ty for that, did you record any other interesting data? also was mildly surprised at how big quetz/pho/etc are
Can you share this data, too? It's interesting.

First (and probably only) group to clear all 4 original Salvage bosses before they added a chest at the start to give you unlocks without sneaking around the zone sniping stuff while 100% disabled.
Remember all those frogs that would only pop in certain situations that took people forever to figure out? You're welcome. (Ok so it was mostly Aurik & Wafik coming up with the ideas here, gotta give credit where credit is due.)
It was good times
Also got the 2nd Yagrush on Asura out of this. 1st (Amana) beat me by just 1 or 2 days... darn her!
Also cast the first Arise on Asura! Go WHM!
First NA Dynamis Lord attempt on Asura:

We had 2 and a half alliances for this. The linkshell was called "FUSE" (FU SE) and was a joint effort between the 3 biggest NA linkshells: Machina, Tribe, and CrysOfValour. He wiped the floor with us in about 45 seconds flat.
Also first on Asura to kill an animated weapon. It was Wafik's LS Manaburn (named such because we took no jobs in except BLM RDM BRD SMN, not even a tank). We killed Animated Club for Hitosi to finish his Mjollnir. He wasn't technically in the LS but he was the only one on the server with enough currency to actually need the animated weapon killed so we decided to see if we can kill it and brought him along. (Yes, the first relic completed on Asura was a club.)
First group as far as I know that killed all Reisenjima HELMs with SMN burns. People had just started doing Schah that way when we figured out you can do all 7. What followed was the only period in the game's history where I actually did mercenary work... I just loved SMN too much to pass it up.

odd to have gear with only a "negative" stat on it, but once upon a time someone probably used it for 'x-hit' builds since it presumably would give more tp per hit. Similarly I think there were a handful of 2 handed weapons because of this the HQ was less desirable than the NQ because the -5 delay or w/e caused an extra hit to get to 1k tp, and the +1 dmg couldn't possibly make up the difference.

I'm still a fan of the theory that +5s will just take a ton of Apollyon/Temenos points, like >50k.
If they add a fifth version of U/O, it could just drop something else (maybe a fifth version of Homam/Nashira).
For those counting at home:
Mission U/O, HTBF U/O, Original Limbus U/O, HQ Limbus U/O
Homam, Murzim, Enif, Ayanmo
Nashira, Shedir, Adhara, Tali'ah
You forgot MT U/O

Toreador's Cape

Enemy crit rate +50%
Wait what??!! Is that actually a hidden stat on that cape?

Were people actually gatekeeping this information? My "deserve" comment above was nothing more than a bad attempt at wry humor. Gatekeeping anything in an ancient game like this is silly.
Not necessarily this information, but it's a common theme with other community projects over the years. Gatekeep the code/process, lose interest, and the useful project is abandoned.
|
|
 |
|
I'm all for sharing stuff and appreciate the info, but if possible keep this thread to bragging about in game accomplishments please.
No.

I don't care, it's not a secret, all I did was watch videos on how to reverse engineer/process hacking.
People who gatekeep this ***are dumb.
Gatekeeping pointless ***is the FFXI community way. How else would those people feel important?
Who cares if the project gets abandoned with no one easily able to resume it.

I feel that today's cars are built for drivers who don't really drive, just aim. This is so that driving will be so boring that we will welcome our L 5 self driving overlords.

I'm actually quite interested in understanding how you determined the values to begin with. You don't DESERVE it.
My god, you're right.

Yeah, folks will believe anything. If there was a way to mess with the POL UI to support more then four per session, someone from the Windower dev team would of come up with a workaround years ago. They are already in the memory space and can modify all sorts of stuff on-the-fly there.
The only thing fake are the accounts, I needed filler to test the concept/see how many accounts would work.
If you want to try yourself, since I'm sure none of you want to download a random DLL from a idiot on the internet, download a copy of CheatEngine and apply this:
Select POL.EXE as the target process, set value type to 'array of bytes' and search for E8 80 2E 00 00 8B D8 E8 50 3A 00 00 3B D8 7D 39
This should only yield one result, right click the result and click disassemble this memory region. From there, go down to the first 'jnl' instruction, ~4 lines under the original line you started at. (in this picture, jnl app.dll+1A837F)
Double click the jnl instruction you're on, and replace the contents of the box with 'nop' (no quotes), it will ask you if you want to expand the NOP to 2 bytes, say yes.
If you did it correctly, it should now look like this with a double NOP instruction in its place. You should be able to go back to POL and click add member with no error message.
You're welcome.
Jebaited into giving the secret sauce. They don't DESERVE it

Leaving the flagship server closed Late to the party here, but: Bahamut is server ID #1, at least from an AH perspective. Internally to SE, if anything is the "flagship", it's Bahamut.
Lakshmi is the best server anyway, but all y'all can stay the *** off of it
Yes... YES this is the type of Bahamut propaganda I need to hear!

I think the number of people that leave their chars logged in near 24/7 even if they only play a few hours a day is higher than ever and a strangely high proportion of players on FFXI vs other mmos.
Of course many are afk MLing every day too, and the game is designed to encourage that so... I would bet it's lower in FFXI than in FFXIV, but I have zero way to prove that (other than that they had to implement AFK kicking for Endwalker/Dawntrail and didn't ever do that for XI that I know of?)
agree on other MMOs though

For the last decade if anyone thought ffxi, the immediate second thought, good or bad, was asura. (Mostly bad)

Quite honestly, I think this is why. XI allows you to remain online without penalty or auto disconnect, and the login system is a slog. Combine that, you end up with people never logging off.

they just don't have that analog feel anymore.
Same with me. Used to love Alfa Roneos back in the day. Drove the new-ish Giulia and the thing is so packed with electronics it felt more like a Tesla than an Alfa.
Meanwhile companies like Alfetta take the same engine from the Giulia and stuff in in an old GTO body with new suspension and parts and it drives like a dream.
Sad really.

The M96 scares me. My 2.5 is the one that has the least problems. Way less common IMS failures (no stupid single row bearing on the 2.5) and no coated pistons that cause bore scoring. I wouldn't buy a M96 car just because those motors still cost $7k-$13k.
Most M96 rebuilds are 20k+ now. Friend of mine is a builder and on average it's around 22-25k. LN is also behind about 6+ months on machining, so you are without the car a while. If you get one from Slakker I think it's around 25k-ish for the motor alone and FSI starts at 35k.
I would've never bought one if I had known about the clusterfuck of issues. The IMSB can be solved with a replacement pretty easily, but the bore scoring in the later motors, head cracking in the earlier ones, water pump failures, bearing failures, etc are all kindof ridiculous. I had a rebuild done and 6 months later the motor spun 3 bearings, no overrevs or anything.
I've had both Caymans and several 911s. My favorite of all of them are the air cooled cars especially from the Carrera 3.0 up to 964. After that, I like the way the 996s drive, but I wouldn't recommend owning one, same with the 997s. The Cayman I had was my favorite of the water cooled generation and the 2.7 in the base models didn't have any of the issues the other motors did. The 996s have more grunt to them and I like the way they drive a lot, but they are more work and a lot bigger feeling.
I'm ditching Porsche land. I can't afford it anymore. The 996 killed it for me (I have a 1982 SC also), but it's just too much work to keep them running. At least on the SC I can do most of it myself, but the head studs are a ticking time bomb and I'm about to pass that off on someone else.
Dang, sorry to hear all that. My 986 has been flawless mechanically for the past 3 years and maybe 15k miles. I've been slowly replacing all the suspension and it's been riding better and better.
I think my problem going forward with cars is... I don't like modern cars from a driver experience point of view. I drove a C8 Corvette last year at our annual ride-n-drive event. Amazing car, fast, capable, and the most boring driving experience I've ever had. It feels like playing a PC game on a cheap steering wheel setup. Zero feedback from steering, brakes, or accelleration. I got back into my 986 from that event and the entire drive home thought that not one of those cars gave me a driving experience like this. I drove a C8, CT5-V, Porsche Taycan, Lucid Air, and a bunch of other non-sports car EV stuff. Even when I test drove a 718 Boxster, they just don't have that analog feel anymore.
