thread challenge: 10 posts without schizophrenic posts

Based OP, thank you!

2nd post of non-schizo. Keep it up!

heard from the grapevine that kippers joined zenith

heard from the grapevine that winter's backdoor in LSB is going to shut down zenith

heard from the grapevine that you guys only play this game for the drama mining and clout

>>1842166
checked
but unfortunately, mining has been dead in FFXI for ages

>>1842143
Dont you have another HC mode to implement on your stagnant server?

>>1842175
if you hate aerec so much why don't you rise up against him and have him replaced? there's at least a dozen different people who would do better for the server

>>1842180
Pick one that hasn't done something publicly shameful.

>>1842183
none haven't, but one has the correct type of autism

>>1841795
If you truly wanted to talk about the game you wouldn't come to 4chan hiding as an anon.

Well we tried. Couldn't even make it 10 posts.

name the schizo

Kipling
Setsuko
Spicyryan
Wintersolstice
Loxley
Aerec

>>1842225
This. It's really obvious when they go on tirades.

>>1842225

Hero who held back Aerec's autism and now won't be able to stop Kanryu's. You could have saved him...
>Setsuko
e-thot, who cares
>Spicyryan
OG schizo banned from everywhere except bg who has self-admittedly "left" the FFXI scene multiple times
>Wintersolstice
A legend of R&D whose autism is unsurpassed
>Loxley
faggot, though I guess he does alright for catseye sometimes
>Aerec
negative value, should kill himself immediately

>>1842231

>logged into my own horizon/catseye mishmash combo private server i've been working on since Jan
>it's just horizon for me and the /v/ros but with ToAu actually added
>the lynchpin was a 15$ chatgpt alternative, it was the only bot spitting code that would actually run
>realise now I am sat on something special
>if I keep sperging it up and don't release yet I could probably get Wings missions scripted

The kids in the FFXI PS2 Discord seem to be making good headway too.

A new dawn is coming, gentlemen.

Baby chocobo is cute!

>>1842231
Loxely shit programming caused the biggest disaster on catseye with infinite mass gil being injected into the economy.
He's also a turbo sperg, why does he seem to have cheerleaders in this general?

>eden is perfect retail accurate
>eden has weekly patches of 30+ changes to fix and change values to retail numbers for the last 4 years straight
Pick one

>>1842620
kek, I didn't know that, I take back the "does alright" section entirely and just use "faggot"

>>1842626
>eden is perfect retail accurate
well, we already know it's not. Eden is slightly customized

>>1842383
>The kids in the FFXI PS2 Discord seem to be making good headway too.
this is a massive waste of time when literally no one will support PS2 on the private server codebase side.

Yes, SoA isn't "that old", but packets have changed since PS2 was discontinued. It may kind of half-assedly work but nobody is going to actually support that client or carve out code just for it without a hard fork. All this will serve to do is fragment the server codebase which is not a good thing for anyone. The autism directed towards this is much better utilized actually reverse engineering known unknowns or basically anything other than the PS2 client

disappointing to say the least

>>1842626
>eden is perfect retail accurate
yeah that's not true, it even says so on our website. Including what is different and why. Nobody wants to play ffxi without mog wardrobes lol

>>1842707
>Nobody wants to play ffxi without mog wardrobes lol
can you blame them? turns out being able to play more jobs and not constantly mule is a good thing

>>1842706
But you can post pics on r/ffxi of your ps2 running ffxi with the title. Finally Home……;crying emoji; and get upvotes

>>1842712
how could I forget? upvotes are far more important than practical use of course

>>1842709
no one really wants to play this game without that space, but the game did get less difficult because of it. i think i remember watching an interview where they said they didn't expect people to actually change gear in combat a lot or that their servers would exceed 1,000 players each

>>1842720
Yeah gear swapping was clearly not intended, but its such a massive power spike that you’re at a disadvantage not doing it so square had two roads to go down.
Either add in a wow style no gear swapping during combat restriction or embrace it. Probably was the far smarter choice to embrace it, most content would be dead if you couldn’t swap out of your best pieces for a niche use to something else.
Horizon’s difficulty is already fucked beyond belief with some of their balance changes, henm items, and relic saturation i could care less at this point.
Let us max out multiple weapons in merit and open a 3rd wardrobe already

>>1842728
Also ffxi isn’t a difficult game to begin with if you just go the good jobs to “hard” content
Support, tanks, healer spam to recover infinitely even in the modern game most first clears of master trials is just run brd nin whm cor /nin shadow spam. Literally nothing changed, if something can’t kill you in 1-2 hits you pretty much can never die in this game

is this game free or do you still have to pay for it?

>>1842744
Still have to pay for retail, private servers are free

>>1842620
Loxley posts here anon that's why you'll see him suck his own dick in these threads

Horizon with all of the relics every whm has a Gjallarhorn guaranteed, a smn with refreshga, and an extremely buffed clear mind mp rate that despite it being cop era when mp is limited you pretty much never run out.
I solo healed full melee alliances in dyna on horizon as whm, that simply wasn’t a thing in era.
Massive power creep in a million small things adding up fast.

>>1841773 (OP)
I wonder how much money he actually makes a month selling gil.

>>1842754
This is why I like lowman. I get a bigger split of the gil and I don't fall asleep watching a group of people steamroll everything put in front of them.

>>1842754
>every whm has a gjallarhorn

Bait used to be believable

>>1842770
You won't be watching anything soon enough

>>1842771
Unless your ls sucks and you have poverty brds I guess, but it’s a pretty common relic and relics are common on horizon.

>>1842774
b-but I have dynamis in 1 hour

>>1842775
People stream their shitty linkshells wiping to dynamis cities all the time. I understand you and your friends may have relics so you just assume everyone else does too but the large majority of people are BAD and have shit gear.

>>1842780
Bad players have always been bad. There's not much that can be done or said about people who unironically use 'xD' and refuse to use macros.

>>1842780
True, but last time there was a relic amount listed it was like 500. Thats like a quarter of the daily player count, and thats insane. I see relics so often, i don’t really care when i check someone and they have one. A dyna run for me is seeing the chat spammed with people doing around 3k damage relic weapon skills over and over. Very un era

>>1842221
You love it that's why you're here

>>1842796
Like a married woman that refuses to uninstall tinder. They love the thrill of 4chan

I'm like 0/10 vs sakura it's fucking bullshit, I never want to see a baby choco again. Punting this thing

>>1842765
No need to wonder. Google search finds 2 websites which say about 270 dollars per 1 million gil.

I should switch jobs.

>>1842847

>Deal with corrupt private servers, with very little bots / cheaters but the devs / owner sells gil

>Deal with retail servers paying $15 a month to play with nothing but bots, cheaters, and multiboxers

When can we start winning guys? is it possible?

>>1841795
sexoooooooo

>>1842973
>Deal with corrupt private servers, with very little bots / cheaters but the devs / owner sells gil

This makes the server pay to win, with a small percentage of wealthy players dominating everything. You can pretty much guarantee all the top crafters are buying gil, and most of the serious endgame players too.

Aerec remind anyone else of PirateSoftware? The furfaggotry, the Wings server manipulation and driving it into the ground. Acting like the server God to get in Ninja's good graces. Making Horizon a private repo to hide the code changes. None of the original team is left so he takes credit on patch notes while waiting for servers like Eden to go open source to cannibalize them and call it era+.

>>1842816
are you facing east?

>>1843091
>>1843091
i'm facing mecca inshal'ah mohammad guide my crafts

>>1843085
Mark my words, Aerec WILL take credit for ToAU even though he's done literally nothing for it and has done almost nothing for the rest of the existing expansions

A complete and total fraud, worse than Fartmarus who can't even fix gardening after years

>>1843100
where is mecca in vanadiel?

>>1843085
I got bad new for you bub. Eden's never going open source. Aerec has to do all of that shit from scratch for you. It's why horizons '''rebase''' is taking so fucking long.

>>1843117
Aerec is doing nothing to rebase, in fact he's too stupid and inept to do it. It's literally 99% Beasty, poor bastard

>>1843115
altana's feet

>>1843125
Based

>>1843085
This dude was chased out of EVE. Absolute walnut of player.

>>1843122
What does Aerec do then? Pay for the server?

>>1843085
>>1843147
I'm sick of both of these fags. Moreso of that voice changing 'My dad worked at Blizzard' nepobaby because I left horizon already

>>1843150
Hes good friends with ninja before ninja was popular, and i think hes the one that convinced ninja to fund the server while he takes care of the moderation/management so ninja has a place to play 75 era ffxi whenever he wants.

>>1843150
Steal credit, try to force horrendous changes that 99% of the staff discord hates, shit on everyone

>click on XI thread
>see e-celeb private server drama
Horizon was such a fucking mistake.

>>1843304
You guys tried to make a no pserver discussion dozens of times at this point , get over it nigga nobody cares about live

your birth was a mistake

>>1843311
see
>>1842197

>t. schizo tranny

>>1842816
It hurts but it's your only option Smithingbro... or just do price gouging with your LS friends like what is happening to Hauby +1 right now

>>1843150
He was friends with Ninja, which got the server a lot of promotion and money. That's all he brings to the table, and now makes an undeserved living off it when others did all the work.

Shit always floats to the top I guess.

>>1843554
Reminder, it's OK for other crafts to have prints but not OK for smithing because one guy used a print on wings and they didnt want that happening again

>>1843304
e-celeb implies that more than 15 people know who any of these guys are, but in reality, they just schizopost about eachother ad infinitum

>>1843675
They're e-celeb because they live rent free in the mind of schizos and in these threads because of it.

>>1843770
no, the live rent free in their own heads. any post about susanko is kiply, any post about kiply is susan. being 45 and having "enemies" is very strange behavior that stands out immediately to anyone who is even slightly normal

>>1844108
>omg they won’t stop posting about it
>keeps positing about it

You are the only problem

Where is ninja in all of this?
Also you can speak ill of horizon all you want but I do not want to play in a loxley run server.
Thats basically asking for another fucking catseye

>>1844392
Ninja grew up playing ffxi with his brother and mother(i think) and wanted a place to play the game he remembered and has millions of dollars from streaming so said fuck it “here aeric my friend manage the server and ill hop on to play sometimes. I don’t want any treatment or an admin role”
It’s so weird the nigga who fornite dances in public sponsored by Microsoft is somewhere neeting dyna.
Hes kinda based, he took a massive multimillion dollar exclusivity deal with microsoft to stream on microsoft’s at the time competing twitch platform and instead of streaming fornite and pulling in those viewers he just played ffxi eden all day LMAO
https://youtu.be/7iKxwruYZeY?si=r5R3bV6kJJ-is4rn

>slapping me on your mule while logging off
Yep you're a little bitch

Aerec confessed he stole the name from another ffxi player too. Horizon has run its course. Best in slot treasures expansion with relic neets chasing and buying the same equipment sounds like aids. The end of this private server cycle is near. When's fresh?

>>1844221
Now hit them with the "you don't belong here with us"

>>1844694
it's time we realized people had relics and bis within a couple months of horizon release. 6 months in and everyone endgame had finished gear.
There's nothing you can do to prevent NEET takeover

>claims the HNM you wanted to fight
pssh, sorry kiddo......... nuthin personnel, eh?

>>1842750
Oh, the old Elon special

>>1844773
based aerec-sama coming up with claim shield. He basically created a better thing than the real devs, honestly.

>> Horizon ffxi player died recently
>> Ex-wife now single
>> Lots of GoFundme money
Wait a few weeks then invite her to your linkshell :)

>>1844967
>Kipling slowly sliding into those dms

>>1844805
>Aerec once again trying to take credit for something he didn't do
claimshield predates horizon, I am pretty sure it was not an official module but implemented other ways since modules on LSB are relatively new all said

>>1843187
>>1843600
i really appreciate ninja paying for the server, it'd be cool if he also paid for a fresh one but i guess that's not happening if he's buds with aerec.

>>1845095
ninja hasnt paid for shit since launch
neither has aerec

aerec pays and does nothing for horizon and yet he is somehow king. overthrow him already

>>1845102
Imagine having a millionaire friend and paying for the server out of pocket.

>>1845119
r*ch people arent people

>>1844392
>another fucking catseye
a server that actually has content and adds even more on top of what's already there?
yes please!

reminder that Horizon would have more content if Aerec wasn't a faggot

>>1841773 (OP)
This guy loves the attention he gets so much.

>>1845233
which comes first, ToAU to Horizon or Zenith's release?

>>1845782
No… it’s over Zenith sisters…

>>1845066
so? just like how brown and black folx made the telehiccles, whyte people like aerec perfect these things and get them used by the masses

>>1845851
It can't be over. It never started.

>>1845782
I'm okay waiting for Zenith as long as it's completed without insane bugs like I've seen on other server releases.

>>1846550
Now between Nasomi, Eden, Wings, Limit Break, and now Horizon, when has that ever happened, and what makes you think it's going to happen here?

>>1846131
white people like frank improved it
white people like zach also made and improved it

aerec is a worthless redneck

>>1846707
>gil bat
>crafting bugs
>server crashes
>vendor bugs
>more server crashes
It's happened to every other server, let me have my hopium that it won't happen again.

Does anyone play retail and is on Asura?
Decided to resub for the month and was wanting to try farming VE Maiden of the Dusk as BLU with other people for Malignance pieces
Fine with farming it out until everyone has a set

>>1846714
Tell me you haven't played in over a year without telling me you haven't played in over a year.

>>1846805
I said release.

This community is a cult.

Is ff11 on Asura turning into ff14? noticed it's becoming more normal to get messages asking to do perverted things for gil lately.

>>1847150
Everything is buyable. Even people

Uh XI sisters?

my mog garden's furrows are rank 6, everything else is rank 7, and I've got like two and a half more coalitions to finish before I can push for the Golden Shovel Cordon. When I'm done should I try to build an Iris or an Epeolatry? My GEO and RUN are currently level 45 and 50, respectively, and I have no idea how to play either class

>>1847438
LMAO. Welp Zenith definitely DOA (if it ever even comes out)

>>1847438
>>1847530
It's hilarious that you want always want other servers to fail so much

The fact that they haven't released in ToAU in HorizonXI is the reason i'm staying the fuck away from this server

>>1847601
Crab mentality. Prom queen does not want others to move on to new servers. They want you to continue suffering on Horizon so that they feel better about their prom queen status on that server. The game itself never mattered to them.

>>1847601
I want her to play on Zenith real bad cause she’ll make insane drama as she has done on every server. Zenith is a meme server and will no matter what

>>1847605

Next friday dude dont worry about it kiddo, now get your dumb ass on our server before i kick your dog.

>>1847838

yeah these faggots havent even heard we gettin an hc mode later this year? i mean what more could you ask for lol

>>1847605
I genuinely feel sorry for you. I do. I wish everyone could experience how ToaU is going to play out on Horizon, as that is the closest we will every get to going back in time and experiencing it how it was meant to be experienced. I thank Aerec everyday for this opportunity. Friday is coming. And it will be glorious.

>>1847856

>T. Aerec

>>1847438
She's hot. What are you complaining about. Kipling on the other hand is not hot.

>>1847954
Thank you anon I’ve worked very hard

>>1847954
He’s hot enough to have bagged some desperate egirl with 5 kids

>>1848253
Setsuko can’t have kids cause her womb is polluted with drugs

>>1847624
prom queen? there are still women that play there?

>>1847856
Eden already did that for people with more accuracy.

>>1848319
Not good ones physically or mentally.

>>1847038
Really? What gave it away? All the people on the privatexi reddit fellating Horizon at every opportunity?

>>1848477
More like the schizos in this thread. Severe brain rot.

>>1848483
We're all playing a game made 20 years ago. Everyone here is fucked up in some way.

>>1848483
>omg too many schizos in this thread
>schizo posts

lol

>>1848483
Yeah seriously. What a disgusting community.

>>1848483
Such as?

>>1846714
gil bat was actually an LSB bug with Cemetery Cherry's ID being shifted due to SE changing all the mobs in KRT to super high level ones

there was nothing actually nefarious there, just some bad technical debt from ages old dogshit implementation that predated LSB

>>1847856
>I thank Aerec everyday for this opportunity. Friday is coming. And it will be glorious.
Aerec wants COR to be HIS custom job because he's a faggot and doesnt actually care about era. nigga doesnt and never has played the game

>>1848543
Welcome to Aerec's playground, kek. Don't say I didn't tell ya so.

>>1848543

Bro what u mean? horizon is the ultimate era accurate server?

I mean we got highwind! and dont forget the juicy exp eco warrior faggotry! oh yeah and yonin, and also we changed a bunch of weapon skills around to make it less... i mean more heckin accurate!

>aerec: this is an era server!
>also aerec: eh, lets not fix bugs to make it more era accurate

>>1848553
I don't know how 'play and find out xD' was not the end of it. You idiots must enjoy being fucked in the ass

>>1848591

Went too "Play and find out!" t
to
"Well we didnt change that because era accuracy"

Lmao what a shit show

>>1848603
LMFAO

>>1848477
The moment the actions of pedos and people that cheat on their wives were protected and swept under the rug by their buddies. Epstein would be proud.

>>1848654
But the pedos (Setsuko) were banned. We're safe.

>>1848663
didnt do shit, didnt ban enemycrab. you guys can't admit u banned Setsuko cus Kipling was outed for being a simp loser who can't handle rejection. he wanted his d*** sucked and u sucked it instead of her.

Woman hands typed this

>>1848907
As seen by her Reddit posts, she lies about anything no matter how small to make herself the victim, which is why no one believes a word she says about anything.

>zenith
Do you guys seriously want to play here?
I mean i could understand if it was a single box server without trusts but who the hell wants to play “old” FFXI if you’re just going to solo everything with trusts?
>b-but anon its only two trusts
Nigga unless its the shitass “adventuring fellow” that will never replace an actual human being and only stays for an hour daily any amount of trusts will absolutely bring in the solo players.
And lets be honest, you can insist all you want about catseye but that server is literally just retail without the powercrept gear so why not just fucking play retail? 99 cap is the only abilitycreel you need to ruin the experience anyway every mage will have access to the exact same tolls, all melee will just be sams, etc
Horizon may be led by an egocentric faggot but its literally the only option we have and I’m not gonna kid myself until someone tries to do another wings but correctly this time

I don't know why anyone would want to play on zenith with renamed Loxley as the head

trusts are going to be a mistake

I don’t get why you wouldn’t play catseye if you just want retail lite gameplay, what does zenith do differently?

>>1849051
>>1849013
>>1849011

Same guy btw, how about wait for the server to come out faggot?

Shit isnt even coming out for months.

Also on the aspect of trusts, broski you know that its going to be harder to farm solo right? this isnt horizon where you can kill EP mobs 15 levels below you for 60 exp, its going to be era in the regard so its going to be harder in general to solo ANYTHING without trusts.

Assuming you aren't a shill just wait and see faggot

>>1849089

I find it funny that people shit on trusts while playing on horizon getting exp scrolls and free 10k exp band every week and soloing EP mobs which is arguably better than group play in the long run because you get all drops and can seal farm which again is more gil per hour.

Horizon is a shit hole

>>1849093
"Getting exp scrolls"

Replace with

"getting a free 3k for tagging a mob on an airship and afking a few seconds."

So many retards mad that superior Horizon killed their shitty gay servers

>>1849093
barely anything about the server is a passable reflection of 'era' or whatever, it's just a little toybox for weird scumbags

>>1849153
True and real. It’s just Catseye v2 except Loxley is the Carver of the server instead of Carver. It’s a meme server.

uh oh some edenbabby having a melty over... eco warrior and highwind? lmao

>>1849178
Me and my dual box are gonna kick your ass!!!

>>1849089
Please kill yourself Loxley
I have seen enough of your retarded takes to know not to give your server a chance whatsoever from the moment I found out you were running it. Focus on actually releasing it first though as it looks like you’re just gonna be another fucking aerec in that regard.
Faggot.

>>1849093
At least exp parties exist in horizon. Unlike Catseye or retail
Regardless I’ll come back to the scene when someone does wings 2. Even if its era progression based, I just dont want any of that gay fucking custom bullshit

>>1849440
Wings 2 was OMEGA custom what the actual fuck are you talking about lmao. They even had super baby tier shit like moving to cancel casts IMMEDIATELY which entirely changes 75 cap. Did you even play there you fucking retard?

Oh wait fuck off Gweivyth

>>1849434

Lol, schizo thinks hes talking to an admin

>>1849445
You completely misread my post but I admit I didn’t provide enough context in the first place i thought saying I didn’t want any custom shit would be enough but apparently you took wings 2 as something that already existed once.
What I want is a server on the same era as wings that is actually properly coded. As in no fucking ranger burns or other stupid shit like that.
I’m not giving you the benefit of the doubt again, so you better not make another nonconstructive post.

>>1849472
Saying you wanted wings 2 implies you want all the custom BS that comes with it and the crazy shit they fucking pulled. You should have just said “I want a WOTG era server”.

>>1849524
I would think that saying wings 2 and no custom shit in the same sentence would be enough context for you to realize what i meant. I clarified further when i realized it could be misinterpreted by a seething schizophrenic. Last reply you’re getting out of me from this subject but safe to say I think what I said was fine.

Schizos galore!!! Everyone post like this is private diary and you want to cry about people!!!

>>1849574

Anon stop arguing with horizon staff, they have been refreshing these threads in damage control mode ever since they let Kipling scare away all the devs

>>1850030
It's aerec who scared off the devs, he's too self important, his opinion is the only one that matters. anyone elses input? trash and worthless

everyone under him is there only to serve him. reminder that anyone who talked back got clapped by him directly

>>1850030
Kipling was the only one giving that team any semblance of sanity

>>1850053
real homies know this to be true

>>1850053

He was using his orbital mass to keep everyone together.

>>1850063
better that than aerec's sharts all over the staff channels with his "ideas" and throwing everyone elses suggestions out the window

Staff member exploiting Semicolons death for pussy points no shame

>>1850074
Rahne isn’t staff… that we know of

>>1850074
shit, did he really die? the cancer got him?

thinking about getting back into 11 and i have no idea which server in the OP is worth playing
or which ones have BLU

>>1850080

Dont even bother, just wait for horizon to release ToAU in 2030 or zenith to come out next year, take your pick.

>>1850080
Only Horizon and Eden are worth playing right now. Horizon if you want population, Eden if you want more content but you’ll have to dual box probably.

>>1850075
So close so far away

>>1850078
His death shall be content redeemable for pussy points

time for your meds kipling your schizo delusions are ooc

there wouldnt be horizon without aerec

>>1850030
Kipling ate the devs, that’s why he’s so fat.

>>1850197
It would be better

>>1850197
that's right. It would be better, without Ophelia's utter H1B indian tier worse than AI generated code fuckign up the codebase and the rebase might have been done by now if Aerec werent allowing the codebase to be shit up

Damarus, Kore, Aerec, and Ophelia all made it worse. And Aerec allowed it, maybe even encouraged it.

>>1850078
Sadly, yes. Memorial in Valkurm all weekend if you'd like to partake.

>>1850197
The private server scene would still be open source and have all the Wings missions coded by now instead of being doomed to a rewrite by volunteers like Beasty. Fuck Horizon and Aerec for holding the entire community back. Fuck Ninja too

>>1850272
Uh oh Winterfagstice melty!

>>1850308
Sadly? That guy was a dick and everybody is treating it like he was a saint. You don’t magically become a good person because you died.

>>1850718
he codes better and researches better than all ASB cucks

>>1850724
you couldn't take the heat

>>1850724
I don't have any negative experiences with him. He clearly had friends before he died. Being a dick doesn't mean you deserve death.

>>1850724
Exactly. Perfect time to farm clout and pussy points off of his death.

>>1841773 (OP)
Lots of microceleb drama not enough cat butts.

Who died

>>1850976
SpicyRyan

Retail noob (started in dec). The last update broke a bunch of the icons. I updated XIview but I want to add some of the stuff from https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/57037/hd-ui-and-skillspell-mods-xivew-variant/
I know it says Xiview variant on there but what's the difference between Xiview and XIpivot if they both overwrite DAT files? How do I know which one I should use?

>>1850976
>> Player IRL Death
>> Clout farm

No one important died. Fun server content though.

>>1851075
Wanna hang out and makeout at the next players funeral event? Lol

Player base actually dying before ToaU.

>>1850841
No one said he deserved death, retard, but he doesn’t deserve celebration just for dying either

>>1851025
XI Pivot is a .DAT replacer tool that overrides .DATs for you when configured properly. Think of it like a ghetto mod manager for FFXI - that is a gross over simplification btw.

XI View is the actual mod (the .DAT files) that changes the game

Heals is a retard btw

>>1851206
A celebration of life is done for those left behind. Let people have their time of grieving and stop being a fucking weirdo about someone IRL dying.

>>1851323
I wouldn't expect much nuance from most people ITT, especially losers like r*hn*

>>1851352
>she doesn't know

>>1851359
Fuck off Rahne

>>1851383
Cry more.

>>1851195

what's with the balding female population of horizon?

>>1850965
sexoooooooooo

>he isn't aware it's absolutely fake reddit upvote farming

>>1851323
go back and virtue signal on the beach with Hugin you fucking faggot.

>>1851448
I hope no one goes to your funeral

It’s too bad Rahne didn’t die instead

>>1851485
So far in my life it seems the wrong people die early and similarly the people who should die early live to be quite old

>>1851485
>>1851448
I enjoy making fragile boys angry.

My name is Rahne and I farm karma by exploiting the dead

Thanks for listening to my cunt talk

>>1851508
It's just so easy!

>>1851451
I'm sure no one will go to yours when you are logged into this game 24/7, ignoring your family and/or friends, either. Your loved ones gave up on you 20 years ago when you flunked out of school from continuously camping on this game and they still haven't regained their faith in you so you have to go to some dick's "funeral" while sitting next to a washed up community manager/pervert/serial cheater and some ugly fat chick while pretending you're a good person for memorializing some dick only because he died to cancer.

I dont do HNMs and I have a job desu

are you projecting?

>>1851622
Why lie Rahne? The only thing you camp more than HNMs is Naten’s unwashed cock

>>1851628
naten is a volcel

>>1851628
That's not me idiot.

>>1851628
That's me actually, I lied (I am a schizo)

Can't stop, won't stop moving
It's like I got this music

'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off
Heart-breakers gonna break, break, break, break, break
And the fakers gonna fake, fake, fake, fake, fake

I shake it off, I shake it off

I never miss a beat
I'm lightning on my feet

You could never know what it's like
Your blood, like winter, freezes just like ice
And there's a cold, lonely light that shines from you
You'll wind up like the wreck you hide behind that mask you use
And did you think this fool could never win?
Well, look at me, I'm a-comin' back again
I got a taste of love in a simple way
And if you need to know while I'm still standin', you just fade away

Don't you know, I'm still standin' better than I ever did?
Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin' like a little kid
And I'm still standin' after all this time
Pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Once, I never coulda hoped to win
You're startin' down the road, leavin' me again
The threats you made were meant to cut me down
And if our love was just a circus, you'd be a clown by now

You know, I'm still standin' better than I ever did
Lookin' like a true survivor, feelin' like a little kid
And I'm still standin' after all this time
Pickin' up the pieces of my life without you on my mind

I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
I'm still standin' (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

Don't you know that I'm still standin' better than I ever did?

>>1850272
this is a lot of bitching for someone who isn't doing shit, this thread is always filled with the most annoying whiny lazy bitches. learn how to code or go play a different game bitch boy. better yet go play retail for the missions, it's actually pretty fun

>>1851979
>this is a lot of bitching for someone who isn't doing shit
it seems you are not aware

>>1851979
When Ophelia is brought up you can tell it’s Winterfagstice whining. He has an unhealthy obsession with her and Aerec.

>>1852043
>no it must be him that has an unhealthy obsession... truly...
hmm...

>>1851979
None of those faggots do anything.

Aerec? sits on his ass and pretends like he owns the place (it's actually frank)
Kore? no commits in ages, and when he does it's crashy garbage.
Damarus? can't fix gardening bugs, doesn't know how to null check. He's been "working on" gardening for 2 years now

Ophelia has fully fucked off and her code is in the process of being erased from the codebase and replaced with actual sane code. She is hte primary reason why the rebase is taking so long. Say "Thank you" to Beasty!

>>1852043
its like 10 people who beef with each other as a hobby and for attention lol

the level of nobody microfame these people trip off of is insane lol

>>1852066
who the fuck are you even talking about bro, i have no idea who anyone in this list is besides aerec bc he's basically a spokesperson for horizon and makes posts

nobody except the people listed knows who these people are and nobody cares

>>1852087
they are "staff"

>>1852088
who fucking cares lmao

you are playing a free pirated game shut the fuck up and go play a different fucking game for a while

>>1852091
why do you want your pirated game to be worse than it is for no reason?

>>1852095
i play a free game, have fun, enjoy my time, and move on to another game, or a paid version of the game, because im not a schizo autist, i'm just a regular autist lmfao

reads like a schizo autist to me bro

>>1852098
that's because you are literally schizophrenic and interacting with a game normally feels weird to you

Interacting with your mom feels natural to me thoughbeit

>>1852103
haha gottem

Anyone have any big plans this week? New adventures?

>>1852303
grooming another kid so I can move in 2 years

>>1852303
I just started on Eden so gonna try get as close to exping in qufim as possible

>>1852377
What job did you pick?

>>1852303
Just dusting off my pld and updating my gearsets, not touched it in 2 years and hoping too play it again

>>1852383
I'm mental so I level them all to 10 initially for early conquest points then I'll likely do war/mnk or rdm/whm to 50-60 (Just to a suitable level to do power thru missions and unlock Sea and Sky) then see what's needed for real job wise

>>1852377
Me too. Was debating between catseye crystal or fresh toon on Eden single box and just see. Eden seems comfier but why tf don't they have a server wide noobshell. Atleast on Catseye the chatbox is lit from the moment you log in and you don't feel alone

>>1852386
What do you plan on doing with PLD? Tanking HNMs or things like sky/sea?

>>1852407
Yeah just start tanking ls events, dyna, omen, etc. Maybe stuff like odyssey and sortie when I get more confident with things

>>1852303
Going to suck my “age gap” boyfriend’s child penis so he’ll let me stay at his parent’s house for free and then play hello kitty island adventure until they tell me to get a job again, at which time I’ll claim I have PTSD or some other bullshit so I can’t work and repeat the process all over again. After that I’ll probably continue crying about being banned from a private server over 2 years ago on this board and anywhere that hasn’t banned me yet incessantly

>>1852425
Best of luck! Tanking stresses me out so I hope you at least enjoy it!

>>1852443
Cheers, yeah don’t blame you. It’s just mainly gathering up a fuckton of mobs and getting them at the right angle to block with shield that’s I’m paranoid about

>>1851448
>>1851508
>>1851617

I thought I was the only one who noticed this.

>>1852066
Kipling erps meanwhile

>>1851617
Hey anon who is the serial cheater and the fat chick in your post?

>>1852066
Damarus was active for a day recently because Kipling’s LS stole Kirin from Damarus’ LS. Other than that? Dude is worthless.

>>1852474
shut the fuck up Kanryu, you know that if it went white from it wiping you'd take it too

If it's white it's right, HNM faggots like (You) love double standards like this. Stop making staff look bad by being a hypocrite, loser

Why would someone want to dual box in an ancient mmo. It's something you did on live when you wanted to sweat it up and get yourself an advantage, but dealing with that kind of autism on a 4fun server? I just don't get it.

>>1852520
Staff is bad though

Horizon unironically seems like a dumpster fire lol.... im going back too retail until some other server pops up i guess...

old bearded man in a pink unicorn uniform. r u telling me without telling that this is the gay club

>>1852708
retail rocks, i quit horizon months ago and resubbed, been having a blast, seeing this sick shit these fucking losers are posting in here from HXI doesn't have me missing a single second of the server

>>1852708
It's even worse considering certain individuals are posting here rather than working on the server. So glad I went to other pservers to scratch the itch.

i made a new character named semicologne

>>1852775
> New server
> Gets Popular

>>1852775

i care about any post that doesn't name drop people i've never heard of until i read these threads

>>1852789
WAAAAAHHHHH VOLUNTEERS ARENT DOING WORK IN THE PROJECT THEY FO FOR FREEE WAHHHHHHHH!!!!

my diamond studded cock ring has a gem of each kind for each penis in me

>>1853532
I just got an idea. Why don't WE make our OWN Final Fantasy XI private server? With blackjack, and hookers, and Treasures of Aht Urghan.

>>1852647
When you play a game for 20 years you find new ways to spice up your gameplay.

>>1854084
You won’t though because your a professional whiner

>>1854128
>>1853532
You're the problem

who was this semicolon guy and why should I care that he died?

>>1854128
that's actually not why. The reason is because I have no idea how to do it and have no means to make it happen whatsoever

>>1852465
> Serial cheater Hugin
> Fat chick Rahne

>>1854280
>>1854280
500 dollar bet says his wife won't be attending hour Las Vegas meet up.Can you guess why?

>>1854317
She has no desire to be around the absolute degens from this game as seen ITT.

>>1854279
This is actually why I suggested "we" make our own FFXI private server. "We" as in you guys do it for me because surely there are people here with bow staff skills and computer hacking skills who can actually make a server. That seems very implausible though so it kind of makes me just appreciate existing ffxi private servers just a little

>>1854363
Poor excuse

Checking in again. It's now July 14. Does Horizon have its rebase yet?

>>1854479
do you mean the rewrite?

>>1854317
Whorizon

Is horizon really bad? i kinda don't want to pay sub fees for 20+ years old game.

>>1854540
that depends on who you ask. If you just want to experience mostly era ffxi CoP/RoZ story/jobs horizon does just fine. Some jobs you will get non-stop tells for xp. If you want to stay and do endgame stuff though be prepared to have to compete for almost everything and have aerec change the rules because he felt like it.

>>1854479
LOL

>>1854247
Cry about it faggot.

>>1854540
Horizon is dominated by a handful of people who buy gil from the guy that runs it, everyone else is a shitter and kept in the shit.

I sell gil to Aerec AMA

>>1855319
Medication time grandpa.

Horizon is dominated by f+ Elvaan, everyone else is a shitter and kept in the shit.

So.... does anyone want to talk about the game? I've been getting into PUP.

>>1856213
Is it pricey? I want to level a support class like COR or BRD.

>>1856240
It is. The attachments especially, but in the long run it's probably less pricey than COR or BRD or RDM.

>>1856254
Is it good for group content? I don't want to spend all my time seeking for parties and endgame.

>>1855739
Proof?

>>1856285
It has some niche use for group content, there’s certain ambuscades they shine at depending on month. I’ve brought mine along to dyna to pull trash and tank the w1/2 bosses. Also has utility in some odyssey comps for gaol.

So are any girls besides that fat chick going to the meet-up in Vegas?

>>1856397
Probably a few trannies. I hope they livestream it.

>>1856572
Already applied.

>>1856240
>>1856285
You can get BRD functional with just 5/5 Fili +2 and Terpander, but you will be expected to be working on at least Gjallarhorn, Daurdabla and Moonbow Whistle +1.

>>1855319
You forgot the rug pull nerfs making it harder for new players to do anything important like farm seals and dyna currency

>>1857410
Nta but just upgraded my second piece of fili to +2 today, should definitely have the galli for another piece tomorrow, the jump in macc on these pieces is fucking insane. Have a moonbow +1 and a miracle cheer too, this bard alt is really coming along, but I do need to get abyssea shit done and start work on a daurdabla soon. There's just so much other shit to do and moon+1/miracle cheer is great for now

It's been at least three years by now. Has the first content expansion ever come out?

My kid downloaded horizon. Is it safe for him to play?

>>1857636
No there's a convicted pedo playing and actively trying to groom minors. Posting about it gets you banned.

>>1857636
haaaaaaaiiiiiii <3 yeah, what's his name? ^^ ask Kipling for a pearl!

>>1857646
wrong, that's not the groomer, the crab people are

>>1857649
bro... you can't just say that...

I don't know where to play HorizonXI or Retail...they both have their pros and cons....

HorizonXI pros: Free, the world is not lonely and feels less like a ghost town, low stats (pre-ilevel era), simple gameplay, crafting and gathering are very useful so it feels more like an mmo, you visit a lot of areas and experience old FFXI, level everything to 75, farm gil and become the king of the server.

HorizonXI cons: Time consuming, Requires party to do anything, the server is run by amateurs, the server is buggy, you will encounter bad players who think they are good at the game, there seems to be a lot competition in the end-game, a lot of drama (never encountered any myself), no stable future for the server.

Retial pros: The full game, all the jobs, all the full content and it will take you years to finish everything and collect everything you want, able to solo a lot of things, Lots of helpful players, less drama.

Retail cons: Monthly fees, ilevel era with lots of stats on gear, when it comes to gear everyone is years ahead of you, takes a long time to gear jobs (takes many months to gear 1 job), lonely empty world, you will not be invited to deal damage or tank unless you are super geared and have a lot of experience (basically a veteran), you will play alone most of the time until you have few jobs geared.

>>1855319
The reason so many teenagers loved XI back in the day was if you worked hard you could be someone important on the server. With private servers it's just about if you suck up to the right people or buy gil. It's fucking shit.

The gm team abuse stuff too.

>>1857725
you buy gil in retail too.

>>1857710
https://www.ffxiah.com/forum/topic/58210/before-you-play-a-pserver-guide-for-womenminors/

>>1857728
Gil is easier to make legit on retail, it's extremely hard to farm on horizon. So buying gil makes you far more powerful there, to the point of the game barely being worth playing if you're legit, start late and care about accomplishing things.

>>1857710
Out of the dozens of players to join my Linkshell in the past 3 months, only 2 were outgoing and social enough to make their newbab status known and now regularly join our events and side grinds. All you have to do is show up and say “hey I’m new and I want to play X” or “hey, can I come with you to X?”

>>1857737
i'm not a woman faggot

>>1857725
Hell yeah preach it brother. What did they get you for rmt or fish botting?

>>1857737
that thread is not tangible

Retail is the only server I'd let my wife play. Too many creeps on ps I wouldn't want her near someone like Kipling.

Private servers is the only server I'd let my kids play. Too many creeps on ps I wouldn't want her near someone like Setsuko or Tannifae.

>>1856397
lmao hell no

>>1856397
Its a sausage party and stds

>>1857646
Kipling isn’t grooming minors. The pedo you’re looking for is rival crustacean.

>>1858783
yeah the fuck he is where have you been?

I'm a noob and want to play a bit of XI, what server should I play on? I have basic knowledge of the game from playing a tiny bit of retail years ago

>>1857902
>rapist detected

>>1859628
Horizon is you're trans and enjoy being cucked out of doing sky/dynamis.

>>1859512
Name one instance. You can’t. Stop spread misinformation because you hate someone. Maybe log off the game if your life is so boring that you must spread rumors. Grown ass women =! minor.

>>1859762
>Grown ass women =! minor.
the state of this thread makes me think the opposite

>>1859762
1. You don't need to be a minor to be groomed by men in power like Kipling.

2. He is easily 5 to 10 years older than her

3. How do you know for sure she's not a minor?

The guy probably has dozens of victims of various ages including girls as young as 12 but you're here defending him

>>1859762
Ironic given the other posts ITT.

>>1859994
mental illness

if you were a female with tits would you be alone with Kipling. really try to imagine for a moment.

>>1859994
You still aren't giving me an example. If you are talking about Conehead, she is well into her 40s and not a minor. I believe she is older than Kipling. Who's the groomer now? Are you also going to ignore the fact that she has actively groomed someone who is 20 years younger than her?

Again, no real facts, just a "probably" statement; thus, you need to shut the fuck up. Allegations like pedo/rapist cries can ruin someone's life, and you shouldn't be accusing someone based on "probably", so that's why I'm defending him.

So again, shut the fuck up and bring up a real case before spreading rumors.

Get off the game, and touch some grass. Your life is boring as fuck because you go off "probably" instead of fact.

>>1859994
This is just projection to distract you from the fact that the person in question here is in her 40's grooming a 20 year old who she lives with because her husband divorced her because she's a fucking waste of life loser.

>>1860071
????????

>>1860071
Meds time, Kipling.

>>1860064
>bring up a real case before spreading rumors.
lmao even

>>1860060
I wouldn't be alone with any staff from Horizon. These threads are a case study as to why.

wait enough about kipling the pedo didn't they add a new nm? what was it?

>>1860121
it was setsuko's bush

>>1860121
Goblin. Drops cosmetics. Piss yellow tshirt.

>>1860071
It’s ok because nearly every straight white male’s porn fetish is being fucked by a hot MILF.

>>1860095
Hope you are never on the receiving end when a woman says you touched her at work. Or cries rape. Or that your a kiddy diddler.

Even if the allegations turn out to be false people will still be wary around you.

>>1860153
I don't worry about these because I treat women as people instead of rage posting about them for 2.5 years on 4chan. Enjoy the karma.

>>1860161
you going to Vegas uwu

>>1860161
rage posting AS them*

can y'all banned niggas just make your own server? i'll leak the horizon source

>>1860180
Post it, pussy.

>>1860180
would u sell?

>>1860161
I can smell you through the screen

We(I) love the horizon source code here

>>1860180
They are its called zenith

>>1860235
loxley didn't get banned did he?

>>1860241
We're all banned according to the pedo (Kipling).

>>1860245
you know setsuko is older than kipring right?

>>1860256
Who?

>>1860257
me

>>1860071
how does being close to 30 make someone a 20 year old

>>1860153
That is the beauty of it. You can never prove that it is false. People will always inclined to believe what sounds negative

>>1860275
Don't reply to the pedo. Wouldn't want to be guilty by association.

Imagine being Snow’s parents when he asks if his 40 year old girlfriend can move in

>>1860292
Is this "snow" in the room with us?

>>1860293
he's in the room with setsuko, failing to make her cum (again)

>>1860298
What does this have to do with FFXI?

>>1860305
oh shit i'm sorry, I forgot I wasn't in the silk road discord riding aerec's dick again

>>1860307
Again, what do this have to do with FFXI?

>>1860310
Aerec is in the OP, he is the KING of horizon

>>1860316
Still no mention of FFXI. Have you tried keeping a diary for your incoherent ramblings?

>>1860321
so this thread isn't about FFXI? ok

>>1860326
No this is about if you were a female with tits would you rather be alone with Aerec or Kipling

>>1860342
kipling

aerec gives off rapey vibes

>>1860342
Is there a neither option?

>>1860342
what if im female without tits?

>>1860342
futa included?

>>1860346

Who all is expected to be there? I just know that it's on September 5th and the next day or so after and that they'll be meeting at a restaurant called Texas de Brazil. I assume they're also going to go to gambling stuff because it is Vegas, but I know not who all will be going, exactly

>>1862202
ur right im faking for attention. who wants to give me some gil? meet me in gteas gambling spot

give me one good reason why hnm's shouldn't be pops, if you want to limit the amount spawned to keep the gear high value just make the pops come from high level merit camps only geared players can do with a sub 1% chance or something

>>1862485
or just go the actually sensible route and instance them jesus christ

Aerec runs the server and tells us the best times he had in FFXI was... get this... "watching movies" between windows with his HNMLS

lol

>>1862981
so just watch movies with them before the event if its pop?

>>1863018
during, but yeah

the dumbest fucking shit i've ever heard

>>1862485
Horizon can't make new content, they want to keep HNM relevant as long as possible. As such you want to keep people from the monster and loot as long as possible.

It just works.

>>1862485
>people get their items > people quit > server pop goes down > aerec makes less money from selling gil.
>people chase 1% drops from weekly NMs. > they can never stop > chronically online campers, server pop stays high > they probably want something like a relic at this point, ez money

As a newcomer to XI the only thing I can only see saving horizon’s endgame is nostalgia. Every activity with a group looks absolutely miserable, with having to stand around doing nothing for a chance to get a claim, and the only way to get gear in an event is with your LS managing your “participation points” instead of the game compensating you.
For the server with the biggest population they should properly take advantage of it. Leveling is an enjoyable experience because you have the choice of pugging with randoms and meet different people, endgame should work like this too. Have a choice to pug, and stick to your LS if you don’t want to play with shitters.

>>1863100
>and the only way to get gear in an event is with your LS managing your “participation points” instead of the game compensating you.
they made this less bad in later expansions but yeah more or less that's the truth

>>1863078
Is he actually selling gil? Like is there some kind of concrete proof of this?

>>1863113
I doubt he is but it's a good meme so I won't deny it. Aerec is a bad person desu

>>1863100
it's just Japanese everquest with better presentation and that's how it was done back then in eq so that's how square made ffxi.
square got into their own footing and started pushing for lower man content whenever you want in toau and alliance/hnm shit was pretty much killed in wotg outside of a few things that eventually got pushed into low manning too anyways.
ffxi for like 75% of its life has been devoid of the annoying time wasting hnm bullshit

>>1863131
I played ffxi since 2004 and never once did HNM. Not on retail. Not on Nasomi. Not on Wings. Not on Horizon.

I do not understand this obsession with HNM. I never felt the need to stand for hours waiting for a boss to spawn just to potentially get outclaimed by the so called JP button.

I had a friend once who I played with for years. One day he got angry and told me he was quitting the game because "all it is is standing around waiting for NMs."

He had been hunting some Yagudo in Castle Oz for many months to no avail.

No one is making you do that particular content.

>>1863189
Everyone felt that way, the game was better when it was moved away from this bullshit.
I get the appeal of excitement of sometimes claiming a really cool boss but i can't stand the chance of pop.
i think the system would be so much better if it was a guaranteed spawn every 20 hours or maybe 1 hnm spawns every hour daily at the same time. so fafnir guaranteed spawns at 4 and behe at 5, with conquest moving all these hours up one so next week fafnir spawns at 5 and behe at 6 so all time zones have a chance.
what's crazy about horizon is like half of the custom changes are dedicated to hnms from claiming to boss mechanics to drop pool changes but 95% of the server will never see them

>>1863204
Don't forget the GMs spending time as random HNM models in the camp zones rather than answering tickets.

>>1863034
Hey now. I heard they got a brand new NM. Has anyone seen it yet? What's it drop?

>>1863189
They can't really stop, that's the thing. It's basically gambling. It's too hard to just walk away after spending hours there. End game is even worse because point systems are necessary. "I'm next in line, finally all those days will be worth it!" It's doubly satanic when you think about it like that. You can even put it all together like: you have to have points, you have to get claim, you have to have enough people to kill it, you have to avoid getting MPKd, you have to get it to drop, you have to hope no one has a schizo meltdown and steals it. Private servers don't even have like half the stuff that made it ridiculous to begin with, which is sad. It's crazy but that's what makes it so rewarding for the people that do it as their job.

>>1863189
>I do not understand this obsession with HNM. I never felt the need to stand for hours waiting for a boss to spawn just to potentially get outclaimed by the so called JP button.
It's sunk cost retards who think HNM is the end-all-be-all of FFXI endgame

like kanryu

>>1863299
Shut the fuck up Winter.

>>1863312
those two are friends lol

>>1863315
Just like Aerec and Kipling?

Probably going to dog-pile me but I like HNM.

Claiming a Nidhogg with 4 people and holding it until the backup arrives? All eyes on you, hoping you fuck up for just a moment and wipe? Finally getting that abjuration you wanted? I live for those moments.

>>1863319
Aerec is no one's friend.

>>1863280
it drops a miner hat. its a gobbo ??? pop at the crags. a very weird sudden addition that was forgotten about instantly

>>1863357
>horizonites waited 2 years for this
kek

>>1863357
another out of era item brought to you by Aerec, the king of "Era"!

mindblown TIL zenith is the actual rebase because it replaces all the inadequate horizon staff plus it will be done right

>>1863752
It replaces the inadequate horizon staff with the inadequate zenith staff and will be done questionably instead of just horrendously

>>1863131
ironically everquest not having a claim system ended up being better because the shitstorms that followed contested bosses usually resulted in rotations being set up to prevent it from ever happening again

DESU I'd rather do dynamis and get the gil to just pay an HNM LS for Dalmatica or whatever else I want.

>>1863113
look how much gil is available to buy on auction sites, where do you think it all comes from? also don't you find it weird aerec has no job?

>>1863797
Aerec had a job but got laid off. Maybe Beira is doing onlyfans lmao

>>1863797
that is speculation. I am asking for evidence.

>>1863285
It's really the ultimate form of vidya gambling, there's about 3 or 4 different RNG factors that need to happen just to be able to roll on the item. The dopamine rush from getting a super rare item and then showing it off because not many people have it is what people sit around all for months if not years camping for.

My issue with the end game is that even if you're not interested in HNMs, you're still sitting around waiting to get into Dynamis or Limbus because there's 1 instance for the entire server and it's just a complete waste of time if someone snipes it before you get in. The true end game of FFXI is standing around doing fucking nothing. Which is why it's the perfect WFH game.

>>1863845
screenshot taken from his Discord. The name and important details are conveniently censored because I'm afraid of being banned on 4chan

>>1863907
red censor box? that's kanryu

>>1863113
Doubt it since they were so hard on Shozo for selling gil and characters

>>1863412
>>1863366
i don't really get it.
it's a really lame fight with a lame cosmetic so what's the point, who decided to get up and said we need to add a random goblin nm.
I'm all for additional nms being added, but if i was in charge i would just grab wotg 75 era items that will never be added and reward those out for decently challenging nms from mid game to endgame that don't do anything crazy but do require a few people and some camping to get.
some of the comfy moments was finally get getting your hands on relatively easy items but still require a little effort

>>1864020
I'd love for normal cosmetics to be added to the game rather than the various tshirts. Females get opaline, where's the equivalent for males?

>>1864020
probably to piss people off
the shirts genuinely shit on everything 75 cap stood for while making no sense lore wise and looking awful. It would explain why aerec picks out the worst cosmetics like sheep heads, wing armor, shirts. These should be untangible items

>>1863752
>trusts
Literally just play catseye.
Any retard that thinks you can have era with any amount of trusts is a retard, like Loxley
Just ostracize any and all solo players

>>1863874
What most people in this thread don’t get is that having rare unattainable items like these is essentially what made older MMOs worthwhile experiences since you’re essentially chasing for an item that will take you a very long time to get. Most people complaining about HNMs are either frustrated old players who went into the private server scene thinking maybe this time I can be one of the bigwigs or zoomers that have only played modern MMOs like WoW and FFXIV which hands them endgame gear in a silver platter and your “grind” is essentially for minor 1-2% dps increases even if you are a healer or tank.
All this being said, I do think the HNM system sucks but even square fixed that eventually by adding pop items. The game is still an insurmountable grind because of this.
The only things I would change is hnm pop items and dynamis forcing ls leaders to distribute the dynamis cash on each run. The heart of an MMO lies in community experiences as well as legendary items such as these, but I do agree that letting a linkshell leader control the entire endgame scene is also fucking retarded. There are ways to fix this without ruining what is era about this though.
I will never agree to making endgame stuff easily attainable like some people in this thread want but anything that involves a claiming competition can definitely fuck off

>>1864167
100% being able to solo with trusts is the biggest deciding factor from old and nu ffxi
Kneecapping trusts by limiting to half a party won’t stop them from dominating haha it just makes soloing take a bit longer. People are still going to solo to max level and get fully geared out to only log in for events like every other trust server.
You just now have to xp on toughs instead of incredibly tough

>>1864176
I don’t mind a grind if there’s least something going on like a merit grind or killing placeholders but being stuck at home only paying attention to the screen every 10 mins/hour for a chance for the monster to spawn which 99% of the challenge is just getting the camera addon and targeting the fucker is boring. I like the idea of pops because an ls could build up a few fights with a month or two of farming and have a day which is nonstop fights and drops planned out.
Theirs other ways to accomplish the goal of rare sought after pieces without timed spawns.

>>1864222
it will ACTUALLY be comfy duo with your bro

HNM fits because there’s not much else content. The people whining about HNM are a handful of old people who had to RTO after COVID and are upset because they can’t camp during work. Their cope is HNMLS people have mental illness, etc, because they are jealous of people who can WFH.

>>1863797
ffxi classic is the perfect rmt mmorpg, it's full of a bunch of middle aged men that don't have time or energy for it. so they just camp or do the stuff they want to do, and buy gil instead of farming. Since they know the owner is the one supplying it, they won't get banned and so it becomes a weekly habit. inflation is out of control, which is a sign of money printing and also a handful of people are kings of the server and have things locked down. It's a joke.

If you could make tens of thousands of dollars a month off whales, and there is no oversight why the fuck would you not do it? does aerec just come across like some idealistic moral actor that would turn down free money?

>>1864238
People complained it was shit the first time around 20 years ago thats why hnms pretty much stop existing post cop.
Even toau only aded 3 and the drop pool was far from impressive

>>1864414
Post cop for sure but Horizon is still in cop and will forever be in cop. Anyone promising that today is coming soon is in a cop(e)

>>1864034
>Females get opaline, where's the equivalent for males?
Aerec: Sir that's out of era, you're never getting it!!!
Also Aerec: please have these other cosmetics that are out of era

>>1864238
HNMLS is mental illness

>>1864238
>WFHggers
soulless
this is actually the biggest reason to kill HNMs forever now

>>1864558
what kills me is if cuckrizon used the SE solution for HNM pops where they drop from KS99 the WFHfags would flood every zone to farm KS literally 24/7 and it would probably kill most mid leveling zones instantly

>>1864222
soloing to max level incredibly slowly does not take away from classic being classic. Neither does the existence of trusts.

>>1864618
2 Trusts will allow you to exp at a similar rate to exp parties at all level ranges. This will also let you exp like a full party with just one other person. The guy doesn’t want to make an era experience he wants to make a solo friendly mmo, its absolute hubris that Loxley thinks this is era.
>make an exp party for crawlers nest
>get into a bitch fight with a level 45 player soloing on the level 36 crawler camp
Thats gonna be a great experience for sure anon

>>1864618
It absolutely does, having to play with other people is the core difference from launch ffxi and retail which were practically different games the second trusts got added.
Least compared to any other change

>>1864629
>2 Trusts will allow you to exp at a similar rate to exp parties at all level ranges
You must be awful and regularly play with awful players (worse than the average) if that's the case. Thankfully no new server is taking input from you.

simply having a trust to give you haste and -na is a gamechanger when solo

i dont think zenith cucks realize what they are doing

>>1864475
Yeah i accepted horizon as a cop server, and thats fine. Cop has tons of content if you have other things going on in your life, and don’t spend every waking moment on horizon.
Its whats strange about toau begging because the biggest beggers in like 4 months will run out of shit and idk beg for reworked abyssea or something lol.
Hmm’s were only a big thing in release and zilart. Even cop hnms started to clearly get put to the side as just one activity instead of THE endgame event. Toau hnms are sad, they only drop guaranteed crafting material, and 1 item thats sitting at like 50% drop chance instead of 5%.
Any hnm shell will fully grab everything they want from cerb in 2 months tops even if they have a bad claim rate.
Its weird people put hnm on such a pedestal when the content peaked with ground kings 23ish years ago and been irrelevant since.
It would make sense horizon to make custom hnms if they love the content so much. Just grab some random enemy model barely used like hounds, upscale it, put 1-2 toau/wotg loot into its drop pool with some money drops cause that shit is not being seen otherwise, give it some aga spells and maybe one mechanic and call it a day.
And more hnm spawns would probably make the system more bearable spreading people out when multiple timers eventually all start lining up.
Horizon can make decent fights, i enjoyed henm tier 1 a good amount. Just do that

>>1864655
>Horizon can make decent fights, i enjoyed henm tier 1 a good amount.
kipling designed most of that with some collab work with others. I do agree it turned out pretty good

>>1864671
henm tier 2 is fucking terrible, literally what happened?

>>1864674
mammet fight was originally completely different, the programmer who wrote it changed and they could no longer make it work so it was redesigned

I suspect that the others deviated from their original design too

>>1864646
You are a clown. If your goal is a perfect 30k exp an hour because your clique is so good at the game then why are you even interested in an era server. 99% of the people playing in these servers are nothing like you. At best you likely want to exploit them for your own “fun”.

>>1864743
Genuinely could just loxely seething people aren’t ready to hop onto whatever server he made now. He does post here.
Nobody is that stupid they can somehow argue trusts doesn’t ruin the classic experience lol.
Removing all the time needed finding people, traveling to camp and no wait ups on afks/reps already make trusts far far far higher in xp/hr.
You can also technically still 6 man party in xp on retail too

I don’t understand why even bother having trusts. Just auto set everyone’s level to 75 on character creation with some generic no stat 60-75 starting gear. The whole point of trusts was to get players to endgame when xp was dead, so why even have them. Just skip xp out right so players can just do the endgame shit.
Does adding in mandatory several days of killing easy monsters with ai really add anything? Players can also get the xp experience with merits anyways

>>1864769
allowing limited trusts is like allowing 2 boxing, probably less powerful even if you are actually good at controlling two characters

>>1864743
you are bad

what we need is erp finder on the website while we wait for a party invite for hrs

>>1864674
i think the t2 fights are at least as good as the t1 fights.

ultimega is a really good pre-nerf, as it rewarded coordination + using stronger strategies than default PLD+SMN. tonberry is also cool, but the limitations of the server makes a ton of lag around phasing which feels unfair (esp. in hard mode). mammet is pretty dogshit, though - the inefficacy of utsusemi would be much more interesting if SMN didn't undercut the game's enmity mechanics. if they ever release t3+t4, i hope they lean more into stun immunity and interesting positionals.

t2 loot is a travesty, though. most of it is unusable and the best pieces are all sidegrades/traps.

>>1865235
You have no argument.

>>1865235
Its not about whether a player is bad or good its that you pretend this is some sort of fucking excuse to add trusts. Its okay to add trusts because if you are a good player you will outpace a completely average party? Don’t be a fucking idiotic clown or at least tell me if you are just trolling. Nobody cares if you call them bad, nobody cares if you are some super high elite that strong arm a good camp or an nm from an average joe using add-ons. What most people want is the classic experience 95% of people do not want to play the majority of the game game with trusts until you get endgame. 95% of people aren’t like you who nolife the game and play it perfectly until you get to the point where you control the market on some rare item or some hnm pop. What most people actually want to chill and have a good time partying in a group like they did in the good old days then maybe do some endgame content later down the road.
The sooner you understand that loxley the sooner you can get to making a server people actually want to play in and not just the people that want to be number 1 competing over golden scraps in a dead server.

>>1865949
Theirs no still level in ffxi outside of niche blm soloing.
Simple ass skill Channing which people still have addons for to make it even easier takes zero thought.
I feel like im playing different game when someone talks about skill in this game. You roll the slot machine on gear, you slot it in a lua, and you pretty much just attack/reapply a long ass duration buff/basic timing.
It’s to accomplish a goal of course which is justifying trusts, because saying you just want to solo to 75 turns people off a mmo.
Just play retail or catseye for that experience. zenith is doa

>>1865965
The most skillful thing a melee player can do is press a single toggle for equipping a mdt set with like 6 seconds of time to react, and afk when it’s time to hold.
That’s it lol

imagine people actually talking about the game lately wowee.

Speaking of which, what happened to the old thread? It wasn't "achieved" like usual. It just says 404 not found like it was just straight up fucking deleted

>>1865235
>you are bad
Yes says the guy using add-ons and not playing with in game tools.
Says the guy who parties with the same 6 people everytime.
Says the guy who uses addons to claim monsters effortlessly.
Says the guy who systematically partied with 6 other people for 24 hours straight for several days so that the leader could control a specific item in the market on launch.
Says the guy who wants an era experience but with the ability to solo for god knows what reason.
Honestly what skill are you showing? What knowledge do you even have that I don’t? Nothing. You simply play the game more than me and use cheats. What exactly is an era experience for you then if its not partying together with other people to level and do missions? When you first played ffxi did you treat getting to endgame like it was a race? Did you experiment at all? Did you seethe about the people who controlled the market or where you one of those people? Where you the type of guy who made a linkshell then manipulated everyone in it to get you the exact item you wanted/needed? Do you seriously think most ffxi players played the game like this or are you actually a fucking mentally ill reject that complains about exactly this sort of hubris.
I really want to know what is it about you faggots that makes the private server scene for this game so dogshit. Every other old game I used to play does not have these problems like PSO or EQOA private server scene. People on those games literally just want to have fun. But as soon as horizon releases unless you are racing to endgame you are not worth acknowledging for feedback on the server because you are “bad” for completely arbitrary reasons? I know enough about this game to tell you that the sort of experience the typical player wants out of a private server will not be attained with trusts and dual boxing. I also know enough about this game to tell you that you are exactly the type of player that should be banned from these servers.

>>1866074

>>1866074
what the fuck is your problem? i do think limiting to one trust would probably be better for allowing some solo cope without taking over the game but holy shit you are deranged

Yeah whenever addons like gearswap or shit that helps you claim are brought into the fucking table you suddenly can’t argue with “skill” right? Thats what makes the average player “deranged” after all

lmao SE is retarded.
yea I'm thinkin aerec mogs.
Horizon wins AGAIN.

>>1866243
what makes you deranged is your unhinged reaction

>>1866407
There was nothing unhinged about it. Whats actually unhinged and retarded is replying to any argument with “you’re bad” as some sort of cureall to dismiss any opinion that disagrees with yours faggot.

>>1866407
So wanting to just chill and play with other randoms is deranged now? Not wanting to use add ons and getting screamed for it is deranged? Not wanting multi box or trusts is deranged? Ok bro. You are definitely loxley

Only remotely interesting and fun part about ffxi is other people. i shitpost or ask something in horizon chat i get 3-4 tells from people laughing with me or info.
I tried retail and all i got from asking a guy running by in tells if he could help me with something, can’t remember exactly what. He sent a tell back saying check the wiki, i said i can’t find the info on the wiki but i start shitposting fucking with him
“can’t lead a horse to water”
And he runs off
????????
Why the fuck do you guys still play retail? Soulless unfun garbage
Trusts being added to zenith i can only assume will make it the same situation. Its the ground zero of this attitude

>>1866567
filtered by the wiki again... It's over...

Solobox eden when?

>>1866567
Online multiplayer environments being populated by golems who are just there to make numbers go up in front of an audience is a universal MMO problem. I can easily counter your retail experience with mine, by sharing how seeing the same players at the same events, at the same times of day has so far always ended up in emote greetings and lengthy pre-event /say conversations. We even form pseudo-PUGs when our regulars don’t show. It’s really just a matter of being in the right place at the right times, these days.

>>1866074
Oh oh melty

You are pathetic lol. Why don’t you try posting your rant in a place where everyone can read it

ffxi endgamefags always be like it's actually soooo satisfying!!! then they have to go to sites like ffxiah and bg where they get extra epenis points for the stuff they get and endlessly circlejerk with upboats and beg for validation. Something like Discord is basically paradise for them. They have the maturity of teens It's actually super pathetic lmao

>>1866567
honestly you deserve worse, bothering a random person and then ungraciously lying to him, being an asshole for no reason, just because you're bored...

Alot of PS ffxi players are cowards. Hiding behind Sekrit shit talking clubs, passive aggressive jabs, mental gymnastics because they can't be upfront and 4chan. Like anon said, paradise for shit people.

He cheated with a tranny. Unless you mean the pedo.

>>1868255
He is going to vegas bc he didn't get sex from lilystartran

>>1868607
Who's he going to get sex from in vegas? How are the two connected?

>>1868581
How do you know this?

>>1868730
saw this and it immediately reminded me of this thread

Maybe when they do a single box sever.

You can stun and sleep things with pet moves. Otherwise the only real thing bst brings is having more bodies to tank shit which isn’t that good considering most endgame monsters spam aoe tp moves.
Bst pet accuracy is too bad for most endgame content is the main issue. They also can’t benefit from magic haste buffs and you can only give them 3% haste equipment buff which is practically nothing. They get extremely outscaled by dd players that the job falls off hard.
Horizon should have buffed pet accuracy and sheep song so they can least be brought to dyna more effectively. Whats the harm

My eden experience was 24/7 dunes only level sync with a level 75 dual box outside of the party healing us to full. I really don’t get why other servers bother to have era xp rates when they have shit like this. Just get me to endgame as soon as possible if xp is going to be that soulless

bst was way too broken at the start on horizon. they spent like the first half a year just gutting the job over and over again.

>>1868341
Don’t call them tangible!!

>>1868960
They gave pets way too much hp and a ja that let them use expensive jugs for free from what i remember. Just keep hp low but give pets like 20-30 acc across the board

Deserved for cheating with vtuber trannies who use voice changers. Not understanding how serial cheaters keep falling for that when you can hear the distortion of their voice changers…

They should have known something was up when im assuming they used decently attractive women to castfish them. You’re fat, ugly, unfunny and spend all of your time playing a 20 year old mmo. How do you have that much confidence you think young 20 something 7-8 out of 10s want you like that with zero motive or effort

>>1868977
Its like when i watched to catch a predator. You’re a balding 38 year old, overweight man talking about how your dick is small but you know how to please.
How did you really believe you were the dream guy for some 15 year old virgin?
????
Is it just not being self aware?

>>1868966
I think sheep had the hp pool of almost 5 bis galka monks on launch. Now its just almost 2 bis galka monks worth of hp. Who the fuck did the balancing of horizon?

>>1868966
iirc pets weren't scaling for bcnms either, so if you were level 75 your pet would be level 75 in the bcnm. amazing stuff.

>>1868969
Deserved what?

>>1869575
His trophy for being a cool dude that everyone likes

You must feel so good talking about and ruining other people's lives and relationships over ff11 nice work!

>>1868969
is anyone gonna elaborate on this e-celeb drama or what? what's the tldr

why does anon keep saying cheating/cheater like it's some kind of insult? it's based

>>1870043
It's not cheating if you breakup with one right before you fuck the other anyway.

Nigger that guy ruined his own life when he decided to cheat on his wife with a man. The same thing happens when another staff member also chose to cheat on his wife, and history will repeat itself when someone else does it. No one told them to cheat, THEY have the full responsibility of keeping their bits in their pants.
