Death threats against... didn't that automatically put one on a watch list?
Ding like a POTUS

I have an idea for a thread.
Your gaming chair in 2002/03 when you started playing FFXI, and what it looks like now.
"you" in the general sense. not you, you. Draylo.

"You guys can't read! Stop having a different opinion than I do! I'll stop arguing when I feel like it! You're all sweaty nerds! I'm cool, not you! Wah!"

I'm a nerd too, but not an angry one at least. I've said it countless times, people are allowed to have their opinions. Its apparently a handful that don't want me to have mine in peace lol. Really, reading isn't hard to do, I've read most posts here and responded to them after having read them.

You guys quote too much. I just skimmed a whole page and a half and it was quote quote quote so I didn't read anything because I've already read whatever was quoted once.

What's the current topic? Gang up on Draylo because he has an opinion fueled by a decade or more in the game?

One day to get Aegis vacillations (sure in a perfect world but gonna take a week probably) and yes, 20 mil gil?... gonna be more in time opportunity cost.

I'm gonna say I didn't understand the Aegis thing when I posted earlier. Someone came at me because they were pointing out harshly that it wasn't the same model, it had a smile on its face which I didn't know. So SE put a smile on an Aegis right and delivered as a joke? That's not terrible, but it ain't good use of their admitted zero developer time.

I mean how do they come up with this stuff. They're at a meeting with like three people (the ffxi staff) and they say, well, we have inventory problems reported by players (who cares because revenue), mainframe issues because old game (no money to fix), zero marketing to gain momentum (because SE trying to kill this game since forever), how bout structural fixes to ffxi? (no way since their current coders don't want to touch ffxi spaghetti with a ten foot pole), story issues (done with story?), and they come to the decision...

Lets put a smile on an Aegis!!!

The thing is, they don't need to be so cute and frilly modern to keep us playing and paying. They should just improve and market the game.

I only quoted myself to show how many times I had to say

"its just my opinion, nobody has to be forced to adopt it and if you have a different one that's great."

Really, I came into the thread with one line of an opinion and a bunch just jumped onto it lol. Then I had to defend my original post because people kept twisting my words.

I think its why people use sock accounts, you can't have a civil discussion because each time you get into one of these debates you get people who become jaded and use the whole past against you to influence their responses. They were foaming at the mouth thinking I was on some high horse and annoyed lowly plebs would get an Aegis of their own... in 2023. Just can't make this stuff up. I had to repeat myself 10 times on what influenced my opinion and it had nothing to do with others getting a shiny nor was I making a call to action for SE to stop the release of this shield.

I think the shield is funny, I said that from the start. Only wish it didn't look almost exactly like Aegis, which is just my opinion. I would have appreciated the joke better if it was rust colored or aged somehow with the face.

I wish you'd realize that you aren't actually as slick as you think you are, and you are incapable of letting this go. Again, which is more likely, that LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE is misunderstanding you and not reading what you're saying, or that perhaps we get it, and we listed good reasons why what you think is stupid, and you're refusing to either A. accept that you are wrong or B. walk away.

Your ego is enormous. You can't let anyone think you aren't absolutely correct. And you'll go to whatever lengths you have to to try vainly to prove that to everyone else. "I had to defend my original post" is absolute ***. No one is holding your hands to the keyboard with a gun to your head going "MAKE THEM UNDERSTAND". And the sad part is, we DO understand, and we DO think you're HELP I AM TRAPPED IN 2006 PLEASE SEND A TIME MACHINE because of it.

I dare you to not reply to this, or any other post on the matter. I dare you to shut the hell up and go away. Prove me wrong. I know you can't.

Opinions are opinions, dude isn't wrong, he just feels differently. You guys are posting angrily about it and acting extremely condescending, there was nothing wrong with stating a different viewpoint in a polite manner. He's responding because you're being aggressive, not because he can't take being wrong. Get over yourself, you're not any less invested in this than he is. You were sitting at your pc at midnight on a Saturday trying to make someone else feel bad on an internet forum.

Mine wasn't about the bolded part that you added to the quote though.


But it was about this part in the same post.

What a great case study on gamers and the lack of social skills the last several pages has been.

The whole of the internet is a case study in social skills. Not just gamers.

MAYBE new weapons will be able to be agumented like SOA Skirmish weapons, the prime i mean

DEEZ NUTS!

Mine is sitting in a corner, used as a mini table

Old Weapon Cases and Old weapon Cases +1. Random augments for Random Prime weapons.

You will like it.

"Smile"? I've only seen that kinda face looking up at me, at knee length, usually about to make me feel some kind of special happy.

A topic ban here, a topic ban there.

I'm talking about getting my shoes shined man.

GOT EEEEEEEEM

Yuck. They did an update overnight. When you go to mule you'll get d/c'd.

To fix the text files in roe

Huh?

oh good it's not just me that's crashing on login then

roe text fix (and possibly enabling the may 16th moogles?) update may or may not have broken everything, who can say?

edit3: got some semi-conclusive results below, if you don't have framerate uncapped in config like a moron (like me) we're not hitting the same cause
-I will error 3001 upon zone if I have literally nothing but the "config" plugin loaded. doesn't seem to matter where I'm zoning - tested with jeuno hp and the windurst waters-sarutabaruta zone line in both directions - might matter if there's a NPC in loading range but I forget the zone line teleports that don't have goblin footprints so I can't go that deep
-not getting error with everything else loaded (and I mean everything in my addons and plugins folder no matter how sketchy or useless)



my best guess is the frame rate option, which I am testing now... nailed it
setting it to 2 or 1 on my character OR global is fine
setting it to 0 on my character, weirdly, does not crash, but also doesn't go into effect until I hit config safe
setting it globally to 0 is NOT fine and crashes on any zone line.
also I apparently had it set to 0 globally what on earth I like 60 fps not the fast-walk

so uh, don't uncap your framerate Eiryl. not that you did? I bet that's not the cause of yours. but mine was sure as hell PEBKAC.

edit: yes, I updated my files, I've been in and out of POL about ten times testing this to make sure I had clean windower boots rather than loading and then unloading a plugin juuuust in case (btw loading and unloading config on the title screen with uncapped frame rate just uncaps its frame rate forever, it doesn't seem to fix itself on the way out)

There's an update to game files, make sure you restart FFXI.

This is known behavior, having uncapped framerate during zone transitions will make the game think minutes are passing without you entering the new zone, and timeout you. This is because, as common in the ps2 era, the game timing is tied to framerate for a certain number of things, and a blackscreen can be rendered easily at 200-300 fps. If you have fps display active, you can see numbers with 3 or even 4 digits!

Do we know what they changed in the update?
