Heh. A long time ago, I predicted that they'd increase the totals for non-job categories any time they needed to give level 75s more to merit. The magic total increase will matter a great deal more than the weapon. There are magic-based jobs that can benefit a great deal from having multiple skills ...

Considering Salvage gear is probably the best in game EVER it is very much worth the effort, it's just a bloody pain it requires so much Assault Points :x Like most end-game sets, whether it's useful or not depends a great deal on which job you're talking about. Ninja, for instance, has pretty much...

I'm of Tsybil's persuasion -- I try to keep it under 100mph. That's the "exhibition of speed" limit (a 2 point violation). I'm one of the few polite speeders, though. I don't weave madly around traffic just to maintain my 90mp habbit or run up on someone's bumper to scare them off the road...

The problem with driving tests is that they're a lot more concerned with how precisely you follow the laws than with how safe you are. For instance, do you put your turn signal on for 3s BEFORE you change lanes? That would be suicide in today's highway traffic, but it's what you're supposed to do. A...

Also, (although it isnt enforced in my area or prolly many other places) according to the vehicle code in my state, bikes are supposed to be on the street only. Yeah, street only. Another pet peeve of mine are bikers that don't ride in the street and/or don't follow the traffic rules; eg. they run ...

She's probably talking about the Shrub (bush jr.).

Driving all day with the parking break on is damn blonde. Tell her that it's OK to think now and then. -- Scariest drivers on the road are, imho, women driving an SUV. Paritcularly, but not exclusively, women driving an SUV with brats in the back. It's never a guy in those things. I almost got hit b...

Player skill? Sounds more like player dedication to me. Pretty much the same thing for FFXI. It's not really a "skill" game in the manual dexterity sense. FFXI skill comes in the form of judgment and preparation -- heavy on the preparation. Those that lack the temperament for doing things...

"Farming people"? Uh, just what kind of mithra are you?

If you can, do DM only with players that have completed COP. Actually, if you can, only play with people that have completed COP. Honestly, COP is like a test for player skill. If you tell a random person "this is hard" they'll just say "yeah, whatever" and things likely won't wo...

Changes to RoZ that make it easier to get people to do RoZ NM fights would be nice. I've heard its damn near impossible to get Sky now. You're joking, aren't you? We can do zero to sky in a day without hardly trying; most of the time is spent running around. The fights are a joke. Even DM, which wa...

They could just add a "make-over" quest that permits folks to choose a different face entirely. It's not as if you're changing your character's name. People will still know you. You'll just have a different look. LOL -- it would be a great way to suck gil out of the female side of the econ...

I can't believe they're making any of the promies easier -- they're already so easy they're boring. I can understand making the snoll easier, though. The "DPS test" BCs are all quite ill conceived, since many jobs are completely unsuitable for that kind of BC. Changing the BCs around a lit...

Any healer + blinker can duo him very easily, but he's kinda hard solo. RDM/nin should be able to solo him, but if you ever skip a blink thinking "oh, I can put it up later and let SS eat the damage", you need to think again. Aim for extremely defensive style. I solo'd him myself -- I'm pr...

LOL.

I almost took a screenshot last night when I "dinged" 240 parry on NIN. *Just* 29 more points to go, which should only take about three more years playing at my current rate.

You didn't have a category for my playstyle. I don't play every day; I'd go insane if I did (actually, I have played every day before, so I know this from experience). I do 3 times a week for about 10H total (two dynamis runs and one sky).

Actually, as far as "the internet is not a giant truck for you to dump things on for free" goes, I think that is probably one of the best comments I've seen from anyone in government. It's EXPENSIVE to fund everyone else's garbage on the wire. The only reason spam is so damn profitable is ...

A.) Should I get fenrir, even if I'm only taking SMN to 37. And if so, when will it become useful. I know it gets an AoE Dispel (Two buffs dispelled) at about 32, but before then is their any use except E-peen size? Fenrir is by far the best summons for low level xp. I used to summon him and run up...

WO has just about the best trailer I've ever seen for a MMORPG, but there are no cats. None of the races even have a tail. It's just another orcs versus elves thing. Soooo tired of orcs and elves in games. OTH, I gave Vanguard a try. If your PC can run it (most can't), it's really damn nice visually...

There are really only two types: { cats } and { worshipers } . It's no diferent in MP, really. Those without tails simply serve those who do -- though there are some who would deny it, they're just shy about admitting it. It's a { cat } thing. BTW, what's a "furry" or a "furry culture...

Yeah, Despot is the new bottleneck for Byakko. Uli can still be camped up pretty hard with every golem slain the instant it pops and people hovering over the ??? ready to slap a trigger on it when it respawns, too. Still, that's so much nicer than standing around for 5H trying to snag Uli in the old...

Sky is so much fun without the giant RMT speedbump at Ulikimi. Our sky shell decided to reform after the RMT patch and give it another try, but just one day a week instead of two. Without RMT blocking Uli, there's pretty much no other spot they can use in sky to force people to pay them. So, trigger...

Finally got a swift belt to complete my haste set. I've had a stack of codexes lying around for over a year. 1/1 on drop -- time to sell off the extras. ^^

Pretty cool for newbies. It's a good thing.

I had to laugh at the "How to make money" section. It showed a little taru farming silk thread from crawlers as the example.

PIE!

I had to ask myself "Why am I watching this kid?" and "What is he saying?" too many times. Only got a short way into the clip.

I think it's creepy that they're so involved in her career to the point of watching her movies. That's sounds much too much like perversion. Supportive is cool, though. Nothing wrong or even inherently odd in public sex for humans. It's actually pretty damn normal for our species. I'm a child of my ...

For some fun in the caverns, try doing the NMs. They're all easily soloable by a RDM. At least they're very easy for a nin or thf and rdm can outsolo either of those two blindfolded. Generally just have to be prepared. The trick is to use the train-depop feature to pull the NM and split it away from...

I heard Northlands Dynamis have pretty sucky drop rate D: Yeah they do, the droprate in the northlands is extremely low compared to the droprate in the cities, however also that can differ greatly. I've had cities where only one AF dropped and Beaucedine runs where we got over 5 AFs. Xarcabard NMs ...

10/10 for AF2 now. Just finished my Ninja set. Looks like I need to level another job to 75! /shocked :o :shock: I'm 3/10 (2/5 DRG 1/5 WAR), you're one lucky kitty. Well, I've been doing dynamis since it was released. 3 (?) years for 10 af2 is about normal. A number of the more determined folks tha...

Im sure Charisma has other effects as well, but Ive yet to find proof of it. I am fairly certain that it has something to do with intimidation. I'll try it out with BLU when I get high enough to equip some +CHR gear. Level 8 with stoneskin and beast-killer? I cannot believe how awesome this job is....
