At the end of the day, it's no one else business but your own. More scary is people that are enraged and feel attacked by your decision to not play the game. |

No one will make NQ
It's definitely going to cost a lot upgrading +1 to be eaten by +2

Wording suggests you can transfer augmented number directly to the higher tier at only a cost of consuming the lower tier item What if even the NQ costs loads and higher tiers obscenely more but you can't afford it for a long time? Gonna be costly. This is always how necks should have been since NQ/+1 are dirt cheap. |

do you still get the 138 defense from null masque or did it get nerfed to 0 defense?
They dedicated a entire set to sword enhancement spell damage? Glad to see RDM finally getting the buffs it so desperately needs.
rdm is at a great place right now, some might even say its op. Don't think any buffs are needed without offsetting the job balances.
The sword enhancement set might make rdm op though, might see a nerf coming. Rdm VD odin solo or anything that can be cheesed with 0 dmg enspell would be abused. THing is.. it might be difficult to actually use the new set for 0 dmg enspell strats.. The set has a freaking Ton of STR/ATk.. to the point that you could start hitting for non-0 damage with a 1 dmg weapon. this is apparently already a problem for ML50 RDMs on VD Odin HTMB. So... while I think the set is an excellent addition to RDM enspell TP sets in general.. it could actually be counterproductive to the no TP feed enspell strats. |

I usually agree with you on just about everything, but be real here. It was mentioned in one month's version update 3 years ago and it's not commonly discussed. I think there are probably quite a few people who weren't aware it was possible, so the thread could be extremely helpful. Don't engage with the troll, he's been in training since age 13 to become as snarky and pseudo-intellectual as he thinks he is on the internet. Even if you block him he still shitposts against your every post. |

Well, bug report submitted. Whether SE does anything about it is another matter. But... the attempt was made. |

Sir
Theyre crafted
That “third stage” is +2 version At least you can start augmenting the NQ, then trash when you buy the +1 and/or +2! That's not nothing. |

Had the same problem, fixed it by enabling windows button on windower, for some reason thqt fixed it

because SE didn't implement the Blue mage / automaton spell sets that they announced on 1/1/2025 ...but I think what we got in Limbus and content in 2025 is much better (at least so far)
Wasn't that still on the roadmap as of last freshly picked or did they completely drop it? I thought it was still in the works.
Still wish they'd rework the jug system for BST...  |

Looking at base armor sets some of the pieces are interesting? Seems on par-ish with unaugmented Odyssey gear when fully upgraded to the 3rd stage. Assuming they also get augments, could worth it a bit.

Some of you just forget it's an MMO and you should group up.

It's always wild to me when people say nothing in XI is hard, literally everything in the game is hard. Some of you have never played other mmorpgs.
Even just gearing up well enough to do the harder stuff can take years.

I mean, maybe they want people to switch servers., but instead of directly forcing them, they encourage them with limbus ;)

In my case, Alt + Esc seems to cycle open windows.
For instance, it goes FFXI 1 > FFXI 2 > Discord > Internet.
Alt + tab shoud do FFXI 1 > FFXI 2 > FFXI 1 but goes FFXI 1 > FFXI 2 > Internet > FFXI 2.
T__T so annoying, I'm using windows+key binds so that fix doesn't suit me ; ;

With the exception of Absolute Virtue, no content was particularly difficult after we figured it out.
I mean, it seems like they've hesitant about pressuring players to do tough fights since the PW debacle. In 2016, when they did decide to return to the idea of "Apex Encounters", they explicitly decided to give them cosmetic rewards only. As best I can tell, the game has had difficult encounters, but not many people want to clear for a cosmetic. And as easy(?) as the V25s were, it was difficult enough to cause a fair share of rage-quits.
This is just my limited new(ish) player's perspective. Could be wrong.
You're not wrong. I was simplifying matters in order to say that the game's difficulty has been a fairly static variable. Once you know how to overcome an encounter, unless you're relying on RNG, you can do it 100% of the time due to the lack of mechanical requirements in the game. It doesn't require lighting fast response times or brilliant reads in order to win. The closest it ever came to being a mechanically difficult game was when attacks/abilities were churned out at a much slower pace, and you had to proactively predict, account for timing, and manage input/server lag. Even then you only had to be dialed in for solo and low-man attempts.
I've been playing since release (with a couple notable breaks), and we've always had rage quits (of course!). Most of the time they have been due bad drop luck, a lack of patience, a lack of game knowledge, or a lack of a competent/dedicated group. Some of the V25 stuff requires at least a couple of those components, so it totally makes sense that people rage quit over it.
As somebody who used to be one of the "elite snob" players that a certain poster here is aspiring to become, I just wanted to weigh in on the convo. I'm having a lot of fun with the game these days, and I don't find it any more or less difficult than it used to be. (I will say SE has eliminated a LOT of the grind, however.) |

Also, if anyone cares the messages can end with different punctuation. I have no idea what they mean unfortunately:
Code
116 You feel like there's an impossible to gauge thud left to be made!
311 You feel like there's an impossible to gauge thud left to be made.
322 You feel like there's an impossible to gauge thud left to be made...?
381 You feel like there's a huge sound left to be made...?
507 You feel like there's a huge sound left to be made!
621 You feel like there's a huge sound left to be made.

Thanks for reconfirming. Pre-patch, I thought I recalled seeing hits go from ~1k to 500s after stacking pure DT vs PDT/MDT specifically. But maybe I'm mistaken.
Hope they take another look at this, or at least confirm if this is working as intended.
On another note, have you guys seen BST or PUP actually summon their pets? I know SMN periodically calls them (unsure on conditions), but I have yet to see an Automaton or BST pet.

PDT/DT does *** all. No visible difference in dmg between burtgang or not. Further, taking a hit naked only increased dmg by a sub 100 value. If DT had been working it should have doubled, at least(not to mention the DEF/VIT changes from stripping all gear)
- DEF is weirdly ineffective. Being Aegis Schism'd down to 500~ def(from 2,300+), made no notable difference. There might have been a change, but if so it was sub 100 dmg.
Counterstance tanking is back in i see |

Alternative thought to the 0/1. Maybe instead of getting the ???, its finding the mob that IS ITG instead.

Let's all chill out, and take this to PMs or somewhere else. Dev Tracker discussion has had enough of it, me thinks.
