SNAGIT Folder: The Second Clearing - Final Fantasy XI :: Dreams in Vana'diel :: Community

DakAttack · 03-27-2007, 04:45 AM

It's time again to clear out the Snagit folder, so here are today's top picks.

Not all of these are of FFXI.

Me looking sexy.

Rocking out in the year 2142.

WoW's strange art direction.

A guy rubbing two fish together over another fish.

"Oh, How I Hate the Xenobs" Part One

"Oh, How I Hate the Xenobs" Part Two

Break for Engrish.

PvP in WoW.

More PvP in WoW with an emphasis on 'wtf?'.

A man brushing his teeth with a sword.

That's all!

Reminds me of a DRK I had in garlaige once. At the gate, one of his macros was really bizarre.

Was like "ANGRY WIFE!!!" or "ATTACK WIFE!!!" or something, followed by a bunch of squiggles and his WS or JA or whatever it was he was doing.

Do you play WOW and FFXI on the same comp?

Murphie · 03-27-2007, 05:18 AM

Man, I hate WoW's default UI.

Yes, though I can not play them at the same time.

Murphie · 03-27-2007, 12:16 PM

Same. They don't play well together.

Should've met up with Sarlos at fan fest, taken one of his tablets, and used it to play WoW.

The reason for my asking is that your FFXI screens look a lot nicer than mine do. I have a crappy vid card. Your WOW screens looked bad compared to your FFXI and I can imagine how bad that game would look on my comp.

Ha, my graphics in WoW are maxed out. The problem isn't so much the graphics, but the style. Too few polygons, and the textures are too simple and oversized. They've added a lot of uneccessary shine to the game that more advanced graphics cards can take advantage of, but it doesn't really mask the ugly face of it all. I'm sure they did this to cut back on graphical lag, something FFXI does suffer from time to time.

Man I would examine the hell out of the Xenobs

Murphie · 03-27-2007, 01:16 PM

It's not all bad (WoW's look, that is). I happen to love the way my Blood Elves look, but it IS a completely different style, and has a much lower polygon count. Still, the game looks much better in motion than it does in most screenshots.

DakAttack · 03-27-2007, 02:19 PM

The expansion content does look a little better, but meh.

Akashimo · 03-27-2007, 03:23 PM

Damn >_>; I'm tempted to go buy the expansion and grind to 70 on blood elf just from that screen shot..... side note.... wheres some cool UI's apps/mods i can find? o.O Any to make it 'look' like ffxi's(including keybindings)? <.< >.> <.< >.>

The UI is pretty simple, not sure why others really want to change it. For some it looks like they've chosen one that makes things messier and more complicated, but others choose some that assist in their raiding duties. Useless mostly.

I use Titanmod for Stancesets and the Location.

Murphie · 03-28-2007, 01:33 PM

I like my WoW UI to be as minimal as possible. I do everything via key binds, so I don't need a thousand buttons clogging up my screen. I know some folks operate via mouse clicks, so they need the exact opposite.

I just happen to find the default UI artwork to be bland and uninspired. I know not everyone feels that way though, which is why it's no nice that we can choose.

Lately I've been attracted to some of the minimal layouts made with Discord mods, but I am sticking with my Mirage compilation for a while longer, I think. I don't like the way the discord folks always seem to float everything in the middle of the screen.
