Abyssea Era Ending?

And wtf are those requirements. My server only has hydra

Honestly, I have no idea, we only had Hydra too last I checked, but have won Crabs+Antlions+Slime+Hydra dozens of times. It was supposedly just "Win x number of times" but unless that number is well over9000, I think there has to be something more to it (Maybe full clear?)

I liked a lot points stated in this forum but once again like in past forums some butthurt elitists come in herecand bad mouth players saying, "oh yea all these noobs and their mother rocking AF3+2" and to u asshats i say stop with your exaggerated ***. Idk bout your servers but on Ifrit but a noob from pre abyssea is still identifiable post abyssea... the 'scrubs' u so call them are lvl 90 rocking full perle/aurore/teal gear...or the occasional perle/twilight DD. 99/100 times a person rockin af3+2 are pretty good at their job and gives players who were just aa skilled as u elitists to gear the same way. These elitists making these noob comments are old HNM leaders and sackholders who sucked their *** to get epeen gear out the *** and then leave behind the other 5-8 pearl members that put in those horrible 5 6 7 am mornings camping fafnir and have ***to show for it besides a title or random BB item.. So with that in mInd my standpoint on abyssea is pretty obvious... Im sure these examples sound like im just bitching about past personal problems.. But im sure there are many that can relate
and now stand next to *** with equal gear they deserved just as much pre abyssea

Edit: sorry for the rant, but it needs to be said.

Bulls**t. Most ppl have af3+2 items. Most have basic "blue !!" items from older zones. So easy to get them. Never was a HNM leader or sack btw and I still complain about noobs having good gear. The only skill you need is how to shout for a group.

i'd like S-E tell us they will release a new expansion pack



as we can see on this map there are a lot of areas we havent visited yet...
i'll be very happy to visit Tenzen's home land and continue the Last verse main story
id'like to see an extent on all end game contents : salvage II, new dynamis, einherjar etc

S-E has to recreate life in all the areas of the games : old vanadiel / aht urgan and past
i think lvl 30 to 75 people should not gain xp in abyssea but that's another problem ...

in my opinion SE should continue to let us obtain good gears in abyssea in the purpose to use them wisely in the "real word"

a good system would be to be able to use atma outside but only 1 time !!!
lets say you use voracious violet outside you loose the atma and have to refarm it in abyssea

ps : by the way havent you noticed atma are in the temporay item menu ?

Abyssea did make the battles of FFXI easier in a way, but not in the way you might expect.

Pre-Abyssea in stagnant FFXI, people felt no need to change their inefficient fighting methods since they'd always have bodies to throw at an NM. However, with Abyssea came a change in paradigm - suddenly lowmanning was very possible and rewarded, so people adapted their strategies. They found that PLD wasn't this essential MUST HAVE job to tank something (most people were realising this towards the end of stagnant FFXI anyway) and the potential of DD jobs as tanks. Atma etc just made these strategies more accessible.

The game didn't really get much easier - people just got better and are using better strategies.

That's not an SE map. That's a fan made map.

I dunno, I think if they see a lot of people are clamoring for a new full blown expansion they would think something. I mean they obviously look at the community sites as noted by the twitter page. The only limiting factor for them or cop-out would be the ps2 limitations! They just need to get rid of ps2 support obviously.

Again with your BS. You realize most people were already low manning in pre abyssea ffxi? You realize most people had used war or sam tanks in pre abyssea ffxi? It was already known PLD was a ***tank unless unengaged in which case RDM was normally better. So for fights like JOL mainly. The game is easier, and in the way everyone thinks... its easier.

They could just make it ps3 support like ffxiv was to be soon. I am sure a lot of those who own a ps2 own a ps3.

I own a ps2 and not a ps3

Meant only real use for pld was as unenganged tank, so for fights like JOL. Didn't say rdm was the best for those fights just that they were better, as was DRK or BLU pretty much lol.

I'd really like to see proof of PLD being such a bad tank PreAby. Aside from salvage and similar events... PLD was beast.

I mean, Nin tanks on Ixion were amazing...

oh wait

Do you have data to back this up? Or are you just assuming?
