Great Players thread.Follow

No, actually, I'm Cade.

I, like many others have stated previously, found it pretty banal just to see everybody pat their LS mates on the back in this thread.

So I decided to post my opinion on someone whom I had only partied with once, an have only briefly seen since...

Sorry if that is so hard to believe.

Hmmmm.

Dude, did we really need to bring that here?

I induct Ligro and Maluenda into the Great Players thread for:

1. Being all-around great people
2. Having great knowledge of their respective jobs
3. Helpfullness towards friends/ls

I love you guys. ; ;

XD

<,<

After reading this, I can see that it's been mislabled. this is apperently the "give your buddy a reacharound" thread not the best players thread.

Only a handfull of these people are good players, this is just one buddy deciding another needs props....

I...Love you too buddy. XD

Great to see you back, i knew the one day a week thing just wasn't gonna work lol.

Team BLM all the way!

Had a very good party in Kuftal today,

Ios - PLD. We couldnt pull hate off her, I penta'd and the THF SATA's Vipers Bite and that mob didnt budge. Big credit for that she saved us all :)

Roivas - Played as SMN main healer, did an excellent job, balenced AoE buffs with avatars and healing very well. Once did we drop to red, that was it.

Shiane - Bard. worked her cute little ass off. We were camped by a wall. So she was limited to what she could do, however we always had the right songs. Funny as hell watching her scoot back and forth all the time, she did an amazing job.

I'd just like to say thank you to Sodaru, Grunion, and Pants who just plain rock. They ripped through my AF2 NM without even breaking a sweat. Thank you all so much! 1 down, 2 to go.

I had the pleasure of spending many many hours in a party in Bibiki Bay yesterday ~ and I must say, thw bored-at-work thread's very own Otakuoni, my Sniper-rifle toting mithra freakzaoid is one of the best Red Mages I have ever partied with. Kept a great attitude and played the job extremely well.

{/blush} And the whole time I was thinking to myself "I can do better than this..." Thanks for the props, Mal; you're one of the better WHMs I've played with too... though according to you... I didn't leave you with all that much to do yesterday ^^.

Hmm, I guess I'll list some and make people feel special :p I'll list names as they come to me, but I'll prob still end up forgetting some. Most players I list I haven't actually pt'd with, but just deserve being listed for being charitable towards others even in the smallest ways.

Askew - Teh guy above me, rarely see him around in game, but played with him around ps2 launch. I think he posts on IGN more than ffxi playing XD
Comidus - Old player from the IGNation days, just pt'd with him for the first time in a while in valkurm, plays a good thf.
Blutig - Fellow Bst and a good bcnmer
Vorloxu - My brother, duo partner, bcnm partner and a very good cook.
Akumu & Mayuka - they helped me getting rank 4 and rank 5 so far, always a friendly duo.
Nephele, Xristianna, Wuushy - all helped with my first promy holla attempt. Also friendly to talk to in LS.
Fenryr - He's been around since I started playing and takes a lot of pride in his job, also helped with holla and is generally friendly to talk with in LS chat.
Kainstryder - He's also been around since ps2, has helped me with subjob items, gil, lending me his +1 axe, helped with whm AF on my first character and is friendly to talk with in LS.
Ahvmia and Willowwishes - Both whms and have generously helped me with teleports time and time again, ahvmia helped me out when I was new to the LS with one of my kazam keys.
Nightfox - also old player who quit and came back, helped with kazam keys and is friendly to talk with
Codernaut - also helped with keys when I was a newbie to WS, haven't seen him around lately though.
Arclord - helpful cook who will make whatever you need, also a fellow Bst.
Xenodan - also an old player, helped me get on my feet when I came back to ffxi and helped out with missions/AF on my first character.
Galkata - Tough lv75 PLD and fellow Bst, helped me on my 5-1 fight on first character.
Jedigamer - Don't know him really, but he did help me with my G1 on my first character and I appreciate that.
Ladybelle - Helped me get my beadeux&giddeus rank 5 stuff done even though I was clueless on a lot of it, she was very patient and helpful throughout.
Vindicator - Windshire leader and also one of the first to help me early on with the dragon fight when very few knew/acknowledged me.
Melchiah (recently retired) - The first player I knew in FFXI and he really got me into it early on in beta and ended up helping me several times for RSE and other things.
Windstormers - Haven't seen him in a while, but he's a friendly blm and helped my brother and I destroy massive amounts of quadavs in palaborough to take out our rage of losing bcnm30 several times.
Binmaru & Lyen - I don't think I've done any leveling/events with them, but they've gone out of their way to raise/teleport me a few times.
Savanna - A friendly mithra who gives cookies to tarus just for being cute and taru-like.
Darkassassin & Omgwtfjadey - Friendly players who I've played ballista with a few times, but haven't seen em in ballista lately :(.
Visera - Nice guy from casuallyinsane, leveled with him a bit early on.
Seppuku - Met him in 30/40 cap ballista, he's good to chat with and also a good ballista player.
Shogunn - Fellow Bst and friendly to talk with, has offered to help with guady harness when I need it so I'll take her up on that one of these days.
Divinius - Fellow Bst and has helped me out with teleport/raises on several occasions.
Dainslef - Because of this guy and his experienced ENM promy pt, I was finally able to complete promy holla and hopefully Mea soon.
Jordache & Psymon - both friendly Smns, I've camped one of the new NMs with Jord, he helped me on a promy run and psymon is a friendly guy and got me hooked on ballista again from early 30 cap games.
Deaconjohn - I used to fish moats with him way back when, he paid me back in full from gil I gave away a long time ago and that helped me out greatly starting a new character.
Vaseka - Also used to be a moatcarp fisher way back in the Rabao days and would just be a friendly guy to keep me company during otherwise boring fishing lol.


That's all I can remember for now. To everyone and anyone I forgot have my gratitude, hopefully I'll be high enough level to return the favors when needed.

Hey Nug :D

Yeah, unfortunately I work 40 hours aweek and play when most are sleeping ><

Ok I would just like to add a name here from this past weekend.

Metalgear - 71 White mage.

Was leveling in Labrynth of Onzozo and I didnt notice a large train of gobs go by me to zone.

Well they start coming back at me, and one at a time start attacking me. Metalgear quickly starts attacking all of them, and soon gets hate from all of them...

now an alliance of 15 gobs level 48-59 can take down a level 71 white mage.

He gave me time to zone, and then tried to get to zone himself.

Once I zoned, I tried to come back and charm tohe cockatrice that I had been fighting (very Tough) to try and help him out again, but I couldnt get charm to stick, and he ended up dieing right near the zone.

So I would just like to name him since he sacrificed the life and xp, and time to wait for a raise of his 71 white mage to save me.

From this weekend--

Mlkup -- JP DRK, doesn't speak English but a sweet person nonetheless. Picked him up as a random add to our static and he was great. Used Souleater just enough to get into the orange, then clicked it off, but only once he knew how well I could hold hate and how easily we could keep him alive. We were running out of mandies and still making 5K+/hr. We felt bad because he was the only JP in the party-- no other options available that night in Kaz-- but it didn't bother him a bit. Brought some great food and never made our WHM work harder than our MP supply could handle. Thumbs up.

Chewbacca - This guy is a great mnk. Doesn't miss a beat. He's very kind and cordial. When you're getting frustrated, he's there to put your shoulder on. 3 days of partying with him. This guy is definitely good.




Note: Most of the people I post in here are not friends when I post it. I put people that I encounter along the way as great players. These are people you need to look out for because they are what I consider great players. Many end up becoming friends because of how I feel about their playing skills.

again my name appears here =X... {/blush}. I dunno, Celd, I did manage to get a little XP in that timeframe too... though I'll probably lose it all tonight in dynamis (but hey if I can get some AFv2 its well worth it)

I would like to add my last 2 Parties to this list, some of your names Escape me, so I'm sorry if I forget you ><

Note: There may be more then 5-6 people due to Reps and stuff.

Friday (DRG 65 to 66): Kegsay, Siloh, Seyl, Darklightning, Borabora, Moongchi (sp?). Wonderful PT, ripped up Bib. Bay like there was no tomarrow. Not so wonderful EXP, but it came fast.

Saturday (DRG 66 to 67): Darkassassin, Ryumayu, Jondoe, Darklightning, Deathdealer. (Bit more people but I just can't remember atm.) Great Great PT, They all did a wonderful job, Got Nice EXP (Chain 5: 251 EXP).

These people above are what makes leveling from 65 to 67 so much fun.

A bit belated but I never am able to get on from work and when I'm home I'm usually playing ffxi rather than reading about it.

Anyway!

I completely agree with everyone who said Avhmia is an amazing whm. I met her when I was part of the static that her whm ended up joining, and after about 3 seconds of partying with her everyone was asking if we could keep her :) I wish I had the time to stay with their spt, having her as my perma-whm for my pld would have been awesome.

And yeah, she's in our ls, but I consider us lucky to have her. <3 ya Mia =)

Deleted by request =/

Lei is good.

o_o ...you can't charm cockatrice type mobs...ever, just like beastmen, malboro, diatryma etc.

Speaking of bsts..I'd also like to mention the GotJugs members, very friendly and helpful group of beastmasters, very into the bst job. I'll avoid naming names for now since for one..I dont know everyones' names yet :p

I never expected to see my name here. I'll add some folks:
Askew - always a hoot to be around and willing to help when he's not playing Madden or SOCOM. ;)
Dainslef - my regular chatting buddy, extremely knowledgeable (and willing to share it) regarding mining and other game activities
Galin - will drop most anything to come help me (for some reason)

There's many others, but these folks are the ones who have been there recently for me.

That's sweet ^^;

I think the LS stuff people resent is just the 'list my entire LS to get them to like me without really knowing how/why they qualify as good players' tactic. It'd be a shame if somebody as helpful and loyal as that couldn't get a thumbs-up just because they were in your LS :)

I agree with Aloof on why people dont like the "list my entire ls here in this thread".
On the other hand when you have someone like Mrvile ( from what Scurv and Diiz has stated about him )a person like that deserves to be in a thread like this.
Mrvile sounds like the exact prototype player of what the FFXI community could use more of. Selfless acts to help advance LS mates and other players alike, with nothing expected in return except for the personal gratitude of helping somone get along in game.

TeamDBZ is full of helpful people.
Krilldog is always willing to help me when I need it, and the most helpful person (to me, he loves me :D) ever is Buteo.

Good bunch of guys ^^

Fionn (THF/NIN) and Alkira (RNG/WAR) were really patient with us-- we started out having a really off night with our static, grinding away at about 2K/hr in an overcrowded CN camp. They took the plunge with us and came out to Zi'tah, where we could never really get things going due to farmers and NPC levellers, but we got better xp there waiting for CN to thin out a little. They had never been to Zi'tah and still took a swing at pulling, and did very well at it. No complaints, no argument, and no reluctance to go off the beaten path. Couldn't possibly ask for better pick-up adds.

Alkira in particular used the WAR subjob well, she was hitting upwards of 400 with Berserk putting extra oomph behind the barrage, and 90 percent of the time doing it late enough that I had hate locked even with the occasional SATA failure (which was my fault due to twitchy fingers and off night, kept accidentally shifting out of line for SATA) Nobody flinched or panicked when we got links. We went back to CN when there was room, and burned through the last couple of hours partying like a dream.

If you're looking for a RNG that comes prepared, positions herself without complaint, isn't stuck to what a guide says you HAVE to do or where you HAVE to go, Alkira's the way to go. Seems like a fairly newish player (didn't know about AF) and already very promising :)
