Final Fantasy XI Then...

[Daragon]

Possibly a pricing error I'd imagine. Do play have a habit of honoring price errors?

Certainly worth picking up at that price tho, ToAU alone would probably set me back that much from the US.

[Darwock]

Maybe they're not anticipating a huge volume of sales based on the beta (every forum I looked at was full of people moaning about how crap it was)

[Daragon]

Everywhere else has it listed at ?40 though - obviously the price given by the supplier. Not sure play could justify such a loss. There are far worse games out on the 360 that are still premium price.

Besides, much of the negativity surrounding the 360 version was that it was missing some of the promised graphical enhancements. What I'm guessing some people failed to realise is that betas are unfinished games by design. I have every confidence that these features will appear in retail.

Gameplay has it for the same price

Game has it for ?30

So looks like its going to be cheap! Im gonna pick it up instore at game on release and use my ?15 reward points that they owe me from buyin a 360. Happy Days!

[Daragon]

I just hope they have the Vsync sorted, thats all I really care about...

Well another KSNM30 done and more watching other people get rich while I get total rubbish.

Thats the last BCNM/KSNM I do with your orb your drops.

I spoke to Apathye and we are thinking about doing this Scorpion KSNM with even share of all drops, we were hoping Daragon and Elite would be interested? if you are let us know. Its a 30 KS Orb.

In the run I did tonight we got around 26Million Gil, unfortunately 95% of that gil went to just two of the members.

The time before I got 900k while others got 7mil drops, in total at least the same as tonights with all orbs.

Basically it seems to be great or rubbish, one or the other but over 5 or 6 orbs usually gets quite alot, so even share looks good.

Let me know if you have Blm and maybe Rdm around 70+ and want to join.

[Daragon]

I'd certainly be up for a KSNM (never done one before, whats the difference?) I got 55 seals laughing at me from my mog safe

Whichever day is good with me - if I'm not at my PC, I'll most likely be on the 360, so drop me a message if you need to get in touch with me.

Edit - oh wait, KSNM doesn't stand for Kindred seal NM does it? I only got 10 of those atm

[Tsingtao]

Does the KSNM 30 require a tank, Ihave the seals if you need one or is it a pure manaburn affair?

I may know a couple of folks that might be interested depends on the party make up really.

Gained my first new level on black mage in a long time last night, after finding myself back out at the valley of sorrows. I thought it was going to be an awful experience after the first couple of fights, the party leader was incredibly bossy and not particularly considerate of things such as MP supply. When the first mob we were fighting was at 60% HP he shouted "BLM KKILL!!!", then 3 seconds later "kill it so we can SC on the next one!" then after another 3 seconds "kill it won't you??". It's like he wanted me to solo the bloomin things! He also never paused for breath between pulls, regardless of the condition of the mages (and we didn't have refresh)... it was my first party wearing the duende cotehardie and I can only assume it was kicking in fairly often because I was more or less able to cope with the pace. The ironic thing is he'd tried to tell me "/smn no thanks" back in Jeuno until I replied that he could stick his invite... so he actually wanted me to go with *less* mp! ><

Oh yeah forgot the good part, we earned around 8000xp in under 2 hours, not sure of the exact time. Was my first time using my decent equipment as well, I was able to do 100 points of damage more on a MB than last time I was there.

[mikewl]

Its a manaburn one, its the fastest BCNM type battle I have done, BLM all time thier spells, brd then sleeps everything, blms go again and its over, so quick to beat.

But saying that you only need 3 or 4 Blms, someone to sleep and thats it.

First time I did it we had a Mnk come along using an orb, all he did was watch.

So if there is a space bringing someone extra for an extra orb should be cool.

If its all timed well then its the easiest BCNM I have done.

Dara yes it isa KS one.

Oh what a clown! this happens all the time, I was in a pty not long ago where I was levelling whm and they just kept pulling with no break, to be honest its not how I like to play if it become too much of a chore to party then I'd rather leave. As for not having more magic O.o he's a bit of a thicko eh?

& at ff11 on 360 for ?25 well at that price I cant say no, cant hurt to have 2 copies (but I think I'll hang on for a first play to see if it any shinier)

[Darwock]

Well it is important to keep things ticking over, but when your white mage is saying they've got nothing to heal people with it does help if the puller is actually listening!

[Apathye]

Wedge and dara, bare n mind if we go dara will need firagaIII atleast, i think thats level 73, so we will have to wait alittle while first.

[Daragon]

Hopefully I should have the seals I need before I hit 73.

Just passed the halfway to 70 mark in last night's party - going to need to start thinking about getting my testimony and then proceeding to kick some old guy ass.

You got any tips, Apathye?

[Apathye]

Well if you dont ahve tor testi yet id suggest going to Monstic Cavern (sp) you can farmone there, also WaterIV drops off the same mobs there so you can kill two birds with one stone (WaterIV is a useless but expsensive spell, or was lol)

Ive got a great tactic at home also for beating maat ill make sure to get it to ya later when i can.
