Ballista Revolution

[Evviva]

This is so wrong haha. NA don't "win" at Ballista because all they want to do is kill each other (epeen etc.). This is not because they don't know how to play, but because this is all they want to do, which makes perfect sense to me. If I'm going to engage in PvP, I don't care if my team wins the match, I only care if I'm better than that other guy who might be better than me. Apparently JPs actually care about winning.

While you are correct in your interpretation of PvP; it doesn't begin to describe Ballista. The best I can tell you is that PvP is a direct antonym of Ballista.

Following is the official match listing for 3 days in advance. If you're unable to participate on the test server, I hope this schedule helps de-mystify match times.

Please do not change job mid match -or- sign-up before 18:00 to avoid unbalanced job sorting by the herald, thanks!

Please respond to this thread if possible to acknowledge your participation(or PM me) - otherwise, show up at the times listed and we'll go from there. I won't personally be able to attend every match, however the stage is set, and everyone needs to do their part~

This is the program I use regarding the official match schedule.

[Evviva]

Furthermore, I encourage everyone, irregardless of the server, to consider a Ballista match when things are slow~
Posting the new official match schedule shortly.

I am personally working on a video entry showcasing the entire process of acquiring a Ballista license.

FFXI Ballista バリスタ Lakshmi SAM POV ((FULL)) Jugner! 06/21/2012
My first official "99" cap Ballista~
I used to play uncap matches all the way up to level 90, but since then, I haven't had a chance to participate.

I fumbled with my macro so much, I wasn't even sure how to approach the mass arsenal of job abilities and weaponskills that I had at my disposal..
So as you can tell, I played my 99 samurai, as a 60 cap samurai, lol.
Adjusting to the damage parameters wasn't an issue, but as witnessed my body boost dropped incredibly fast versus the one man army DD that approached me @@; I wasn't very prepared for the match in terms of macro management, and food selection, but everything seemed to work out in the end!

This match was poised to be a 5v4, but thanks to Zahara who dropped to make it even, the match was converted into a 4v4 with 2 rooks. I'm never a fan of the 2 rook system, especially in a match of this size as it promotes tactics that I personally would never use.

I chose to exclude music from this video, let me know if this is preferred!

Enjoy~

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.

Better yet, make a server accessible from your own, this in lames terms is cross-server access(unlike registering for the test server), once your in-game and you start a quest up until you complete that curtain quest, your registered! People get online to play with others, not wait-and-see for a time to team up! That's why there's so many multiplayer games on the markets now!

I don't mind going up to and NPC (with or without a party) and checking if there's open slots for PvP(...say like at the colosseum), along as i don't have to log off and log back on somewhere else,lol! . This is good enough for me instead of all the 'other' hassle. SE plans this same very concept for FFXIV v.2.0. Hopefully it'll be a game breaking experience with the PvP everyone was dyeing for so long, with much sportsmanship and still have fun.

That would be nice..

On my server(Sylph), I'm not really sure if anyone even does Ballista. I would need to spend all day asking around. -.-

Ideally, the proposed schedule is posted to promote participation on any server.
The current active Ballista servers are Lakshmi and Carbuncle as well as the test server, Undine.
