For anyone wondering this is what the new events look like

[Umichi]

you forgot steps 4 5 6 7 8

4) #$%^&*( moron pulls mobs off PLD

5) SECOND @#$%^&*( moron poisonga's all the mobs

6)THE DD @#$%^&*( morons keep killing mobs instead of the trees

7)everyone dies.

8)THE ONE WHM in the zone tries to heal/raise > dies.

9)Everyone quits.

Now, it's accurate.

<-.-;> no one knows how to lead anymore? you forget there are alot of people with far more experience in this game then most people realize. Per server even.... why do we let this form of stupidity in our game exist? because we allow it to happen... tired of something not getting done right..? Start taking charge if you think you know something someone doesn't... as long as your doing it respectfully....

I remember when FFXI was really powerful because of the community, now everyone is just focused on memememe! whatever happened to playing a game based on how someone envisioned it... not on how you feel it should be...

The only system related complaint I have is the confrontation area is so small that you have no room to spread out to try and avoid the most annoying part of a Rieve... the FPS drop. I know mine gets cut in half, and I've heard worse. It makes it rather difficult to contribute to the best of my ability with the game engine choking on a handful of players and mobs.

As for my fellow players, wasp nests are also Rieves so don't ignore those and only look for roots. Also, don't just wail on the root or nest to end the battle ASAP.

People are just so annoyed that not everything in the new zone can be zerged, but I personally love that! Not 1 job has much of an advantage over another, and all has its uses which is fantastic, because for so long all it has been is the same few jobs for everything and nothing else even considered. Also, it might be hard but firstly that's a good thing and secondly it's only been out a few days... but already I've successfully completed about 10 rieves and got 20k bayld while not even trying. It's easy if you have the right setup and strategy, a strategy that involves that wonderful thing called a tank (Yes I am very glad PLD now has a use). This expansion has brought back strategy, something that the game's been lacking for a while now and I am definitely glad to have it back.

Obviously never played pre-Abyssea... Most events had their issues like this. Deal with them, take lead, encourage someone else to lead or simply leave and find a better group/make your own. Giving up way too quickly.

[Camiie]

I'm sure once new and improved gear starts getting discovered and distributed and we unlock Ionis bonuses these Rieves will become trivial. Even Abyssea was hard at first lest people forget.

what's that supposed to mean >_> we have some killer players and teams on our server.....

it means that Shiva is a ice avatar so the world is you know cold it was a pun or a joke

I'm all for having to get back into being in groups for stuff, it's what made XI fun, the socialization and teamwork, because you know, its a MMO, not a single player game that happens to have people in it.

Wheres the "Love" button.
