How Nynja thinks he is evading:



How he is actually evading:

It's okay Panta, I'll still take you walkies. No punting promise. I only hurt non-animals.

When I see someone that cant be bothered to push to ML20, which is a paltry 5 hours of EP grinding, im gonna presume theyre just a shitty lazy player ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I found secret footage of Afania "dog-sitting" Panta.

Triboulex is the next easiest boss to tackle, IMO. Increase your dps and zerg is easy-ish.

Kiting is possible but it won't stop STS. Need to kill within 1-2min (too many debuffs will tank dps).

Someone needs to make a brd, even bonanza horn will do.

Just when you thought it could not get more cringe.. the achchyually comes out.

This is a social problem, not a technical problem. You're talking about reputation. You can be a good person who plays poorly. You can play great but be an ***. You can be good at one job and crap at another. You can rip people off and jump servers and change names/races so no one will ever know.

The answer to tracking competence is through experience and maintaining relationships.

Don't you think assumptions on someone's ML are a bit presumptuous?

Maybe that's an Asura thing, RMT-bought MLs are not a thing on small servers. Not that anyone high ML got them legit, but they are also not able to pay RMT for it.

OTOH someone that "disappears" for a week then reappears with sudden Bumba V20 clears is a massive red flag to me.

Back in the old days (he says as his knees crumble to dust... while seated) we had a thing called reputation. This arose because we had to play the game together to accomplish anything, including getting exp (on most jobs). You knew who was good by running into them in exp parties or events and consistently seeing them make good decisions and get good results. Or you knew about them through others' recommendations.

I don't think there will be any non-spoofable signal of a player's quality in today's post-social version of FFXI. It was even somewhat spoofable in the old days: get people to like you by being funny/fun to play with and then join a prestigious linkshell; others would assume you were a player on the level of that LS.

Since we are playing in a mostly post-reputational era of the game, I'm wondering if we don't have much use for this information anymore. The lack of reputational feedback mechanisms may speak to the lack of a need for reputational feedback mechanisms.

My misfit DNCtank/THF/COR/RDM/SCH/SMN group has made some headway into sortie after returning over the summer, we've progressed from "what is obdella" to at least regularly taking down Dhartok (albeit slowly) and getting the better part of 20k galli in a run. Feels like progressing further is a real leap for us though. Unfortunately we are not very comp-flexible [yet? hopefully yet and not just full-stop lol.] and our lack of good Light SC options doesn't help either.

I think we could definitely kill Skomora (likely requiring Perfect Defense) but that we aren't even close to the DPS needed to manage Triboulex. Leshonn/Gartell sound not impossible and suit our strengths of Darkness SC > MB but I think I'd have to swap from DNC to PLD which would be a substantial reduction in our damage. We do not have Basement H access and I have a hunch we have no business trying Degei/Aita anyway.

Any thoughts on what we could try to do to handle another basement boss? Or maybe just pull more galli out of what we're able to do already? Unfortunately we also aren't great at the mini-naakuals so basement coffers are dicey as well. I'm wondering if maybe Skomora/Triboulex can be gravity'd to outrange STS? Or perhaps I could try DNC on Leshonn while single wielding to limit Counter? Thanks for any ideas.

And if the real answer is 'change the comp' or 'get good and do more damage' then I totally understand lol.

I'd join, I need Zerde and Erin to finish shield, new transfer from Quetz here

Load up with copper vouchers!

Dogshit, but still better than 0/1000 at 4/5

I spent an embarrassing amount of time getting Light Resistance on a Hades Earring +1 for the past few weeks. I'd say it's 99.99999% abandonware now unless you like building niche sets like me.

I think Thorny has proven that he is well capable of based reasoning, that's why his financial bias becomes so much more apparent when he starts taking sides for something like EP loss.

I instantly believe that you're the type of guy to bug others to come raise you in 2025. "/t Joe hey Joe, I know you only got like 2 hours of free time at the weekends but I had a little fuggy wuggy with my super buffed multibox over in limbus, would you mind?"

The climate also has changed. If you're solo and don't want to bug anyone you could lie dead for the full 60 minutes in the most crowded places, Kamihr Drifts Bivouac #4 or rabao, without receiving a single R1.

Aren't you the guy who went 8 final stage crafting shields deep into pay2win?

All I've learned is that my odyssey solo chest popping THF isn't going to ding ML50 any time soon.

That's funny because when I see someone with ML50 I tend to assume they have no idea how to play the game.

This hat would be a giant red flag to stay away from said player.

Just throwing in my 2 cents that magic accuracy does indeed matter a lot on SCH. I noticed this when I swapped from Bunzi+Ammurapi to Opashoro+Enki. I started getting resisted significantly more, both in V25s and in Sortie, and actually ended up settling on Opashoro+Khonsu because that ~15 magic accuracy made a difference. That's with a 277 skill / 35 macc staff which is likely comparable to the 255/55 you get on Mpaca and superior to what you get on Marin.

So while I haven't tested the 2 staves in question, I suspect what Dodik said is right on the money.

Maat hat.

I've been making fun of you for months though.

I would re-introduce sub-less/trust-less fights for every job, similar to the RUN + GEO empyrean 135 quests where you had to kill NM solo for mats.

RUN Empy fight

GEO empy fight

These fights aren't hard now, but were kind of challenging at the time when they were new. At least for the RUN fight, you had to know which elements were strong and weak vs what, and the days of the VanaDiel week. You also needed to properly time abilities like Liement, Battuta, and One For All to properly negate (and even heal) oncoming damage. GEO was a basic grav kite and nuke (but still engaging for the time).

Something kind of like Shattering Stars Matt/Balrahn/Pulling The Srings ENM solo fights, but updated to ilvl, with a sliding scale similar to Odyssey Veng fights (V+0 = CL119, v+25 ~CL145), so players can challenge themselves. Reward a trophy, title, visible glow, or an additional tier of merits or job point accessibility based on how high of a level you can clear. Or a unique job-item, similar to "Pulling The Strings" rewards. Track progress on leaderboards, similar to Ballista and VanaBout rankings so people can compete with others for clear times. I think it would be a cool way for players to improve their skills on a particular job by fighting against a mannequin that you need to outwit, and use your job knowledge to overcome. Make it repeatable with no EP loss so players don't feel discouraged for losing, and allow other players to be able to watch the fights live (The Pit/Colosseum is a great place for it).

The catch is you'd have to do the fight solo in a public area just like the RUN/GEO quests (but without a sub, allow meds), not in an instanced zone, so you'd have a bit more pressure on you, but also people cheering you on and able to watch your strategy and see what works/doesn't work. Make the requirements for winning different based on the job (i.e. PLD might need to survive a certain period of time, DD has to kill, WHM has to heal a certain amount of HP within a period of time, etc).

Making fun of a dog with disabilities is a new low in human history

I think the last ban wave got Rady and Alfania.

Now only Nynja is left.

We need to join forces and send him to where his friends are!

Golden fist
Seems to be the trigger for auras?

Anyone know why my ls members are reporting that they are being decimated by head snatch?
I don't seem have an issue
