[dev1000] Dyanamis Maps

[Raxiaz]

Before this adjustment to Dynamis I was okay with not having a map. It made the event different, and required me to actually stick with the group. And if not, then at least stay in communication with them. The absence of a map promoted communication among players.

Now, anyone can enter Dynamis. Low man groups from all over go in, and I saw a full alliance of LS members doing Dynamis - Beaucedine the other day. But more noteworthy are the shouts for different Dynamis areas. Shout groups can go really well, or they can go really bad. Mostly due to miscommunication and a lack of understanding on a player's part.

Eliminate the possibility of miscommunication and the hassle of getting a new addition to the group inside Dynamis. Allow for players to be able to see where their party members are on the map. I know Windurst Walls, South San d'Oria, Bastok Mines, Ru'Lude Gardens, Beaucedine, Xarcabard, Valkurm, Buburimu, Qufim, and Tavnazia better than some of you know your own Mog Houses. But the position of my party is a changing dynamic throughout the event, I cannot possibly know that like I know those areas. And if I'm a new addition to the team, I'd rather not pester someone for directions on how to get to the group.

Adding maps to Dynamis is the best thing they could do since they've made it much more casual. Before their modifications it was a subtle inconvenience and just added a layer of communication that an occasional new addition to the team would have to sift through. Now, however, it is much more than occasional that a new member is added to a group.

If they had no maps for Abyssea, the same people vouching for no maps here would've vouched for maps in Abyssea. Why? To be able to find their group.

Check out the first weapon in the game (aside from those GM characters...) that features an awesome aura effect on it. What's that? You want to know how to get one of your very own!? Simple... Take down the Arch Dynamis Lord for a chance at this sweet new sword!

Holy wow, did I just see a community rep go Off Topic in a thread?

On purpose?!


Seriously though, I want that sword.

Yep, that sword will be mine o.o'
Still, all I can think about is a Great Axe with an aura now! ><; See what you've done?!
Also, where can I sign up so my Galka can be a weapon tester for these kinds of videos Camate? /Holds up his extensive weapon wielding portfolio lol That RDM wasn't swinging fast enough. >.>

actually, most weapons in WoW dont have aura/glow unless you enchant them, iirc only staves that may come with a glow.

imo the glow looks.... bad its look like avatar glow or something I don't know.

And this is why I'm of the option that nearly everyone who claims FFXI is turning into WoW has never actually played WoW.

The glows on a summoner's avatars looks fine. I've always wanted to have a similar glow on a weapon, and now we finally have one. Unfortunately, only a few jobs can use it.

Hey SE! Give us more weapons with glowing auras, please! At least one such weapon for every job! ^_^

I think you meant "opinion" and not "option," there, but I agree. Most FFXI players don't seem to have the slightest clue what WoW is like at all. They all really need to stop whining so much. Adding a few things that also happen to be in WoW doesn't make FFXI into a WoW clone. FFXI is still very unique and very different from WoW, even after all the recent changes its gone through, and adding glowing weapons doesn't change that. If you want to know what a WoW clone REALLY looks like, then look at Rift. THAT'S a real WoW clone.
