If you could..Follow

All drop rates on NMs to be increased and/or have valuable gear be attainable only through burning circle type fights.

Aw....how sweet, i got rated down for this thread...

[li]Nomad moogle in Selbina. Agreed. Nothing's more fun than hustling all the way back to San D'oria (or Bastok) as a level 15 character that's bound to get eviscerated by a gobbie halfway there. Fun times.

[li]Second and third tier debuffs. Why they haven't done this already I just don't know...RDMs at best get better stats to land debuffs, but the debuffs themselves are the exact same ones we were killing Akbabas with in the olden times.
There's something wrong when you're putting the same stock in Paralyze on a Goblin Alchemist as you were on Paralyze on a freaking Ornery Sheep.

[li]Give red mages halfway decent attack ability. Yes, I want to carry a scythe. You bet. Buhahahaha

[li]I also think the PVP system needs some work. It would be nice if there was an individual 'challenge' option that would let you pound the crap out of Bmoboss at your leisure.
Select a player; 'challenge' option. If the player accepts, you become attackable to one another.

[li]I would just freaking reset the AHes and start over.

[li]Lower the Convert timer by one minute. PLEASE. Just one minute.
It never fails; when I run out of MP in a party, my Convert is one minute to recast. I could write whole libraries about how mad that makes me.
Woe to the Elvaan mage. Heh.

[li]Do something about storage. Please.
How many of us have so much freaking gear that it takes an hour and a half to get ready to go out to exp?
Moving from mule to mule, mailing stuff tediously through the eight-slot mailbox, logging in, logging out, logging in. By the time you're ready to go do what you're planning, it's time to go to bed.

All I ask is that you have access to ALL items on your account, regardless of which character is logged in, at all times.


That's all I want, for now. ;)

And yes, I'm back for good. In the evenings, anyway, when I have time. School is starting for me in the fall, and I HAVE to put this game down again mostly (too addicting) but I'll be around again.
Vimien and I will stand around mocking each other for not being able to stay away. ;)

It's good to be back. ^^ Thank you ^^

Sioux YOU'RE BACK! you don't know how happy i am you are :). Frig, made me fall off my chair laughing at 8 am this morning with your whole 'TeamPenisEnvy' post.

Bismarck (and its forum here) has just gotten so much better with you back.

Ok enough kiss-***-ing

I gotta go think up some good insults to for our routine monkey-crap-throwing fest :)

Flame thread?

Where? There is no flame thread here.

Welcome back, Sioux.

Edit. Wanna fight about it?

Change dragoons names to:

lfgwhore, or idonothinginanhnmls, or jesusisuck

Pistol class guns. Have them low delay and lower damage. Give Ranger a new Job Trait, maybe around level 20, called "Double Fire", allowing them to equip a second Pistol class firearm in their Sub slot.

What this means is that while equipping two pistols through Double Fire, the ranger would be unable to dual wield melee weapons with a Nin sub (yeah, kinda sucks, but you only got two hands, bro ;)

It would need a Haste effect (for ranged attacks only), in order to make it a viable alternative to weilding a single Rifle class firearm, like Dual Wield, or perhaps it would increase the rate of Rapid Shot firing off when Double Firing. Either way, its an even faster drain on ammo.

The downside of Double Fire would be a reduction in Ranged Accuracy. This penalty would be decreased as the Ranger rises in level, perhaps having an initial penalty of -10%, and having it reduced by half every time a new trait is acquired

Double Fire I (level 20): -10% Ranged Accuracy
Double Fire II (level 35): -5% Ranged Accuracy
Double Fire III (level 50): -2.5% Ranged Accuracy
Double Fire IIII (level 75): -1% Ranged Accuracy

So at lower levels, the effect of Dual Weilding pistols would be rather crippling, but as the penalty decreases and the Haste % builds up every 15 levels, it becomes less and less of a concern. Still, firing a single rifle class firearm would be more accurate and more damaging, but Pistols would fire off faster for better TP gain and DoT.

>_>

Did I just work up a JT that would give rangers better TP gain and DoT?

Somebody shoot me ><

<_<

Not Theophany. {Slug Shot} > {Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass.}

The other option I can think of is to make it like Double Attack for firearms: as long as the Ranger has a second pistol in his inventory, there's a random chance that he'll fire both off. The chance of Double Fire would increase with level. This is a little less complicated (there's no pissing with Ranged accuracy and it doesn't preclude Dual Wielding melee weapons), but it would also make Double Fire a lot less beneficial, so the delay on Pistol class weapons would have to be hella small to make them an alternative to Rifles.

Actually, the more I think about it, the more I like the second option. In any case, there it is.

{Shock}ing use of roman numerals 0.o

Someone get my time machine, I need to go teach the romans in the year 2005 we've amended their primitive roman 4 (IV) with a much less confusing IIII!

I wonder what implications this can have on modern day society O.O!!!

LoL, good eye. That idea went through about six revisions and between three and five levels before I settled on 4, so by that point I apparently didn't give enough of a **** to put in the correct numerals.

Actually, I was working on hatch-marks, not roman numerals. Yeah, that's it. Hatch-marks, sucka!

>_>

So yeah, which do you think works better, a Dual-Weild type, always active when an item is equiped in the sub-slot ability, or a Double Attack type random activation ability?

Personally I don't think RNG needs anymore tweaking. They're Ãœber enough as is. I mean don't you rng's get tired of dying from pulling hate with Sidewinder and Slugshot? Do you REALLY need to hit harder and faster is your death wish that great? :p


If I could...

I'd give Black Mage some new (old) spells.

Meteor, Ultima, Bio III....

For Summoner I would add new (old) avatars. Madishee from my LS suggested to me that on top of the mountain in Atthowa Chasm where you go for key item for the ENM (Cradle of Rebirth) to have an avatar battle there with Phoenix O.O!!!


White Mage should wtfpwn undead creatures, they ought to beat on them better than Monks IMO... And we should be able to cast Raise on undead things XD

And uhhh that's all for now

Sirrobin, Did you ever buy refresh?

My newborn child is more mature than you. Stop using lines from family guy, you're not clever. Usually, I might start slapping someone around because they bashed DRG. But, I won't waste my time on those who don't know how to play their own job.





Anyway, I'd like to see a whole new skillchain-weaponskill line. Take Dragoon's and Ranger's as far away from the same line as possible so retards like Sirrobin here will just stop posting all together.
(3/4's of his posts consist of bashing DRG.)

Damn, I was just getting ready for an uncapped ballista to invite you to so you could see my new crossbow. :(

Anyway, I like the idea of the pistols for RNG. Anything that has a faster rate of fire for the same amount of DoT would be ok with me...that's why I never use a gun. :D

(Those pistols had better be cheap on ammo, though. >.>)

EDITED because durr I dun work quotes gud.
