Most Annoying Problom With Abyssa

^_^ I'm not complaining or trying to "turn it into WoW" I'm just thinking of something that would help in situations :) When it comes to MMOs a lot is different, yet some things remain the same because, "if it works, keep reapplying it to make the general public happy" pretty much a rule o' thumb for lots of things. FFXI still has lots of stuff on it's own to not be "Wow"

I wish FFXI didn't change like it did. When you accomplished something that was difficult, etc, it gave you a sense of "pride" ... ugh hence CoP... lol.. another story for another time

:( it seems to bring out the cryers in people, but, what are you going to do? SE changes things. If it's not in your favor, go play a different game or suck it up and keep playing. No one is forcing you either way. I agree, it's sad to see players act like this :(

CoP was never difficult

FFXI has a dying population. Is it coincidental that NMs can be soloed now?

I think not.

There's new MMOs coming out. Check out RIFT. It's a WoW clone with prettier graphics. Have fun. Go Play.

9/10 that still won't kill them if they're NIN/DNC or DNC/NIN. If they're soloing, it usually means they know what they're doing...

oop, sorry, I mean to say that the change with CoP was just annoying, that's all ^_^ Not that it was difficult.

But seriously, as for the WoW.. bleh. My husband played it, I tried it, but found myself missing the FFXI scene. I know, people are going to be like, "then why make Abyssea like WoW if you didn't like WoW?" lol, kinda makes me giggle (not in a mean way towards who might think it) that doesn't make it like WoW. It would just help big groups of people (like the OP wants) Think of it like this way then, it would just be a spin-off of Dynamis. Dynamis is almost exactly like WoW's instances now.. right? The only difference (At least I think so, I really didn't get much into WoW to get more differences, but eh lol) is that ONE group can go in that area and it's saved. Just take out the "saved" part.

I think that small change to Abyssea wouldn't make it like WoW. Ya.. it might come from it, (but what games haven't taken ideas from one another) but there are WAY MORE things you would have to change to FFXI to make it WoW.

truth in its purest form

I think everyone is forgetting that there should not be large groups other than exp alliances in Abyssea in the first place.

No didn't manage to solo it, after being the *** that I am and holding it as long as I could, I joined up with them after making sure my friend could have the coins. Bst duo/trio could do it in maybe 30 minutes with pets swapping hate. He was missing dipper alot but not enough and when he did hit even with -30% pdt was still almost 400 dmg. TP moves hitting almost 1k.

rage timers

Havent noticed this myself but do the Abyssea NM's rage at a faster rate than others?

Or people who have an ls that like to get things done faster by splitting up?

its not a WoW clone. its like a modern version of Dark Age of Camelot

No, that's stupid. Here's what they really should do:
1. Another marble bonanza, 1 marble. Pick a number IN BETWEEN 0 and 2, odd, whole numbers only, please. Winners will receive Atma of the *** Lazy *** Whining ***. It works everywhere, even outside Abyssea. As soon as zone enter a zone, every enemy dies. Every enemy will now also drop every item in the game, 100% drop rate.

2. Infinite Inventory.

3. Combat and magic skills increase by 1 point every second you are logged in. Caps to skill levels are removed.

4. New HP/MP scale: each "1" point now represents 1million points.

5. Treasure hunter, being no longer necessary, works similarly to Gilfinder. For every mob now drops at least one, but no more than seven million gil per number of people logged in to the server. TH is now an ability for all jobs and subjobs.

6. *** you.

Wow... and I thought I was annoyed.

Funny how ppl say how back before Abyssea it was hard and blah blah blah...

IT NEVER BEEN hard... jeez, the only hardest part back before was how about all freaking HNM LS + Boter monopolizing everything. And yet i don't even understand how ppl can end to complain about how SE fixed this major issue that lasted for almost 6yr long..

Who don't remember how hard was Sky, huh hard? no way, fighting again RMT for Ulli was hard yes, NM itself never been hard...

For dynamis, that was not really hard too, different yes bc you had to have tons of player to accomplice a zone, hardest part of dynamis was to make sure no one aggro random stuff and actually follow instruction, if is that you call hard, i would more likely call this ANNOYING, not hard..

So what next, Fafnir/Nid hard? Lmao must be kidding me, these NM been low maned forever. The only reason HNMLS had 30+ member out there was just to add more bot to outclaim other LS.

CoP hard? for sure no, it never been hard, except if you tagged those quest with dumb ppl, but that is still the same story for abyssea and never really will change.

Humans arnt subject to natural selection.

How about looking at it from the solo side?

Have you ever rolled up to an NM you know you can kill in 5-10min only to watch a group take 20+ minutes to kill it because they don't know how to focus on getting !! quickly or are just really slow?

Example: I went to get SAM Head Seals from Pallid Percy the other night on MNK/DNC since I can kill it in 5~7min while going for blue !! (if blunt time is up). I get to the ??? only to find a THF, DNC, RDM trio who just popped the NM right as I got there. I think that's cool we can take turns while they kill I can get another pop anyways.

10 minutes later they haven't triggered yellow, red or blue !! and the NM is around 50%, logical thought maybe they're waiting for someone to help with !!s w/e not worried about my time I have stones to spare. 20~min later they kill the NM... fortunately they didn't need SAM seals and invite me for the seal.

I join up with them we pop mine and kill it in less than 3min, not once did anyone ask to slow down for !!s so obviously they were just slow as hell. We killed 3 more NMs in about the time it took them to kill the first one I saw... I didn't know them personally so maybe they didn't have good atmas/gear/whatever but this hasn't been the only case where I show up to solo a NM to find a group take at least twice as long as I would to solo said NM...

Either way it is annoying from the solo or group side there isn't a way to solve this besides having multiple of the same NM spawned at the same time. Quit bitching and find something else to do while you're waiting. After all I find it odd that a full alliance would only be interested in 1 NM in an entire zone and couldn't find another to kill while waiting.

Edit because I forgot how to spell NM's name.

Why?

Maybe he just really, REALLY wanted an Incantor Stone?

Other than to change things up no real reason. Its a really boring fight.

What is the problom here?

Man, your grammar is awful.

Am I missing something? I clicked that link and its about children dealing with a loss of a loved one. I might be confused but how would that warrant the use of the term butthurt?


Your implying that grieving over the loss of a loved one is taking the death too personally? This got a +2 ratting on the first page so I assume I'm just not understanding the joke here.

I'll have a number 1, hold the zone death and the drops all items, but keep the 100% drop rate. A number 2. A number 5. And two number 6's.

Ehh I'm feeling frisky today so I'll just stick with a #2 and 2 #6's.

You.
