Ask The FFXIAH Staff - Part 2

From the hate and contempt women have for a man for the 9 months leading up to birth..

Then just for good measure, right as the baby is coming, they really let you have it.. (No joke, lol.) Pretty sure my wife nearly broke my hand..

My sister is just about to have a kid, she's like... 8 and a half months pregnant.

Her fiancé is shitting bricks.

I'm loling seeing as he's a bodybuilder and he's actually scared of her.

I'll be no-where near that hospital at that time though, I like my sister lots... but she's kinda crazy.

It gets kinda crazy in there <_<

You can really see it in their eyes (if you doubted what they were saying) they *** hate you (at least at that time).. The only thing we can do as men is be there, because I imagine it would be much, much worse if they went through it and we weren't there.

Serious question..

Can we have signatures yet? ; ; I want to force everyone to read what's the most important line to me currently every time I post!

I like the new rating system for forum posts where the score is kind of like a kudos or a silent agreement. So my question involves this system in another place.

Thanks to Abyssea, most of us are leveling jobs to 90 for various reasons, and sometimes those are jobs that the player never thought they'd level before the servers finally shut down. I have a handful of those jobs myself, and I can honestly say that some of these jobs use weapons and weaponskills that I have no previous experience with (example: Ninja, Katana, Blade: Jin). Of course you'll have a general idea of what gear is ideal based on the number of hits and weaponskill mods, but that doesn't answer everything without research and seeking advice from players who are considered veterans at their respective jobs.

So I've found myself using the "Item Set" search function lately, searching weaponskill gear setups that other people are using. The problem is that most weaponskill gear setups found by search are severely outdated and are generally of no use to anyone.

My thought is that it would be an extraordinary idea to add a "kudos" or "popularity" option to item sets that are public (think the buyable Moblin Maze Mongers mazes). I know this won't replace discussion threads like the wonderful "Ukko's Fury Setup" thread active in the Warrior discussion forum, but I think it would be a great reference guide to people looking for ideas without having to start a new thread (particularly if you're aiming to gear a less-used weaponskill, like "King's Justice" or "Asuran Fists").

Why did you get rid of - ratings?

Also would it ever be possible to backward engineer gear sets?

Like if we inserted the windower macros for our gearset, it would fill each slot with each item right away?

I love how 90% of the questions on this thread are random =x

I have a curiousity question for the scragg and jaerik:
Why isn't there a toggle for the profanity filter like FFXI has? There are times where I have the nephews over and i don't want them to read the junk that people post on this site while I'm browsing it (especially if there's a really profane comment on an item)

What about a way to show the augments on our equipment?

how often you refresh the Latest Screenshots section?

This would be amazing.

@Mods in general:

Is there a queue or an agenda for site bugs? I can make my inbox work "sort of" by using the inbox-s trick (thanks boss) but it still keeps the emails as "new". I understand there are hundreds of problems a day but i was just curious as to if it was "order of importance" or "chronological". Also, I would like to commend the response time on the "bugs" forum. It never ceases to amaze me.

@Anye:

Will you marry me now? We both survived the rapture intact so clearly we have nothing left to lose.

Since I'm sure these are all important issues (along with the first Q&A thread) it is hard to read through them all with the filler messages in between. Would it be possible to get the OP updated with questions asked and official responses? Maybe a separate thread stickied or something were we can just see the actual Q&As?

When my sister was in labor with my nephew she called me on her cell phone from the hospital. She seemed a bit distracted, but we were just going on about the weather and how the family was doing and this and that. Then about five minutes into the conversation, I ask what she's up to and she goes "Oh, I'm at the hospital having Keegan." O.O I hope that if I ever have a kid I'm either as tough as she is or that someone drugs me up for it as much as they drugged her up for it!

Jerks.

When reading through this baby business, my only thought was, "What about the drugs, maaannn?" Glad you mentioned it.

Slip, did your wife not take an epidural or spinal block or whatever?

When you click on the Browse feature it only shows items up to level 75. Are you planning on updating the database to show items up to 90?

http://www.ffxiah.com/search/item#adv
is what I use for items in general and it shows 76+ level items

Epidurals don't always work...

People spamming it out of spite makes it pointless.

It's in the works.

I'll admit I slack on the screenshot approval. I got used to Aly and Anye beating me to it.

I'm fairly sure that Scragg has a list of changes to make. Simple bug fixes are bumped to the top. Major code changes would be prioritized.

Right now he has a LOT on his plate.

Good idea.

I have a question related to this, unsure if it has been asked or not already.. But why are screenshots like, for example;

[img removed]

This, approved? I mean, it's just asking for trouble isn't it? Seems stupid to encourage this sorta stuff, when Player Warnings are no longer allowed. Just curious.

(Btw, I looked at that Facebook Link, and it's not even anything important, it seems more like a personal thing than anything else)

I deleted that screenshot a few minutes ago?

o_o I only turned the oven off, was I gone that long?

Link me if you see it up. Curious as to why your link didn't die when I deleted it (again).

Alright. But, going back to my original point.. Are screenshots just mass approved and then if there is something inappropriate in them, then it is deleted?

I skim through them before doing a mass approval. Obviously someone just hit the mass approve, and that one got through.

Ah, okay. I was going to ask this yesterday when you started the thread, but didn't have a decent enough example. Thanks for answering though.

Screenshots also get auto-approved if they sit up there long enough without a thumbs up or thumbs down.

In such a case, we rely on users to report them for us.

There was only one anesthesiologist at the hospital and he was in surgery at the time.. She only got it at the very end, our kid is as stubborn as I am, not only do they have to induce because he was like 2 weeks late, but she was also in labor for 27 hours.
