Cross-Server Invites

[Zumi]

Only in FFXI would people actually argue against a feature that is pretty much standard in every other MMO. I mean seriously it only makes creating a party easier. The ability to invite your party members no matter where they are should of been in the game from the start.

People do not read /seacom and still send blind invites. The occurrences are even more so after the merge of servers. It becomes frustrating having to /decline each one but that is a risk you take while in the cities trying to set stuff up. Why allow people to frustrate you from beyond the city with blind invites because they can't or don't take the time to read a /seacom?

World Server Invites? <Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass.>

You sir are the most unluckiest man alive. Blind invites? What is this....2005? I haven't gotten a blind invite in years. Either way it's going to continue to happen to you, I see little logic in your anti-server-wide party invite argument.

Because cheaters will abuse it in combination with nexus cape.

wow rog thats plain stupid an item that has a 20 hour cool down is abusable? go troll another thread

Yes, very unlucky indeed. If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.

Ever since the merger I thought I was trapped in 2005 with the blind invites becoming retro. If it is going to continue to happen then at least it will only happen while in the major City and I assume that risk while being there. There is no need to allow people that can't read, or choose not to, the ability to send a blind invite server wide. You don't have to see my logic as I do not have to see yours. You are for it, I am against it. That is all.

Rog you are really the worst troll on these forums. Frankly, the nexus cape is almost useless without being able to join party anywhere (Other games have features like this where you can be summoned to your party- What makes it so wrong or abuseable here). Think of all the things that will be made simpler. No need to gather in one place before events, especially for abyssea with all the NPCs to access it in different locations. Being able to quickly get to your party once in a day is not abuseable in any way shape or form.

You really seem like a killjoy/killer of any good ideas.

The places you can go with the Nexus Cape is pretty limited

See the above link for the list. Anyway that's the point of the nexus cape is to get to where your party leader is. I mainly use it for when someone wants help with like a quest or dynamis or something. I'll be like invite me in jeuno tell me when you get there ill use my cape.

Great, the cheaters win again.

Cheating...how?

People who have Nexus Capes are likely people who already have little difficulty travelling around Vana'Diel, particularly now that you can teleport to Cavernous Maws. Say I'm in Jeuno and get a dunes invite, Nexus would be a waste: Teleport Abyssea-MisCoast and I'm there. I'm in Xarcabard and I get an invite in Wajoam Woodlands, if I was sensible I'd have a Warp-Scroll on me and have my HP set to Jeuno, if no scroll, I can death warp. I can then teleport from Jeuno to WG and zone into WW from the secret entrance fairly quickly. Altepa: Repat (or use a maw near a claimed OP) then OP it.

I think it's only a handful of people who don't get their Nexus cape until they're in their high levels and then it's really easy to get around without it. Using a Nexus Cape would be pointless, perhaps more convenient, but with the recast on it, you might feel more inclined to reserve it if for any reason you might find it to be a lot more useful.

When it comes to running a party the only people I find are slow to get anywhere are newer players and I doubt very many newbies have Nexus Capes. I think what Netheos is suggesting is just a matter of convenience for party leaders and keeping on top of who's coming and making sure they do come. Yes, not an important feature to solve a major problem, but what's wrong with fixing something small just for the sake of convenience. Sometimes I get the feeling a lot of people out there despise change.

I disagree, Rog is the best troll on these forums. Rog can bait so many people so easily, I just sit back and /popcorn some times. This time it was shocking how effective it was and how many people took rog's statement seriously.
