    I?m ready anytime for the Attohawa Chasm bit, I have complete the map part as well so I have double reason for going. As for the O.hat tell me when you plan to do it and I?ll be there to fight.

    Comment


      Right had a think and I'm going to do the attohwa chasm part tonight. Before I go for the NM though I'm going to do the map fight as well, any help would be helpful as I think I may take a kcking if I go alone. Right now I'm sat in windurst and have done all the CoP cuts there and have opened the map quest.

      Does anyone else need the map and want to come along?

      If everyone happy with Iceze replacing Talizker I'll speak to Iceze tonight.

        I can be on any evening for events but will need it posting on here to make sure I know about it.

        As for my plans, I don't really have any apart from missions.

        I probably wont be on much this week, bought alot of pc games lately which I want to stick with before they just end up on the shelves.

          I did some cutscenes in Windurst for the CoP thing - I presume these will lead me to the same fight you're heading off to? (still got one or more to go). But Tobal said you'd already fought one NM, so I can't be at the same stage surely.

            Yup beat easily the NM for the sandy leg with Tobal there, I have a feeling if Hic and I had gone alone we may have been handed our butts on a plate. This one is meant to be much softer though, what I need help with mostly is the fight for getting the map for the zone we're heading into.

            Hope is to get things set and look at doing 3-5 (Darkness Named) at the weekend or next week. After that it's time for a break and getting on with those Zilarts, you still up for that D?

            Wedge Plan is for tonight to finish off all the outstanding cuts before the next BC.

              Thanks to everyone for your kind comments. WoW isn't actually the reason for my decission although I am playing it. I think it mainly comes down to time and my work/family comitments. We are incredibly busy at work at the moment and I am working 7.30am until gone 6pm every day as well as doing the family thing and it was becoming too much to fit FFXI in as well. In the last few weeks I tried cutting down my playing hours but it wasn't the same - in fact I wasn't really enjoying it. The realisation is that I need to put a lot of time into FFXI to enjoy it (as I have been for the last 14 months) and without doing this I will likely get to the stage where I don't want to play it as i'm not enjoying it. I do so much want to play and enjoy it but at this stage both my family and business must take priority so canceling my Content ID is the only option I could come up with.

              It's no secret i've been wanting to do the COP / Zilart missions for months and i'm so disappointed that this has all happened now. This coupled with the friends I have have has meant that not only was it a difficult decission to make in the first place, but also one that so far, I keep questioning...

                Mate, remember that all that has happened with cancelling Content ID is that S-E will stop charging you on a monthly basis. Your RDM is still being stored on the servers and as long as you haven?t cancelled your POL account (which is free anyway) you will have no problems getting back in if you wish to.

                It used to be that S-E would only hold your account for 3 months but I think now it goes up to 12 months so you have time should you have a change of heart.

                What I will say from experience is that no one should be playing this game if they are not enjoying it as that is surely the whole point. But at the same time, I know that a bit of time away can do wonders for your motivation if you choose to return. Perhaps a substantial break is just what you need?

                    Tsing will send you one in a bit, could be a couple of hours 'cause he's not in a town right now. We'll ask around in the meantime, see if anyone else can get you one quicker.

                      Im sad to see you go dude, might still see you on WoW sometime though

                      I think you made the right choice though considering your situation at the moment, a game like FFXI is so demanding and is just too much when life is busy.

                      At least you have the option to come back sometime if you feel like it.

                      I always think one of the things that keeps me going on it is the fact that I have to subscribe to play, I cant just save it onto a memory card and boot the game up when I feel like just entering the vanadiel world, without subscription you cant even get in the game, makes it harder to stop.

                      Its mostly the people though, back when our Linkshell was almost empty and was just me and Tobal remaining I was close to packing the game in then, we stuck it out though and somehow the Linkshell got going again and it all picked up.

                      One thing I will say is, dont delete your character properly because it will just mess with your head, taking away the option of returning and going back to your character is hard, just knowing how much time you put into it all

                        Erm wow!

                          Looks nice that does though I see they've kept it that you can't get out the sky rat if you sub DRG. About time the poor guys received something they've taken quite a tarring in recent years.

                          Have to say I'm quite fancying a play at this as well, probably the job I enjoyed most at level 1 - 10.

                            Holy crap thats seems like a total revamp for them, Wyvern every 20 mins will help against those evil mob AoE's in the 60's onwards, a new 2hr! It would be nice if they change the Ninja?s 2hr, making so the less the HP for the damaging it is to the enemy, so getting your HP into the 50hp range would do 600/700 damage.

                            And I never really thought about this before, 2hr?s in missions? when it comes down to it, plans for ENM and Bcnm are to try to win without using them specially when there run of 3-6 of them, out of practically for doing one after the one as the player base now expects it. I don?t we try doing 2 a day, for a week with a 2hour gap for recharge on Bcnm60 would practical guarantee fights in out favour, using all 6 2hr?s.

                            For example that Fomor bcnm60 we did, beating the BLM before the other 3 Fomor?s woke was the key to victory, if the 2 DD in a ideal setup spend there 2hrs(as a sam 5ws guaranteed) would wipe the first fomor out in 10 secs. Maybe we should change the way we play them as none of us are hasty people(certainly proved by how we go about things ;P )

                              Its about time Dragoon had their 2H changed - it was the Wyvern that made the job truly unique - having call Wyvern as the 2H would be no different to giving BSTs the ability to charm once every 2 hours or a black mage able to spell cast once every 2 hours (a little extreme but the point remains the same).

                              If a black mage can't spell cast, he's gimped - if a dragoon can't call wyvern, he's gimped.....

                                I know nothing about the Dragoon job, are the Wyverns powerful? I can't recall them ever making a difference in parties (I only ever noticed that they seem to miss an awful lot)... but I assume the Dragoon himself taking on the Wyverns strength as a 2hr means that they are capable of kicking serious ass?
