomi, and Wings it was a pita but now each server has their own regs and you can log into horizon and catseye and i think even retail at the same time if you want.
>>2136662>>2136665Great, now to remember what the fuck my square enix password was again and which email it was. Oh look return campaign in 2 days holy moly*probably never logs into retail*
This is kind of weird and off topic, but does anyone remember the OG playonline login sequence for windows? The one that shipped with the FFXI+ zilart for windows disc? It made a sound like WOOO oouu WOOO ou uu WOOOthen the sequence music would start. When did they get rid of that? also, why did they get rid of that? Maybe i should grab an OG FFXI + RoTZ install disc and run it.
>>2136698>WOOO oouu WOOO ou uu WOOOkek yeah I remember that shit
>>2136698wasn't that ps2 only? or I guess I just memoryholed it and it got removed from PC but never for ps2? the niggerman in jubilous agreement right?
>try that mithrandir game someone shilled from itch>it's only shartstok and zeruhn mines>not even fucking gustaberg to hear the kino (I can tell because it plays in the fucking president suite)>character portraits look like generic AI>all the stats, attributes, gear etc. i.e. the formula changed>even DEX is LUK now>plays like some donut steel epic storyline with donut steel stats instead of just being a 1-1 besides being 2d/turn-basedNEVER post that shit at me again
>>2136709Nah, it was on PC first. By the time I came back in ToAU it was gone though.
God why did the ffxi private server scene go to such trash with so many trash people?
>>2136858I don't know bro. It's so bad I'd rather just play on my own personal private server for now.
>use 5000 exp scroll on my level 1 bard>I only go up to level 2>turns out a single source of exp can't level you up more than once>wasted 3000 expGOD FUCKING DAMMIT
>>2136997that's like lv1-10 lol, or a level @20 i think, yeah its dumb but these newb posts on it are worth it xddd
Trying to set up a personal LSB here, my bgame version is apparently 1 (pount?) above what's expected (according to connection server log, I'm xxxxx12xx_x and out wants 11xx_x). What's the problem? Is the LSB server stuff outdated? I will say this is a retail install from... 2019? but i figured if pol ffxi file checker+repair went through, itd be fine.Any tips? Or is my only option really just run the game installer again and do the file deletion into file check+repair again?
>>2136751i was gonna try it soon, guess i'll skip it. thanks for this post.
>>2136858if I had to guess the mentally ill people got banned from retail (many such cases) and then they continued to stay mentally ill
>>2137016>but i figured if pol ffxi file checker+repair went through, itd be fine.it has to repair and actually download, desuif it does not that is your problem
>>2137332Pretty sure it did. The game did launch. I got stuck after making a character and perma black screened trying to "downloading data..." to get into the world proper
>>2137330this game has always been a circus for trannies and other weirdos. the teenage dating scene was wild. These people grew up to be very poorly adjusted individuals.
>>2137452It's really strange that you hyper-focus on trans people so much. Is obsessing over other people's lives your entire personality?
>>2137448running it locally hosted?hard to say without your logs desu
>>2137965Yeah. In-game I get "no response from the server", which I suppose could be a number of reasons.

Thinking about picking up ultimate collection seekers edition for the sale, is the discount only on Steam? Do I have to buy the base game and/or sub time in addition to the pack? What server has a decent enough population with less RMT bots?
>>2138246Should be able to grab it directly from SE. I didn't even know it was on Steam. Should only need to buy the $10 pack, it'll come with all expansions and base, and a code for 30 days of sub time iirc
>>2138255I'm looking here right now https://na.store.square-enix-games.com/video-games/franchise/final-fantasy?_bc_fsnf=1&brand=305Only Seekers of Adoulin standalone is 10 bucks, the Collectors edition is 30 right now. I guess I'll wait to see if it updates later, if not I'll pick it up on steam
>>2138284It's the ultimate edition that's always gone on sale for $10 once or twice a year, idr the seasonality of it though, but it's usually paired with the login campaign, which is about to start tomorrow. Maybe someone else can chime in.
>>2138047It doesnt look like your map server finished loading based on the logswait for this[map][info] The map-server is ready to work...

Was looking forward to buying it but its not on sale yet, neither on the SE store or on steam (i know the steam version sucks)
>>2138311holy fug ids tiem :--D
>>2138299Oh it takes more than a few seconds? Guess I'll leave it until that comes through. Quickstart guide should include what to wait for on each .exe. Hope that's just it, really wanna have the world all to myself... appreciate it.
>>2138180Wheres that? With the gpbbie dial box goblin? I haven't played since 2018
>>2138311They said 19 at midnight pst why is it up already wtf
>>2138363Talk to Greyson by the Lower Jeuno exit. After that, you’ll get a new set of RoE objectives in Content for AMAN Trove,including a free entry once per month. It’s basically a 119 version of the old level 50 treasure box bcnm.
>>2138359It takes a few seconds on Linux with a good enough CPU, but can be a few minutes on windows especially with low core/thread counts CPUs. Windows is significantly slower on the same hardware for some reason.
>>2138487Yeah Windows on an old r5 3600, duly noted.
What windower addon to get rid of merc spam on Asura?
this blud actually uses windower lmaojust filter yells
>>2138671aSHITa is just a windower knockoff, know your role.
>>2137780Look at happy bob here who's never been catfished by a dude pretending to be a cat girl. What's it like being you?
>>2138835>he doesn't knowlmao
>>2138839>talking to womenThat's on you.
This wasnt so bad.Do people really get filtered by this?
>>2138930it was way worse in dialup days
>>2138934NTA but even just last year it was really bad, they did something recently to make it a lot faster
>>2138299Actually I just checked it again, the map.exe closes instantly before spitting that out, as if something's not available that it needs. It's over.
>>2138964how much ram do you have?
Can I play retail without using Trusts?
>>2138967yeah
>>213896616gb, 2x8gb sticks
>>2138977huh, that should be enough... did you import the db with dbtool?
>>2138982I remember building xidb since it didn't exist in my MariaDB folder, ya, then exited out dbtool as per requested after getting to its main menu. Then built the server in visual studio. Maybe my Windows is just fucked. I did tinker with it a little a year back.
>>2138996run xi_map in the debugger in visual studio, it's probably crashingmake sure it is built in debug mode
>>2138997Exception unhandled? /shrug. Though running this in Visual Studio ran all 4, and map_server isn't closing now for some reason? /shrug
>>2139011whats the stack trace? you mentioned you had tried this before, maybe your db is out of date
>>2139013Kernelbase? Yeah I can't read this much.I only started doing this yesterday. What I did in the past was some random windows tinkering and was just guessing what my issue is, since I otherwise went through the quick start guide without issue until trying to log my character into the world and finding out the map.exe crashes.
Is there a control/config scheme guide for a new player to get acclimated with what people would normally toggle on or use as a keybind? It's a bit overwhelming and the controls are difficult.
>>2139030double click this oneyou're on english windows, right?
>>2139035Line 714.Also, uhhh, yeah? I did change sys local for some jap shit if that's a thing I was playing original JP blue protocol under scamco's giga gaijin hunting lol. Pretty sure that's not in effect anywere. The system is all in English so I don't think it's pretending to be jap still, maybe? The install was English if that's what you mean.
>>2139043right click "filename" and add to quick watchor it might show up in autos. whats the value? I don't know if JP locale matters...
>>2139050Buh?
>>2139061yeah try unsetting JP locale. That doesn't look right. It's trying to load a script for this itemINSERT INTO `item_basic` VALUES (256,0,'hume__mannequin','h_mannequin',@FURNISHING_TYPE,1,61520,@NONE,0);but the mars symbol is being translated into gibberish, and the conversion from gibberish to std::filesystem::path fails (correctly, I might add.) You should probably file a bug report about this
>>21390734cuck deleted the mars symbol from my post (figures...)
>>2139073I'm looking at the discord and someone else had the same issue in September. >>2139078 And yeah that actually seems likely, probably trying to parse it as jap, since it's non-unicode I think? Here's what I changed. I remember some Jap game filenames being kinda gibberish'd on my system in the past (wasn't an issue there). Here's what I changed.
>>2136858normal fun people get chased out by autistic schizoids
>>2139078It's progressing now. Thank you based anon. I deserve this for playing some shitty jap eroge.
>>2139107Haha... at least it's working
>>2139115Defeat this barrier...
>>2139122<Walls>? Never heard of em
>>2139124
>>2138934I remember this taking 12+ hours in 2003, and then you couldn't use the phone
>>2138967Yes, but if you still plan on soloing, expect to have to exclusively target Easy Prey and massively over level to beat many important fights.
What I would give for solo players to simply stop existing
>>2140473I would love to play the game with people in Retail as I level and play it for the first time but there's no one I can find to do so with in-game, everyone is years ahead of course, that's just the nature of things now, it's why I don't want to use Trusts
>>2140500Yup, and people like me who are more on the casual side that would hang out with you are hidden away on small backwater servers.
On playing a local lsb of the game, do changes to main.lua require a recompile in Visual Studio (the CMake step)?I'm scared to touch it and break it after the trouble of finally getting it set up, but I do want to reduce some exp/skill rates to play more like a 2010 version, and remove more things that came after about 2012 like records of eminence and sparks NPCs.Also why does my game always crash when notepad opens up, even just in the windows preview pane it'll instacrash. pic related mfw I'm scrolling through explorer and forget the .txts will crash my game lol.
>>214062> do changes to main.lua require a recompile in Visual Studio (the CMake step)?no, at most you just need to restart processes. lua is independent of the c++>Also why does my game always crash when notepad opens upi don't know gro but install dgvoodoo and the crashes will probably go away
>>2140719Oh that is very epic, ty
>>2139095> Women become significantly crazier as they age?Why?
Any way to get 120+ FPS?
>>2140935Making the actual game-engine go above 60 fps seems to fuck it up. So you're gonna want an external application for that, like Lossless Scaling. As a side note, even some cutscenes only work at 30fps (and presumably less), otherwise the NPCs/game just stay frozen and don't proceed. Based frame-tied animations jej.
>>2140719I'm actually looking into the files now more comprehensively. So any non-lua files need a recompile?I'm just seeing typical C-looking stuff (h/cpp) and also .sql files. I'm seeing .sql seems to have the raw data like timers and drop %s so I'm interested in those. Barely know anything about sql, with basically 0 knowledge about it.
>>2140995SQL is really simple it's just piped statements across a .csv
>>2140924thank you for so artfully demonstrating my statement
>>2141290retard log off of 4chan
bros would you say it's best to just use Ghelsba Outpost to push from level 10 to 12 and then gun for Dunes parties instead? I don't want to do the loop group all the way to 20 but I will if i have no choice I guess
>>2140995just cheat and give yourself TH12 or some shit!setmod treasure_hunter 12
>>2141729I just godmode and kill 1 mob every 3s instantly on cd instead
>>2142067>he doesnt make his own command to claim everything in the zone and then kill itbaka
>>2141566Damage dealers dont need a group to kill Ghelsba outpost mobs. That's just tanks and healers leaching off of you.
Is there a list of the pre-banned faggots that will be annex'ed from Phoenix server? I want hope that the 40 year old women of Aerec's server won't be there.
>>2142412Setsuko is banned yes
>>2142412no list AFAIK but they said they'd preban any repeat offenders from past serversso if there's anyone you definitely think should be on that list, odds are they're already on it
>>2142223for me it's
>>2141566Sandoria native? Yes that or Ranps tomb. If it's your first character, for a San nation mission, you'll want Ranps tomb at some point to get orcish scales from the bats at night, if you wanna 2birds 1stone. Its a rare/ex inv item, drops independent of mission rank status etc. Double check the bat levels, but i think they're like 3-7? Should still get you exp to reach 12, otherwise venture deeper for higher level mobs.
>>2142223I can only hope to obtain this power eventually. Currently spent the lqst few hours skimming and perusing all the server files.
>>2142470Is that an instant wipe of everything upon zoning? Lol wtf. And why are there 2 immortal variables?
>>2142443The other one
>>2142545Yes Rahne is also banned
>>2142557Proof?
horizon really only has 2 people Aerec can call devs huh
>>2142763Get banned idiot desu
>>2142557Thank you
>>2142705I banned her myself
Once again, they talked about features and stuff that came from LSB and other people who worked on LSB as if it was their own doingAerec is such a dipshit
>>2142973So you just made it up for drama.
>>2143016Big if true
>>2143016nope. im kipling and I banned her
me? I'm kipling and I banned (You)
>>2143083That's notaru nicey-wicey!
Should I? Never played this shit before
>>2143128why not gro
Quick what retail server do I roll
>>2143159The one where you’re likely to find me fishing up tiger sharks or cave cherax.
>>2140133or you could unlock NIN/SMN/BST/PUP and cheese a majority of the fights
>>2140500>>2140536I'm telling yah, all the anons should go to a low population server so we can all play together and not be bothered by other people
>>2141566La Theine might be better since there's much less aggro
>>2142506>And why are there 2 immortal variables?just DSP things
>back after 5 months and my bot is brokenDoes anyone know the new item ID's for Rods on HorizonXI? It would appear the cuck devs have changed the ID's on the items themselves
>ID's
>>2143159Odin
>>2143547The rod ids are still the same, it's some kind of workaround the server devs did to break ffisher
>>2143369No way, fort ghelsba for fire and dark crystals. Just be careful and don't pull unnecessary agro. Fort is safer than outpost and you can kill them until they're 10/11 below.
What am I supposed to do with crystals other than auction housing them?
>>2143790retail or pserver? retail has a crystal storage system, you should save them so that you can craft with them eventually. if you have no interest in crafting, sell them. you can also trade them for rank points to your nation.
>>2143790Always just sell them as they'll take up inventory otherwise and you can always farm clusters/just buy them later if you want to craft
>>2143705I've circumvented it using Deepseek to assist in re-writing without any of the rod issues will upload when I'm finished being autistic with the GUI
Is leveling DRK fun? I'm thinking of having it for zergs.
>>2143874I had a great time as DRK in exp parties on Horizonthen I got to 75 and realized I was basically dead ended in the job without leveling something else to gear it
>>2143790When the Phoenix server comes out you'll want to put them on the auction house nonstop. Biggest demand for crafters and great for initial income
>>2143054Doin the lord's work
>>2143885what are the good jobs to level to gear up others with anyway? other than bst obviously.
>>2143933BLM, any healer, summonerBasically anything that is typically in demand at end game even if you're lower geared.Tank is also good at the start of a server's lifespan before all of the shells get geared ones - after that it's worth even less than DD
>>2143927Sorry not playing that pedo server.
>>2143937thanks. i guess tank is an option if i make a character on one of the fresh servers releasing but i assume if you become geared then you're as fucked as bards are and are forced to bring it to end game content?
>>2143951yesnever level bard unless you are prepared to be asked to only come on bard forever
>>2143940Setsuko is on the pre ban list so don’t worry. She can groom more minors on Zenith
>>2144008Staff list shows a pedo of Phoenix. Deflecting doesn't change that.
>>2143874yes, ignore the haters
>>2144016Setsuko isn’t on staff anon. Use your eyes.
>>2144025thank you anon
>>2143940Didnt stop you at all from playing on Aerec's server. Clout vulturing must of been that good.
>>2143951Exactly.>>2143960Never play a bitch-duty job unless you mentally enjoy being a bitch. Avoid Whitemage and Bard at all costs. Or enjoy being a 2nd rate citizen.
>>2144008Speaking of groomers what about the ones that play on Horizon. One of them is even on staff.
>>2143933BLM The only hard part is that if you level it first you have to find a way to get your spells as you go (Expensive) which can be hard (Farming it yourself on BST or with friends) or require gilprinting
>>2144058Who?
>>2144054Aerec kicked the pedo out of staff and banned the pedo players.
>>2144086Setsuko was banned yes but Enemycrab is still being protected by horizon staff
>>2144098Both staff and players who are pedos are banned. Migrated to Phoenix. Yikes.
>>2144102Setsuko can’t migrate to Phoenix she is banned for being a confirmed pedophile
>>2144086What about the rest of the pedos and groomers on staff and on server of Aerec's? Does he even know?
>>2144102> These were typed by woman hands. Head Assistant groomer mind you.
>>2144069>List of current documented groomers and pedos.EnemycrabSetsukoHugin RahneRahne also the assistant to Hugin grooming.KiplingChojiSpicyryanTristBeastyand more.Some are pdfs. Some groomahdooms.
>>2144195and Zizgorlin. Will get upset when grooming attempts fail.
>>2144195lumping everyone else there with enemycrab is wild. say what you want any them being creepy but only one of those usernames shows up in a police report
If I have a character on Asura that I want to re-use the name, I can't just delete them and make a new one because of the lock right? So my only option is to resubscribe, skipping the free Welcome Back campaign, buying a second character slot, then I'm able to delete the character and make a new one?
>>2121771Yeah, they had a crossover.
>>2144195oh boy! they're documented?care to catbox the proof?
>>214422190% on that list above creepy for sure good point
where are the proofs?
We don’t need proof we just sling accusations
>>2144303all of the enemy crab documents have been preserved on the wayback machine and can be easily found. the other accusations are just interpersonal drama.http://web.archive.org/web/20250225053153/tumblr.com/enemy--crab
>>2144353um... enemycrab sisters?
>>2144098Hugin has stated a few times that he will ban Enemy Crab if he is stupid enough to log in and then grab his IP to give to the FBI.
>>2144371retardIPs are already logged on cuckrizon including MAC addresses, IF hugin said that, he's blowing smoke because they already have it
>>2144371Thats funny Hugin not wanting enemycrab to step on his turf. >How does this person know what Hugin would do.This post was typed by Woman hands btw.
>>2144388It's ok Anon. This is his assistant trying to make a 4chan statement on his behalf again.
>>2144390He wants the monopoly on Horizon Grooming LOL. Pretty wild that a Horizon staff member is reaching into people's personal lives regardless. Yikes. Big Red Flag if you make an account there.
>>2144388MAC addresses are really easy to change.
>>2144399I know that, but i'm just saying what they are collectingbesides, you're probably too fucking retarded to know you could just edit the bytes here to send whatever MAC you want https://github.com/HorizonFFXI/hxiloader/blob/a4b0f818c6e66614d14854ca1574f1df3fefdd7e/src/network.cpp#L573kys and fuck horizon
Imagine resorting to these accusations instead of building a good server. Kipling simps in shambles. Make it less obvious next time you meltdown.
>>2144444Can do both. Kill yourself Aerec server shill. Kill yourself twice to make sure the job gets done. Have a seat next to Semicolon.
>>2144394can we all stop pretending that 50 year old married men are grooming 50 year old divorced women in final fantasy xi
hello, where are the Asura linkshells? i'm new
>>2144596How'd you get on Asura??
>>2143722what do you kill in fort for dark crystals, isn't it ass to even get there and maneuver safely
>>2143885>then I got to 75 and realized I was basically dead ended in the job without leveling something else to gear itThat was half the server doe from any dd job jej
>>2144603i had an old account with a level 10 on it
>>2143927On horizon there were just so many crystals and not enough inflation that you'd vendor them until like a month into the server when the gilexploiters comfortably duped millions and started leveling crafts
>>2144195>literally who>literally who>literally who>literally who>literally who>and literally whoI don't understand why any of you give a shit about niche e-celebs
>>2144702It's simps trying to deflect from Kipling and how corrupt Phoenix will be. Every accusation is a confession. Ignore it.
>>2144704>it's [literally who]'s faultagain, who fucking cares
>>2144705>Ignore it.Boohoo reading is hard.

>>2144702i only care about the actual registered pedophile. the rest is braindead gossip, but this thread is 80% schizo AARP members with nothing better to do than namedrop each other
>>2144708You think anyone here reads? Its the same banned retards crying that they can't get banned on a new server.
>>2144784>retailI don’t care
>>2144945CatsEye WeW Actually
hmm very interesting that only very specific types of posts are deleted when referring to an ambiguous other
>>2144953You can’t even say it, you sound like a pussy
say what? that you're a faggot that willingly sucks my cock for gil?
>>2145026Absolutely cucked and cowardly. Keep crying
it
>>2144951Even worse
>>2144861At this rate I'm confident nobody here plays the game. It's all new AI chatbots getting practice.
I was never banned on any serverthough I did get a temp ban on retail in like 2005
Why do the mods defend rahne? SeriouslyHow could anyone like being around such an insurfferable cunt?
>>2145207Criminal scum!
trvke
>>2145231yeah how dare I talk shit like the retarded teenager I was kek
>>2145226nobody cares. don't like someone? don't talk to them. don't want to hear about them? don't talk about them. easy as that. private servers must attract low t men with the amount of gossip you love to indulge in. get your hormones checked at your next doctor's appointment and you might find yourself caring less about literal whos on the internet
Can someone explain to me how to set up a controller for retail with ashita v4?I've tried putting in all the variables and it accepts the inputs but the button mapping is all over the place (d-pad down is interact etc)
>>2145368I installed the game with no intent to use controller, until in game I was clicking through the menu to set configs, and there's a gamepad menu. Clicking that, clicking enable, and using the xbox profile it all juzt werked
>>2145353> Goes on the defense because everyone knows the comment was about her.> Mentions low t men but no mention of women> Doesn't realize women are widely knownand notorious for spreading gossip than men.> Uses low t comment anyway cuz melty time.>>2145353This message was typed by woman hands.

>>2145875it wasn't that deep. i said you have low t because you're acting like a little bitch with all your gossip, you fucking idiot lmao
>>2145913Wrong again sis.
>>2145913>t. schizo hands
Does LSB have double exp rates? I just killed an even match and got 200 exp. Or is this just for starter zones or something? I just want to undo whatever is giving that bonus exp, and I set the global factor for 0.5, but idk if it's just even match and below bonuses or something.Also what the FUCK is this shitty dice captcha step this new captcha was fine until this bullshit, 4 failed captchas before posting
>>2146079it has retail exp rates, though idk from when, probably abyssea? soa? it's a retail emulator after alli think you can change it in some sql tables?
>>2146094I changed the map.sql. I'm just wondering if they doubled exp across the game or if it's just even match and below or starter zones only or something.
>>2145931Low estrogen comment
hello, I am now level 24 WAR
>>2146207loooooool no full chainmail loool noob loooooooolll !
>>2143367That would be neat. We could all overwhelm a tiny server and make it /ours/. But only 3 or 4 players ITT would even consider it.
>>2146211just got some from killing The Forest Tiger from Junger Forest!
that was very close!
>>2146268there's a reason no one fights funguars, monsters really need to be rebalanced so classic progression stops being soulless birdXI

I honestly believe it's quicker to just kill random easy mobs off the side of the road in 4 hits getting 50 exp per kill than it is to kill one tough mob that gives 350 exp but takes 3 minutes to smack to death and another 2 minutes for everyone to rest up afterwards.Gives you more items too, and lower chance of dying, and more stimulating to walk around a zone than kneeling in the corner of the map for hours. And literally no one contests it because it's not a dedicated farming spot so it's always available whenever you want.
>>2146385Yes that's the way to play, the noobs big first hurdle is learning this.
>>2146306are you mad that you aren't an e-celeb and nobody cares about you?
hot mithra with tattoos and piercings, fishnets, goth makeup, chain smokes, hard drinking who says racists things about elvaan, galka and taru taru
>>2146383no. it's a retail emulator. deal with it nerd
>>2146727this except hume females and no smokingthey need to have fat asses though
Cam someone explain the history of BST o me? Was it BST+d in any form in Horizon? Or has it simply always been that way? I barely paid attention to it, and i only remember people either charming or having the crab with them at 75. Is Horizon BST just an update they did during 75cap or is it all Adoulin stuff?
>>2147065horizon BST is abyssea basically, and plus some extra out of era stat buffsjoke server
>>2147073Abyssea? Oyvey. Le + was such a mistake on every single job. Will Zenith or Phoenix have any Abyssea jobs like that?
>>2147078zenith is doing custom garbage, phoenix wont
So since they were able to move off PS2 devkits and into blender and stuff like that, what is the future of retail?
>>2147085They mentioned new zones and new gear models are possible. So theoretically they could actually do a real expansion, but I dont think they willI hope they will though, because genuinely I am curious to see what the other regions of vanadiel we havent seen look likeand no, bamboo forest far east doesnt count
>>2147085cosmetic shop
>>2147065bst was by far the best horizon class at launch and they kept nerfing it for a while. initially the pets didn't even level sync down for bcnms.
>>2147078>Le + was such a mistake on every single job.It was good for DRK
>>2147089instead of spending the money polishing this old turd, SE needs to remake the game with full rendering and a seamless world. Start over from complete scratch with a focus on immersion and making the journey as memorable as possible. I'm talking no level sync AND fuck the haters
>>2147164Please tell me what seamless would add to the game? At this point its just a retarded buzzword.
>>2147201xiv 1.0 was seamless and it was awesome
>>2147164You really want 2025 Square Enix to remake FFXI? Have you seen the garbage they've been putting out the past 5 years?
40 year old sperg hour!
Is there a guide for tanking as a new player on retail? I know that PLD and RUN are the two tank main jobs people point to, but are there others?
>>2147257There used to be but I think spicy had a melty and deleted it
>>2147089I wish we could really explore Tartaris, where Odin comes from. It could be like WoW's Shadowlands expansion but not shitty made for Saturday morning cartoon content like what Blizzard went with. Yes I'm saying SE can do it better by far
>>2147257I don't know paladin very well these days, but its probably similar to RUNhttps://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Community_Rune_Fencer_GuideIf you have specific questions I can try to answer you
>>2147164soon
>>2147319I'd like to think that the FF11 raids in FF14 are related to that and that they're killing 2 birds with 1 stone. It's not like they can't just reuse a bunch of models from FF14 anyway for the monsters.
>>2147319nothing ever happens
>>2147322>It's not like they can't just reuse a bunch of models from FF14 anyway for the monsters.kek just do the inversethey stole so many mobs from FFXIthat would be so funny
Just wanted to say I love FFXI and I love all you non-schizos because you make the game feel alive
>>2147164>full overhaulwe'd have to wait 10 years for them to get finished
>>2147257WAR and NIN and SAM are also dedicated Tank classestechnically you can tank as SMN and PUP and BST but everyone will tell you "don't try it, dumbass"RDM can technically "tank" in the sense that it can solo a surprising amount of things by itselfBLM has a niche option in Mana Wall, but you shouldn't rely on it for consistency, same with THF using Perfect Dodgestack enmity+ gear and DT- gear and you're already in 90th percentile
>>2147257>>2147443I guess I should add, enmity is difficult to compete for if your DD's are doing big damage compared to you, so you still need to worry about your damage output, and you have to use things like Provoke, Flash, and Curaga, or even your 2 hour skill to spike your enmity quickly. having a THF friend can also help you gain enmity if they use Trick attack on you. In longer encounters that max out the enmity gauge you're gonna want ways to get rid of enmity on your DD's, so DRGs with Super Jump and SCH with Caper Emissarus is good to have. BRD has some skills, I don't remember but I think they increase enmity decay, or reduce enmity lost or something weird like that.Enmity is gained from being the first person to interact with a mob, and you gain enmity for certain actions, like cure, or most abilities, and of course dealing damage. You lose enmity by getting hit. The amount of enmity you lose is proportional to your max health, so a BLM who takes 45 damage and has 100 health loses a lot more enmity than a PLD who takes 45 damage and has 500 health. So in some situations it's actually beneficial for DDs to have less health because they'll shed hate easier, and it's obviously better for tanks to have more health so they'll lose hate slower.There's some other esoteric shit like "volatile enmity" that rapidly decreases at a constant rate until you use an ability to spike it, and "static enmity" or something where it stays the same until you get hit
>>2147455>so DRGs with Super Jumpand anyone who subs DRG with master level high enough to get lvl 50 subjob :^)
>>2147477or PUP with Ventriloquy (lmao)
>>2147455oh yeah, face mobs away from the party to avoid cone AoEsand you didn't hear this from me, but if you're going to die, then you can try to stop attacking the mob to avoid adding extra enmity so that someone else can get mob aggro and take a hit or two for you so you don't die (as fast)
>>2147344Does 14 even have any original monster designs?
>>2147443>>2147455Why would someone do, say, WAR/PLD instead of PLD/WAR?
>>2147201we get to see like 25% of vana'diel, a full render would show all of the mountain ranges and everything else that are just background images in the current game(if that) SE never developed any of the other regions they'd spoken of, we still don't have the far east, we don't have the mithran home islands, and all of the cities and other shit we do have is small. By comparison 14 feels much more complete even though we get some jank version of flight and swimming. vana'diel but in the form of WoW Cataclysm where they opened the whole world up and there's not much you can't explore. it's animpossible distant dream anyways.
>>2147491I think its got a few but not nearly as many as it should
>>2147255This is the same person posting schizo melties ITT.
>>2147590>we get to see like 25% of vana'dielthis is pretty criminal to me, there could be some pretty wild stuff out there
>>2147164square enix will never remake ffxi in a playable, enjoyable way. as a company/publisher they are far past their prime. are any of the original xi creators even involved with the company?
>>2146155this doesn't even make sense
>>2147966high test dubs
>>2147590So it adds nothing to the game? Got it. Stop giving worthless ideas.
>>2147590Its insane how much the open world games ruined videogames.
open garbage sucks and it's infesting everything
The Phoenix Xi team is looking pretty good. I have newfound faith of a decent server with a competent staff at the helm.
>>2148017is there any eta on these new servers other than "2026"?
>>2148046when it's ready
>>2148017Only good project at the moment with Eden dying and horizon having no future
>>2148017t. Phoenix staff
>mfw leveling as if it was retail on private server and enjoying myselfsovl.... sovl never changes...... do I really want to bother with a new server launch, it was so shit on horizon trying to do anything, tell me those fags are ready to 10x spawn rates
>>2148119If it's not era accurate then they won't do it.
>>2148119horizon launch was literally the best time to play even with all the bullshitnow whenever you want to do something other than leveling you can just ask a 75 to help you
>>2148129Cant wait for that fresh experience again on Phoenix Launch
>>2148168>nms drop rare version of gearwhy are these pserver autists like this
>>2147989Why would it add nothing to the game?Are you really such a talentless NPC that you completely lack an imagination?
>>2147495WAR has more varied weapon access which is good for exploiting physical weaknesses or skillchaining, and typically has higher damage output from double attack, berserk, tomahawk etc.
>>2147989>>2147993>>2147997Okay samefaganowski thanks for your opinion.
>>2148168>Everyone has shit gear>WTT my asshole for Royal Knight's breeches
>>2148170why are you worried about the sellable version when the rare/ex version is still offered through BCNMs? Unless you care about farming these NMs yourself, other people killing them does not affect you.
>>2148187Rare/ex versions are a trophy that show you earned it while the BCNM cheap mass market versions were for the lazy fags
>>2148017As someone who has boycotted Horizon for the last 2-3 years and doesn't actively play XI atm, do you think that Horizon might be a good server to play on once the main body of troons leave for Phoenix? Or best to get on Phoenix ASAP and just see how it goes?
>>2148187Yes i want to farm it myself, everyone farming their own gear is sovl, vs 1-3 nolife faggots permacamping to feed the gil exploiters
>>2148252I can't go back to Horizon after that evasion change. It ruined a good threshold and progression parties kinda suck ass now.
>>2148252depends on what you're looking to get from xi.We just started a group of anons on horizon a few weeks ago if all you're looking for is a group to play with. Retail is better for story and QoL.Phoenix is better for the """"""""authentic"""""""" fresh start experienceYour own personal private server is better if you just wanna fuck around in the sandbox.shitposting in /xig/ if you want to pretend to be a gossiping middle aged housewife
>>2148252The trannies will stay on horizon because of hnm camping
>>2148377and phoenix will solve this somehow?
>>2148175>npcIronic considering you are the one that wants to act like a fucking npc. You don’t care about the gameplay at all
>>2148187>is still offered through BCNMs?NM spawns are unlimitedBCNM entries are basically gated
>>2148378Yes they have pop kings
thread about to die, new thread here: >>2148485
>>2148488
>>2148477So much for era accurate.
>>2148252Avoid it at all costs if you can. There's a reason this thread is suddenly filled with shills. You don't see that for any other server, even the era accurate ones.
>>2148701Sorry kid, horizon is the best server and will always be, it has a vision
>>2148708I'll believe you when we have ToAU.
>>2148711trust the plan
>>2148701This thread has been full of horizon fucktards for 3 years you newfag
>>2148708>it has a visionwhich is?
>>2149068COP only
>>2149079for 4 yearsSad part is I bet it's not even Aerec shilling his own server. Probably some insecure retard with a 4chan addiction. Terrified of the migration from Aerec's server.
>>2148855And now they've magically turned to Phoenix fucktards. Keep up sis.
>>2148368whats the shell or is floor tanks reprising>>2148696era is anything pre abyssea sister
>>2149571Not to us 2003 chads.
>>2149417What do you have against people that play on a different server than you?
>>2149571new group, but I'm pretty sure one guy is from floortanks anyways. I'm currently in Bastok but everyone else is in Dunes, let me know where you are and I can get you a pearlalso someone else made a steam group that we all joined >>2074307 for ease of communication
Hello, what am I supposed to do for the holiday event on retail? I'm not exactly sure and the news page for it is a little confusing.
>>2150612there's probably some "festive moogle" npcs in the starter cities, that will give you quests or sell you items
>>2150612I just go outside and kill boxes for the key item until the Moogle gives me my daily FES key.
Phoenix needs a website that lets you manage your chars and see the AH just like Eden has.Plus something to inflate population numbers. The most important thing to any private server.
I had a good time today, I was able to complete Rank 2.
>>2151167why are you blogging your garbage here instead of going onto the actual discord of the server youre on?
>>2151220This, stop ruining my thread rss feed on pserver literal who dramas
>>2151167Grats! How are you liking it so far?
>>2151220>>2151550sorry>>2151621it was really fun
>>2151550Seems pretty sus when anon wants to talk about their adventurers here and not on an actual server discord. Very sus. Might be projecting even.
>>2151676These threads are for adventures. Continue to share. Ignore weirdos.
>>2151167congrats! i hope you like schizo stalkers
>>2152266Sometimes it’s hard to resist the autistic impulse to counter all of the shitposting with gameplay and adventure posts. Also, only terminally online weirdos socialize on Discord. We use LS chat for that.
>>2152266Do you ever say anything that isn't completely retarded?
>>2152266>>2152326>>2152714>Woman hands and her white knight simp dev typed all this.You have no say and no power over other players. kys

A few hours later and I'm back home and Rank 3!

>>2155522I gotta figure out where to unlock PLD>>2155664Thanks! I got some cool armor too
>>2155707PLD is the old man in South Sandy, there's a series of 3 quests to unlock it.
zzzzzz
So has anyone had alot of financial success with chocobo digging? I want to make good long plans for the long term going into the Phoenix server. I've never done chocobo digging before
>>2155707based blog GAWD
>>2156497Elm logs in Konsctat Highlands. It's about 9% of the items you dig up, which is considerably better odds than most items of similar value. A lot of the lesser treasure there is actually decent compared to the trash in other zones as well.
Heres the link below to the Phoenix Server for those that needed it. They just finished coding all of the KSNMs and moving along at a pretty good pace. On the webpage there is also a link to the discord server. https://phoenix-xi.com/about

>>2163063One anon is posting his adventures then a schizo is making fun of him for playing retail. Truly captures the FFXI spirit.
>>2121496i'm confused the OP picture is from ffxiv but its a ffxi thread. Why?
