Gotcha. I'm probably going to deactivate my account for the month of April so I can make it through finals and graduation, but I'll be back in early May.
Make sure you check your delivery box before tomorrow!
 
Sorry to have been such an absentee (Galadrian is the char, if no one remembers..) ever since I hit the 60 cap, I've been taking a break.. too many offline games to play :lol

still subscribed, though.

SO my google skills have failed me.

Whats the difference between pc/360 graphics? Are the 360 versions actually a bit nicer?

I couldn't find anything about it other than Square's little "Enhanced HD graphics and 5.1 surround sound" line.

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.

All three versions use exactly the same models and textures. The PC version is potentially the best, because of the custom resolution options. The game doesn't support AA at all, but you can render at a resolution higher than your screen resolution and sample down. (supersampling) I render at 3,360X2100 for a 1,6808X1,050 target resolution.
The 360 version freezes during an event called Besieged, just so you know.

Okay, I have my home PC and xbox 360 all updated and ready to roll again. Installing it on my work PC now (6 hours to update!). I'm going to be transferring to Sylph with a friend after everything is open for transfers again. Looking forward to seeing some of you guys then.

Oh, edited to add this:

http://www.ffxionline.com/forums/ga...textures-game-looks-amazing-look-see-how.html

AT YOUR OWN RISK - This shows you how to make some of the graphical tweaks to FFXI (namely increasing the size of the background textures)

Since we're having a little maintenance and I'm getting excited to get back into the game let me pose a few questions to FFXIGaf:

My buddy has a 72BST. I have a 45BST and a 31PUP. We're going to duo some and then try to get some rank missions and stuff done eventually.

How does PUP + BST duo work? The main reason I quit playing my PUP is because I was sick of getting the new frames (I haven't gotten Valoredge since turning 30). Which automaton would you use with a BST duo? Would I be better off just continuing on with my BST?

So with this the server merger has happened? I can join in on the GAF fun?

Its happened, but all day maintenance, so you start tomorrow. Just make sure to grab the update today.
 
B+ is not bad but I was hoping for a A. Fairy is gone :( I really hope that nobody has my name on the new server. If I have to add another L I'm going to be :/

I'll be on tonight when it switches at 10:00pm MT unless of course it get's extended.

So I was looking at the .dats.

Desperately want a Nocturnus Helm for WSes. The mail would be awesome too. Also: Strigoi rings. Really curious what the waystones do, and if they're related to a source of warp earrings.
I wonder if the five new generic weapons of each type, all lv75 and gradually scaling up in D, are placeholders for the upgrade stages of the WotG relics. LOL at Aketon +1s

Creel of Moat Carp
:lol :lol :lol :lol

Edit: Dear god @ Panetiere. Massive deletion of mules incoming.

So I got a UCS-5400 error when trying to setup my new POL account. Is it just because everything is down for maintenance?

I logged in on a trial account and POL worked fine.

So something wrong with POL or me? :(

Return of the Jeuno smuggling quests? :lol Nah, probably just makes the tablets easier to find.

The teleport earrings strike me as related to the Waystones, and thus probably quested or NPC-crafted.

Alright lets see here...
Krabkatoa Shell
The massive, still-smoldering shell of the gargantuan Krabkatoa, as solid and durable as a slab of volcanic rock.

Well we know what the giant crab is.

Not sure why Cobra harness was added again.
 
Is there a guide for the LS color guide thing that I can use to pick the right color this time?

Who wants to help pass out pearls?

Also, last chance if someone else wants to make the shell, speak up now.

I shopped around for the last 2 days searching for ultimate collection and finally found 2 copies. (one for me and one for my friend) Installing it now. Had a POL Registration hiccup earlier but it fixed itself after waiting a few hours.

Just have to patch once it's back up :(

Yup always.
 
I'm on tonight when it starts back up (Even if it's 4am lol). I need my name in there. I did a quick search of FFXIAH for the server and names that are registered on the server. I know it doesn't include 100% of the population but it's ok I guess to see if your name is taken or not.

make sure you save it in a lossless format .jpg compression might throw the color off (this is if you guys want the exact shade of blue :D )

I'll try to jump on to grab a new pearl when I get the chance, I feel really bad not being on at all lately, but mannn Ive been hit with crap all free time + epic games which need my attention (Heavy rain/ FFXIII says hi)

Also,

New fish varieties have been added for the quest "Inside the Belly."
