Ballista Revolution

I just want to throw this word out there to any remaining or new Ballista players so that they can be better informed of the current situation.

I'm hoping to get a community established on the test server for those that can't server hop to Carbuncle, Phoenix or Lakshmi(I don't have an applicable link here - but it's a server known for 99 cap Official Matches now, reminiscent of old Fenrir.)

For those really dedicated, we run a LS that focuses on playing with JP players in the diorama.

It has come to our attention that some players may view this website or our videos but never come forward and present themselves. Even several of our current members admit that they were shy and hesitant before introducing themselves to us. As the group leader, I really want to make it clear that we want you to come play Ballista! Even if you’ve never played a single match or don’t have any level 60 gear, it doesn’t matter. Take that first step, and I guarantee you’ll enjoy what we have to offer.

P.S. To those who may have quit FFXI or have lost interest in the grind, consider trying Ballista. With us, Ballista is a completely separate game from FFXI. The mechanics and strategies are totally different. You can have a fresh start in a whole ‘new game’, and your hard earned gil and job levels give you a nice head start!

I will supplement this thread with Ballista videos, screenshots, live streams and blog posts from our community.


I thank you all for your time and will be happy to answer any questions.

I used to Ballista everyday back in the day, I loved it! tournaments, titles, watching whm/nin rule the battlefield. I'd love nothing more then to see it revived

[Alhanelem]

I'd love to just return to when it was brand new. Some of those first matches were awesome. I think the first day on Shiva we had a couple of matches with over 100 players.

=\ Now I can shout for an hour and maybe find 2 people that want to play.

They should make a Ballista server that works similar to the test server, where you register a copy of your character's data to play that doesn't carry over to your primary character.

They'd only really need to include the Diorama zones, so you'd just log in, pick a Diorama, fight people. One of the main reasons people don't do Ballista is the lack of interest. But if there was a separate server where you can just pop in and have a match at any time, and against players from every server, there would be a lot more participation.

[Sanjuro_Asura]

I would think if they Upped the rewards both Exp and Gil and maybe add item rewards, people would do it again. GoV brought life back to some zones, so the same should hold true for ballista

[Alhanelem]

A cross-server system would make it a lot easier to pick up and play without forcing every ballista fan to dogpile onto one server. It's pretty much the primary reason I don't hook up with this, I already know people too well on one server and don't want to switch. =\

Cmon SE, give the game a little love.

A little love indeed...

I'm having issues with the link

My point was, if you search through the website for ballista specific threads, you will notice that all of them don't have one clear response.
