Lots of private server options. Community is thriving.
2nd for no schizo posting.
>>2486292You forgot the Anniversary details:>Discount Campaign: From May 15th to June 9th, the Complete Edition will be 67% off ($30 -> $10)>Echoes of Vana'diel Discount: From May 27th to June 9th, players who are subscribed to XIV will receive a discounted 30 days of XI sub ($13 -> $7). If you are buying XI for the first time, it seems like this discount will still apply after the included first 30 days, as long as you buy the game within this window.>Return Home to Vana'diel: From May 15th to May 25th, players previously subscribed to XI will be able to play the game for free. (Must be unsubscribed as of May 12th)
Pegasisters...?
>>2486558THRIVING
which retail server is the best now? i remember having 1 toon on asura but that's several years ago and idk if i should start fresh or not
>>2486588Asura still most popular. The next open one is Valefor but not sure how many folks here play.
checking out pegasus xi right now, they're not doing wipes and they're giving out 10m gil with the AH completely stocked up, they're a 99 cap server which I know might not appeal to 75 boomers
>99 cap>has dyna-d
>>2486301Lots of AI slop servers popping up riding off of the work Phoenix is doing to improve LSB while contributing nothing back.
why are people still playing this relic of an MMO?
>>2488205it's good
people still play ultima online and play MUDsffxi is brand new comparatively.
>>2488205yeson horizon at least
gw1's recent resurgence happened at around the same time as xi's and both are kind of trickling in new content oldfag mmos are on the upswing
XI is hostile to new players period Sure let's sit around Jueno for 10 hours shouting for an endgame party. So many sad faggot boomers that ruin the new player experience. For a community that shits on FF14 and makes fun of the playerbase, XI is riddled with 60 year geriatric niggers who can't parse the idea of playing anything past the year 2007.
>>2488477I tried GW1 remake or w/e, it's very clunky.
>>2488136Aww wittle Phoenix slavie needs a wittle gold star and a juice box.
>>2488484why are you even here then
>>2486292I'm trying to buy a gold pass for my buddy that's about to try out the game, but it's giving me a "cannot connect to world pass server" error. Are these things just dated/dead content or is something else going on?
>>2488484>waaaaah slur slur slurWe don't want you here anyway. Go back to WoW.
People in this thread constantly calling Phoenix AI slop, even their obviously hand drawn trailer is called AI. Then extremely blatant AI slop servers pop up all over the place and everyone is silent here about it. Make up your mind. Or is it just Horizon staff scared trying to shit talk Phoenix and they have no fear of these low effort servers?
Let's see. Phoenix - Old problematic devs, supposed Ai Slop server. Horizon - Old head server with bad job balance and a lack of content. CatsEye - Old head server banned from the XI community because the server owner doxxed a player. Lmao pick a struggle guys. It's all the same mediocre flavor of 75 cap custom or not. I'm glad the server I am on doesn't have any of these problems.
>>2488621Yes, it’s just horizon folks who are scared trying to write anonymous fan fiction. Go into any horizon stream where they talk about Phoenix and you’ll see at least one person say that they are scared about what’s going to happen to horizon’s population. It’s just a weird spite thing, even though Phoenix is hugely benefiting the entire community and not just themselves.
Got banned from Horizon for fishbotting. Will have to do it on Phoenix instead now.
>>2488681Problematic how?
>>2488790They have a history of get thisbanning people who cheat and harass people
Other than being free, what's the point of playing on all these private servers?
Are there any guides to starting on retail with the current anniversary events that are active?
>>2488843Because the version of the game they are emulating no longer exists
>>2488790They don’t have a reason. They just like to say whatever they can to be a hater. Know how I’m right? They never link a single shred of evidence of anything.
>>2488851I understand people wanting old WoW but I didn't think FFXI changed that much.
>>2488603if you're on bahamut or asura and I think also Odin now(?) those servers are closed to new players so I think gold pass shit doesn't work on them. If you're not on those servers idk it was working when I did it last year
>>2488892It changed tremendously
>>2488850pretty good summary of what to grab from the new stuff especially the temporary events for a new playerhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l3v-WPni5ucfor a new player guide in general I would recommendhttps://web.archive.org/web/20240101045247/https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Quickstart_1-119_Guide
>>2488908I heard about that but tried making a new character on Bahamut and it worked just fine.
>>2488926Thank you.
Phoenix XI will be most kino if they add zone fatigue for easyfarm and fantasyfisher bots
>>2489006>they add zone fatigueWhy isnt that a thing on Horizon? People had Lu Shangs within a week due to fish botting.
>>2489186Wasn’t confirmed or known
>>2488892it changed as much as WoW and maybe even more
>https://www.amiami.com/eng/detail/?gcode=GOODS-04306312Will they ever bring back this merch? Fuck them, why can't they just sell fun XI merch all the time?
>>2488484i'm surprised you didn't feel right at home with the racist boomer incels that play this game. just /t rinste
>>24887901 dev was having autistic cybersexual relations with a player, then she was banned. the entire thing was insanely cringe, now the player goes around comparing the experience to rape while the dev has a schizophrenic meltdown when he hears her name. best to forget about it and stop giving those involved the clout and notoriety they desperately crave
>>2488621>ctrl+f>doubt
>>2489712Got any proof of this? Or did you write this in your diary?
>>2488205People are still playing Everquest and vanilla WoW, the truth is that nothing that has come out since has been comparable.
>>2488681>Phoenix - Old problematic devs, supposed Ai Slop server.it'll be different this time guys, take 4>Horizon - Old head server with bad job balance and a lack of content.It'll be different this time guys, take 3>CatsEye - Old head server banned from the XI community because the server owner doxxed a player.Retail jr. At least it has self found ironman mode which is its only redeeming quality.
After 14 years break, I joined for free login and went around to old areas for nostalgia yesterday. While in Windurst Walls [S] I talked to NPCs and saw a Campaign guy, he was like "Hello X, let's see how your Campaign progress is coming along... Oh we are very displeased of your recent Campaign contributions. I'm taking away your Mythril Wings of Service §§ key item immediately. Fuck off"Guess I shouldve killed more Yagudos in the last decade guys, RIP....
>wanted to play retail with a friend>trial players cant invite each other to partiesughhh
>>2489854First time online? It was on reddit then the fatfuck nuked it cause spergy racist kept doxxing him or something. Tent man has the summary https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xigsO_UB3hI
>>2489854Why are you sweeping for Phoenix? No shade. Just curious. It seems you've been on the defensive anytime Phoenix is mentioned. There's a reason why players ask who the server devs are, or else we get incidents like CatsEye where Carver doxxed a player because they were abusing a gil exploit and it spiraled out of control from there. Maybe not "that" extreme, but c'mon man. It's a canary in the coal mine situation and the bird is dead and rotting. I moved over to Eventide I avoided the major servers due to bad drama.
people have been asking for proof since before phoenix was even announcedit's never been shown.
>>2490066Haha... should have checked in every conquest week, chuddie
Proof was shown then the website was deleted. Use the archive it's been posted many times before jannies get it.
Website?
yeah I have "proof"*crops screenshots after using inspect element to edit the text to have it say what I want it to say*damn I sure am great
>>2489854of course not, i'm not involved, i just consoom reddit threads and regurgitate gossip for fun. i read the leaked sexts, i'm sure they are still out there somewhere, you can read them and make up your own mind. of course that's assuming you aren't k*p himself trying to white knight yourself on 4chan, that would just be sad
Ever wonder why people strangely crop things and never post the full transcript?
Is the "evil editing" in the room with us now?
Xing in for the real HNMNo one posting proof
>>2486292>Catseye - https://catseyexi.com/or retail for a dude who never played FFXI besides for 2 hours at my uncles PC back in 2003?!
>>2491126all things considered, it's like retail but heavily custom.
"post proof" as if this thread isn't where i learned you can send a DMCA takedown for your sexts
Proof?
>post the proof.>oh the proof is out there alright >doesn’t post any proof yet again m
The heroin hero forgot to mention the part where K***** helped Carver doxx SR but retards will screech PROOF??? because those DMs and any history of them were scrubbed to rewrite the narrative.
>>2491569So no proof then? Curious
>NPC: I need 3 silk thread or crawler calculi>"people": wtf this is so confusing and dated, where do I gobruh it's not rocket science why do people act like FFXI is insanely convoluted
>>2491651Because they are retarded and need their hands held 24/7 in gaming
>>2491651xiv players try ffxi and get obliterated by a rabbit then cry themselves to sleep and transition into jet fuel that melts steel beams
>>2491714And XI players have a melty when new players ignore their advice on how to play the game because they've been playing since 2007. The future is now old man. Nobody wants to hang out in your LS that you've made into an old boys club and is run by retired marine who beats his wife in the background. XI players are some of the worst people who can't cope with any form of change. That's why you're stuck in 2007 playing an old version of a game that no longer exist in modern day.
uh oh melty
>>2491791they're not wrong though, if i had to compare the two, xiv wins. ff11 was never built with huge raids in mind, standing and reading a chat log to see what happened mid-fight isn't fun imo
>xiv
>>2491818Instead you rely on twitch clips.
>>2491838??? XIV's raid system far surpasses anything that XI could put out. They're still de-tangling from PS2 devkits. Literally 2 decade old technology, going on almost 3. We're getting better content and new classes and a new expansion. So what's your point big man?
>>2491849lmao just let the boomers sit in their retirement home. they don't know what new games are
>>2490066that's what you get for being a disloyal member of the windurstian military, you fucking traitor scumbag
little bros, although you all have great points, go make an xiv thread to gloat and circle jerk about xiv in. don't taunt the old men of xi. they've been lead-addled and get confused about well defined words like succubus
XIV's raid system might be... anything. But it's irrelevant/the problem? I don't like playing XIV.
XI is for people who go "I went to Warped Tour in 1998." sure thing grandpa, now take your pills and play your funny RPG game.
some of us were born after lead was removed from gasoline, so we only have microplastics in our balls.
>>2491988peak gameplay standing in front of a mob and reading a text box the entire time while you try to figure out what weaponskill to use next. I'd rather play ESO or any other tab target. XI hasn't innovated its gameplay at all in over 2 decades, any draconic argument can be shut down by two words "PS2 devkits." the game is so old it can't even handle 60 FPS because animations were written with 30 FPS and anything faster causes your game to crash. kek, lmao even.
>>2491818playing ff14 is like watching paint dry. It's like playing the best version of skyrim that is fully modded out and then being forced to play ESO and people tell you it's better. It's not better. FF14 sucks a dead hobo's rancid sweaty nut sack.
>>2492013You don't even know how to play. You did the main scenario and have never tried endgame or you wouldn't be saying this. You're a dude with his head stuck up his own ass trying to tell people who know better the things you think you KNOW
>>2492013ok so go to the xiv thread if you love it so much, why are you here?
*presses 1,2,3,4,5*wew lad my fingers are so tired, I can't think because of how intense that was
>>2486301Play Retail.https://www.playonline.com/ff11us/
XIV is just instant-gratification zoomer slop, with trannies littering every city. You can't even play without mods to sex up your characters for ERP. Imagine paying a subscription to have cyber sex with another man masquerading as a woman.
>>2492166>You can't even play without mods to sex up your characters for ERP.I don't use any cosmetic mods and I'm able to play the game just fine. But yeah, if you're playing it as an ERP room, you probably want to download ERP mods, it's not rocket science. >Imagine paying a subscription to have cyber sex with another man masquerading as a woman.The vast majority of XIV players do not do this.
Anyone know what this happy happy slug is?
>>2492178https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Category:Monstrosity
Xing in for the HNM that is xiv schizos
>>2492166Current MMOs aren't really made with instant gratification in mind, these days all the content is timegated to keep sub numbers up.
>>2492403FF-14 is just a carrot on a stick simulator, last time i played you got one piece of gear a week from raiding and it was like ooh i can replace my one piece of gear this week with something 5 item levels higher and its all stat vomit numberslop and raiding consisted of doing bare minimum avoidance mechanics while following some minmaxer's rotation for a chance at topping the logs this week. I'd rather fucking shoot myself.
>>2490287So some psychos made shit up and reddit deleted it for harassment? lol
>>2492403The truth is they NEVER cater to the addicts crowd because they are the easiest to care for. Just drop daily and monthly shit to keep subs. If you don't do this they get upset there's nothing to do. Raids are for the casual crowd and the majority.There are statistics that showed that people stopped playing at an early game quest that made you increase your ilvl. Because there was no marker, even though the NPC to buy armor from was right next to it, they didn't know what to do. This is the magnitude of stupidity that current MMOs are designed around.
>>2492999People wrote their extensive "i did nothing wrong" manifesto which just outed all parties as mentally unwell spergs and one sperg got bootyblasted and he used his lawyer degree TM to DMCA the reddit thread and the admins freaked out and nuked it. People now try to use 4chan to out the spergs and it gets nuked by reporters. One anon is claimed to be a janny and friends with the sperg hence the struggle. Proof-anon is just damage controlling and trying to bait people into b&.
If I wanted to find a WAR on my server to borrow so that I can proc Red !! on an NM in Abyssea, what would be the best way to go about it you think
>>2493186Ask your linkshell or use /yell.
>>2493186you can just deaggro NMs through a conflux and it randoms their procs again
>>2493186this is a singleplayer game buddy level one yourself
>>2493186>>2493309>make system designed to incorporate a lot of jobs>1-2 jobs can just solo a proc completely>other jobs can do nothing but watch>1 proc has the opposite problem, extremely annoying to proc but turns out it's mostly useless anyway>also good luck getting a drop if you don't engage with this systemWhat the fuck where they thinking? How was abyssea good again?
>>2493172The video says nothing about 4chan why you LARPing bro
>>2493172This anon is the janny speaking in 3rd person.
Can I just craft and fish all day and do nothing else?
>>2493536Yeah, and you can make a bunch of gill just buying stuff off the AH and vendoring it if you know the prices.
>>2492044>You don't know how to play. Brother I've done all of Abyssea content and Voidwatch. I've done Ambuscade. What else is there to fucking do? Lmao. Money is piss easy to make on XI too, you fight Matamata and sell Pluton cases and go cash in. I quit back in 2018 and left with 138m in my pocket. K e k l m a o. I'm sorry is your best quality playing a 2007 private server where you fight "Land Kings" over and over and play a broken/buggy version of Salvage while you basedjock out at "peak" content. The cope of it all man. Go beat your wife and child and laugh it up with your buddies in your boys club LS gramps. Some of us will be living in 2026.
>>2493850Can I get a Raise 3 over here? There's been a murder.
>>2493850Wow you did some content over ten years ago. You got carried through ambuscade.
>>2493867Hello fellow anon, even I have to step in and call you retarded. Your whole argument was that they didn't play the game, then you say they got carried after they mention endgame content. XI boomers not winning this debate.
>>2493285My linkshell is circa 2012 and therefore very dead... RIP >>2493307Now this I can get behind, thank you Anon
>>2493887>>2493850my point was this faggot doesnt know how to play. He doesn't. He's a random shitter who thinks he knows what he's talking about.He's never done any retail endgame.
>>2493850>>2493857>>2493887Samefag
Final Fantasy XI private server players are very retarded.
>>2494110First time?
>>2493850incredible copypasta potential
My friends and I are gonna purposely not use the Echad ring in retail so we can try to not fly through levels.
>>2494197you're gonna fly regardless, there's an exp event going on
>>2494254The jubilee ring right? I mean at least that's only 50% instead of 150%, unless there is just a flat bonus everyone is getting.
>>2494110retail or private, the game itself caters to the most obsessive autism spectrum disorder sufferers
>>2492013>>2493850They hated him for speaking the truth.
>>2494265>unless there is just a flat bonus everyone is getting.>You can check active campaigns here for future reference, for the anniversary they're doing a rolling campaigns thing where they get better every week
>>2495119>forgot the linkhttps://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Category:Adventurer_Campaigns
Is there any way to know where the fuck Alexander is going to spawn for this event in retail?
>>2495373Well that was really annoying just teleporting back and forth for an hour, so I guess it doesn't matter anymore, I made my gear.
>>2495102Samefag McTardbox over here
>>2495654Nope
>>2486292Bahamut is closed on retail right now, right? What's the best server to join that's currently open? Phoenix?
>>2496204Yeah most new players are on Phoenix right now.
SKY GOOOOOODSGIVE ME HAIDATE AND MY MITHRA WIFE (male) IS YOURS
>>2496506BYAKKKOOOOODROP THIS MAN'S TRANNY PANTIES
>>2495934it's obvious that you're samefagging when you agree with the post that reads like schizo word salad. like brother you are the only one who knows what you're talking about
>post-iphone posting meta all over the threadAnyone who started playing after 2010 needs to go fuck off to xiv
>>2497094>it's obvious that you're samefaggingI'm not samefagging, I just agree with him.
Why are Final Fantasy XI private server players so retarded?
>>2497430*Why are private server players so retarded?Fixed
about to play retail again. friend claimed he got bant for abusing the free login (by not logging out and going over the allotted time) But I'm not so sure? has this been discovered by players?
There's only two people in this thread. Me, and the guy who has conversations with himself.
>>2497762No it's just me.
>>2497859sending 6 10k hp sheep to kill a mob is just like era chud!!
>>2497890you're right. i'm going to buy 5 more accounts and someone else's scripts to become a retail chad
Best use of login points if I had Shantotto 2 already? Do I just save up for a defending ring pop?
[x] clocking in for my Horizon camp window! o/// This linkshell is family ^^;
>>2497652never heard of that happening. I've tried it and it just disconnects you after a while
>>2499299Login points this month are dogshit if you already have Shantotto. I guess Prishe's boots are ok and cum masque has uses. Other than that there's fuckall worth caring about
How are there already streamers on Phoenix and the server isn't out yet? Why do these attention whores get early access to everything?
>>2492178
>>2499868are you confusing the private server with the retail server that all the newfags are playing on?
>>2499778as i suspected... i am thinking he was using some shady addons or botting.... but i didn't wanna pursue it
>>2499868Are you dumb?
>I had started on Asura before it got closed, but stuff happened and I stopped playing for the month>Let my sub lapse because other games came out>Start playing again now that my time is more free>All the new players are on a different serverBros......
>>2499868So glad Aerec's server doesn't have attention whores on it.
>>2499896You know you don't have to be concentrating on the entire screen at once right?
>>2500050Yeah its a shitty situation for returning newfags on the locked servers since the pool of newfags to do stuff with is constantly dwindling to 0 without replenishing
>>2500080is that why Aerec makes server announcements with everything pings to talk about egirl streamers?
>>2500335Getting a ping for a king pop is a sign of affection and friendship to XI CHADS, twitch thots are no different. This is how you know aerec is a real one
>>2499950You're telling me a private server named themselves after a retail server?
>>2500710Part of me wonders if that will make Square crack down for some retarded reason.
>>2500717Honestly wouldn't surprise me.
>>2500717Now of all times? Wings and Catseye sell merch and they don’t give a fuck
>>2501031Those didn't fuck up their SEO. If retail Phoenix gets locked then it probably won't matter at all but amusingly, right now that's THE retail server to roll on.
>>2501070dont think so. private servers with patreons and selling merch have been around for years and SE has never cared. this is definitely a nothingburger
Is this the new cope from horizonsisters?
>>2501393What if they do one day? Will they give a notice?
>>2501484Been 15+ years of private servers and no one has cared.
>>2500597Is this English? Why are Final Fantasy XI Private Server players so retarded?
I don't see SE cracking down on any private server, classic and retail are two different games and SE doesn't have the source code nor any interest for making an official classic version
>>2501519you don't speak for SE though
>>2501526neither do you retard
>>2501526that's why i framed it as my opinion
>>2501519SE doesn't give a shit unless its FF14
>>2501534in which case they'll ban your account for out of game things so long as you have the game open on your stream at the same time lmao
The people saying SE doesn't care about private servers are the same ones who thought SE were DMCAing streamers.
Is it true that if I login for the free weekend and just never log out, I won't get kicked and can keep playing for free...?
>>2501595there will be some kind of maintenance after, SE caught on to the free riders
>>2500335professor crab is an e girl? i never knew. good for her
>>2501802Electroslag too
>>2501807who
>>2501818Electroslag
>>2501829never heard of him
>>2501540you just say words in any order, huh
Is there a fork or just someone's own version of Nameplate with blackjack and hookers that I can use? It's abandoned now and the most recent release doesn't work with the current version of Windower.
>>2501540fuck streamers. DMCA them all day every day
>>2502197dmca deez nutz
square doesn't care about private servers or streamers because despite the self importance, in the grand scheme of things you are all literal whos that have zero earning potential, and take no money from the existing retail servers that are propped up by whales with 20 accounts each. paying attention to you will would cost the 1 part time ffxi employee too much time to be worth it
>>2503905Remember that one time that one female tangible streamer crashed out and had 200 viewers because of it?
do I still have enough time as a newfag to get the plaudits for the pulse weapon?
r8
>>2503905Yeah, sure, tell that to Turtle WoW et. al.
>>2504738hey, did you know that blizzard and square enix are two different companies? they are even based in different countries, with different languages and everything! isn't that crazy? now i want you to rethink your post with this in mind. what might you have missed here? if you can't figure it out, that's ok. we can try again tomorrow.
>>2504531>remember that time a literal who did literally what in front of literally who caresno, i'm too busy playing the game
>>2504663It'd be funny but the choppy USB keyboard was part of what made PS2 cool. I'd use it for Heltabs and Congtabs, though
>>2504785>hey, did you know that blizzard and square enix are two different companies?I knew your retarded ass would immediately latch onto this room temp IQ check statement. The point of the argument is never fly too close to the sun; never assume that just because your primarily based on the other side of the planet (even Russia) that you are immune to C&D shutdown; never assume that just because a company never historically went after private servers that you won't be the first; never assume that a AAA company won't protect its IP and brand image when the most successful private servers get too cocky with advertising and cash shop sales to the point where AAA lawyers won't find every possible avenue to RICO the fuck out of your server and ramrod lawsuits up your asshole. It has nothing to do with the developers (they've stated they like private servers), but everything to do with a company's legal team, which can change its policies and IP protection and commitment at any time.Now, I want you to rethink your post with all these in mind, which you of course knew ahead of time like the knowledgeable adult that you are. What might have you missed here? If you can't figure it out, that's okay. You can try not posting again at all. Passive aggressive sad faggot.
>>2504864Meds time.
>>2504864uh oh meltie
>>2504864>bro missed the part where ffxi private servers have never been c&d once, not ever, in the 15 years they've existed
Should I just get Shantotto II and Zeid from the Mog Pells I have?
>>2505300yeah
>>2504801no you're not and stop lying to yourself about it
>>2505499you're so right. i play a game for real men now (puzzle pirates)
>>2505499>Everyone knows about the nobodies I'm obsessed with! Everyone!!
>>2486292Playing retail. Game was working just fine this afternoon. Logged out to go eat dinner, came back and now the game won't boot at all from the FFXI shortcut. When I try to open PlayOnline Viewier I get the error message:>PlayOnline Viewer installation cannot write to specified destination folder.>Please check your access privileges.How do I fix this? I haven't changed anything since last booting the game a couple hours ago. This is absurd.
>>2505567I got that message today too, if you're using the windower fast login setting or maybe windower at all, try logging in with the vanilla client first. There was some new user agreement I had to accept and I think the windower fast login thing was trying to login without accepting it. I was able to login with windower after accepting it
>>2505300You can get SII from login points rn
>>2504864Ughh…I hate to say it but this is a full blown ‘melty.’ Coming from someone that absolutely despises the ‘melty’ spammer ITT. Please gas yourself you dumb cunt.
it's so satisfying when i post obvious bait and i'm rewarded with a fresh hot melty
What do I leapfrog to after Sparks/Bayld weapons?
Why did they put level 85-90 mobs in the top half of Dangruf Wadi
>>2505827To give people alternative places to grind
>>2505827they rushed the level cap and shit on all the old areas for no reason
>>2501494There's no way there are retarded uncs in this thread that don't understand like 15 year old now internet slang right??? retard
>>2505847>>2505843Just a bit miffed cause I found a key for the zone and looked it up and like all of the chests spawn in the north part of the zone.
>>2505797spam easy/very easy ambuscade volume 1s or the hard ambuscade vol 2's for a full set of +2 ambu gearor atleast that was the path for the past few years I think there's new ilvl RSE gear thats out or coming out or something built of newfags to catch up? im just returning myself not sure of the details
>>2505581I only use the vanilla client. I heard some talk that it can happen if you install on an external drive, so I reinstalled on my main OS drive and it seems to have fixed it.
as much as I loved XI, my time with it was very miserable, being told to "go look at the wiki" all the time was frustrating, so I gave up, more power to people who continue to play this. To me the game has no real sense of community, which is why I play MMO's, I wish XI captured that feeling.
>>2505028didn't old Era/Nasomi shut down because they were trying to RMT K-Clubs or some shit?
>>2506140nah he was just bored and sick of running it
acting like everything is safe because Square Enix never cared about private servers before is erroneous reasoning. Nintendo doesn't care about all the harmless fan projects they shut down, either, but their legal team is bored and needs justification for existing. Right now, SE is going through a lot of turmoil, as is the climate of global trade and business in general. Nothing lasts forever. Nothing stays the same. I'm saying something WILL happen to private servers any time soon, but it is flat out wrong to believe nothing can happen to them.
>>2506171not saying*
>>2506171As far as I am aware, the only server right now who is breaching SE's IP completely is CatsEye. They're selling merch based on XI mobs. So If there's any legal reason to shut down a server, they would be the first, plus Carver is a faggot anyway.
>>2506171i'm not saying that SE will never ever touch private servers, i just don't see it happening without any motion for an official classic XI server, which might as well be a pipe dream
>>2506171horizon lost
>>2505893Slang isnt English it's retardation, retard. Kill yourself 9 times Chudsky
I made a cat and walked in to a big tower while killing mobs, and this thing keeps going up...
Is it possible to solo swing the results of campaign in WOTG zones at 99 ilvl? I want to see some of the advanced campaign ops but they require northlands being under allied control and shit
>>2506331newfags witnessing delkfutt sovl for the first time.....we're so back boomerbros...
>>2506402Shut up anon, I must post about how bad [private server] is compared to [my private server]!!!!!!
Phoenix (Retail) is poppin'
free login ends 1 hour 20 minutes time to pay up gaijin
>>2506331that area is fairly iconic, it was the ff11 stage in stranger of paradise.
>>2506178Boo fucking hoo every private server mmorpg enables donations and cash shops. Players can support CEXI however they want while Horizon hides RMT under the table and atom0s funnels money to his patreon.
>>2506171except no one said any of this lol. we just said it's just highly unlikely. you're arguing with the voices in your head because you're too retarded and direction brained to understand a conversation that isn't in black and white. take your meds melty man
>>2506310>chudsky
i'm still logged in but i'm scared to zone from sandy in case the servers notice I'm not supposed to be here
>>2506140Era is still around, Nasomi was one guy running his own server with very limited help while stealing code from other servers. I think Nasomi is still running but it has like 20 people on it.
itt: a bunch of npd sufferers who can't fathom that square enix/anons have no idea who they are or who their favorite twitch streamer is
>>2507538atom0s is wiccaan, he sells fantasy fisher and clipper and also develops ashita
>>2507821oh and XIclaim
>>2507691is that where aerec got all his ideas for running a server? he stole his name from the real aerec on retail and scared away the very limited help. maybe he wants all the middle eastern oil prince money for himself since sandniggers are buying horizon gil at retarded prices
>>2507834>aerec stealing his name>phoenix stealing retail server nameyiiikes private server devs be original challenge: impossible
>>2507821If you pay for those you are retarded
>>2501894p-please respond
>>2508057all the private server schizos use ashita, sorry bruv
>>2508804:(
>>2508907you are better off asking in game, finding a linkshell or something. this thread is quite literally a wasteland of degeneracy. there's maybe 3 people here and they are all private server devs seething over each other. if you aren't saying one of the magic nobody names that triggers a melty, your post doesn't exist to them
>>2507538ok? they're still profiting of SE's IP retard. that's the point of this discussion. XI is still an active IP to this day, it's been so for the last 24 years. So if SE decides to C&D your favorite 2007 simulator then boo fucking hoo you're going back to retail with the rest of them. god you private server fags are insufferable and take carvers dick out your mouth, he's not going to give you a free k-club.
>>2509055Apparently XIView is partially compatible so I'll just try that out.
>>2486292I know you can level every job on a single character but given it's age should I assume juggling a bunch of jobs early in the game is a bad idea? Since there's weapon proficiency and the like I feel like I'm met to commit to something early, but I'm torn between a lot of jobs.Is it reasonably safe to swap around a lot or should I suck it up and pick something to stick with until endgame?
>>2509410Leveling up in retail is really easy these days with all the Records of Eminence and EXP rings you get access to. You should absolutely level up other jobs for your sub so you get access to their job traits and spell list, if they are a spellcaster.
>>2506186What's really different about the game from classic though? There are a lot of quality of life features added to retail but what's stopping you from just ignoring them and playing slowly with your pals?It's not like WoW where entire chunks of the game and story have been removed or changed. Everything is still there, there's just more shit on top of it that you can choose to ignore.
>>2509421I guess one aspect I was worried about is the existence of the weapon proficiency stats, I forget what it's called. What if I lock in on using a Greatsword while leveling a job but then decide I want to swap to something using a spear? Will that add a new layer of grind or does that go by quickly too?
>>2509426Eh it's quick enough and if you log in right now I think you can still get the Jubilee Ring which boosts your skill rate by 100%. Also you can buy skill books from the RoE currency vendor so it's not that awful honestly.
>>2509446Cool, thanks. The Jubilee Ring just works by wearing it, right? It doesn't need to be casted like the Echad?
>>2509460Nope its just active while equipped.
>>2509467Cheers.
>>2509460It's bugged to be only active in the ring1 or left ring slot and no back slot equipped.https://www.bg-wiki.com/ffxi/Jubilee_Ringhttps://www.playonline.com/ff11us/polnews2/news27683.html
>>2507933No one in ffxi private server scene has done anything original.
>>2509510Good to know.
>>2509085no one playing 75 era private servers are "going back to retail" lmao. that's high key cope. if private servers went down, (which, they probably won't, because square enix has no real reason to waste their time noticing them) the players would move on to different games or just lesser known servers.
>>2509422the entire community vibe is different, because there is no community reliance in retail, and the botting/cheating/multiboxing is so blatant that it's expected. there's no economy. but sure theoretically you can just, never do level cap 75, ignore all bonus chests and books, and find 18 other people to play a group ironman together doing the exact same thing, held together with verbal agreements, i guess, that's totally doable and possible for the socially inept jackasses of ffxi
>>2509574Sounds like old FFXI was kinda shit and the part you're nostalgic for is forced socialization. I mean have you ever considered that maybe there are people who already have friends and just want to play the game together instead of with randoms and not have to spend years grinding everything? And is it really so bad that someone who has no interest in multiplayer in general might be enthralled with FFXI's vibes and story?People who act like multiplayer and socializing is the ONLY thing noteworthy about MMOs are bizarre to me. If the underlying game isn't good why bother? You can join chat rooms if all you want to do is talk to strangers. If the game is good then there are bound to be people that want to experience it alone and that's fine.
>>2507961he sells them and develops eliteAPI.DLL and the other one that go into cureplease and APradar, and his private server .dll files are the only ones that work on horizon and catseye and he might paywall them
>>2509426only magic really sucks to skill up theres food for skilling up melee/magic and you'd just go afk on uragnites at 99 for an hour and come back and koru moru died, and apurere died, and you got 200 health left
>>2510150theres plenty of other games like this too. Everquest(Legends), M&M, Adrullan, Pantheon, etc. Seems like everyone on Horizon would rather solo than join an exp party. I leveled my war/mnk solo to 30 without a single party invite. The server's jank code made it easy.Retail is worse, with everyone merc'ing, just buy gil and pay someone else to get you what you want. No need for a linkshell, just get geared up to bis and not know how to do shit, like everyone else on Asura.
>>2510390All the noobs are on Phoenix and it's kind of nice.
>>2510150then go play any of the hundreds of indie friendslop games that are released monthly, dickhead
>>2510394Playing on a smaller server is nice. Odin is full of nips who are geared to the tits and only group with other nips, and elitist fuckhards who just run their bots overnight like they stopped giving a shit years ago.
>>2510419Yeah it's been good just seeing people run around the lowbie zones, asking questions in assist chat. Hell the economy is starting to reactivate and stuff like fetich parts are moving.
>>2510390but Horizon has mercs...
>>2510423theyll all burn out when they hit 99 and find out they're barred from actually doing anything interesting unless they spend 8 months solo griding rema
>>2510608>Congraturation on finarry getting mythic weapon, now magian trials to 99 is your path and then 119 and then R-15, each time more expensiveCongraturation on getting empyrean weapon now upgrade path magian trialsOh no your BIS weapon is now some shitty sword from ambuscade and a kraken club
>>2504864Look up Warmane, Russians are absolutely safe from CnD but they're also faggots so w/e
>>2510608The most interesting part is getting to 99 thougheverlybeit
>>2510150Even back in the 2000's, if you weren't big on the community aspect of FFXI then you were better off playing PSO or Diablo 2.
>>2511118>Sitting in escha zitah for like 3 hours and then steam rolling maat and the taru with trusts>interesting
>>2511118>>2511165All the 75+ limit break quests are shit (literally), what were they thinking? I wish they'd go back and redo them.
>>2511077Russians were also one of the first to make FF11 private servers that all these other private servers are derived from.
>>2511077Wasn't Turtle also Russian? Blizz got them so anything is possible.
>>2511913Turtle was in Kazakhstan i think, and it was the RICO charges against American developers that got it. The only people who made Turtle not shit were Americans, and they did work for free. Shenna didn't pay them.
>>2511926>do pserver work for the love of the game>get RICO'd for your troubles That's rough.
>>2511926AFKcraft was out of Hong Kong, and the Chinese government took care of it on behalf of Microsoft. Servers were in France/Germany so those were easy enough.
FF XIfags act like they play the most hardcore and difficult MMO ever but any time I open up some stream of the game it's 1 faggot multiboxing an entire party steam rolling everythingHow hard can the game fucking be if you can literally script a party and still win LMFAO
>>2511964idk maybe play the game for yourself instead of watching high level multiboxers who have been playing the game for 20 years and know every facet of it style on the game.
>>2511964it's not plug and play, this guy geared each of his characters, he has an idris maxed out on his geomancer, his bard is REMA, not one of them, all of them, his WHM has a yagrush, his SAM/NIN/WAR/DRK/BLU is fully BIS, and all the other characters exist just to fluff him up so he can murder shit.
How tedious was Summoner to unlock back in the day when internet wasn't fast enough to have the game running and also watch videos? Did everyone just go clean the house while they were waiting for Heat Waves?
>>2512118Many people just treated their linkshells as a chatroom regardless back then so they'd just hang out, but you could have played a GBA or PSP while you waited.
>>2512118You could get a port to yhoator or altepa, 99% of the time a heat wave was in one of those two zones if there was one. Someone might have called it out in a social linkshell.
>>2512020>this guy geared each of his characterswhich means nothing because you can pay for clears
>>2512474Ah that makes sense, would make the wait a lot easier just to shoot the shit>>2512500I've been in Altepa since last night and have only seen dust storms.
>>2511913who the fuck cares? take it to a wow thread pissbaby
>>2512828How about you read the reply chain you fucking retarded faggot.
>>2512118does any private server has stuff like fire weather working in valkurm? it's definitely easier now though because of sites that let you track weather by daySMN was kind of the meme job anyway, sure it was good end game and in CoP but hard to level and shit like BLM was so strong that a lot of people just didn't level it.
>>2512513alright theres a chart on one of the wikipedias that shows you what days they're going to happen(https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/ffxi/images/6/62/Weather_Intensity.png/revision/latest?cb=20110425110810), depending on the server you can also look up the weather, i know catseye does it but i dont know if all of the servers are synced to the same clock. if you do a /clock you'll see what day it is and what month in game and you'd compare it to this chart and see what kind of chances you got.
>>2512985summoner did a lot of cool shit and they have access to the highest burst damage abilities in the game, it was so retarded SE had to nerf AFAC for most bosses and ambuscade fights. summoner can just spam 99,999 flaming crush over and over on retail
>>2513096>>2512985Some guy in the phoenix assist chat is saying Meriphataud is getting fire weather at around 10pst so gonna try my luck there
>>2512865sorry, i'm here to read about ffxi not wow. now go back to dreaming about eating roaches off asmongold's beard
>>2513180>sorry, i'm here to readno, you're here to bitch about comments you're not involved in like a little faggot, instead of doing what a normal person would do and just ignoring it you decided to engage JUST SO YOU COULD BE A FAGGOT.faggot.
>>2513103pet jobs got gutted. The 1hr spam that turned them into actual jobs got raped so now they can only do damage every 15 sec meanwhile every other job is doing that every 1 sec + damage + sc easyPretty sure now it's only used for cait sith TP cheese
>>2513312hey i couldn't tell from your comment, so if you could just clarify, im not really sure i understand, do you think im a faggot? thanks
>>2506402I had only dabbled in XI for a bit when I was younger because my parents didnt want to pay a subscription for a ps2 game
So now that retail is having this big resurgence will we get a new mid-sized xpac/update?
>>2513373they're slowly teasing that they're ramping up for one but they're doing it in such a slow motion way I think they don't want to get people's hopes too high. imo another "Voracious Resurgence" is definitely on the table
>>2513799Oh yeah I don't expect anything crazy and it's probably good to not mention too much.
>>2513180DAMN BITCH you got rekt by >>2513312
>>2513799I was promised no new expansions years ago. The game's dead, Jim. Don't even make a classic server, it wouldn't be the same. Just bury this turd.
Was able to unlock Titan and Shiva today with the level 20 versions of the fights. Titan I sort of fought fairly by just blasting his ass with Water and chugging pots and ethers while just tanking his hits with Barstone + Protect while Carbuncle just poison nailed on CD. Shiva I couldn't get more than halfway since her frost armor would just delete me and Carbuncle with frost armor. I found a post saying you could just cheese her (and every 20 summon) with Poison Nails and running back and forth through the arena while resummoning Carbuncle and then repeating until dead. Apparently she was the most annoying one looking at the old guides so hoping I can have more fair fights with the rest.
Just here to comment, Witcher 3 is getting a new expansion in 2027. Lmao. FFXI hasn't gotten one since 2013.
>>2514034why? because he had a melty? lmao ok
>>2514803Uh yeah? Dead game bro? Time to bury the past and move on ole buddy. You didn't think SE would keep maintaining this MMO in perpetuity... right? You may have invested thousands of hours at this point, but at the end of the day, all that matters to SE is the bottom line.
We used to have psychotic namefagging, and now we have samefagging.
>>2514947????
you'll just mention some random job here and some schizo will talk about how useful/less it is for fafnir, another will talk about some random patch of time it was shit, another will mention how it broke x private server and they have an irrational hatred for it, and then another will talk about how good it is in retail with their setup of 5 support botsyeah you're all miserable and deserve each other
>>2515633Meds time
>>2515677Uh oh melty I didn't mention some random in your clique?
>>2515275>why isn't SE making an expansion for my 20 year old mmo that has a dwingling playerbase>'look!! witcher 3 is getting an expansion!! where's my expansion, SE?'This is what you sound like.>>2515633How useful a job is at fafnir is representative of how useful that job is almost everywhere else. >b-but my BST can solo despot a-and sometimes I get iolites in attohwa chasmNo one cares. If you're not doing endgame what are you doing playing this game? The game is solved. We don't need to entertain timmy who thinks his DRK75/THF37 is gods gift to DPS.
>>2514947Thousands? Keep going, those are amateur numbers. My main account has like 12 years of play time on it. Not all of that is afk playtime.
>>2515824Fafnir is easy mode. In order to hang, you need gear sets. Fafnir can be low manned with a group and a solid white mage.
>>2513327Summoners can just do volt strike to FC and that's 99999 to 99999 to 99999 light, we've done ambuscade like this before on VD so we wouldn't have to MMM/cuijatender after every fight. It's like RUN + GEO + 4x summoners and that setup works about 25% of the fights. Dimidiation to FC also does 99999 + 99999 light and I've 3 manned old content for money drops this way
>>2515824??????? I just found it funny that Witcher 3 was getting an expansion.
i hope when Phoenix finally releases it's nice and dead so i don't have to play it with a bunch of queefs
>>2516784It's already out anon. I have 2 friends and we're playing through the stories already. Leveling isn't too bad. Could use a 4th if you want in.
>>2516796He means the private server that's releasing this year because they weren't creative enough to name it something else.
>>2515180what if i told you the namefag is the samefag
>>2514947just fyi my childhood account had over a year of playtime on it (~9000hrs) in 2010 and that's not counting my alts or private server accounts, ffxi is another level of autism you neurotypicals will never grasp
>>2515824Timmy can play with us, he sounds fun and like he enjoys playing the game, unlike you
>>2516827What a weird thing to be upset about
>>2516827Oh my bad anon. That's confusing.
>>2516860how do the ffxi autists compare to the pso1 autists?
>>2516912Only if you have substandard intelligence
>>2516952Everyone does on 4chan you moran.
>>2516952"substandard intelligence" here means "isn't fully informed on my personal schizophrenic obsessions: the pheonix private server, aerec, and all the women who refused to suck my dick"
>>2516844it's just me and some guy in this thread who has an omnidirectional personality and likes replying to himself as someone else, but actually, himself.
>>2517042Are you him?
>>2517051I am not.
>>2516827it's the Phoenix server(#6)Why not name it something cool like Iroha?
>>2517059Iroha isn't in classic and she isn't an e-girl streamer so she basically doesn't exist to these people
if it wasn't obvious, best girl edition
>>2516988No one cares about your schizo diary. But if you can't take 5 seconds to google something and another 10 seconds to quickly realize the two are different - you likely have substandard intelligence and this conversation is above your head.
>>2517099>best girlthis is a strange costume for lilisette
>>2517132it's really not that deep to mix up 2 servers with the exact same name, especially with one being an illegal pirate version and not even released yet.
>>2517136Right. Yeah. It's not hard to be unable to juggle simple concepts if you have substandard intelligence.
>>2517144>simple conceptslike the one you are missing right now?
wait, take a deep breath melty man
>>2517134it's because lilisette is the side girl, and iroha is the best girl.
>>2517160Uh oh melty
Phoenix is deadThere is only Iroha
>>2517224define succubus
shut the fuck up alaris
Who?
>>2517600please stop schizoposting about your ex
went back to retail after not playing for over a decade and it actually feels nice, not sure why I was playing half-baked private servers. also SE confirmed XI is going to be getting content for another 6 years with new zones too. that's pretty exciting to hear. :D good luck to those of you on private servers.
>>2518141shut the fuck up alaris
not sure what's changed if my internet is better or if their servers have improved but I haven't disconnected since the free login ended. Usually I would disconnect at least 1 time every play session and then there was a 50% chance I'd d/c if I left the client open overnight
>>2518281You literally cannot help yourself, Winter. Meds time.
>>2518241I haven't played since 2022 and I'd be going back just to immediately have to update my +3 armor to +4 and remake my empyrean sets. I'm tired boss. 6 more years of carrot chasing?

>>2518553Stay sad and mad Winter :)
>>2518553Shouldn't you be coding Phoenix instead of crying about Alaris rejecting you two years ago, Winter?
>>2518806So mad you have to samefag huh? melty time for the autistic slut. No wonder your HNM linkshell talks so much trash about you to everyone in EGLS
brooo horizon is COOKED
Man, we got so far before someone had a schizo melty too...
>>2518901at this point I wouldnt bee shocked if they just never release an update again and shut the server down
the bugs on horizon just keep getting worse, feels like the server is held together with duct tape and everyone is just ignoring it
>>2519023I think people are just waiting for the new servers to drop at this point.
>>2519023can't let those 4 relics per account go to waste

drg doesn't really feel like a "pet job" in retail its a heavy dd with a bonus sidekick. triply so if you have a prime

>>2523847the wyvern is just a TP battery that exists to provide some white DD and takes your 21% WSD job trait and adds 10% on top of that. >>2523944you can pay some shitters to farm you one if you just attach your credit card to your gil buying account and let'er'rip
>>2524046I havent bought gil ever tho...
Whats the best fish bot currently working for private servers? I'm going to fish bot this time around on Kipling's new server so I can compete in sweaty-ness with him and bliven and birdy
>>2486292I know positions on your character select screen are decided by date of creation (aka if you make two characters that second character will always be slot 2 even if you delete your slot 1 character and make a new one) but if you use the server transfer feature on your second character while your first slot is empty, will it still be in slot 2? Or will it move down to slot 1?I know this is stupid but I'm autistic to just humor me.
sorry bro but what does your post have to do with randomly namedropping literal whos then samefagging pretending to be someone else that has wronged you in some way?
>>2523092Ifrit kind of just got shit on, didn't even have to kite him and Levi kind of just fell over and if he healed himself I didn't notice. Garuda actually almost got me on my first attempt but I was able to squeak it out.
>>2524090Fantasy Fisher works well on horizon
>>2523944just wait 5 years when they make it easier to get what kind of autist farms REMA close to release
>>2524185sounds good to me
>>2523944Sortie is genuinely the most painful 'content' ever released in this game, what the fuck. I'd rather do 10 old dynamiis a week than do that every day>also you farm fucking izzat in the other daily contentlollll retail chuds...?
>>2524090fantasy fisher needs atom0s's special private server DLL files to work, otherwise it only works on retail. You have to join his discord to get them iirc
>>2524295theres probably people who cheese the hell out of it, i haven't ever done sortie though i quit right as it came out. Everyone thought vagary was hard too but we had low man groups having less trouble than full NA raid groups were.
I know this is subjective but does XI have fun combat at max level? I'm in the 70s level range playing on retail and it's not really fun at the moment, but also the trusts are kinda doing everything for me.
>>2524504Eventually the trusts really can only do mid tanking and buffing and its all on you. before you hit ilvl trusts are basically just better than you as a player
Are there any variety of "Ultimate" weapon/armor I can reasonably farm for solo in retail?
>>2524562Relic is mega easy to get to ilvl 119. Just farming.Mythics take a lot of work but is doableEmpyreans and Ergons take a lot of money relatively, since farming HMP and HP Bayld is not really feasible imoAeonics and Prime weapons need a group
>>2524586Cool. It's not that I never want to play with people but I like my alone time and enjoy knowing there is content to work towards on both sides.
>>2524350honestly it's more that you have to do it every day. Then, there's annoying things like the random lootbox earrings. It just gets very repetitive especially since you're just going to do the same route when in there. The only randomness is a mob or teleporter spawning in a different area>>2524504If you're melee, it won't be fun until you can solo SC and stuff. Do not get Naegling as you just spam savage blade, pretty much any other weapon will be more fun
>>2524586bot farming HMP is so easy during bot farming HMP events. I got a friend who just sets up with his trusts, auto trades, pops Aello with two alts, kills it in one hit with his avatar, and loots the chest, he can farm stacks of HMPs every night as long as he has stones.
Just do Ambuscade and get a Naegling. It's literally a pocket REMA that over half the melee jobs in the game can use. It's just an overall busted as fuck weapon and SE refuses to nerf it. Lmao. No point to do REMA's when you can just get a weapon from Ambuscade that's just as powerful. I'm talking to retail folks. Private people, this doesn't apply to you.
>>2524562My comment was meant for this chatter.
Fresh 99 hereI can solo N AmbuscadeIs there anything I should make absolutely sure to get before the month turns over? Playing DRK and RUN currently before I branch out to a 3rd job in SCH
I swore I was gonna quit after last time but I'm gonna end up trying Phoenix. I'll never move on from this stupid game.
Does Square Enix still ban RMT buyers? Was seriously considering dropping $50 to be able to finish my Empyrean instantly because heavy metal plate farming looks like giga AIDS
>>2525433Yeah same but Phoenix looks like it’ll be a good time
>>2525447SE doesn't ban anyone anymore. There's a guy who posts a bot on every single server where he has an entire group for each server and all he does is carry people to 2100 JPs, sell the gil, the carrys buy the gil, he gets paid. he's been doing this for 10 years, doubt he's ever been banned. SE doesn't give a fuzzy shit, this guy pays them like $3000 a month in sub fees.
>>2525447Given that you can't go 12 steps without seeing hordes of people running scripted multibox setups I highly doubt it unless you show up one day with 3 completed REMAs pulled out of your ass in your linkshell parties
>>2525447And what are you gonna do with that weapon that's any better than the farm for it? This is a 20+ year old MMO, the grind is the point.
>>2525504>And what are you gonna do with that weapon that's any better than the farm for it?Get into actual group content instead of having to afk V2N 50000 times to make any progress on anything or money
>>2525447I'm not going to be the first to tell you but 85-90 isn't finished, you still got cinders/dross, 10,000 riftboulders, and then you get to R15 it
>>2525511$50 gets me like 80m which is enough on my server
>>2525522you aint getting banned for buying gil. You could go on their website and report yourself the special task force won't do shit.
>3* master rank player joins my LS for newfags>Claims he's a returning player>Has no idea how ambuscade works or how the primers work>Runs into every VD fight without allowing the COR time to buff100% bought account, right?
>>2486292Buddy of mine recently bought the game on Steam and when he loaded it up for the first time it was full-screen but letterboxed to 4:3 without stretching. how the fuck do I do that? I've fiddled with the settings to no avail. Surely it's not some special Valve thing.
>>2525774config launcher
>>2525808I'm aware of the config launcher but can't find a setting for letterboxing. the fullscreen and borderless options just stretch to fill my display.
>>2524128Nobody knows anything about this huh?
Beat 5-2, was pretty fucking kino honestly. Gonna work on doing my limit breaks next.
>>2525774You should be able to use either Ashita or Windower and set up the "Aspect" addon/plugin. That should solve your issue. Vanilla XI launcher is just very outdated. You can also go in-game and set your aspect Ratio, I think it's in Misc 2 or 3 and should be able to set your in-game aspect as well. Hope this helps.
>>2526119i think it's hilarious that RoZ instantly retcons the 5-2 CS after the fight
>>2526283>You should be able to use either Ashita or Windower and set up the "Aspect" addon/pluginiirc it is the "config" addon that auto setups up the aspect ratio on ashita
>>2526467The zilart bros were always planned as villains
>>2525822you have to fiddle with resolution settings in game and in config. there's a place you can set ui resolutions separately as well.
>>2525959your question makes no sense. all the characters are in the same list regardless of server. this isn't ffxiv
>>2525715idk every time i come back after dipping out for a few years it takes me a minute to remember how to play lol
>>2526806maybe I'm just skeptical because I havent played since the 75 era and yet even I remembered most of the shit I did up to the pre 75 stuff as soon as I logged back in on a new character
>>2526718How does it not make sense? This game is ancient, and the fact that the characters are sorted the way they are is proof of that. Old databases work in funny ways.I'm not asking if characters on different servers are sorted separately, I'm asking if transferring one will "reset" it and thus populate the first slot available. I don't expect people to have experience with this but don't answer my question with assumptions unless you've done the exact scenario I'm talking about.
>>2526933do it and report back.
>>2525715hard to know when the used-to-be-hard but is now faceroll content ends and the actual game begins in modern mmos
>>2526944No.
>>2526283>>2526710I think you are fundamentally misunderstanding what I'm talking about.
>>252686175 era was easy mode. i only play 3-4 jobs per character and the gear i use between those jobs(and jobs i don't play but use situationally for blue procs or whatever) takes up 8 mog wardrobes. If i started back up I'd spend the first week or so rewriting my gearswap luas and remaking all of my macros. I can still remember how to play for the most part.
>>2526973are you playing this on like crossover or something? Windower is plug and play.
>>2526986My dude both are fresh installs with no third party software.
>>2526979I don't think understanding how records of eminence work is very hard to understandbut this guy took like literally 15 minutes to figure out how to accept the primer and then another 10 minutes to ask what enemies counted
>>2527011maybe he's just special? or maybe he bought his account, whichever.
Is there any worthwhile reason to have a second character?
>>2527034MultiboxingMuling
I spent like 200k gil on retail buying the austere pieces from the AH by converting sparks to gil and now I need to grind more sparks in case I see the boots go up.
>>2527077the legs and boots don't give you anything, the austere set is just a few seconds of BP delay reduction and that's it. at max level and with capped summoning magic the SU3 set gives you a bunch of summoning magic skill which makes some of your avatar buffs last longer and can bump your favor into a higher tier which isn't all that useful.
>>2527034basically everyone who plays endgame has a single dps character and multiple fluffers to make his PP big and hard for when he goes in for the money shot. If you have a bard box you can have it just stand there with cureplease open and maintain 5 song with no other inputs. You can have a corsair just stand there with the roller addon and no other inputs and maintain double 11s You can have a geomancer using cureplease maintain two bubbles and pull with Dia 2 so his offensive bubble hits the mob, and then using a haste trust like koru moru your samurere will have the biggest penis possible for which to fucc
>>2527159Yeah but there wasn't really any decent gear upgrades for me from the sparks vendors and I had literally nothing else to spend the gil on, even if I end up replacing it in a few days or a week it's still been nice.
>>2527206for summoner use your AF legs and feet, you'll end up making all of your AF anyways to upgrade later on and that stuff goes from 50s to 109 to 119(+1) to +2 to +3 to +4 or just skip it and level/do your limit break quests. try and unlock voidwatch and abyssea as soon as possible so you start getting stones, i think you can do voidwatch at 75 or maybe sooner. Someone can just boost your ass to 99 in an hour if you got a cool friend.
>>2527051>>2527199I do not care about playing multiple characters. If there is content I cannot find a party for I will simply not play it.So it sounds like the only purpose to an alt is storing items.
>>2527257My friend and I are playing on fresh characters since he only ever played Horizon and wants to actually do all the story content for XI. AF is the next thing on my list once I get my LBs out of the way and we start Zilart.
>>2527265>If there is content I cannot find a party for I will simply not play it.enjoy progressing at 1/12th the speed of people who multibox ig
>>2527265you will find that you only have enough room for a few jobs on one character to store your gear. those 8 mog wardrobes fill up pretty quick.
>>2527278this is what I dont understand about why combat DD trusts are so weakthe game already incentivizes you to play solo but with 5 "unofficial" trusts in the form of scripted botsso why not just buff trusts a LITTLE
>>2527278I don't care.
Is there any precedent for a world server opening back up after previously closing due to overpopulation?I left Bahamut to join my friend who just started but I kinda want to go back if it ever opens back up. Just wondering if that's worth considering or if I have to accept being in Phoenix forever.
>>2527278Why stop at multiboxing? If efficiency is all that matters why not just program bots to play for you and never even look at the game?
>>2527338many people do
>>2527328phoenix is about to surpass bahamut in activity anyway
Who do I even use as a tanking trust once Valaineral starts to fall off? Trion and Curilla are my only other two tank trusts.
>>2527399Val actually became one of the best trusts because of his AoE cures. You'd probably try to tank yourself a bit or use EV with him
>>2527439I see, I'll keep that in mind once I get to that point.
>>2527399valaineral is BiS in every scenario except areas where you don't want to get AoE aggro
I full expect a new job within the next 3 years. I will keep sniffing copium until Chemist happens
>>2527616>new job: Chemist>A- in ThrowingMite B Cool
I have just completely stopped getting skill ups on my enfeebling skill, it's been stuck at 38 forever.
>>2527295they don't have to be strong. Play a black mage with iroha and tenzen 2 and they will just nonstop fusion/light with each other, just MB fire 6
>>2527399Alright. AAHM is a ninja, he has 2 swords, and will fuck up every skillchain you ever try to make. He can tank extremely well and hold hate. AAEV is a paladin and a strong one, her hate holding ability is up there. Amchuchu is a rune fencer, and she's one of the best tanks at holding agro.
>>2527949The Ninja does not concern himself with making skillchains
>>2527963he can basically solo Crom Dubh so that's his redeeming feature i guess. I wish he'd use more CDC and less swift blade
>>2527772okay I am retarded according to the wiki subjobs don't get skill-ups at all even if they let you have that specific magic skill and access to that spell
>>2527278just playing a game instead of rushing through it to end it as soon as possible? the horror. unthinkable
>>2527295because then you only buy one subscription. why would square enix deny themselves of 5 more subscriptions from you
Doing Rhapsodies and Zilart concurrently is funny because it just seems like Gilgamesh is larping with the pirate talk and then in the next cutscene he's speaking normally.
>Got a quest where I have to party with another player fitting a certain description and bring them to the prince of San d'OriaWhat the FUG

>>2529814i think he's talking about progressing at endgame. if you don't give a shit about endgame progression and are only playing for the story quests, you can do it all solo. >>2529998you get to play the role of Lady Ghislaine as she scrounges up some action for Andrew
>>2530438Don't besmirch the good name of Prince Trion you churlish knave!
>>2530014i won't even play this old piece of shit game on a 60% keyboard and you're trying to use this bop-it controller? wheres the twisty nozzle? This thing looks like an autism society approved stim toy. Hold on, don't buff yet, i gotta flick my jiggermanigger.
Have been away. Are you guys still gassing up Phoenix? Is Horizon still losing players?
>>2530014just, why? the game is optimized for playing with just keyboard or just controller. the entire mouse pad is worthless because if you play this game with mouse you are a certified psycho
>>2530661>you guysit's literally one guy and he just replies to himself. but thankfully some zoomers started playing on the real pheonix retail server and they've been talking about the actual game for once. pretty exciting, no schizo meltdowns over nobody losers in a clique none of us care about for like 1 entire day!
>>2530661Horizon has been losing players slowly for years bro. Theres just no other alternatives until September
>>2530835until faggots like this one here starts drama posting again
>>2530661Still losing players. Aerec has to continue turning up the bot count to maintain the population #
>>2530661Yeah Phoenix still looks good and horizon is still just treading water. No TOAU date for Horizon yet after almost 5 years. Phoenix momentum combined with Zenith momentum both releasing this year are probably going to kill any steam horizon has left by next year. Wouldn’t be shocked if it’s shut down like wings
Thank god it's schizo hours, no more retail talk
>>2531398Phoenix just needs a good marketing strategy.
SoA jobs dont benefit from the I-Seal campaign right?>
>have to wait DAYS to progress the zilart story, burning sub time>holy sovl.....
>>2531465Like what?
it has been 0 days since our last pheonix schizospam :(
Holy FUCK the first Escha zone in retail on Phoenix is so fucking crowded.
>>2530086It's just a keyboard but tiny. Not as goofy to set up as a controller. It has WASD and it has arrow keys.>>2530473>>2530823The point is keeping keyboard controls but in a form factor that I can comfortably rest my wrists in my lap instead of being hunched over my desk.
>>2531436What else is there to talk about? There's nothing to be said about a solved game that people want to play an even more solved version of other than drama baiting over server pop.
Don't even care about pserver drama, I started xi on horizon and retail sounds like a lonely bot hellscape from what I'm reading.
>>2531953Lots of folks are trying it out and playing. It's great from the new player perspective.
>>2531984It’s “great” until you realize you need to pay for 6 subscriptions and run bots to do anything. If you can figure out the god awful install and account set up system first
>>2531994Or you play with other new folks like the rest of us...
>>2531953Sorry, I'm new. Meant to reply to >>2531792
>>2531994>no no no you don't understand I NEED to cheat!lol whatWhat do you do on your boomer private server then? Isn't it even less solo friendly?
>>2531994>to do anythingor just socialize and be normal and you can get groups to do content with. I know a lot to ask from this thread
>>2531628pay ninja to come play there

>>2532075this is a joke right? >it's different! I grew up with it not being a bad word reeeee!!
>>2532040Ain't no way. Ninja is buddies with Aerec, he would never publicly play another private server.
>>25320622006*you can find 4chan via google you fucking clown now honk your nose for me
>>2532460They type retard instead of nigger, nigger.
>>2532522why not just call somebody a knob gobbler? a turd warbler? a spunk trumpet?
>I use normie but I get upset at retardCan this retard shut up
>>2532584t. Normie
I didn't realize people actually gave a shit about Ninja playing on the server.
>>2532669They don’t
>>2531984It's fun until you realize that you could group as a new player, but the exp bonuses make it impossible, along with trusts invalidating the point besides roleplay. Again, real glad I went pserver.
>>2532784Also funny you said "great for new player experience" but they're not even playing real XI until 99 levels in. Trusts aren't the real game, neither is all the speed or exp boosts. Yeah, it's super cool for all the boomers who think they're too old for the existence of private servers cause they have a job now, or whatever, but it's soulless. God I wish Japanese companies did official private servers. But then again the retail xi fanbase have the same mentality of "You think you want it, but you don't" that Blizz had which is pathetic. My bad, had an autism melty.
>>2532669Every time he plays somewhere the population jumps by 1,000.
>>2533138Literally not true wings never broke 1k people lmao
>>2532522you saw a news article in 2006 about the evil website where you can post bad words and unfortunately left /b/ thinking you were "more mature" but you're still a /b/tard so please go back where you belong
>>2532813every private server is literally age 40+ neets who think theyre the coolest for getting a relic because they couldn't get one 20 years agooh and raging/no lifing over hnm claims
prepubescent edgelord syndrome persisting at age 40+ is unironically normie in 2026 due to the lead addling your feeble gen x skulls
>>2533463I don't care what it is, at least I'm actually playing the game. May not be exactly the same, but a lot better than retail when it comes to dev vision.
>>2533510It really is. Volunteer private server bullshit is 1000x better than whatever the fuck retail has been doing since abyssea
>>2533289Nasomi and Eden did but only after Ninja started playing there.
>>2533602Private servers are better for 2 reasons, one is they actually ban cheaters, and the other is they hunt down and ban RMT. 75 era content has been solved for 20 years now, nothing is new or hard, and every time you play it's the exact same shit.
>>2533642It may be the same shit but that is still light years better than whatever retail has
sup /vm/rosFriend is trying to install it, was stuck at the end of the FFXI setup for hours until he decided to restart his PC and now he's getting "There is a problem with this Windows Installer package. A program run as part of the setup did not finish as expected. Contact your support personnel or package vendor.".Is it fixable? I installed it pre coof so been a minute, not sure if I'd just waited for hours until it eventually worked or if I also ran into the error and somehow fixed it but sadly not finding anything that works. Happy for any help.
>Finishing up CoP on a replay>Realize that Yve'noile absorbing the emptiness in the chamber of eventide before dying was her way of buying time by replicating what Promathia originally did for Altana/Paradise
>>2533767retail does regular content updates, wtf does Horizon do?Like, here's your stagnant dog shit cesspool of a server, everyone has 5 relics because they nolifed the shit out of this game for years hoping it would ever get past CoP.
>>2533767Not really. At least Horizon. Barely any updates, server still runs like shit after Rebase and no ToAU in sight. Cheaters and bots are still rampant because GM team is stretched thin and protect their buds. I could go on but deep down you know it too.
>>2533642>one is they actually ban cheatersExcept for the ones that are friends with or literally devs themselves
>no free bonanza weapon this year
After playing on Horizon I'm basically convinced that the only appeal of private servers is people who want to be the "I have loot, so I am cool" people because they were not able to be those people back during the equivalent era of retail.It's definitely not the content itself because everyone expects every fight to be cleared with only the most optimal strats possible which removes any of the fun from it. Like all you hear from era slurpers>Omg FF XI is the deepest most fun MMO ever you have so many choices>Every strategy removes basically all of these choicesEvery fight is just standing around watching mages nuke shit as the 2 melee that were allowed to hit the boss make a SC or falling asleep from boredom in a Dynamis humiliation ritual for 3 hours
>>2534842Your describing sweaty HNM autists. Pop items would fix it but Horizon has AIDS now its too late. Wait for a fresh private server for peak FFXI
Does using the Jubilee ring affect skill increasing tomes as well?
>>2534842bruh it's called elitists, every mmo has themonline FFXI community was filled with them late 2000s (even though by then every content was a joke with any setup) and they'd spend time posting pictures of n00bs on BG and gatekeeping any discussion of anything to make them seem awesomethis is why you now are seeing ultra-ultra elitists that were there in like beta and now consider everything else nooby, like lvl20 aerec with his fuckass trees
>>2534842catseye is just better. Dynamis has some bard pull the entire zone, some hardass white mage healing two blue mages who melt the entire zone with aoe spells while the bard tries to sleep stun everything in between casts. Strategy? that's for the queers. This is crystal warrior strat, btw. We do this 15+ times in an hour and leave with enough currency to make maybe 1/5 of a relic, sometimes more.
>no no no you normies just don't GET IT it's not about fun gameplay or thriving communities or enjoying good writing all that matters is that I spent a really long time getting an item in bideo gaem!!!
>>2535092Phoenix has pops bros. The dream is real in September.
>WoW removes and alters old content, makes other content irrelevant, retcons the story and makes old gear useless, have to release an entirely separate version of the game because of all the shit that's gone>FFXI increases level caps, introduces new stories, new gear, new monsters, more content, smoother progression. Nothing is gone, just more things to do and less time wasted.>these are somehow the same and equally bad according to private server boomers
>>2535092>>2535513>muh kindred seals make it rightYou're still investing hundreds perhaps thousands of hours to chase that rare loot buddy, your logic is flawed.>>2534842>I have loot so I am cooluh yeah that's how every mmo has worked since forever? ain't nobody dapping up the niggas wearing greens nigga
>>2535783But I’ll actually be playing the game instead of sitting at a camp so it’s better
>>2535735Honestly I respect any developer at least somewhat for keeping old MMOs alive. Like those guys who currently own and run LOTRO and DDO, those games still existing is really important for the genre even if people pretend they don't exist. Fuck Gamigo though I hope they sell RIFT off to someone who cares about it.
>>2536188what happens when you let some European trust fund that only cares about profit dictate how a game is run?Daybreak and Gamigo are both run by such corporations who only care about the bottom line. .,
>>2536291I mean yeah that's why I clarified by saying fuck Gamigo. If that was the fate of an MMO instead of being shut down I'd rather it be dead.
>>2535735>everyone quit when they dropped Abyssea, then those people that stayed quit a few patches into Adoulin>clear to everyone that played at these times that something was horribly wrong>"no, you are all wrong"
>>2535735the problem is not anything you mentioned here, the problem is that the original game forced social interaction, and the current game does not. say what you want about it but people formed genuine real connections through final fantasy xi in the 2000s that lasted until this day. the modern game doesn't have that, there's barely any reason to interact with other players at all. "well you can do it anyway" right but you end up feeling like a burden or like you're being annoying begging for carries or something, as opposed to asking for help from your more experienced peers exactly as they had to do in the past, and now they help you. the entire community vibe is just different. maybe you like it better. thousands of us don't. that's fine, we don't all have to play on the same damn server
>>2536310Abyssea was fine. This game's peak wasn't 75 era.
>>2536554Yes, it was. That’s why the game fucking died after they changed it and they tried to make it enter EOS in 2015
>>2536486>right but you end up feeling like a burden or like you're being annoying begging for carries or somethingNow that's just some personal issues you need to sort through.Having socialization FORCED on you is an annoying burden. If you care about genuine real connections you should be looking for others who want the same thing, and if you're like-minded you'll find each other.>the entire community vibe is just different.I think you're just assuming and projecting a lot of things. I'm not even coming at this from bad faith, I just know I've seen a lot of talking and people having fun in chat all day on retail Phoenix, and I've seen lots of parties running across the maps and towns together.
>>2536574oh really? the game died? When did it die? did the publisher just forget to stop updating it several times a year since 2015? FFXI still has several tens of thousands of players. The average FFXI live server has more players than every ffxi private server put together online on average.
>>2536310>the update that happened in 2010 killed the game!Yes definitely that is absolutely why FFXI started dying in 2010, nothing else could've possibly happened to account for that.
>>2536582>Having socialization FORCED on you is an annoying burdenthat's how MMOs used to be. Still, people are going to try to solo if they can. Always have. I had a mate back in 04 who played dragoon with a mage subjob and all he did all day was solo EPs for alchemy mats and KS
>>2536310If it's "clear" that something was horribly wrong why can't you say what it is other than "you were forced to group up more"?
>>2536554>>2536593>75 cap players are so annoying!!meanwhile I put 2 dates in there, nimwitsSo why did people quit during iLvl stat vomitslop era?It's almost like making current patch content gear the only thing worth it and invalidating all content before that is fucking stupid
>>2536582i've literally played on multiple private servers, modern retail, and retail in the 2000s. i'm speaking from direct experience with all versions of the game. and lucky for you, there exists tens of thousands of other video games (including modern retail) where you can play without the "annoying" mechanic of forced socialization. why you personally need to make every other game cater to your specific whims is beyond me, but i guess i'm not a self centered narcissist so.
>>2536585now divide those players by the average number of multibox accounts online at any given time
It’s like you guys can’t read. They literally said they were trying to kill the game by introducing crazy balance to kill the game and move everyone over to FFXIV 1.0.
>>2536622now multiply it by the number of active servers that each have more population than every single ffxi pserver combined. .
>>2536585this the game thrived after abyssea!!!!!that's why 16 servers were shut down because of no people on them!!!!!!!!!!!!!! derrrrrrrp
>>2536617>there exists tens of thousands of other video gamesTell me a game with FFXI's gameplay and customization and content variety and writing that isn't an MMO.>why you personally need to make every other game cater to your specific whims is beyond meWhy are you writing fanfiction now? Why are you whining instead of going to play your wonderful private server? Surely all your friends are there waiting for you to log in and talk to them. :)
Why are you guys arguing here instead of playing the game?
>>2536822How many 24 year old games still have 100k subs?World of Warcraft and?
>>2536894What’s your excuse? Your 18 box on retail is fully automated with bots so you have time to post here?
>>2536979Why are you still writing fanfiction about online strangers?
>>2536894ff12
>>2536979i'm the one he's arguing with and im not even going to sit here and pretend that playing any iteration of this game requires more than 2 actions per minute which leaves plenty of time to schizopost on 4chan
>>2536811it's really easy to be more populated than a single-box private server when your server allows infinite boxes lol. no one's stopping you, not even square enix, so what are you even having this melty over?
>>2537548There are 12k people online on Odin right now. There are 1800 on Horizon. Even if every single person on Odin was 6 boxing it would still have more people than Horizon. You juggle sweaty homeless mens balls in your mouth.
>>2537643Wonder how many of those 12k people are fake bots put there by the devs to inflate population.........
Phoenix just got another 50 people on the discord from before! Lets goooooooooo
>>2537658Why would SE do that when they had to shut the server down because it's too populated?
>>2537676Server registration*
>>2537643>12kfake
>>2537543Good game but FF12 doesn't let me create my own character for one.
>>2537676So rubes like you believe it
>>2537818neither does ff11, catgirl model 3 face b short
>>2537829Cope.
This thread sucks. If you guys are gonna sperg out like this just make a private server thread and a retail thread.
Is it REALLY necessary to have storage mules playing retail?
I'm thinking of giving XI a try. Is there any particular plugins or add-ons you guys consider to be essential?
Only retards play ffxi.
Private Servers are just bad. I don't want to play some idiot's iteration of what they think Final Fantasy XI should be, which is what all private servers are, look at Horizon, Monk is busted as fuck and Red Mage has been nerfed. You also get in trouble for PLing people? Retarded. It was apart of the retail experience. CatsEye is also retarded because you get in trouble for using the Yell channel for anything other than selling products. Private servers are nothing but a call to the creator's ego about what their vision of XI looks like, made manifest. Phoenix will be no better. I play retail because it's the full game and it's not a broken buggy mess. That Atomos dude also has a stick in his ass. The only thing he's good for is maintaining Ashita and nothing else. Private Servers are just people larping for the days of 2007.
>>2538407then don't play on them
>>2537883windower or ashita, after that most people use mods for the UI and to add maps at a bare minimum (you have to buy maps in this game). absolutely not necessary though. depending on if you play retail or private servers you might be expected to have more complex gameplay related mods later in the game but that's a question of, what you enjoy doing and what your goals are at that point
>>2538414It just fascinates me how people rant and rave about how good Horizon is or how good CatsEye is, and I'm like, they're both the same flavors of shit, but one has sprinkles on it, the other has whip cream. Both are still shit. Just fucking play retail, why play a broken busted version of the game. Retail is getting new zones as well as new weapons. People really want to live in the past that badly?
>>2537643>continues melty over (???)ok
>>2538428you're right. i never understood why people play chess either. it's like, get with the times grandpa, that game is so old, and the rules are archaic and due for an upgrade
>>2538428>retail>new zone>look inside>old zone, (soulless)
>>2538490no no no, you don't GET it, only the geniuses employed by the square enix corporation can come up with something so powerful and moving as the same zone in black & white
Private's would only be good if current retail wasn't operating, but it is. Explain to me what's the benefit of playing someone else's iteration of XI? Starting over, with no option to skip. Doing hours of missions / crafts and other shit all over again. Doesn't make sense to me.
>>2538508>emptiness is taking over!>cool, can we see it?>no lolMakes me sad because promyvion is the best zone but retail is like a skinwalker version of ffxi
>>2538512Starting over IS the fun of private server imo. When everyone is at the same even playing field and people don't have 5 relics on you if you're new. Why people are playing private servers 4 years after they come out and they've ostensibly beaten the game is something I don't understand but when the servers release, it's really not too different from replaying one of your favorite childhood games.
Not gonna lie bros I dont really feel like farming 1500 heavy metal plates
>>2535783>uh yeah that's how every mmo has worked since forever?except you only got it 20 years after the game was relevant and after all the mystique around acquiring it was goneOn Horizon most players have 2+ relics, they're meaningless
>>2538681Cope.
>>2538633That doesn't make any sense. That's Hanlon's Razor levels of insanity imo. Why would you want to be cutscene locked 5 or 6 times across various servers? Why would you want to do CoP/WoTG all over again? That's like 50+ hours of grinding alone. Ain't no way I'm doing that shit on repeat ad naseum. Private servers fill a niche audience. That's it.75 Era or nothing at all, which again is manufactured experience based on one person's perception of what 75 Cap was like, I don't want to play a limited job, I want the full job experience as it was intended by the devs. I dunno man. I just find it hard to grasp of starting over after putting close to 10k hours into my retail account.
>>2537850we did and the pserver schizos invaded the retail one
>>2538980>Why would you want to do CoP/WoTG all over again? That's like 50+ hours of grinding alone.People replay old games all the time, that's nothing new. Even story based ones like Final Fantasy 7. People had to sit through 50 to 100 hours of Persona 5 again just to see the new content in Royal as well so it's not like the prospect of this is unthinkable. In the case of 75 cap content, you are not doing it alone. There's a lot of group parts. Really, nearly everything in 75 cap is a "group part", which is a part of the appeal. You're forced to go out and meet new people almost the entire game. Your subjob, your Kazham keys, your missions, your af quests, to even level if you're not a BST etc. If you don't wanna do it, that's perfectly fine but Everquest and World of Warcraft have "fresh" servers that their players get excited for so they can do the same things all over again(but probably as a different class this time to get a slightly different experience).
>>2539141You’re not really forced to go out and meet new people for any of that. Most private server players have a group of people they’ve been playing with forever. In Era that was true but not anymore.
>>2539214I played on Horizon at release and pugged almost everything. Eventually doing PUGs, I found a linkshell and was able to do my Zilart and CoP missions with them but everything before that was me having to join groups in chat to do genkai quests and everything else. It was pretty fun, I spent like 40 minutes killing my AF1 NM solo and then someone saw me fighting it and helped. So I paid it forward and helped others with their quests when I ran across them as well afterwards. To me, that's what playing an MMO is all about, those emergent interactions in the world. If I wanted to chase loot upgrades I could play Diablo or PSO instead. I like the 75 era because it has a shared sense of struggle in the way something like Souls games do, where you can also coop to help someone.
>>2539141Okay, so it's more about the social aspect. That makes more sense to me now that you've explained it that way. I will agree with you there. I play a lot of Elden Ring on the side, I've done hundreds of runs at this point, different builds, etc etc. I guess in the MMO sense, I didn't understand why someone would do that, but now I see the appeal to it. Being able to effectively team up with people and get stuff done. Alright then, when Phoenix comes out I'll give it a shot.
Video games would only be good if pong wasn't operating, but it is. Explain to me what's the benefit of playing someone else's iteration of pong? Starting over, with no option to skip. Doing hours of missions / crafts and other shit all over again. Doesn't make sense to me.
>>2488608>>2489687>>>/reddit/

>>2539587????Wrong person anon. Anyway, got my Apoc done for my DRK and got my Ambuscade armor finished. If Phoenix comes out, I'll give it a shot to see what the hype is about. Thanks for answering my question. o7
not sure what to use the vanabout pulse weapon on I'm out of the really good options. Maybe the H2H one for PUP? I don't have any h2h rema yet but PUP is the only h2h job I have and Karambit doesn't have any pet stats on it
>Doing my Summoner AF quests>Do the fight at the Cloister of Storms>cutscene is stuck and won't progress nowMaaaan
>>2540134I fixed it, guess it's a known windower bug
>>2540073Sword > dagger > polearm Maxentius is also nastyproblem is all of these suck compared to REMA except for maybe the sword, and maybe the Khonsu
>>2540181if you ever get stuck in a cutscene turn off fastcs and enternity and cap your framerate to 30 with //config FrameRateDivisor 2 thats solves it 90% of the time
>>2540329I don't actually have fastCS I just have the game set to 60fps is all. Was able to adjust it in the cutscene and it instantly started working again.
>>2539899Bro you good? That's like the 10th time in a single thread you've brought up some namefag.
>>2540942that guy is gone. His brain is so addled by drugs and nolifing this game for 24 years, he can't go ten minutes without an outburst.
>>2540960Yeah he's just going after random anon's lmao.
>>2540942she's not even a namefag, she's a random woman most of us have never heard of, like every other nobody mentioned here by schizos

>>2537643how many of those are artifical bots that Aerec put into the server count?
>>2541334I dont know who this alaris person is, are they fuckable?
>>2541384I'm sure with half a bottle of whiskey anything could be fuckable.
>>2541384No that’s why she strikes out with everyone that has a penis on horizon
>>2541403So why do you keep posting about her then if she supposedly striked out with you?
.>>2541334 Uh oh melty

Yeah we've been having normal chats about retail and this dude just comes in and melties the thread with his schizo posting about some namefag we don't care about. Take it to the Discord.

Please one crumb of attention m’lady
>>2541592I guess people are bored until the release of PHX.
Logged into Horizon after about a year of not playing. Never got to 75 here, been 75 on literally every other serverMid-40's paladin, zero interest in playing. Set up macros, bored already. Thought about playing a bard because I'm actually good at pulling, did nonstop chain 200+ parties on Wings to 75Theres no shortage of bards, even really bad ones. None of them want to pull.
>me, non ffxi player, enjoying the melties caused by me larping as people i've never heard of

>>2541657WHICH ONE OF YOU FELLERS IS THE REAL DIRTY DAN?

>>2541642>t. the pheonix schizo meltyman
>>2541642the retail Phoenix already has 10x the population the fake and gay Phoenix ripoff server is ever going to have.
>>2541574why did this man dump this person?
>>2542141They probably never "dated" it's just weird projection on 4chan. Or maybe he got loot first and it's jealousy. Schizos will schizo.
>>2542065please dont say gay. its pride month
>>2542306GAYYYYYYYY
>>2542141She is very ugly but also very cringe and embarrassing to be around
>>2542306QUEER
>>2542141it seams that he is the one who got rejected, by the excessive melties
Ma, the niche internet micro-celebrities are beefing again.
>>2543083Yup, two years ago, still writes fanfics to this day.
Anyone else notice how woman hands always ruins the thread?
>>2543450Winter hands?
Are there any private servers that let me play 75 era DNC yet? I quit before WoTG.
>>2543837Not yet.
>>2543837catseye does. it also has scholar at 75 with most of the 75+ abilities from retail like immanence

fantasyfisher not working on CatsEye but have the correct files - failed to find fishing rod to equip - any suggestions /v/ros?
Is there any reason to keep a character on Bahamut if I've already moved my main to Phoenix to play with a friend?
>>2544211ok listen very carefully, eliteapi.dll and eliteapiDLL.dll are both set up for the retail version of ffxi, if you want ones that will work on the private servers you need to go onto Atom0s's discord where he has them and will hopefully continue to offer them for free.

I'm in a loving marriage and my wife sucks my dick a lot and I play FFXI retail while she plays her own RPGs and life is really nice:)
>>2544538shut up ninja
>>2544310yeah it worked till 2 weeks ago ish he's dropped retail updates but nothing for pserver side so was wondering if any /v/ros knew how to get around it
>>2544775Oh, they broke again? I posted the files from about a month ago so if they're not up to date I can take another look and see.
>>2544830Here's a drop to 1.3.0.0, he posted this 9 days ago so it might help, might not. https://filebin.net/3t5dwxjnyc2jn9s7
You might need proc helper too.
>turn font quality down>font becomes sharper in game
>>2545002You'd use prochelp and rename one of the targets to ashita-cli.exe or whatever it's called, i think run it administrator, and it should work
Who are these cringelords using the auto translate feature for every sentence on yell? JP people don't fucking play here
>>2545100I had to get it to make the fish not work on horizon so I just assumed you’d need it on CE too
>>2545349yeah I love seeing 'windhurst' it's SO FUCKING FUNNYuse the FUCKING auto translate in yell or I don't interact with you (would blacklist if it was unlimited)
>>2545522ESL behavior and activity
>>2545533Once you've played FFXI longer than a day you start to pick up on these types of people. If they don't use auto-translate they probably are not good players, don't use food, don't have good gear, etc and are just really annoying. They're probably just trying to rush to endgame to be fafhogg seat fillers. No thanks.
>>2544557I don't think Ninja actually enjoys his life desu
>>2544215>>2544215>>2544215Anyone mind helping me out here?
>>2546145Do you really want to pay the money for a transfer? If it's worth it to you, move it. Phoenix is next on the lock list.
>>2546162You misunderstand. Guess I should've provided more details. I've already moved my main to Phoenix, I'm asking if I should keep a character on Bahamut as an alt.Is there any value in having a character to run on Bahamut in the future? Since it's locked, I like the idea of keeping a foot in the door, but I just don't know enough about the game to know whether there's any potential aspects to it that could be better than any other server.
>>2546175it's just another locked server. unless you're RMT, no value in playing there with just an alt.
>>2546162Just wait for the real Phoenix in September
>>2486292I've just finished my 3-3 nation mission, but I'm thinking about starting over for a variety of stupid reasons. I'm not level 99. I can get Kupofried and Vanaclock from the chest.Will I really regret starting over? How long will it take me to redo Rhapsody in White and unlock all the homepoints and survival guide teles again? I have a bunch of mounts and trusts from anniversary events that I logged in during and just never progressed the game, but those will all be back right?
>>2546194To expand on this a bit; I've chipped away at progress over a few years, which is why I don't recall how long everything will take to redo.I have a much firmer grasp of the game now so I assume I can fly through all of it much faster than I did before.
>>2546068
will this game survive another decade?
>>2545742using auto translate for everything is a fun and traditional ffxi pastime. {mithra} {meat} {wand} {Can I have it?}
>>2546387He wouldn't stream with women because he was afraid of his wife getting mad at him for thinking he's cheating and they're jesus freaks who go to church regularly. He's miserable.
>>2546189Oh, well the retail Phoenix has about 9,000 active people on it, the private server Phoenix might have 900 active people on it.
The braless wife thing is so funny like does he think women normally hang around at home with a bra on? He might as well brag that his wife brought him a glass of pepsi without her shoes on.
>>2546200Not that long. Start over if you want.
>>2546441>Phoenix might have 900 active people on itvgh.... unironic kinosovl incoming
>>2546441Right but 8,900 are bots and RMT

So the allegations about Phoenix staff being 4chan posters is true? Yikes.
>>2546956There's a reason most would rather talk about retail than pservers. Too many schizos.
>>2546941Yeah, because Whiner threatened to leave the staff if she was let on.
>>2546967Her rejection must've stung hard.
>>2546753i made a normal post empathizing with someone and this triggered you somehow. must be the meltyman
>>2546971I don't see her on 4chan crying about it every thread like Whiner does.
>>2546975Good to see Phoenix staff airing their drama here rather than working on their server!!!
>>2546913good to know! i will not be playing. the meltdowns in here are evidence that the team is run by maladjusted touchy snowflakes obsessed with random ecelebs. can't imagine how obnoxious a server run by them will be

>>2547174let.it.go.
Is it important to get a single job to endgame and use that to farm for gear to supply my other jobs with? Or is this game built in a way that the grinds are contained to the job(s) you're trying to gear up?If the former, what are the best jobs to start with that'll make it easier to grind for subsequent jobs?
>>2547184I want to say THF but THF is annoying to level unless you make your own parties. Other viable options are BST and RDM. If this is pertaining to retail then I’d guess any job because you got trusts to help you level it I guess.
>>2547192I'm talking retail, but even if trusts make things easier I assume there's still some discrepancy between jobs, even if it's not huge. That and eventually I'll be forced to run content they're either too weak for or unavailable for.
>>2547174I’d imagine because people are tired of your shit. Talk about the game or rope yourself nigger.
>>2547195Ah. I’m not really familiar with retail endgame.
>>2547180>>2547196im gonna keep posting. shit and piss about it
>>2547174
>>2547206You should take your own advice piss baby
>>2547184its easier to carry you through endgame shit if you play a job like corsair because they aren't really gear dependent if all you're doing is buff whoring
>>2547210Yet here you are spam replying to it. Woman hands indeed
my mommy said I'm only allowed to not give a certain number of fucks in a given day, and I'm exceeding the number of fucks I'm not allowed to give guys.
>>2547249t. Wintersolstice
>>2547206>I'm going to shit up the thread on purpose!ok but why? you know every minute you spend doing this is a minute in your life you're never getting back?
>>2546389Yes actually. They already confirmed that they're doing active development for 11 for the next 6 years to make it to the 30th anniversary.
Can we collectively ignore this attention seeking faggot and go back to talking about the game?
Is it worth completing all the story content before hitting 99? Or should I grind as fast as possible then come back and do the story?
Is there an easy way to hit TH8 for dynamis currency farming as a new player?I have the Thief's Knive already but everything else seems turbo expensive or locked behind higher end game shit.Is the Chaac belt difficult to get?
>>2548101 You can get to 99 first. I believe "most" of the story missions/fights are uncapped. So if you want, get to 99 come back and steamroll them. Assuming you're on retail, then any set of i119 Ambuscade Gear will plow through any BCNM that's not current.
>>2548103Easiest way to farm gil would be a combination of Clamming + Sparks. Buy Shields (Acheron Shields specificially.) They sell for I think 24k a pop. So that will net you a good couple mil to save up for what you're going for which should make buying stuff easier. Hope this helps.
>>2548103As a follow up to your question (I forgot to mention) Delves are piss easy to do now. People are soloing Ambuscade, so yeah, Delves are easily soloable or if you want to bring a RDM friend and have them spot you while you fight the NM. You're going to need to kill Cailmh for it. Good luck getting the pops.
I think if Horizon dies (it won't) I might try either CatsEye or going back to retail.
>>2548132For the price of what I would be buying the AH TH stuff for I could just buy my relic flat out
>try retail with friends>make a rule that we will not get any rhapsodies and play the game normally without raising the level cap past 75>first thing I notice is the experience rates are scuffedTheres no way to experience this game in its hey day ever again is there? Even if we limit ourselves to the most basic trusts and avoid any skill boosting or exp boosting stuff
>>2548284Considering that the Job Point and mastery point grinds are bigger than the 1-75 grind ever was it would be retarded to have retained old exp rates
>>2548101no. you MUST play on my server and you MUST listen to me whine about my exgf and you MUST listen to kipling gargle my balls and you MUST hate all the nobodies that i hate #PlayPheonixServer
>>2547002winter and kipling dream team. they come on here to shit their pants about random women, jerk each other off, and schizo rant about private servers
>>2548330Toss Valentine into that mix as well. Probably the actual thread shitter hiding behind accusations of it being Winter. Women hands indeed.
>>2548340who? sorry never heard of him
>>2548343Never heard of any of these niggers
>>2547195>>2547184my advice is always to start with whichever of the main damage dealer jobs looks most appealing to you then get that to 99, you'll be on this most of the time to get through the easy early endgame stuff with trusts. 2nd I'd get THF to 99 and get a decent treasure hunter set going that's going to make grinding for a bunch of things so much less time consuming. And then you can use those to start working on getting a support or healer (preferably both) job going so you can start getting into groups
>>2548284>Theres no way to experience this game in its hey day ever again is there?noyou could try a 75 cap private server but even that isn't the same as it was
Can you guys genuinely shut the fuck up about these random nobodies. None of us actually care. We're here for FFXI, stop shitting up the thread with these literal who's. You retards shitted up the last thread, make your own board about private server drama. Anyway. Getting Thief to 99 is a good idea for farming gil/drops in the early game due to TH. But if I were you I'd get one job to 30. Then go unlock Dancer. Probably one of the coolest versions of a Healer/DPS I've seen done in a game.
>>2548228empy feet + relic hands upgraded = cap i thought?
>>2548986Empy feet + Relic hands arent cheap
>>2548995they aren't expensive either.
>>2549017they are when I have 2 other jobs to gear
>>2548897stop talking about it then retard
>>2486292Why can't any of these niggas use AI to complete the current era content? With so many private servers none of them are fully operational and at best cover to ToAH
>>2548897Everyone needs to collectively ignore them because they come here seeking validation and attention for their 'wrongdoings' and probably report them for kicking the thread off topic.
>>2549340If the AI hallucinates code, then trying to find out which part is broken would be a nightmare.
>>2549340AI generally still sucks. Even if you ask it to help you code, it pulls up made-up shit from its ass, and then you have to go back and fix it.
>>2549607can we bully this guy to death please
>>2549607You first, cunt.
>>2549729believe it or not, i will don't know who that is, and refuse to find out. your method has many options, you can blow your brains out, rope, maybe drink a bunch of mystery chemicals? get creative but do it fast
everyone is my ex gf
wowie boys, i can't wait to play on the phoenix private server where we're subjected to daily dev melties about random nobodies!

qrd on Alaris? (no troll, idk them)
>>2550247She is a WHORE that rejected me two years ago, and I can't get over it. ALSO possible tranny because I can't get over it, so I need everyone else to believe SHE'S A STUPID WHORE too. By the way did I mention she's a WHORE because she didn't fuck me?
>>2550247Some minor e-celeb (aka nobody) that triggers the fuck out of Wintersolstice?
>>2550321shut the fuck up alaris
>>255024745 year old forever alone femcel that desperately tries to flirt with anything with a pulse and a penis but is ugly, terrible at the game, and annoying as fuck so she never gets anywhere. They are also a cringe vtuber who roleplays as a qiqirn from FFXI and will actually say “squeak” mid conversation. Every guy on horizon has a story about how Alaris has come at them and if they weren’t female they would have been cancelled by now. There is A LOT of stuff about her being held on to by a lot of different people. The second any person starts leaking it she’s probably screwed.
Damn you're really mad she didn't fuck you.
>>2550744I'm sure Valentine.
>>2550744That's always the story, innit
>>2550704LMAO this nigga mad.

>>2550247no clue either, just some name that triggers a near daily melty from pheonix schizos

How many fish botters got banned from horizon today?
>>2551410there won't be any new content until Phoenix releases in September. better to just leave these threads until then
Ninja had the right idea when he chose not to interact with woman online, you got schizos like this dude showing up in threads crashing out and having melties on the daily.
>>2551429if Horizon banned all of its fish botters it would have the same population as Eden
>>2551465Advertising is against the rules.
>>2486292Is there a way to recharge the Raising Earrings?
>>2550704Post a pic.
>>2552018No but you can just get a new one on the AH, they are level 24 and pretty cheap. I always grab a scroll, use it, and grab another scroll from conquest points.
>>2552033Where do people get them that they sell them on the AH? I thought it was a one-time only item.
>>2552110This one is crafted, it's called a reraise earring.
>>2551615schizoposting is less about having normal interactions with 50% of the human population, and more about having untreated schizophrenic delusions
When I got on antidepressants most of my raging thoughts went away. Mental health is taken seriously now so perhaps you should consult with your doctor if all you think about is this woman. Or rope yourself.
>>2551429I only heard of three people: Imperius, Fishsticks and Renalf.
>>2551755So how do they decide who to ban then?
SE is locking Phoenix. If you didn't make a character yet, do it now or move to Fenrir.
>>2552665Nice to see retail popping off.
>>2552704Huge influx of newer players and returning players has been nice. No better time to start!
>>2552711I think my retail character got left on Odin. Is that a good server?
>>2552732Yes, it's already locked so high population.
>>2552733Okay thanks
they know they're going to eventually run out of servers to lock right. what is the plan here
>>2552878Make more servers
phoenix closing june 10th, newfags make your accomodations now.
Why is pop going up in retail xi? It's been a few years since I've played are merc services still bad and is it still impossible to get a capparty?
>>2549714You mean verbally paw at them and cry endlessly, whoever you're talking about? Have you not realized by now how useless it is? You're not going to "to death" anyone, or even come close unless they're genuinely, actually retarded.That aside, it's funny how suddenly everyone cares about retail.
>>2552914Lots of new players, mostly from FFXIV. Very easy to find some newbies to team up. The bot/merc spam seems like pserver propaganda.
I saw a couple of big streamers from XIV playing XI but it’s funny how their audience immediately tanks because XI is so incredibly boring to watch.
When is SE gonna do the equipment update to trusts? I wanna do dead content like unitynms
>>2552988A lot of 14 players have a strict hatred of XI for some dumb reasons, probably because 1.0 is constantly compared to it. I've seen people say the names are dumb for some reason, when 14 just strictly copies its naming conventions, usually for the worse, and in some cases names itself.I would never watch a retail stream. Most Horizon streams will have the chat box blocked so you can't see anyone have a melty. I remember sometimes I'd see if there was a stream watchable, and I'd find a BLM dynamis, or someone logging. People also have no personality besides "that guy with the relic". So, there's no reason to watch anyone play.
>>2552914Final Fantasy XI just had it's 24th anniversary. They're introducing a new campaign and stuff, so new people are checking it out. They also confirmed 6 more years of development + possible new zones. Which may lead to another expansion if they can de-tangle from the PS2 dev-kits and be standalone.
They should have locked servers years ago, Asura has always been too big. They are just retarded and finally decided they care because of the FFXIV collabs
>>2553308The 67 campaign….
>>2548313>level 49 sub job cap so everyone has haste, accession, storms, refresh and convertNo thanks
>>2548284Private servers pretty much have all of the 75 era contentWhy would you ever cap yourself to 75 on retail? You're missing like 8+ years worth of content at that point
>>2552914Impossible? most people just make their own. Ask to join someone else, I'm sure they would rather have you than a trust. There are like 30 cap points camps and only one is ever mega camped by that RMT merc guy who camps right at the bats. I'd park my BLM afk in your group with autoburst on if i still had a sub, and all you would have to do is make skillchains and i can 1 hit a crab with a double 99999 MB.
>>2553678>cap pointsderp, i think you'd use a puller and have a bunch of people doing aoe WS with magic damage. I like to use my summoner and thunderspank in between cataclysm spam.
>>2553678This sounds so boring I can’t believe people think this “replaces” 75 cap era exp parties when people just afk bot it with capped fucking damage
>>2553774If you have played retail in the last 5 years, you know that no one exps - they pay mercs/bots to level them while they sit in KRT. Yet people pretend like retail is an actual game
I find it so weird that no one actually wants to play the game, and a lot of people just AFK and bot.
>>2553857those camps are so weird because they're just in old zones and mobs have like 1s respawn, and there's just like 100 in one room. The mobs are weak as fuck too like they're made to be botted."bro just don't lvl past 75" is so retarded because you'll just be running around and then run into these grindfest cuckchair rooms of lvl200 mobs randomly.
>>2553774it did for like five minutes, and then people realized you can just cheese them with gear. Apex crabs can be killed in one skillchain, they die so fast provoke is worthless.
>>2554553Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, this is your paladin, SlimJim joining you for another one hour session of Cataclysm gangbang happy go fun time.
Guild Wars 3 got announced. Holy shit what a time to be alive. We're finally getting a good MMO. It's over for FFXI.
>>2554969Wow let me get out my hype calendar. Beta in 2027, you say?I'm already not interested. GW2 was ass.
>>2554969>gonna have to gear up and level againwow so much for no gear treadmill :^)thats awesome I play gw2 when I don't feel like paying a sub for this. I hope 3 is subless too
>>2551325We tried but then they start womanhandsing.
>women ruin video games>women ruin friend groups>women ruin these threadsHuh. It's almost like there's a pattern there...
>>2555607Destroy everything they touch except kitchen appliances.

>>2556429Message Alaris - that slut will suck and fuck anything if you say you're male.
>>2556436I'm not going to do and and by ctrl fing the thread they don't seem my type. I think I might leave cause this place seems schizo.
>>2556284Make me faggot. "Please please rope please" pathetic ass
>>2556436How much? is she cheaper than the locals in my area? I'm not going to pay double for a chance with an e-slut when I can pay half the price for a guaranteed professional.> Women love money.
>>2556717i am begging you to please kill yourself, please. that's how annoying you are. i think multiple people in here would pitch in to a kickstarter for you to get assisted suicide
>>2556442be sure to stay for far away from the pheonix private server. the schizos in here are 'devs'. i wish i was joking but when they aren't having random-woman-name melties they are having melties over other private servers existing.
>>2557005Nope the melties are from horizon players who don’t want their gay server to get owned
>>2556436I thought you said she was a femcel. Get your stories straight.
>>2557477Are you new? Femcels like Rahne and Alaris act like they hate men but give them a shred of attention and they’re all over you. That’s why they date everyone with a pulse while acting like girl bosses
>>2557005> womanhands prebanned from x server> womanhands complains on 4chan> womanhands uses the incel powerplay> never talks about the gameWomanhands ruined psxi and star wars
>>2557488Are you Alaris or Rahne? because it seems like you like the attention from some of the anons too.
>>2557491Okay let’s talk about FFXI then. What are you doing in game right now (or plan to do later if you were forced to go outside)?
I'm finally leveling DRK. Is GA, GS, or Scythe better in the 40-50 range?
Horizon staff and egls larping to manipulate their female streamers. Why not put the same effort into fixing the game? Pathetic.
>>2557677Because they are waiting for Phoenix to fix it for them.
>>2558027Smart desu. Why waste time fixing stuff when retards will do it for free?
>>2557491see: this messageimagine if you spent this time coding pheonix server or talking about the game
>>2558125Horizon no longer has the ability to add content on their own. It's been almost 5 years and no TOAU. Their only choice is waiting for someone competent to do it for them.
>>2557677the mental gymnastics required to turn the kipling+winter daily thread melties into a horizon/waman problem is too much for me bruv
>>2558250Yeah, again, retards are doing it for free. Use whatever language you need to justify it.

>>2558464alaris really on her period today
>>2558467>continues to not talk about ffxi
Haha yeah so what's everyone's starter cities? Why did you pick that one?
>>2558950Bastok because the warp NPC was right by the COP NPC, at least at the start of Horizon.
>>2558992Damn, how did it feel to get mega cucked after that? Any love for Bastok, or is it all a numbers game for you?
>>2557449can you explain how this relates to random woman #17, winter/kipling?
>>2559010Every “person” on screen is just a number who make some numbers on a bigger number until the bigger numbers die and we get numbers as a reward.
>>2557568GS doesn't become usable until spinning slash which is like 66use scythe, great axe, or axe. A lot of people just use sturmwind until SS/cross reaper/guillotine.
>>2558250meanwhile, CEXI is getting regular content updates.
>>2558950Windurst, because panpipe music andd mercenary poles at rank 2 vendor for big money.
>>2559225Thank you, anon! I was using GA but wanted to be sure.
>>2558950San d'Oria. Was the one I picked back in the day to play with my friends and the music is nostalgic.
>>2558950I picked San'Doria, because jeuno looked ugly in the first alliance raid buy San'Doria was pretty.
>missed almost all the eventoh wellat least I got an echad ring and an ochre pell to use on a trust
>>2559351Scythe has good white damage, especially barbarian's scythe at 49I think Guillotine is 59/60, cross reaper is 66, rampage(1h Axe) is 55/56, if you have a mkris or a kclub that's the META then
>>2486292I've had my eye on RUN since getting started because I like the theme and idea of that Job, but hearing that it's a tank and takes months to grind an essential weapon for it I'm thinking I should make it a secondary goal and focus on something simpler for my first endgame job.Any recommendations that are more interesting than just unga bunga WAR? BLU seems really cool, and I've heard the only real downside to it is needing to hunt for the spells themselves, but I don't think I'd mind that. I also like the idea of greatsword PLD just because it's so different from how I'm used to Paladins being in MMOs, even if it's a very sub-optimal way to play the job. I'm just worried I'll get too bored using a greatsword while prepping/grinding for RUN.
>>2559535I have kclub so was trying to figure out which was best til I hit 66. I think I'll keep a GA/Scythe on me and adjust based on the parties I'm in. Appreciate the insights!
>>2558467LMFAO
>>2558453>>2558939>womanhands spotted ran out of defenses
>Whiner samefagging (again)
Can you dumbos stop arguing about twitch streamers and tell me if BLU is based or not?
>>2559133.......... fun!
>>2559813defenses.... of what? the topic of the thread? which i would love to argue about instead of trying to make the local schizophrenic believe in my penis
>>2559945are you fucking retarded? of course it ishalf the reason everyone wants ToAU on horizon is to see the absolute trainwreck that Era+™ BLU will be
>>2559945Does your definition of based include endless, chance-based, low % rate grinding to get skills?
>>2560120No no, see, you are supposed to defend yourself because you are his exgf (along with everyone else in the thread who wants to talk about anything other than his exgf)
>>2560194shut the fuck up (my exgf)
>>2560343>homoerotic womanhands succubus posting
>>2559765Run/blu is the endgame meta for a lot of things. RUN with epeolatry is much more useful than paladin. Spell hunting is the monotony break for BLU, and BLU ends up being kind of like a Samurai with JAs and CDC at the end.
>>2559792For colibri almost every DRK has mkris/axe and spams Rampage. DRK does some crazy Rampage damage with good gear.
>>2559765blu is great fun, has a lot of use cases and is the best AoE cleaver in the game which comes in handy. spell hunting is up to ppls tastes but I had a lot of fun with it doing it as I levelled, takes you to a lot of zones and fights you might not have a reason to go to normally. other upside for your case is /BLU is the best subjob for tanks right now so you'd need one at 50 anyways when you eventually pickup RUN.
>>2560370Nobody is playing on a server with a level 50 sub, we're all multiboxing on the new upcoming pheonix server

>>2562654You know what's gayer than Horizon? Grouping up with a bunch of random shitters who need a fucking PL to do Valkurm Dunes. Food? not a chance.
>>2562842I've seen several shitters on Horizon that don't use food, and then take it as a personal insult when you ask them if they have any.
>>2562995Had a shitter on horizon who said we should pay for their food if they were going to use it.
>>2562842That's why I'm so happy phoenix will let me multibox so I can play completely alone and no one can ruin my epic smooth dunes experience
>>2563059Had a SMN in a BLM burn say tuna sushi was a lie, continuously miss his BP, and then finally fake d/c.
>>2560461Stop astroturfing please, we're busy talking about gameplay. :)
>>2560356>RUN with epeolatry is much more useful than paladin.Yeah but I also wanna do some weird builds just for fun without everything needing to be useful. 90% of the game can be solo'd with trusts anyway right?
>>256316190% of the game as a whole can be soloed the endgame requires a lot more teamplay but you're right putting together whacky off-meta builds is part of the fun of this game. dual wielding clubs and going melee WHM to heal CP parties is a very fond memory for me
i feel like playing XI again because i hate myself, is everyone still just waiting for phoenix and zenith?
>>2486292I have apparently severely out-leveled my combat skills and now I miss almost every attack on enemies my level.wtf am I supposed to do to raise my combat skills now? spam books from sparks?I tried going to beat up lower-level enemies but they won't give me anything.

>>2564222Spicy Ryan is on zenith? No fucking thanks. That screams inevitable drama
>>2564399Is there proof of this? Or is it more Phoenix melties over micro-celebrity devs.

>>2564487Phoenix actually has the superstars of the community doing shitpost gossip work, they are the most exciting project in years for men who can't stop jerking off to random woman #6
notice how rapid same fagging happens every time you disagree with the horizon/zenith shills lmaoooooooNOOOOOOOOOO YOU CANT SPEAK THE TRUTH ABOUT MY PEDO TRANNY SERVER NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!
Meds time, Winter.
>>2564606shut the fuck up my exgf
>>2564487Wow the same trash responsible for Wings and Horizon huhHow long before it's an abandoned project? 12 months? 16?
>>2564686Horizon cucks desperately trying to run interference through tears and zero updates on their doomed server
>>2564624no the melties are horizon flavored today. you'll have to wait until tomorrow to hear all about alarmis again
>>2564222I can tell by the way you talk that your opinion isn't worth considering and I have no horse in the pserver race.
Why do you guys argue about servers so much and never talk about what you're actually doing in the game? You do PLAY the game right?
>>2564898they killed Wings for this.
>>2564967I do not care to hear about any namefagged anons in this thread, but alas.
>>2564686the same trash that worked on wings is working on horizon now. Anon are you retarded anon? Womanhands needs to stay in the kitchen not on 4chan
>>2565164The same trash that worked on Horizon is working on Phoenix right now. Anon are you retarded anon? Womanhands needs to stay in the kitchen not on 4chan.
>>2565164>>2565200This is your brain on drugs, kids.
>>2565200Nah Aerec stayed on horizon. Have fun with that! It’s working out well for you guys so far it seems. Year 5 and no TOAU lmaooooo
>aeric REEEEEE>alermis REEEEEEEE>wamin hands REEEEEEEEE>play pheonix serverwhy have the jannies abandoned this thread. look at the damage 1 schizo can do
>>2564975>you guysit's pheonix private server staff and they come here to advertise their server and cry and shit their pants about names you've never heard of.
>>2564975>You do PLAY the game right?18hour crawlies nest grinding sesh fueled by 2 party sized bags of oreo cookies + gallon of whole milk.
Or just play official servers. Avoid all this stupidity of the private server community entirely. Just a thought to fellow anons.
>>2565976shut the fuck up my exgf
>>2565980Funny how often you spam this, almost like you’re the one creating all the finest and trying to divert. Don’t think the Phoenix people post here at all or even read this garbage
>everything wrong is because of phoenix>p-please don't play on their server>btw i'm totally not behind all those posts and blaming it on them!
>>2566339Yeah this seems like what’s going on here
>>2565976whenever jannies get around to moderating xi threads here 1 guy gets banned and literally half the posts in the thread disappear its really astounding
>>2566346A year ago when 4chan was dead and people bunkered down on a different site with IDs, it was a good showcase as to just how deranged some schizos are before they realized that the bunker site had IDs. Schizos will legitimately spam an entire thread and have fake conversations with themselves.
>>2566309Delusional
>>2566832Got any proof? If you spam here without evidence you’re the delusional one. Most of the boogeyman you post about don’t read your schizo diary here.
>>2566848Deflection
>>2566903understandable, you have nothing. enjoy your day spammer-kun. I look forward to seeing what other named boogeyman have caused you emotional distress
>>2568514>>2568514>>2568514Continue your schizobabble here
>>2566361this whole thread is 80% one mentally ill retard and a handful of other people who pop in and out
>>2566309>you spam thisthe thing i posted twice? would love for you to ctrl+f alaris and tell me how much you posted about her, lmao
>>2568607Alaris… you should attempt to at least not identify yourself so obviously when you are posting…
>>2568847>Winter… you should attempt to at least not identify yourself so obviously when you are posting…
