Did they take out webchat support form ffxi page?

AzureDemon — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 14:27:51 GMT

Im having issues after reinstalling the game and I cant seem to find the webchat support.

The issue is I just reinstalled the game via steam and am using my old account. The thing is...it keeps telling me I dont have content ID!

And when I try to reactivate it it keeps giving me this error called UCS-1104, which tells me my info is wrong :S

Could anyone help me?

Is there anyway to backup or save my macros before I uninstall and reinstall?

Anyone else hating the new NMs?

Romyro — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 15:23:40 GMT

Well…title kinda explains it all. I hate these new NMs.
So far I’ve camped 2 of them hardcore this weekend

Demodont (Bat) in Outer H. Ruins
Drops a cape with Pet:Store TP+3
0/12 on this one.

“Sac?????” (Chingoe) in Graus[s] (cant remember his name)
Drops the Shiva: Mag Acc feet
0/8 on this one

couple other randoms that i helped people with (no drops)

Most of those had TH3 also...my weekend was destroyed camping these guys with no luck L

The only upside is their pop windows/conditions are nothing extreme.

How will FFXI become with real PVP contents!

wrongfeifong — Sun, 15 Nov 2009 16:01:37 GMT

I know this is pretty much going to be a dead topic or lock, but i would be nice if someone bring this up in next fanfest or something.

Since FFXIV is closing in soonish. While don't we have SE try add some real PVP element beside those "brenner and ballista" and please don't call them even pvp, no one even play them at least on my server(s). The only reason they are used are for duels.

What is the point of gearing up when there is nothing else to use it anyway, i am sure a lot people are in the same boat.

So i want to hear some ideal, at least it would be fun to see what everyone thing if FFXI have real PVP contents. For example: a battlefield where Windurst taru vs bastok Galka in a true battle with objective of siege"

The way i see it is, PVP should come in a new expansion that travel into 30 years later (and maat finally DEAD, it better be an epic one). Setting is something where country start battling for resources ... like windurst losing mana, and bastok want more mining and sandy want to prevent those two overpower. A third party of beastman will allied and attack as a third party on any places along but sometime they will make ally with some nation base on their power balance

New outpost will be player set to mine specific power resource and return to their nation for "points". players can form unions with their nation in that... etc.

There will be airship battles!!! where airship come close into each other enough to dock each other in the air!

Someone bring it up in next fanfest please, we all know they don't care about "english" inputs from these forums.

FFXI now on steam

FINAL FANTASY XI ULTIMATE COLLECTION on Steam

I currently have my game cancelled due to me taking a break but I do plan on coming back after I move which will be Feb so prolly rejoin then or March. Anyway, does anyone know about the steam version at all? I don't own shantotto add on yet, so if I bought this would that give it to my account that already exists? Also does this keep the game updated or do we have to use the normal POL method? (I guess this will be impossible to tell until there's an update)

They broke it!!!

Linney — Thu, 12 Nov 2009 18:22:59 GMT

Final fantasy XI: Continue on PC or XBOX 360

blkbrrymage — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 04:10:54 GMT

Well guys I posted on here earlier as a complete newb and to my surprised I have learned a TON in the past few days some good, some bad. But I'm definitely going to continue the game for a very long time as far as i can tell. Now another question imposes on me. I have been planning on buying an Xbox 360 for the past few months and wondering if it would be worth it to play it on the Xbox 360 due to the graphics upgrade and the use of the controller i think would make the game more easier than using the keyboard, but I could be completely wrong. Also I play for long periods of time, would the Xbox 360 have trouble with getting too hot because i have heard horror stories about that. Just let me know guys i would really love to convert just wanna know the pros and cons before i go out and drop some cash on it. Thanks in advance!

Redoing augment items

Kailea — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 05:36:38 GMT

Ok I am getting mixed info here, so I would love if someone could clear things up for me, I need to redo my augments on my helmet for DRG< and I was just wondering, where do you have to start from, once you drop your item.

Some people told me you have to start from the Beaucedine Glacier part, but I looked at Wiki and it says you just have to redo the fight (if I am reading it right)

So i'm now a Sack Holder

ShepardG — Wed, 28 Oct 2009 15:42:06 GMT

A bit of background,

I server hop'd, found a new shell, and was in there for aprox 3 months before things started to go sour.
The shell leader, basically got tired of the game and pushed it onto the back burner. Now that's fine, RL>vana'diel, but this person didn't want to admit that they were losing interest in the game, and didn't want to change any of the shells ways.

The main focus of the Shell was Events, and occasionally HNM camping, but without a bot, it was pretty pointless and not often attempted.
So the shell did all sort of events, Dynamis/ZNM/SCNM/einherjar/etc. Now for whatever reason, the shell did everything with a "merc" mentality. So if you wanted W. legs, or A Gnadbod's helm, you farmed up your 4 god seals, or you farmed up your 8 boxes and went about ...waiting...for the shell to schedule you.

Well I pushed and pushed for a points system to be introduced, and for the members that are dedicated to be rewarded not with spending their gil on buy pop items, (only to never use them) but for the shell to farm the pops, and people with points (I.E. the dedicated members who can/want to show up)be able to lot them.

Well, a point system get's instituted, and shortly there after, i'm asked to leave because "My goals aren't coenciding with the shells goals" With no further argument, I say yeah, and I'm outtie.
(Not really dramatic or anything, I didn't argue, because I wasn't happy with his leadershiping anyway)

Now a monthish goes by, and I've bounced around looking for a dedicated group of folks to do events with, because HNM camping is the stupidest aspect of this game, IMHO. It was tought though, I won't lie, I even started my own shell and 2 days into shouting for members, i get orders to baghdad ><.

So i put that on hold, and bided my time, did some assaults, pickup dynamis, merited a bunch, and then 2 days ago, The leader of my old shell announced he was quiting for good. Sold all his gear, some to members, a black thalum to me actually, and passed on leadership to one of the other dedicated members.
They immedietly invited me back, and he asked me to be a shell holder, which i was exsctatic with, as I loved the folks in the Shell and had missed the shit out of them when there was nothing going on in game.

TL;DR:

I came back, talked with the other sacks, and decided that we would not do any merc pops outside, or inside the shell, except for KS99,BS60 etc. This upset a few members, who had been collecting pop items, to eventually use to try and get some gear, and I was one of those members.

At the time, I currently have 3 Kirin sets, 22 Ghrah M Chips, 1x 3rd virtue, 6x HQ Euvhi organ, 4 tier III Zeni pops, 5 Tier II zeni pops, 4 Tier 1's, 2 KS99's, oh and a Byakko pop.
(I even said I would donate them to the shell WITHOUT getting points for them, see below)

I probably have 2-3 other items that I'm not even accounting for, but my point is that I'm not the only one in this situation. There are 3-4 other members, who have Pop items that want the shell to kill, and they get 1st choice of gear, the rest freelot...which basically puts a huge boot in the face of the points system.

We had a LS meeting in the Hostel, (Taru child costume FTW) and talked about the situation. It came to this:

-KS,BS orbs are YOYD, to be scheduled into the weekly schedule

-If you bring a pop item for the shell to use, you'll be given points for it based on difficulty to obtain:
(I.E. You get a Byakko pop, that's 1 point for the autumstone, 1 point for the Gem of the west, and 1 point for being there to help kill) (Farming points will also be awarded to members who help that person obtain pop, unless said items were bought from bazaar)
Kirin would be worth 6 points, Jailor of Love would be worth 15-20 points, Tier 1 zeni = 1, Tier II = 2 Tier 3 = 3, tier IV = 5-10points.

-Einherjar we go with another shell and team up, so it has it's own lotting system, we basically take turns on odins, using their feather mule, our feather mule, etc.

-Dynamis are open to the public with glass paid for by attendance {I.E. 500k/however many show up} for members on Wensdays Focus on Dream land rotation, 4 categories: Artifact, Artifact-1, Artifact Accesories, and 100 pieces. You chose 3 of those 4 categories : Lot 2 Win 1

Now some members are upset about this I think, especially when they have so many pop items, and have either spent alot of gil buying pops, or farmed for so long to earn the pops. I said that you could use your pops and get points for them, or you could sell them in your bazzar with no penalty, but from now on, we would be doing only points lotable items. The way a points based shell should be basically.

Please critique me, give me a different view, I'm not trying to be an ass to my shell, I just want the people that show up regularly to be able to get the items that they want, in the most fair manner possible. Thanks ahead of time ya'll ^^
