    me too
    I thought the interface was a refreshing change, but I understand how it is not everyone's cup of tea. Snap, I found you easily, and hung out next to you for a short while before going to bed. I will log in again this afternoon.

    I played FFXI for a while. If it weren't for the messed up key-bindings and the general clunkiness of the interface, I'd probably still be playing it today. I think I got to about level 7 before I lost my steam.

    I found that using a gamepad solves alot of the interface issues that I had.

    I don't get it.

    I always felt like FFXI had the most intuitive, easy interface ever, especially after becoming acclamated to it.

    I think that it's just different and people don't want to bother with learning a new way to play.

    It's very technical but once you're accustomed to it, it's pretty much automatic.

    Hey, can you summon anything if Summoner is your sub job? I'm thinking no, but I've got this bet going...

    Yes you can, but your summing skill is halved due to the subjob

    Edit: Just had my first full party wipeout since Valkrum dunes I think.

    On an unrelated note, I just unlocked Pupetmaster, and I can officially be said to have a high level job for my character. I left the mid levels yesterday by attaining level 51 on White Mage.

    I was going by thirds. Upper, middle, low. 1-25, 26-50, 51-75.

    If you look at it in experience points, though, you're not even halfway to 75.

    Don't worry, in around four levels you will have access to delicious Aht Urhgan EXP parties.

    As far as I know, the only people that even logged on aside from myself and Xero was Shoe. Everyone else was all like "Sure, I will play... Oh! look at the pretty bird I sure do like ice cream especially with sprinkles!"

    My friend wants one. I might reinstall sometime soon, too, so it could be for two of us.

    Important note: Unless your Ninja is the son of God, don't let him/her tank post-50. Your White Mage will die and be angry.

    I don't think I have ever been accused of being a bad White Mage.

    Unrelated note: Worldpass number is 3371559883.

    Then the ninja sucks. Or get a thief. And if you have one, then he isn't doing his job either. And if he's doing his job, his partner isn't. Replace his partner with a Dragoon who doesn't suck. Unless it's the other side of the L3 skillchain, then get like a warrior.

    I'm going to make a Hume or Taru RDM. My friend is going to make an Elvaan Warrior to eventually become a DRK, I think.

    Time for the looooooooooooong patching.

    To elaborate a bit on the Ninja issue. Yesterday I had a Ninja tank in Kuftal tunnel fighting crabs. Some of us died because the tank couldn't hold agro.

    Today, with my Kuftal experience ( or lack thereof ) fresh on my mind I partied again with a ninja tank, and after the first monster I told him he had one more chance to get his emitity properly managed. HE said he could.

    The second monster was no better than the first, but some of the party agreed with him that he should have one more monster. Again, I conceeded.

    The third monster was no better than the first, so I called a halt to it. The ninja whacked a nearby monster and used his two hour to get back to the city, and the monster then proceded to chase us out of the area.

    Two of us died during the eviction.

    Red Mage is the only thing Hume is best at, Tarus invalidate the swordsmanship of the job since they're so damn weak. And later on you can do some serious ass kicking solo with Red Mage, but I'd imagine it'd be way more risky with Taru.

    I wouldn't know really, I played after PC release, and compared to then it's fucking easy. Every class has been itemized up the ass thanks to Assault so the "lol u dun hav gud armr" arguements are gone.

    I guess the Aht Urghan shit is fun, I never tried really since I just quit after fucking buying it. And personal custom chocobos come out next month with various shapes and colors.

    There is lots of new stuff what with the expansions, but the stuff that was already there is much the same. Tweaks here and there, but the overall experience seems the same.

    Did they alter the EXP needed to level? I heard the slope has been made significantly easier.

    It's like freaking baby mode compared to PC release. There's RINGS you can equip use, then unequip for a freebie 1k exp every 16 hours, and to recharge it's 7 or so charges, you only need to spend a small amount of Conquest Points.

    Let me know when you log in again and I will give you a pearl to our LS. If you don't catch me online, see Reww, Saine, Ormi, or Yummura. They can also give you a pearl.
