Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

so yeah I get a job posting from my college ... and one of them...






As long as I get to keep it, i'm ok with this.

Female highlander:



Female roegadyn (galka):

Dem Germans

I may actually make a female roe, but as for my main I'll keep it lalafell or a male mi'qote

Let me lay it on you, baby. It's because you won't cast on our couch. Anyway...

Pros:

1. Leveling with Grounds of Valor is stupid fast. They can literally learn the basic battle mechanics by solo playing Rdm or Whm to about level 15 or so, then go to Gusgen Mines, dither around while waiting for an alliance, and then they can be level 50 by the end of the day... depending on how long they get to stay/how good the alliance is, etc.

2. Grounds of Valor allows you to power level someone with a non-mage job. If you friend leads a busy life, and they just want to advance up so they can do some of the story sequence, but you still have lots of time to do stuff, they can leave their character AFK and get free levels.

3. GoV/FoV tabs make getting around and back to your home nation a cinch.

4. Gear is pretty cheap these days, but crystal prices are pretty constant, so low level farming isn't too bad.

5. If you come to Bismarck you can be sexy with Josi.

Cons:

1. There aren't as many people dithering around the home nations as there used to be, and you really miss out on meeting tons of people early on.

2. Gusgen Mines leveling leaves you skill deficient, so you have to go skill up, which is another best-done solo type thing.

3. Your inventory is ultra limited, and the fame quests aren't cheap.

There's more cons, but at work, and actually have to work.

Probably gonna stick to hume :)

They should add Bangaas, I would totally be one and perv on my friend with emotes lol

Was a big fan of hybrid races myself, would've been pretty cool~

I lied. Rowland here's the other cons.

4. Compared to you, they'll probably be about as useful as the straw house was to the first little pig. Even after you get them up to around max level, if you help them with story sequences, then you're likely to take most of the fun out of it.

5. Even if they are useful, because maybe you've gone soft in your venerable age, they still get so HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE strong leveling to 90+ that this might detract from the fun.

All I can think of right now.

Quaggan Backpack lol

The new way of leveling makes it very easy to catch up to everyone to endgame, however, this is a great thing for all people coming back to the game, for people completely new I still think FFXI is really not as enjoyable. Depends on what kind of gamer he is. If he enjoys putting all the attention on the endgame, gear farming etc, then sure go ahead, however, all of the rest has kinda disappeared.
I would highly suggest doing at least the missions each at the corresponding level, if anything to experience that part of the fun we had back then, because going at 99 and oneshotting X boss is really not as inspiring. And also I would encourage exploration, I loved running around discovering new places when I was a low level newbie.

I level sync'd to my lv30 mule with a couple of friends to get the Promy missions done for her just because it was more fun. I was never happy SE lifted the cap on those areas. Took away the challenge.

It's near impossible to get 5 other people to do a level 30 Promy these days unless you're a long time player with enough friends that would care to spend atleast 4 hours doing them again for the eleventh time.

I never said it was always possible, but for me at the time it was an option, and it was way more fun.

good mor...
GDI catnip!
....

...did you know your avi comes from a yaoi series?

I didn't until I researched it, and even then.

Gonna use it :p

-addblocks cnt's avi-

sheesh fine i'll change it.

Trying to figure out how to reformat .. or reinstall or w/e this stupid OS on this macbook :| never done it lol so really not sure if I am doing it right or wrong :|


Then I gotta figure out how to dual boot it again with bootcamp x.x

I thought that avatar was fine CNT.. god forbid people use something other then big *** or half naked female anime characters for avatars.

it's not really suggestive tbh, (changed it back muahah) I dunno ... it's simple and funny lol.

I'm more bothered by the mouth moving senselessly actually o.o

Not that being suggestive is an issue but how is it not suggestive? lol...

I agree with this. One of my most fun and recent experiences was leveling my Elvaan Rdm on Bismarck, and when I got to level 50 I soloed CoP up till Chapter 3. Then I leveled up to level 64, so that I would have erase from Whm sub and continued to go through COP.

The 4-2 Ouryu fight is insanely fun to solo as a level 64RDM/32WHM. It was also challenging. It took me, a 9 year FFXI veteran, 2 tries. I would also say that it's not possible for any other job at that level.

Anyone remember when having to keep cap gear for this and other stuff meant that you couldn't consider leveling more jobs due to inventory?

ok ok bad word there lol uh ...


it's not...



ok yeah it's suggestive ... at least he has a 'cover'

As long as you can't see the weewee is fine.

Hey Josi. I need to ask you for help with something in game.
