Cone attacks become AoE when a mob turns

[Daniel_Hatcher]

Daniel_Hatcher is one of our best trolls, he also uses multiple sock puppet accounts to like his own posts so that he feels better, as no one else would ever like what he has to say. Take a look at his post history he sits on the forum waiting for a new topic to only post the most stupid statements as the first response. He has yet to constructively contribute to the forum in any way shape or form.

The best approach when encountering this tool is to click on Report Post, and point out that he is Rude, Harassing, and being a troll.

Hopefully after enough of this his account will be banned, and if they do it right, his in game character too.

You're a funny man!

Same question to you. I've never once seen this happen in 8 years.

I question what you were doing in those 8 years, because it isn't an overly rare occurrence. You further exhibit your ignorance in your remark toward holding hate.

To be fair, who's going to highlight posts to look for signs of sarcasm? Not me.

oh really? If hate is being held properly you don't have mobs turning. If you don't have mobs turning, then you don't have this issue.

I was actually half-expecting people would go for "reply with quote," but I guess not, heh.

I know I'm coming in all tl;dr but...

How does one hold hate with a straight up zerg method? Once DD's reach the hate cap the mob will continue to turn to the last person who acted on it, no? The best thing would be to have everyone pile up on top of each other, like standing on a Wyrms feet so it's not turning. But then they all will be hit with cone attack. So by fanning out, you get mobs that turn during TP moves. Unless I'm missing something.

You clearly don't know what a zerg is. You also clearly don't know how the enmity system in FFXI works. I'd suggest you stop posting about it before you make yourself look even worse.

My god, what have I done?

Imagine a cast-iron skillet designed with sharpened edges and no handle. Imagine heating it for two hours while making an unimaginable amount of bacon cheese-burgers. Imagine holding that skillet properly.

The enmity system in Final Fantasy XI at level 99 is that cast-iron skillet. I am now too hungry to finish my metaphor, but I think I've made my point.
