add an evaluation for hp healed by pet

[Luvbunny]

We are currently looking into creating system messages to indicate where reives are being formed.

Thank you for taking the first few steps in improving the new activities. Hopefully more updates will follow soon and making it more fun and enjoyable for all players of any levels to participate regardless of gears and skills.

- FINAL FANTASY XI
[Update Details]
The following adjustments have been made:
- Evaluation points have been adjusted for reives.
Evaluation points have increased for enhancement, healing, and magic attack spells. Evaluation points for melee attacks, which were easier to obtain, have been reduced.
?
- The message explaining that experience points and bayld were not gained due to the minimum value not being reached will no longer appear when an evaluation occurs.

Allow us to get through them if we don't have the Reive mark or make them depop for a few minutes. While the system itself isn't bad, we shouldn't have to wait for hours for people to show up to a Reive just to be able to check a ??? on the other side for a quest.

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

WOO! WOO!

How about adding a marker to the compass that indicates where reives are if you're within 500 (maybe more?) yalms of one?

I feel like we don't use the compass enough.

EDIT:

Or maybe something like Clear Abyssite? Rest and it tells you the direction/distance to a reive.

Suggestion: Use test server.

I'm never buying a product at launch with ffxi again. I will have to see in game action live first before i buy it.

Let's play what if. What if Orvail, Pak, and Thurandaut were easily able to be obtained in the first week and lots of RELEVANT basic stats that surpassed all but Neo Salvage, Nyzul, etc? What would be the reaction of those who have not gotten the expansion yet and are in the older areas? Even further if they were told that there was even MORE and BETTER gear that isn't as easy to get. What if, in week 1, a pretty large amount of players already reaped VISIBLE benefits of purchasing Adoulin? What if Reive were ready at the start? What if players would've been able to catch that mages aren't fit to revie's current state and that they weren't getting ANY points at first by utilizing the test server? What if rewards were given to players on the test servers that test EVERY job in Reive and leave feedback on amount of exp and bayld gained and the play of said job?

We put up with the mindset of "let's throw this at them and see how they like it" all last year with the content revisions. FFXIV should've shown you can't pull that mentality when releasing something people pay for.

Longer warning time before being removed from participation and/or shorter cooldown for being able to participate again.

I'm really, really, REALLY sick of getting killed for other peoples failures. Did I mention REALLY sick of it?

If you can't handle the enemies on whatever job you're on, stop F*CKING ATTACKING THEM. When you die, your mob attacks the next closest person without provocation, and probably links two more.

Now, this is usually a weakened person trying to hide on the edge of the MINISCULE battlefield, who has ZERO chance of survival, or a person trying to attack the tree with no defense gear on, resulting in being hit 1-3 times for FOUR HUNDRED DAMAGE PER ATTACK before they can even turn around and engage said monster. Resulting in their death, and the chain just goes on and on and on. Until it's a full scale wipe, and its -YOUR F*CKING FAULT-

Obviously, square has no intention of changing the way these work, (except for making it worse), so do EVERYONE a favor and come prepared to kill at least one mob when you attack it, or just don't participate, cause you're bring us all down as a whole.

When you do a coalition quest you get to vote at the end. But if you use 3 impentarus does that count as 3 votes? Or are you stuck doing them 1 by 1 and voting each time (to get max value)? Since you cant see the total votes, theres no real way to tell. Was hoping a rep would chime in'

ill repost that comment here. If you are stuck 1x1, maybe consider 3 impentaru things = 3 votes.

You and me both... a bunch of melee with zerg mentality who just ignore your shouts and go zerg for roots or running around while being pecked to death (like that would help LMAO - no one is going to heal you since mages were non existent previously). Usually they would aggro the entire area and hoping that by bringing the whole link next to the sneak/invisible BST, we gonna hop along and help them lol.
