^_^ /dance

as a 67BRD, i get screwed pretty well by the xp update, but at least bard is getting the first new song/ability since Rise of the Zilart was released in Japan... "The bard song Army's Paeon V (Lv. 65) has been added."

its not much, but at least they havent forgotten the job is in the game >.<
(something akin to Divine Veil, Assassin, or Zanshin(sp?) woulda been nice, but oh well ^^;; )
 
hehe..like BRDs aren't already over powered in a party ><

Um I dunno how that happened. No trojans for me...never had anyone else complain of it either...; ;

Think about this, everyone, perhap S-E comes to the conclusion that they made a mistake and restore the exp sytem to what it was before this update. Now, do you think they'd give us our exp back that THEY deleted? I think not... I really don't like this update cause I still feel screwed over... and not that I'm level...75...cause I'm not anymore... KS BCNM dying about 10 times and only having R1 makes you lose a lot of exp, still find this update to be bad even though it might help me get back to 75 faster. And those of us against it are stating our opinion and know that we can't keep it from coming. we are(or atleast myself is) just upset that none of you even care that S-E is screwing us over and people only seem so selfish knowing that they can make it to 75 faster just to appease their own desires and not care that people are getting screwed over along the way.


I'm not saying you guys aren't getting the short end of the stick, but come on. ><
What I'm saying is the amount of whining far exceeds the actual problem.


Those that had the time to get to 75, or multiple times, before the update, are the last ones that should complain. You all love this game, and are lucky enough to have the kind of time you want to play it.

In the grand scheme of your FFXI "careers", this means nothing. And, it is insisted that the noobs keep missing the point. :lol:
Perhaps a D/C would do you all some good.


Keep complaining about it, ya good for nothing, run of the mill, son of a, rotten, low-down, no good, piece of...Just shut up already.
 
can i just say for the record that firestreak ignored me again?

:D
 
Copy of my post in the update info up thread..

Man.. that really is lame. After looking at Fire's list. I may be 'only' lvl 58, but i've already wasted 28k worth of experience. That's enough for a almost 2 more levels on the new system. How fucked up is that.

Wasted time is all it adds up to for anyone beyond lvl 51. I didn't think I'd really have a lot to complain about, and in comparison to those 70+ I don't, but this really is pretty screwed up.

For anyone that's under 50, or just reached 50 this is wonderful. Everyone else beyond this point though has wasted countless hours getting exp that as of today no longer exists. Take that into consideration all of you who think this is no big deal. We're talking weeks, if not months that a lot of people spent getting exp that is now gone with no compensation.

I've been playing since the game first came out in North America on the PC just to get where I am. By all accounts I should have atleast one 75 job by now but I don't. That bothers me a tiny bit. It isn't because I suck at playing the game. Anyone who's ever partied with me knows that is not true.

Am I really one of the few people that haven't reached endgame yet, that didn't mind the exp system? I rather enjoyed leveling. Infact it's one of the most fun aspects of the game to me, aside from quests and missions.
I was looking foward to getting to 75 on the old system, it was challenging because you couldn't just sky rocket there. Along the way I've partied with countless cool and good players. (as well as horrible ones)

Though.. this new system just makes leveling too easy. I mean, really, the least they could have done was offer some kind of restitution for our lost time. That's months ive been paying SE to play their game leveling Drk, that now.. if the new system was in place before hand I could have been lvl 58 a few months earlier, could have been able to kill things easier sooner to make the money that im saving up for a hauby. Wasted time.. wasted wasted wasted..

And nothing given back to repay the loss. The more I think about this thing now that the real figures are known, the more pissed off I get. I was really hoping it wouldnt be anything too huge, but I was unfortanetly let down. I can't even imagine how pissed I'd be if I was 70+. God.. all that time exping for nothing. People have a right and a damn good reason to be pissed off.

To me, it's all added up to wasted time, all that time exping to get where you are, and poof, that exp is gone now. You spent all that time for nothing. That is my major gripe.
 
I'm ignoring you Panda because you open with a flame when we're trying to be civil.

And to Sneaky... basically, from what I gather. Your view seems to be...

"You guys have more time than me to play FF so your time is less important."

What about players like Alanon who don't have time often to play but reached 75 in a static simply because he began playing earlier, and his static took less breaks, and he started leveling seriously faster. (You can't deny your static doesn't stop often and that if you've been playing a year, you spent a good chunk of it at 25 and under, because I remember you being in Qufim back when my Pally was 60+.) The point being, how would you feel if this change happened 6 months from now, after you earned level 75 under the old system, with your limited time. Or even if you'd been level 67 or so, as the huge exp cut seems to be 55-67.
 
LOL Square Enix did it again!!!!
lv75 people ll be still the lv75 people, check the update info, u need same exp to get lv75, they moved the jumpers only, the curve got no breaks now, but u will have to get same exp to get lv75.

Ya that what that curve looks like, so this thread has no grounds. Its merely a smooth curve if I"m reading it right.

Looks like the huge spikes are gone and a smooth curve has now replaced it. It ends same place though, if i'm reading it right.
 
The area under those graphs represents total xp needed. There is a graph in another thread which represents total xp needed graphed linearly. In that graph, and not this one, do you look at the endpoint to determine difference.

You will note that the area under the graph has been significantly reduced. Thus, while level 75 has the exact same tnl as it always has, each level from 50-74 is less than it used to be.
 
Looking at the graph they gave us, it's obvious that they are taking away a significant chunk of exp. For several parts of the graph, it's looking like almost a 20% decrease in the exp needed. For everyone saying "oh it won't be that much, it's not a big deal" 20% exp needed to level is a huge amount to take away.

This is obviously going to make it a lot easier to get to 75.
