The gearing/leveling phase is the most fun part because there's always something to look forward to, then once you're geared you can repeat that phase on another job or get sucked into the end game and stand around for hours waiting for HNMs to spawn or the instance for end game content to empty so you can take your turn.
It's really easy to get back into the honeymoon phase whenever a new server releases, imo.

Those people all worked on Horizon before and hate one another. They only came together because their hatred of Aerec is stronger, But eventually the petty fighting will continue like when a certain dev throws melties people can only take so much of it.

it's been 3 years of cop, without even having av to farm. so yes.
the game is the most fun when everyone is at an even playing field and people have shit gear as well. you're using airships, you're using chocobos, you're getting excited at the conquest results enabling new warps for you, you're having to try harder while playing because everyone isn't super overgeared with /nin subs, etc.
>>
>>2319983
Okay have fun redoing the same shit on Phoenix brother. I on the other hand will not be reinvesting countless hours doing the same thing again and again.
Wake me up when a 75 cap server has actual original content.
>>
>>
>>2319713
I wish phoenix was the progressive server rather than zenith. It's much more unique to start at base game no expansions and progress through zilart cop toau etc.
Yes I know that's what zenith is but I don't trust their devs and usage of ai to deliver a good server
>>

Anyone still playing on horizon is just coping until year 6 with TOAU happens very soon and another server comes along that actually receives updates. Anyone with a brain quit years ago when they saw Aerec was massively incompetent.

these people don't understand that games like these are meant to be played casually, including the endgame. back in the day hardly anyone did that stuff and now it has become an autistic sweatfest that it was never meant to be.

Fafnir was never instanced you LARPing retard. But SE did eventually fix their fuck ups and make them all pop items. Huh... it's almost like the developer realized their mistake and corrected it....
Fuck off Aerec. No one wants to camp your faggy NMs.
>>
>>2320667
I never said it was. I was implying that you would love that because that's the only way you'd get a sniff of dragussy.
Camping Fafnir is/was/will always be optional, fag. Life itself is a competition, you had better get used to it.
>>
>>
>>2320697
When the alternative is camping fafnir every day at all hours of the day for 6-12 months (if not more) of your life, then yes, it is an extremely better alternative. Are you stupid or just unemployed with zero responsibilities of any kind? I assume the latter
>>
>>2320699
Nigger how does farming 99 kindred seals sound better to you than idling at a camp when you have the spare time? You're swapping being semi afk for having to mindlessly get a seal to drop every 5 minutes.
>This game should value my time, I'm employed, I have 14 children to look after, Fafnir should be instanced content, my relic weapon should come when I hit rank 10 with my nation.
This MMO is not made for you.

according to evidence reason and logic, feel free to keep pretending otherwise though.
end game like this was side content that few ever bothered with. the only reason "classic" players are obsessed with it is because they never did it back in the day, for good reasons though it seems they have forgotten.

Funnily enough this seems to be the situation of every HNM camper. Somehow they always find the time to camp each window (on top of doing dyna and daily events of course!). I wonder how they do it

Because most of them are degenerate addicts who will come to these boards and defend their decisions. While they write a post about here about how camping Fafnifr at 2 am for 3 hours is GOOD ACTUALLY, their child probably screams hungry and neglected. It is always the same kind of people.

I should clarify, popped HNMs.
The end result compromise was supposed to be HENM with slightly worse/sidegrade versions of stuff from HNMs but horizon failed to deliver that from having a toxic retard at the top that caused all the real devs to quit.

The Horizon era+ HNM system is to blame for the over recruitment, you needed a bunch of people to cover a bunch of spots over a bunch of zones. I'm not sure if that's been addressed since I stopped playing but you basically needed massive linkshells to cover the spawn locations across several zones, although extra claim lottery entries never hurts regardless but having the spawns spread out really does funnel everyone into mega linkshells.

It's interesting the cope people come up with about how camping kings is better than actual content. Guess you have to delude yourself into thinking that because you have no other content on Horizon.

So If I wanted to start this game fresh coming from xiv (I dont like how mod focused the games community has become) what would I play on? Do I get steam or do I get the square version? is there glamour or do I rock out outfits for casual stuff and for gaming stuff and more importantly how autistic is jobs in this game? I do love grinding autistically.

To answer about glamours: FFXI has a thing called "Style Lock" where the only thing you need is the item itself and the ability to wear it- for example say you have platemail armor at LV40 and it requires the WAR/DRK/PLD class. As long as you have a class among WAR/DRK/PLD at LV40, you can "equip" it into your style lock set (like a macro/equipment set) and your model will appear as if you're wearing it. It's ahead of WoW somewhat in that you can wear class-specific equipment this way.
Like if you really like the RDM hat and want to wear it while you are playing another class, as long as you can wear it on RDM, you can put it in your style lock.

It's because gaming is fucking gay and like politics now. Everybody thinks they're fighting some faggy gamer war. My server vs. your server. Barely anyone plays this game, who fucking cares what server exists or doesn't and where people play.
But instead these retards are physically 40 and mentally 12 still camping fafnir and bickering about which server is less gay/pozzed.
No one cares. Stop flooding these boards with Jerry Springer tier garbage. Talk about the fucking game or shut the fuck up. No one cares about your e celebrity boogeymen.

Phoenix Server is growing in popularity and server progress. Woman hand's bottom line gets threatened. Woman hands has been pre-banned from Phoenix server. Woman hands is upset that it will not be able to feed off of the attention banquet of Phoenix once it becomes highly popular. This makes womanhands angry causing woman hands to frequent 4chan and pottymouth the honest devs of Phoenix. Would love to talk more about the game but woman hands will get angry when woman hands knows they can't be involved with the fun everyone else is having without them.

i played through to end game on horizon with no add-ons. it's a lot more fun that way. but in end game you have to use a few addons though because the entire game is swapping your gear out for optimal stats on every action. you might have a few baby ragers but just play with cool people and explain you are trying to experience the game as intended and you won't have issues.
if you play retail none of that matters because you will be playing completely alone and everyone else will be scripting 18 accounts simultaneously

That's my experiencing from being in a HNMLS shell where people are waking up in the middle of the night because the LS claimed Tiamat and showing up at 4AM camps because they're next up for an item and if they don't show up, they'll lose their spot. Old school FFXI is a game that demands your life if you want to do the end game.

Vana'diel dictates when you can play. It's inherently different from any newer instance base game where you can play whenever.

It's much slower than current retail. You're probably looking at 2 weeks if you no life it. Maybe more if you're not willing to make your own groups because your gear will be so far behind everyone else unless you play bard.
>>
>>
>>
>>
>>2334537
it took me 1 year of casual leveling to hit max level on a mediocre geared subpar dps class. and that's fine, because that's the game. this isn't world of warcraft where you are racing to the endgame parts because that's the actual game. the game of ffxi is leveling and gearing. all endgame content is just doing mostly the same shit for gear, sometimes running, sometimes under time limits, sometimes it's a boss fight. but it's all optional regardless

What a dishonest take, I played the game in 04-10. Sky, sea, ToAU, these things are part of the story and quests. You did do endgame right? You're speaking from experience or what? Saying it takes hours daily too, and leveling took minutes once a week? Organized end game LS events were less of an investment than taking a year to level a job. Leveling other jobs was the time sink. Once many people got to end game they stuck to that job because of how much more effort it took to level. Generally less fun too, endgame you actually go to play your job.
>>

>>2337263
Walking away from Aerec after his incompetence is causing year 4 of no TOAU is the smart move. You can’t fix retardation.
So… every former horizon admin is now a Phoenix admin without Aerec…. I’m noticing a pattern.

My studies show Phoenix has to go closed-source until a later date or Horizon will ride there coattails and contribute nothing in return. Aerec was over the moon about Einherjar and Ballista when Eden was keen on going open-source.

The world is on fire and filled with real problems but the thing that is occupying your mind is speculation over xxxSephirotzx is cheating on his wife or whether the shitty broken private server you're playing on has code written by AI as if there is anything made from this day forward that won't.

That was the point originally. But they realized that even after the rebase, things change so quickly on LSB that maintaining their custom code and keeping up with LSB was not possible.
So the rebase brought them up to LSB as of a few months ago, then they hard forked. So as LSB continues to change, they can no longer take things from LSB. Basically, they updated to the most recent version to get 3 years worth of updates, but now they are no longer going to be keeping up with LSB. They cannot take new LSB content and fixes without spending tons of time updating their code make it not break. As time goes on they will drift further and further from LSB and they will never be able to take updates from LSB ever again.
>>
>>
>>2356686
They'll never admit they've hard forked again because players would be pissed hearing they spent all that time on the rebase for it to be for nothing in the long run.
They'll still be able to cherry-pick individual things like battlefields and missions. But that won't stay the case in the long run the more LSB progresses.
