The average person probably doesn't pick up on it. There are a lot of scammers who successfully use AI to generate responses to people on dating sites, FB, text messages, etc and a lot of people don't pick up on it.

I went through this somewhat recently. My poor Dad was "dating" someone on some site he met "her" on. A few weeks after they "met", he nearly got scammed out of a lot of money through a pretty clever scam that had him transferring money around until I and the PD caught up to him. I found out about "her" later and when I looked at her messages, it was extremely obvious they were written by AI. According to the PD folks we spoke with, it's really common and scammers are using AI generated messages, most people don't pick up on it.


FWIW it hasn't fully been overturned, IIRC SCOTUS has until mid-month to rule on it. It's really unlikely they'll rule that they have to be refunded.

It's unlikely they'll rule against them in the first place, but refunding them is even more unlikely IMO. Either way, it's not a done deal yet.

But people just want to hear what they want to hear regardless of if it's true nor not, so maybe mission accomplished?

Aheeeeeeem...

"but what if someone gets ditched without the temp item"

This would involve one of two things happening:
1-group started fighting things before everyone was ported up
2-someone died and group kept killing mobs while they were dead

Both of these are conscious decisions affected by the group and are noticeable. A quick "everyone get this temp item?" question fixes the issue. If the stupido *** up, they *** up.

LLM's just tell you want you want to hear, regardless of if it's true nor not.

Inc VanaBout in between the campaigns

What color did you get? I've been thinking about getting the air in the sky blue color. Not because I need a new gameboy, but because I like the look of the air. Have a 16e at the moment in black.

Does it feel flimsy? I worry about it snapping from being so thin; but I mean, it's about as thin as earlier iterations of the iphone. I can be a bit rough on my phones.

Or an option to toggle between the current setting and "auto next floor"? Maybe that would be too much work, idk.

Maybe this went up after that post then:

Omen Job Card Campaign

Omen will receive the following adjustment for the duration of the campaign.

But is consuming a content you are not supposed to just because of third party programs ethically correct?

Or jobs without ilvl movement speed gear that isn't hidden behind mission progression or forcing you to choose a specific mission reward.

First take of last night:

- temenos 9 characters, 9 drop
- Apollyon 5 characters, 4 drop

Some people were 4/4 for the day.

Waiting on Amarok data input, but yeah real high but not 100%.

The final fight is supposed to be the conclusion of the story at the highest ilvl. Would make no sense to be able to beat it wearing i109 gear. Also, starting ilvl af/relic/empy shouldn't be an issue at as its quite easy to get all 3 of those sets to 119. If people came back to the game and could easily beat the final tvr boss wearing whatever, youre right, they'd quit if all they cared about storyline and SE doesn't want people to quit, they want $12.95 a month from you.

There are no campaigns listed, that's what Jakey's saying.

I think a lot of event schedules are built around working individuals (most get started in the evenings 8:30pm EST / PST based on time zone).

If you’re a full time employee it’s great. If you’re earlier in your life cycle (a student) I’ve found other MMORPGs offer easier casual exercises due the ability to find a group @10am or 4am. Whereas ironically being unavailable at 8pm due to night classes.

So I think ‘casual time’ for XI = working casual. Not ‘student casual’.

The notorious B-U-M-P!

This is good but you lose to option to "pick" the floor (which honestly I would gladly lose) and you also lose the option to exit.
Which, I remind you, you can do on any floor and not just the last.

It would be a compromise. Someone would love it I'm sure and it's easy to see why, some others would hate it and complain.

I don't find the menu interaction being SUCH a major problem. Granted I don't want to defend it either.

The biggest issue I've had with that is with people using it too early/too late, meaning they get different credit and so you need to ask every party member in a PUG "did you get the floor completition temp item yes/no?"

This could be solved by adding a new way to handle this ccontent, where the party leader is the one that brings people up/down and when he does so, the whole party is ported up.
Would they even be able to implement this technically? I guess it would solve this issue but it would create issues for situations where someone crashes or DCs, I suppose...

I read it as all of the listed campaigns will be active during both phases.

Can only assume they want 2 week blocks with some break inbetween for metrics reasons.

And then because vanabout is going to start the 6th, the have to do a short 2nd campaign.

But it's just asinine. Push bout back a week and do 2/1/2 or just run 3 full weeks.

In the past I thought they were opting for shorter campaigns for those they deemed "too good" to be lasting the whole period of time, but now I'm a bit puzzled about it, honestly.

uBlock origin, like Kaffy said, will block these and all "gimme your email" popups like it.

I never even knew there was such a popup on that site.



Make sure you enable all the "unfuck me" settings in ublock, to stop the anti-anti-anti-adblocks.

Don't worry about it.

In SE's defense, what we players usually do not always understand, is that it can be challenging to create content that is engaging but not frustrating, that it's fun, makes people want to participate in it, but at the same time doesn't offer TOO MUCH rewards or players are able to get everything they want in 2 weeks and then forget about the event.
And it's even harder to do without creating blatant gating that more often than not end up annoying the users.

Now imagine achieving this, which is already a very hard goal, with a team of 3 people who aren't even working full time on FFXI.

...Yeah, it's hard, very hard.
And considering how convoluted maybe but very nice, smart, smooth and thoghtful their "gating" system for Limbus is, it's kind of a shame that they didn't manage to nail it -for now- with the attractiveness of the gear or anything else the content has to offer.
It's really a shame, they did so many things right with this content it truly deserves more.

Omega/Ultima are incoming, I'm not sure they will provide enough motivation, but hopefully they will adjust other things too when they add those. I expect them to arrive before the end of the year at a wild guess?

One of the dumbest things in the game from a new player / returnee perspective is the Ilevel system.

I quit in 2012-3 and was gone for 4 years or so, I came back and they added all the new stuff. I was really casual, only intended to finish Rhapsodies and then quit again.

I got stuck on the last Rhapsodies boss and so had to engage with progression to beat it (ironically, if someone had beaten that boss for me I probably would have quit), I got parts of AF/Relic/Emp to the first "good stage" and tried again (109) and got destroyed even harder. The game effectively punished me for engaging with progression with gear that looked better (due to job boosts etc) but was worse than the sparks gear I had on, especially in how much it weakened my trusts.

Many players would probably quit here, cause the game punishes you for putting tens of hours into progression with worse gear and you don't even know why.

I read up on why this was the case, and saw that Ilevel directly leveled up/down your trusts etc and so did Ambuscade to get the proper 119 gear.

It's wild to me they still have not changed this over 9+ years later, at bare minimum the first stage of af/relic/emp gear should be 117 and not 109.

As a tool, of course it's going to be a sycophant to its user.

Nobody serious wants anything else.

I quit for 6 years but came back 2 months ago with a twist, I started new character to play with friends that are on bahamut, leaving my valefor ones still inactive.

My personal feeling is that if anyone returns to the game / picks it up for the first time, just take your time with it.

There is a lot of ways to skip gear progression or get carried these days, but I personally am savoring incremental progression with fresh character, doing stuff with my friends and enjoying the struggle gearing ourselves and working through all the content again.
Just killed my 1st Ghatjot the other night with hightier battlefield/ambu gear, it was fun, im enjoying the small victories heh.

Casual to me personally is not caring if i'm capped on imprimaturs, omen Ki's, etc for a day or two cause im not in the mood to do that content.

This game can still devour every free moment of your time if you allow it, but its enjoyable at a slow pace in small time chunks if you want to savor the journey instead of trying to be at 'endgame'
