Final Fantasy 11 Have it?

[TheFallenAngel]

Do you have Final fantasy 11? IF you do And other memebrs do it would be cool to talk with them on it. I just got it yesterday and as soon as it fisnished updatins server maintenance went on it was annn oying . IF you do have it What class job race level are you?

[Kenji4200]

i have it u can find me in the world Kenji4200

[Dark Phire]

*sigh*....ok, first of all, the only way you're going to talk to people is if they are on the same server as you..i think they have um....30 servers now? the the odds of that are slim. I HAD the game, but gave it up because world of warcraft is coming out shortly...and i can only manage one mmorpg in my life. I was a level 11 Mithra black mage. And i was on the Ifrit server...

[jinx]

I am a hume, lvl 26 (haven't played in awhile).

I also have an elvaan, lvl 30 monk.

But yeah, I'm sure I'll get back into the game.

[Tsukasa]

i started about a month ago. i'm a lvl. 8 Hume w/ Red Mage as a job. i'm in Gilgamesh server though. my chars. name is Sourn.

[QueerEye]

i was talking to my freind sean and he said the game was good at frist but then it gets boring i never got it cuz im waiting for wow (world of warcraft) but anywayz now he hates it so much he want to give it to me he said it was a waste of money i myself never liked it to the point where i would have bought it

[Slipknot666]

I've been playing for exactly 30 days (my trial period ended today according to automated messages) and I'm a lvl 20 Galkan warrior with a lvl 8 thief subjob and its on the fairy server. Name is Himurakenshin so obviously I was planning on getting samurai advanced job for him, but now I'm unsure as whether or not I'd rather walk the path of the ranger or paladin instead. :( Guess I'll just have to try 'em all and see which one suits my fancy most. Although I've heard ranger is the most powerful job in the game so I think I might just have to stick with that :) Plus it has widescan so monster finding will be a breeze. If you wanna play on this server I SUPPOSE I could be a nice guy and get you a world pass if you PM me but if too many ppl start asking me I'm just gonna say fúck it all cuz I need to save up gil for a goddamn lantern shield if I don't find one today. Damn high lvl JP players camping low lvl NMs and overpricing their rare drops...I will kill them all...

[xjeffx]

i'd be a lvl 13 elvaan warrior on the lakshire server or something crazy like that. still considering what other job i wanna be right now tho...

[jinx]

Okay, more info on my people.

My Elvaan is a level 30 Monk.

My Hume is a level 26 Red Mage (going for Beastmaster once I get to level 30).

I am on the Gilgamesh server.

If you ever want to know who I am, just tell me.

[jknite]

you are an idiot jinx you can only have one account at a time unless you have two diffrent keys.

[SpeedyShark02]

i dont really wana buy it cuz u have to pay a monthly fee... sooo ghey >.<

[jinx]

you are an idiot jinx you can only have one account at a time unless you have two diffrent keys.

You are the most retarded ****head I've ever seen.

I have one account, yes. But I have two characters. Want to know why? Because I bought an extra one so I can make an extra character.

Stop acting like you know something when you clearly don't (example would be you thinking you know everything about communism when you know absolutely nothing about it you fake commie.)

You can't beat me jknite, just stop. I haven't made any mistakes, you are making a bolt load. Stop stop trying or leave.

[Dark Phire]

Yes, this is true, you can buy an extra character for a mere dollar. Its not that hard either. It says it everywhere, so i dont know how you could not know that if you've ever played the game.

[BoYmOnK3YmAgIc]

im thinking about getting it for my ps2.. is it any good? Is it like D2?

[jinx]

NOTHING like D2. D2 is not a MMORPG.

It's good, but I'm not sure about PS2. You still have to pay per month, I do believe, and you need a keyboard for PS2.

[llescaflownell]

hmmm i dont have it but my roommate does, and it looks pretty awesome! i cant get the game because my laptop has the wrong graphics card :cry:

[Icewind]

i havent gotten it because i dont want to wast my money on it if it get popluar on like PS2 or something plus i need a new comp

[Icewind]

NOTHING like D2. D2 is not a MMORPG.

It's good, but I'm not sure about PS2. You still have to pay per month, I do believe, and you need a keyboard for PS2.


PS2 uses a usb port so you can plug in a mouse or a keybord of you got the hook up fore it

:2gun:

[Dart082]

how much is the monthly fee because im thinking about getting it, my friend has it and says its really good.but i wanna know if its worth the monthly fee.

[BoYmOnK3YmAgIc]

well i have the right graphics and everything on comp i just thought about putting it on my ps2 just to save my comp the strain and memory but it can handle it. ^_^... are the graphics any different between the PC version and the PS2 version.. (know its not out yet for PS2 but is there?) and do you know for sure if you have to pay monthly for ps2

[Vengeance]

this topic has been done 3 or 4 times plz look for old posts before makin a new thread it makes up a lot of spam

[jinx]

Umm...who are you? Leave and never come back.


Anyways, if anyone wants to come to the Gilgamesh server where I am, just tell me, I'll buy you a world pass.

[FallenWings]

hehe, some people are getting a little loud up in here, but thats ok. I got a level 15 Mithra Monk, and the other day i made a new Human Warrior. He's level 10 now. Its pretty cool cuz i get to use a GreatSword now...they own.

[reddog999]

I REALLY want it for my PS2 but I use cable to get online and my phone company will only let me play online with dial-up.

But, if I started playing, I'll tell you what I would try to be.

A human dragoon with samurai as supporting job. A mercenary, like I am on Runescape. And give free advice like I have in Runescape and in real life and even on this forum.

[_TheNoLifeKing_]

The ps2 cost wont be monthly just a flat charge.

[reddog999]

If your answering my question, that isn't the problem. I use a cable wire. The thing from your TV to the wall. (for all the kids who don't know) Instead of dial-up. (phone to wall) As for the PC charge, I can't find a modem that connects cable. ( I tried once with Phantasy Star Online Episode 1 and 2. That really backfired.)

[jinx]

A human dragoon with samurai as supporting job. A mercenary, like I am on Runescape. And give free advice like I have in Runescape and in real life and even on this forum.

I can tell you right now, won't work. People want tanks, not things that just do damage and can't provoke (meaning get the thing to attack you so some other tank won't die). Oh and if you try and make a combination like that...good luck trying to get a party. Plus, if you're thinking that you'll be using any weapon besides a polearm, you're sh*t out of luck. Trust me, that's what I wanted to be, because I wanted the wvyern and the great katana, but no luck. You won't be able to fight because you won't be able to get a party. You're going to also have to get a main job up to lvl 30, go do the quests for both Samurai and Dragoon, then level up both of those, and have to get your subjob quest at lvl 18. Good luck...ha.

Also, no such thing as a "Mercenary." No. It's just flat out gaming for now. When FFXI gets more into it, maybe you'll have that, but I doubt it. Yea, and being a noob which I guess you are and will be to FFXI, you won't be giving advice, you'll be asking for it. Trust me, people in my linkshell (guild) ask for advice all the time (the newer players, not the vets like myself).

[Slipknot666]

The ps2 cost wont be monthly just a flat charge.
Doubtful, or else everyone would drop the PC version to play on PS2, it's overall a save of cash and well worth the drop in visual effects. Personally if I could play it for cheaper I would gladly drop the graphics of PC in favor of cheaper PS2 pay rates, provided the game play was still the same (or better even :D).
Anyways, my WAR is now up to 25 and my THF sub is still 9 lmao. I've been farming mostly and doing quests/missions and such. If you're on Fairy server gimme a tell, I am a galka named Himurakenshin. If you're not on Fairy server and you would like to be, PM me here at Dragid and I'll see about hookin' it up with a world pass. Just make sure you take Bastok as your home nation cuz we're hurtin' for people right now :) We're in first last I checked though :dgrin:

Weeeeeell, kinda of true and kind of not true. Most good parties will have three mages and three damage dealers. The only thing I'd really take over a Mithra Ranger/Warrior is a Galka or Elvaan Drg/Sam. Once you have a Whm and a good Pal who has the slightest clue what he's doing you've pretty much got the base of a good party.

Plus look at it like this:
Pentathrust with Sam subjob 65% Tp. Two slashes later You can Penta again. You'll probably grab hate right now so you can just Super Jump to get rid of that. If you don't have Super Jump the Pally Shield Bashes and uses Cure II to get it back. You just did 1000-1800 damage by *yourself*. This combo gets the exp rolling once you have enough Tp to Penta once.

Feel free to correct me.

You've got it right, mostly.

First of all, not all parties are the best, only about 5% are actually good with the jobs that you need. Most parties actually need vokers.

The damage you are talking about is when the DRG/SAM are at higher levels. Do you know how long it will get him to get that high to actually be doing that type of damage? Too long. First, lvl 30 regular job; then, he'll have to get a subjob (for that regular job) so he can actually get a party later on. Then you have to do the quests for both SAM and DRG; both are fairly hard if you don't know anyone. Then he'll have to get, BOTH DRG and SAM up high enough, both around lvl 30, then he'll have to get the DRG to lvl 60.

When he gets all that, I have no doubt it will be doing some nice damage. But for now, he won't have any luck.

[Bloodtear]

Sad but true. I admit defeat. The only real bonus of the job is the massive TP you'll get, something like 20%. It's success hinges upon being able to pull off two or more Wskills in a fight.

Why the hell is it that most parties suck? I had a Paladin who refused to provoke and tank in my party the other day. A Fugging Paladin! I mean...what the hell? Whitemages that want to nuke, Monks that want to tank...<goes on and on>

[Slipknot666]

Actually Samurai loses a lot of its usefulness when set as subjob. TP Store passive ability doesn't accumulate as much on sub as it does on main, and meditate gives less overall TP. You're better off going something like SAM/RNG in the higher levels if all you wanna do is damage, having SAM main gives you massive TP gain, and having RNG set as sub lets you use Bow/Gun Weapon Skills, and also having SAM as main means you can get that last TP Store, because there are 3 of them. Plus you can wear the SAM Artifact gloves that increase the effects of Rice Ball food items GREATLY, go to somewhere like www.ffxi.allakhazam.com or www.ffvault.com to see the end effects after using a Rice Ball with SAM AF Gloves on. And another piece of the Samurai AF gear (can't remember which off the top of my head, i believe it is the helm) enhances Meditate so you get more TP per use, raising the amount of TP gained when using Meditate on a Samurai main job to 140%. That's a free Weapon Skill right there. With SAM sub you can only get 60% TP from Meditate, plus you have to have your main at lvl 60 just to get Meditate with a SAM sub, because it is a lvl 30 SAM ability. Samurai is also one of the better jobs when it comes to bow, they have a good amount of agility for your ranged accuracy, and the Ranger sub can only help that. And SAM only gets Sidewinder WS 1 or 2 levels later than RNG, so you can wait that long right? You better be able to, especially since Sidewinder is easily one of the best (if not THE best) Weapon Skills in the game. Plus with the SAM 2 hour you can Sidewinder THREE TIMES IN A ROW if you get into a pinch, and that's not counting Meditate, or the TP you get from those hits. So all in all you could probably get off FIVE Sidewinders in one fight with the aid of SAM 2 hour, assuming the mob you're fighting lives that long. Sidewinder > Sidewinder > Sidewinder > Meditate > Sidewinder > Sidewinder, pretty big damage huh? Then throw a Barrage onto the end, just for good measure. Another good job combination for damage dealing is SAM/DRK, because with the Samurai main you can Renkai (skillchain) by yourself, and with the Dark Knight sub you can cast the appropriate elemental magic to Magic Burst that Renkai yourself. And yes, it DOES work, you just need to time it PERFECTLY, or damn near. I still like the idea of SAM/RNG though :D More my cup of tea, and it will be great when we get PvP.

[baka]

i....cant...wait...till....i....g...e.t......this. ..game....!!!! :D
i want it so bad..haha

[Bloodtear]

Slipknot, there's a really bad thing about that combo and a good reason why no one uses it.

Everything and their great-grandma will hate you forever.
When you're dealing THAT much damage (More than a Dark Knight using Soul Eater and Last Resort at the same time) You'll draw more aggro than a Pally doing Invincible. Hell, if a Pally can't get aggro off of you with Invincible you're screwed. The Samurai itself has crappy armor and Vit. The Ranger subjob has crappy Vit which will negatively affect the Sam's already crappy Vit.
In the end you're stuck with a large pile of crap. Not even a skilled Whitemage will be able to heal your mediocre hit points faster than anything can take them from you.
Not only that, after you die a miserable death because you have no way of getting rid of hate( Like Drg's Super Jump) The mob will rush the Whitemage and send it to hell before turning on everyone else.
Another thing is your bow skills just won't be that great. The highest bow a Sam can use is 40 or so. Whereas the Ranger gets the Arbalest. You'll have weak bows with arrows and weak weapon skills.

If I missed something post it and I'll burn it.

Correction, you will be burning nothing, unless it's something posted by someone else.
You wanna know how you keep from getting hate like that? BY REGULATING THE SPEED AT WHICH YOU ATTACK! Unless you're gonna do the penta-sidewinder method I was talkin' about, in which case the mob should be dead REAL quick and you shouldn't need to worry about hate, 5x Sidewinder will wipe out, or damn near wipe out, nearly any mob you're fighting, whether it be Incredibly Tough, Very Tough, Even Match, Decent Challenge, whatever, 5x Sidewinder will give your PT the ability to smash it in the throat. Plus I'm a galka, which have DECENT agility and AMAZING vit, so I could last through a couple well placed hits, and having RNG as a sub does not NEGATIVELY affect your vitality, it just doesn't add VERY MUCH vitality. Low vit sub does not mean you lose vit by making it your sub, it just means you don't get much gain off it.
And how is the last bow SAM gets at lvl 40? Apparently you know a lot less than you would have us believe. Seeing as how SAM can still get War Bow +1 or the even better Shigeto Bow and Shigeto Bow +1. You know, those two bows that SAM can use that are BETTER THAN A FRIGGIN' ARBALEST, cuz crossbows suck for RNG and basically everything else. And how does SAM have weak weapon skills? SLIGHTLY weaker than those of a RNG MAYBE, but FAR from weak, especially seeing as how, even without using your 2 hour, you can Sidewinder really fast, as in after only a few hits. After RNG the best class to use a bow is probably a tie between SAM and something with lots of agility like NIN or THF. Samurai have pretty high agility and they do good damage, not to mention the fact that you can WS over and over and over and over and over. Maybe someone should do their homework before trying to step to a suggestion put forth by someone who KNOWS WHAT THE HELL HE'S TALKING ABOUT?

You say I don't know as much I lead people to believe but you can't know too much if you think a Penta+SW combo is going to nearly kill anything.

Pentathrust, great skill. Sidewinder, great skill. Together they do massive damage.

Here's the good part though, that damage isn't gonna be sh** against an IT anything. Why? Because by the time you have Pentathrust you can be anywhere from 44-48. At these levels you should be in the Crawler's Nest. Rumble Crawlers are 52+ and pack amazing HP. 1500 damage is good but it ain't sh** to them. You MAY do 30% At which point it starts eating you alive.

As for the Arbalest, at level 50 and for it's delay and damage it's a DAMN good crossbow. The +1 is even better if you have the money for it.

Being a 55 Ranger I guess I should know these things. Yes, I know all about the War Bow and it's 70 some damage. I also know about it's massive delay. I can get two shots off with my Arbalest before a War Bow would even be ready to fire again. Hence why I tend to use guns/crossbows more than any Archery weapon. The only time I feel it necessary to use those is when I have an Alliance taking on an HNM because I have all the time in the world to shoot.

A Sam's weapon skills are FAR weaker than any thing a Ranger can do. You're simply too in love with your combo to admit it. Plus, Sam's have all right bow skills. They do better than average damage but simply can't compare with a Ranger's. Subbing Ranger will boost your bow attacks but I doubt it would help catch up to a Ranger/Warrior.
Oh, since you didn't seem to know the Later Gun skills you get are some of the most damaging you can get.

Ninja CAN use bows but it's not a wise choice when they have their own brand of throwing weapons made especially for them.

Thieves can use bows too....for pulling. Thieves are MUCH better with guns than they are bows.

Sam has high agility? Sam has sh*t-tastic agility. It might SEEM high to a Galka player but it's really piss poor. Maybe because you're subbing Ranger you're getting a better bonus.

As I stated before using your weapon skills over and over and over (as you so redundantly said) Is a bad idea because of...wait...I said this already. Let me put it in a way you'll understand:

Many Weapons Skills + High Damage= Massive Hate
Massive Hate + Pally who can't grab aggro + Frustrated Whitemage = Dead Samurai/Ranger

Because your armor sucks(It's about on the level of Ninjas and Monks at higher levels) You will die while the Whitemage tries to keep you alive. Since your "Use weapon skills over and over and over" strategy will draw a lot of hate and the Pally will have to keep grabbing aggro from you you'll do two things here. Piss of the Paladin for reseting his/her aggro and piss off the Whitemage because he/she is wasting mp using Cure IV's to keep you alive when that same whm could have been using Cure III's on a Paladin because his defense is a good 200 higher than yours.

Maybe you should play the game a bit longer and learn some of the more advanced party mechanics before trying to tell me off about my Main Job.

Do your homework and post a reply if that's what you want.

[Lunatic High]

hey slipknot, go do the pentathrust/sidewinder combo to a king behemoth. yeah, tell me how fast it dies from that. tell me how it feels having your body backhanded from windurst to sandoria when your weak combo bounces off him.

[Slipknot666]

OMFG some people are just too stupid to realize what the word PENTA means, and are also too stupid to read the context in which that word is used. Notice how I generally (meaning 95% of the time or so) use proper grammar and full names for things, meaning if I MEANT FúCKING PENTA-THRUST I WOULD HAVE SAID FúCKING PENTA-THRUST. That being said, if you know what the word penta means you know it means FIVE TIMES and then you would (most likely anyways) have the common sense to decipher that I meant FIVE TIMES SIDEWINDER unless you're just some jackass who knows nothing about proper english grammar, although those kinds of jackasses make up a super-majority (that's 75% for you people who are politically illiterate as well just plain old illiterate) of Dragid's population. THAT BEING SAID, I will now point out that many people who I play FFXI with and many people who I have read posts/pages by ALL RATE SAMURAI AS HAVING AN APPROXIMATE A RATING WITH A BOW. (Those posts and pages being on other sites obviously, because seemingly everyone here is just trying to make their own combos seem badass, I didn't think up SAM/RNG, I read about it and everything said by people who have tried it was nothing but positive.) Now then, about that "massive delay" on bows like War Bow and your ability to get off 2 shots with Arbalest in the time it takes for one with War Bow: what about the fact that War Bow (or War Bow +1 if you're not dirt poor) does double the damage? What you're saying is about the equivalent of saying "Sword is better than Great Sword only because it's faster", sure the sword may be faster but the great sword generally has an amount of damage high enough to make up for its lack of speed and your inability to equip a shield with it. And why did you "forget" to try refuting what I said about Shigeto Bow/Shigeto Bow +1, you know, that lvl 71 bow that is BASICALLY MADE FOR SAM? IMO it's better than RNG only things like Eurytos' Bow and such. And about those gun WS being some of the more powerful later in the game: I was already aware of this, I just don't much care because I don't feel like spending 3 times as much time farming as I do leveling or killing things for fun just so I can afford bullets, because they are by far the most expensive thing in the game overall, considering the fact that they are one time use of course. I could spend about 1/2 the time farming that I do chillin' and get enough for good arrows. OH, YEAH, another thing: Lunatic High why don't you enlighten us on something that WILL kill a King Behemoth instantly? I would love to see you try seeing as how THERE IS NOTHING. I said with a 5x (yes I'm not using 5x in the place of the word "penta" so as not to confuse morons) Sidewinder will kill MOST MOBS, even if they are IT, not ALL MOBS. And I did not say SAM has an assload of agility, I said second best class to use with bow after RNG is a tie between SAM, NIN, and THF, SAM being there because of an overall good ability with a bow, NIN being there because of high agility (and I also didn't say bow was best for ninja, I just said ninja's stats make it a good class for bow), and THF for the same reason as NIN, that being high agility. Also, correct me if I'm wrong, SAM AF armor has VERY similar def to WAR AF armor (which has the same def as PLD AF armor). And that "massive hate" that you're talking about me getting when I do that much damage: you forgot to take into mind the fact that BLMs somehow seem to manage avoiding that kind of hate even after magic bursting a renkai for over 1.5k, I wonder how BLM is able to do that and SAM/RNG can't? I think that's about all the gripes I had for that post, so I'll leave you to scramble to find something to say back so I can break out the Shigeto Bow +1 and shoot those down too.

[Lunatic High]

I'll leave you to scramble to find something to say back so I can break out the Shigeto Bow +1 and shoot those down too.

quite frankly, i didn't read all that. i come on Dragid to read posts, not novels. i picked out some parts and read those, instead. alright, apparently i'm not one of those jackasses who doesn't know english grammar. you must be one of those jackasses who uses terms such as "penta" in a game where it can be easily confused with the name of a weapon skill.


OH, YEAH, another thing: Lunatic High why don't you enlighten us on something that WILL kill a King Behemoth instantly? I would love to see you try seeing as how THERE IS NOTHING

why don't you enlighten me on where i spoke of an instant kill against a king behemoth, because i don't see where i said that. i said your ***** ass, half-baked weapon chain would bounce off him. correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think that you alone are an alliance of level 70+ characters. if it took a powerful alliance like that an hour to kill him, why don't you explain to me what your little "penta-sidewinder" combo will do to it. i'm curious. honestly, me and king behemoth are sitting here right now, laughing at you.

[Bloodtear]

Blah blah blah I suck d*ck.

Huh? What? I stopped paying attention to your whining after you proved you were an idiot. Let's go over some things, shall we?

This is an FFXI thread. FFXI terms are used. Was that too advanced? Am I losing you? Here, let me put it in a simpler form:

FFXI Thread=FFXI terms are written.

This means that any time you say "penta" people assume you mean pentathrust. You're highly advanced vocabularly(wow, Penta! 3rd grade word! Good job genius!) is a testament to your all encompassing stupidity.

As to the Arbalest I said it would fire twice before the War Bow is ready for a second shot. Your tiny brain may be cramping at this point so let me put it like this:

Arbalest has 230 delay
War Bow has 540+ delay
Hey guess what f*cknuts?! That means the Arbalest ultimately fires more than the War Bow. If that math is too hard for you maybe you should try passing the 1st grade again(what would that be, try 20 for you?)



*sniff* *sob* b..but 75% of reviewers said it was a good combo!!.

More proof of your lack of experience with the game. Chances are you spend 9 hours of your day reading about the game because you're not smart enough to try the combo yourself.

You must have ruined your brilliant mind when you spent three weeks learning cool words like "penta"(wow, you're cool)

You could post further but chances are I'd rather not have my mind contract further from reading your inane posts.

On a side note you're pretty pathetic using a fictional bow to shoot down someone's reply.

[FallenWings]

Hey slipknot, just stop now....it wasnt a big deal and then you decide to start s***. It seems as if quite a few people are against you by now so just stfu and let it be over with.

OWNED!

[Slipknot666]

quite frankly, i didn't read all that. i come on Dragid to read posts, not novels. i picked out some parts and read those, instead. alright, apparently i'm not one of those jackasses who doesn't know english grammar. you must be one of those jackasses who uses terms such as "penta" in a game where it can be easily confused with the name of a weapon skill.



why don't you enlighten me on where i spoke of an instant kill against a king behemoth, because i don't see where i said that. i said your ***** ass, half-baked weapon chain would bounce off him. correct me if i'm wrong, but i don't think that you alone are an alliance of level 70+ characters. if it took a powerful alliance like that an hour to kill him, why don't you explain to me what your little "penta-sidewinder" combo will do to it. i'm curious. honestly, me and king behemoth are sitting here right now, laughing at you.
Wow, maybe I should have thought about the fact that idiots on Dragid ARE easily confused, huh? I guess since you're saying it's "easily confused" you're admitting to not paying enough attention to what you read to be able to understand it?
Well why don't you enlighten me on where I said 5x Sidewinder would kill literally anything, because I didn't, i said it would kill ALMOST anything, MEANING that there are exceptions, but I guess I can't expect clueless morons to understand that either. I distinctly remember you saying, however, that my combo would "bounce off" a King Behemoth, seemingly implying that you knew of something better to use against one. Now the King Behemoth and myself laugh at YOU and your stupidity.

On a side note you're pretty pathetic using a fictional bow to shoot down someone's reply.
First off: Wow, I...am...AMAZED at the maturity level shown by those "quotes" from me that you made up. Guess you think you're pretty smart huh?
I guess I gave you people a little too much credit then, by assuming that would have read my post ABOUT why SAM/RNG is good before trying to bring it down. Because if you had you would notice that I mentioned pentathrust not even once, but several times I mentioned using Sidewinder five times straight (which is where the word "penta" comes in). Now whose stupidity did you say was all encompassing? I'm pretty sure it would have been a more fitting description for yourself, as would your "quotes".
I have a question for you: Do you ever stop to realize that Bows, Crossbows, and Guns all use ammunition? You say Arbalest fires OVER twice as fast as War Bow +1. That would only be true if you could fire it without using ammunition. Because, you see, ammunition has its own damage and delay. With that delay added onto your precious Arbalest you will be able to get ALMOST 2 shots off per shot of War Bow +1, but not quite. Not to mention War Bow has over double your Arbalest's damage and arrows are more powerful than crossbow bolts. And don't even get me started on the Shigeto Bow, which I only used in talking about shooting down your reply with because you didn't seem to want to talk about that bow when saying your Arbalest was so good, you only wanted to compare it to War Bow, which is STILL better than Arbalest IMO. Did I even once say that War Bow fires as fast as or faster than Arbalest? I sure as hell don't remember it, but if you find it be sure to tell me which page it was on in this thread. [/sarcasm] I KNOW that your worthless PoS Arbalest fires faster than War Bow, but its damage is not even half of War Bow's and it most definitely does NOT shoot twice as fast. Maybe a significant amount faster, but definitely not twice as fast, which it would have to be in order to be "better" than War Bow. Both are probably about equal, where it would come down to your particular tastes. Apparently you prefer marksmanship and speed to my archery and damage, which is your choice and your opinion and I certainly can't hate you for that, but don't try saying mine is "worse than yours" when it's strictly a matter of opinion when both things have a huge edge over the other in a certain category, and basically come down to about the same effect.
Wow, I guess you caught me. [/sarcasm] How the hell would you know how/when I learned the word penta and how often I read about FFXI? The answer: you don't, you're trying to make yourself look like a badass by attempting to trash me by basically saying I have no life and I am stupid, when quite obviously you need to evaluate YOURSELF in those areas a bit more. Self evaluation=good, making yourself look like a jackass trying to make fun of someone=not so good.
And, about using Shigeto Bow +1 to shoot down your reply, yeah, I guess it is pretty pathetic to do 2 things in one sentence: make a joke and put emphasis on a good bow which you seemed to "forget" to talk about when you were saying how SAM doesn't get good bows. Where was your reply about the Shigeto Bow, huh? Could you kindly point me in the direction of that, too, preferrably in the same post in which you point to where I said that War Bow was as fast as Arbalest? Because both are things that never appeared, at least not to my knowledge. But if you want an opportunity to "prove me wrong" then feel free to edit something about Shigeto Bow into one of your earlier posts so you look like you didn't entirely skip part of the argument. Good day, douche-nose.

Hey slipknot, just stop now....it wasnt a big deal and then you decide to start s***. It seems as if quite a few people are against you by now so just stfu and let it be over with.

OWNED!
Wow, you must view the world as a pretty small place if Lunatic High and Bloodtear together qualify as "quite a few people" to you, and why the hell should I "stfu"? Why don't you try typing it out, and not look like a pùssy? And why don't you stop trying to be someone else's bitch and actually argue instead of attempting to help people who are doing a good enough job of making themselves look like jackasses without your help?
And on a final note for this post, where exactly was I owned in your post, FallenWings? I guess my brain was owned by the stupidity of your post, if that's what you meant. That was a pretty overwhelming amount of idiocy for 4 lines, one of which was blank.

[RikkuChic]

guys all ur comments are great.. i might go get it.. but i gotta save the money.. i thinkim gonan buy ffx-2 first.. i need a job.. grrr!!

[Hieithedragon89]

I have it but don't play it much. Cause I just started playing FFX plus I'm trying to maintain my website AniMangaFC so its both very time consuming.

[Lunatic High]

yes slipknot, that means that you've fallen directly into my trap. all i was trying to do was either make you mad or make your tiny brain shrink even further. for shame... it would seem that you'll go on endlessly speaking about war bows, rangers and samurais. i probably won't ever be back to this thread to read your ridiculous posts, as they mean less to me than anything else. if you want to keep going on and on about opinionated subjects, go talk to a wall. you could try talking to your frie- oh wait, you spend all of your worthless time responding to my posts, don't you!? you're so cool you don't need friends! i'll see you around slipknot, and when i do... i pray to God that you're intellect and common sense have heightened.

[FallenWings]

Hehe, its not only Bloodtear and Lunatic...It's me too. i thought that my post would give you the idea that no one wants to hear what you think. and if you would look a little back in the post you would plainly see that that i said i dont know much about this game. why would i argue with such a pro like yourself ^_^. you can tell people whatever you want whenever you want because thats what you do on threads. the only reason i began to care about your guys' arguement was because you were cleary proved wrong on several accounts. and then soon after you took out your anger in a way where you spouted bullshit toward Lunatic and Bloodtear. If you are wrong about something just leave it alone. it is a pretty good lesson to learn. it makes you look less stupid, and more of a man to just accept defeat. im sure when your reading this you will be thinking up something pretty stupid to say back to me....so on that note do us all a favor and don't. It will make some people happy if you just kept your mouth shut. please...?


P.S. One more thing...how old are you?

[Slipknot666]

It will make some people happy if you just kept your mouth shut. please...?


P.S. One more thing...how old are you?
Are you retarded or something? You ask me not to reply then you ask me a question? If you really wanted to know how old I am you could do the intelligent thing and check my profile to see if I have my birthdate listed, which I do. But seeing as how you're probably too stupid to be able to figure out how to view someone's profile (and I bet you wouldn't be the first one here at Dragid who has had that problem) I'll tell you how old i am: I just turned 18 on Mar 14. Anyways, back to the ludicrous bullshit that is your post: Wow, YOU along with Bloodtear and Lunatic High don't like me. I guess three people is a lot for someone who (judging by the level of intelligence you show, because I know of no one who would want to be a friend with an idiot like you) apparently doesn't have any friends. Where exactly was I proven wrong? Bloodtear tried to refute my posts and I replied to his in kind. Where was the proving wrong there? If you know nothing about FFXI like you say then how do you know who is wrong and who is right? Not to mention these goddamned morons have been trying to make up shit that I've "said", because Bloodtear seemed to think I said War Bow was FASTER than Arbalest. And what about important parts of posts that they decide they didn't read because they have no real response for it? I still haven't seen a place where I was told about how something was better than Shigeto Bow +1 or how something would be more powerful against a King Behemoth than 5 straight Sidewinders.
Oh, what's this about me "taking out my anger" on Bloodtear and Lunatic High? I'm not angry. I'm not even close to angry. Getting angry or frustrated over a thread on the internet (I'm assuming you do this often seeing as how you "know" when someone is angry when you can't see them or hear their tone inflection) means you should seek psychiatric help. And by the way I'm still wondering where exactly I was owned in your other post to me. A little info here would be greeeaat.

yes slipknot, that means that you've fallen directly into my trap. all i was trying to do was either make you mad or make your tiny brain shrink even further. for shame... it would seem that you'll go on endlessly speaking about war bows, rangers and samurais. i probably won't ever be back to this thread to read your ridiculous posts, as they mean less to me than anything else. if you want to keep going on and on about opinionated subjects, go talk to a wall. you could try talking to your frie- oh wait, you spend all of your worthless time responding to my posts, don't you!? you're so cool you don't need friends! i'll see you around slipknot, and when i do... i pray to God that you're intellect and common sense have heightened.

1. I'm not angry.
2. How would you know if my brain is small? Arguing with someone like Bloodtear who can't prove any of what he says (neither can I, but hey I'm just telling you why YOU'RE an idiot) does not mean someone's intellect is of a lower caliber. Now what MIGHT mean you're an idiot is when you just say random shit to people (like you) or when you have to make up weak insults to vent your frustration (like Bloodtear). Or maybe even when you think 3 people is quite a few (like FallenWings).
3. War Bows, Rangers, and Samurais are all on-topic subjects here, because, last time I checked at least, this was a thread on FFXI. So why is it ridiculous to speak of things that the thread is meant for?
4. I don't want to talk to a wall, opinionated subjects are another thing forums are for, so why not discuss them here? But if you really think you should talk to a wall when speaking of opinionated matters, perhaps YOU should go do it yourself, y'know, lead by example. Because everything you say is just as opinionated as anything I say, so you're either a hypocrite or just too stupid to realize that almost anything that's been said in this thread is pure (or 90% or so) opinion.
5. Yes, you know I spend all my time replying to your weak posts. Actually I spend under 10 minutes making those "novels" as you called them (y'know, my longer posts earlier). Apparently since you think making one long post takes so long you have a lower intellect than you think or else you would realize some people don't need all that much time to post replies to stupid shit that doesn't even deserve a reply. Plus I also only make one post on this thread a day usually, and that's usually my only post on all of Dragid for the day. And what know you of the worth of my time? How do you know it's not worth a lot more than yours? For all you know my time could be worth more than your life. How do you know whether I have friends or not? Seeing as how you have almost as many posts as me (after the post deletion that killed probably 50%+ of everyone's posts around here) I'd say you probably spend just as much time here as me, if not more. Especially since it takes you so long to type out those replies, if you think one post a day takes all my time.
And on a finishing note: If/when I see you around, you would probably rather see my intellect and common sense lower so you could keep up. Apparently you have a hard time posting arguments, or else you wouldn't be trying to back down by saying things like "i probably won't ever be back to this thread to read your ridiculous posts, as they mean less to me than anything else". Wow. Big insult there huh? And if I am a person of such low intellect and common sense what does that make Bloodtear, who had to make up homophobic remarks and other assorted insults to make his post look better to the idiotic masses here? Because I've already pointed out on several other threads that I'm not gay and that people's insults over the internet matter not to me. Better that you guys get those insults out over the internet where you're safe than to some big black guy named Bubba IRL who would give you the bitchslapping of a lifetime for the shit you people say. Because I REALLY wouldn't wanna see on the news that some little shits with big mouths got royally fùcked up by some huge dude, now would I? Noooooo, that would be just toooooo sad now wouldn't it?

[Xeno_Viamont]

wow, that was interesting reading all of those,(entertaining as well). i dont really want to get into this argument but i cant help myself, you people are taking about bows(which i know little about, but i can compare stats), hmm.... i use a bow for....well nothing anymore, but i would use a faster one rather than a slow strong one, its just like with swords and great swords, i prefer a sword becase say we go 4 rounds, u miss one time and i miss one time thats 3 hits at about 100, and 7 hits at about 50 im sure you all are intelegent enough to do the math. oh and slipknot this is for you, as powerful as your 5x shot is, if you ever went PvP one on one with a good RDM like me you would die very quickly ^_^.

oh and btw, what r the stats on the shigeto bow?

p.s. im on the server unicorn if anyone wants to come ill buy them a WP <(^^<) <(^ ^)> (>^^)>

hell i would get it but people say its annoying to play and i need cable and money... lol

*sigh* a big thing about using a slow, powerful weapon is the TP gain and dmg superiority more than make up for the delay...and with subbed RNG getting 2 Accuracy Bonus passives helps a lot, along with Sharpshot.
Shigeto Bow +1 stats are as follows:
Damage: 76
Delay: 582
Ranged Attack +16
For SAM: Ranged Accuracy +8
Jobs: SAM, RNG
Level: 71
A very orgasmic bow, IMO.

And if you're using your bow primarily for Weapon Skills then I would really rather have a big damage, high delay bow, because with Weapon Skills you do it instantly, no delay to worry about. I would probably build the TP with Job Skills and a Great Kat or a Spear, depending on which I end up using, then use the TP to WS like a mad mafacka with my bow.
How would RDM own this job combo? Correct me if I'm wrong but you don't even get the ancient magicks, like Burst, Flare, Quake, Freeze, etc., how are you going to own something that kills you as you get your first Cure cast? (maybe that's a bit exaggerated but I shouldn't need more than 2, MAYBE 3 Weapon Skills to kill another player) I doubt if anything could beat SAM/RNG except for BLM or another RNG, and those would probably be very close, especially if you wanna include use of 2 hours for the fight, then I get to Meikyo Shisui and do 3 Sidewinders without counting any other TP accumulation. On another player I bet that would be a lot more damage than it would be on a IT mob too.

[Xeno_Viamont]

well now i get to explain it, ok with my 2hr, (chainspell) its real easy to beat someone one on one, i use blink and stoneskin to start, followed by bind, blind, paralize and a few more choice enfebles, then i get to nuke(i may not have the strongest of spells but a constatnt blast of stoneII/fireIII will kill just about anything), i just have to refresh blink every third hit, and when im low on mp use convert and cure IV and then its back to buisness, with chainspell i can make myself virtually unhittable, making a high lv rdm the best for a one on one fight

[Bloodtear]

Also have a pretty well leveled Red Mage(45) I can spot some flaws in your strategy.

Refresh doesn't Refresh nearly as fast as you think. And the very second you decided to convert (Since it's a very obvious change) The Ranger uses Eagle Eye Shot and lays you face down into the dirt. Blind would be nearly non-existent as the Ranger would simply use Sharpshot. Binding works less than half the time and even if it does it will have ended by the time your avatar put it's hand down back to it's side.

Then there's the fact that you will most likely be out of MP by the time you're done enfeebing and enhancing yourself. (Which I guess is when you would convert and have less than 50 hp or so) The great thing about convert is...you don't use it outside of parties unless you can Chainspell yourself a quick Cure III. Since you mentioned you'd use Chainspell to start off that would not be a viable option because Chainspell only lasts 30 seconds.

Maybe I missed something but I'll post again if it looks like it. Or Edit if there's no reply.

[Slipknot666]

I think I'm gonna have to agree with Bloodtear. Besides, between Meikyo Shisui, Meditate, and the amount of TP I get from each hit using WS I could get more than enough hits in to cancel your Blink and kill you before you recast it. Unless you're a Galka the chances are that I'll need about 2 hits tops with WS to kill you. Well if I go Spear SAM like I'm considering then I would just throw Sidewinder out the window for that fight and use Penta-Thrust, which would cancel your Blink and get in 2 hits in just one use. Then with Meikyo Shisui still active I would Penta-Thrust 2 more times and (assuming that you somehow managed to survive) follow up with Med and have enough TP to Penta-Thrust 2 or 3 times again if my 2 hour is still active by said time. Let's see you cast Blink fast enough to beat that, huh? Even Chain Spell won't let you cast Blink or Cure IV fast enough to stop that. But in the end for PvP i think if I wanted to win more than have fun I would make a Tarutaru BLM/SMN. Tarutaru are the best class for mage jobs, BLM is the biggest damage dealer in the game (very close with Ranger, but if you're not worried about getting hate, like in PvP, I would go with BLM personally), and SMN is the best sub for any mage class, it adds the most INT, MND, and MP of all jobs, making a BLM a caster from hell. Try casting your Blink fast enough to outrace BLM's superior assortment of nukes. And don't bother saying you'll silence, a smart player would use Echo Drops and continue to nuke the hell out of you. But personally I find things like PvP lose all their fun when it just becomes easy *cough cough* Diablo II *cough cough*. So I'd stick with the SAM/RNG myself and win some and lose some, I prefer being considered upper-medium in skill and having fun as opposed to being considered the best and being bored as hell.

[CoLdFlaMeZ436]

i wish...do you think i should get it for pc or ps2? which is better? it looks really fun from what ive seen at my friend's house

[Bloodtear]

The PS2 version is sharper but will definitely lag more. It also has better controls and but will eventually cost more in the long run. It's just matter of preference. If you list your comp specs I can tell you if you'll be able to run it or not.

--What level are you Slipknot? And what server? I'm curious. Sounds like you've been playing as long as I have at least.

[Xeno_Viamont]

if you have a rdm then you should know that with macros it dosent take 30 seconds to finish all the spells that need to be cast, and blm may have heavy nukes, but i can bet you that *without* chainspell i can keep blink up.

but enough on that, we wont really know until PvP is out and we can try it so there is no reason to argue it further, we all have told what are preferaces are and thats about all we can do.

24 to 31 in a week IS pretty quick, but I did 20-29 in 5 days, an hour away from 30, before my phone line (yes, the actual phone line, not my line from the comp to the wall) got ripped out of the wall by an irate family member.

zell, you just got owned. by the way, FFXI is a really fun game. maybe you should try it out before you post nonsensical things.

wow, pretty hostile there...lol well i like the game...but imo, i think that getting money is a bit tough for this game...gets frustrating at times. but other than that little con, the game is very good, one of the best i have ever played!

You have to know what and where you must get your gil from. Which mobs you have to fight and which items you have to sell.

I started a brand new character on Leviathan (no other character on it that I have) and I'm getting some pretty good cash. It's not that hard, just hard in the very beginning.

I hope that Blatant lie is a joke. Because the level cap is 75 slapnuts. EVen someone playing 20 hours a day wouldn't get to 75 in a week in a half. Hell, you might not get to 30 in a week in a half. Mostly just because you don't always get ass-kicking parties.

FF11 is ok i quit thou i got to lvl 99 in like a week and a half. i dont consider it a really hard game... i gave it up and ill wait for world of warcraft i think that wont be sucha let down. besides hte payment plan for FF11 is outrageous i cant afford that each month i buy to many things during one month to keep up with that. i HAD a lvl 99 male elvaan archer.

you're a ƒucking disgrace. not only is the level cap 75, (meaning that level 99 is currently unattainable) there is no such job class as "archer". maybe, somehow, you mistook archer for ranger... in a week, level 99 would be impossible. hell, level 50 would be impossible in a week. also, you complain about the 'outrageous' monthly fees of FFXI, however, world of warcraft is going to have a higher fee. if you can hardly keep up with FFXI, how are you gonna pull WoW off, asshat?

from now on, if you're going to criticize a game with your blatant, retarded lies... at least do some research so it seems like you know what you're talking about. your asshattery probably won't be tolerated by jinx, so clean up your act before you post this shit again.

Ok, since you're obviouslya noob who's never played let me put it like this:

The most experience you will get forone fight is 300 exp. And chances are you will never see that much. The avg mob in a 6 person party is 180exp. At high levels you need about 10,000 experience to go up one level. Fights take about 2-10 minutes depending upon your level and what you're fighting. It takes me about two days to gain a level now. And with the 55 cap quests I have to do I won't be going anywhere for a week. In a month or so I *might* be 60 and even then when I get to 65 or 70(not sure) I'll have to do even more quests to get the second cap off so I can reach a maximum level of 75(not 99).

Is that clear? Do you understand? You can't get to 75 in a week or two, or even three.

yeah, i got the game when it first came out for PC. this is what happened though . . .my MOM got a hold of it. it's really sad, but she stays up till 4:00 am sometimes playing that game, and shes 52 . . . pretending to be a 21 year old dude, because she thinks no one would want her in their party for her age, but the thing is, she's REALLY good at this game, shes a high levl black mage, i'm not sure exactly what rank and everything, because i'm too busy to play that game, but, yeah, my MOM plays .. . . . . .

I realize how old this thread is, but I decided to make a search before asking who has this game. Anyway, I've only had it for about 2 months, but FFXI is pretty addicting.
