While I am away from ffxi, i'm gonna make fun of you guys going crazy over the chocobo quests and what you are probably saying. (You can make fun of me for not having a choco when i come back in september). :P

From VG Cats:



LoL I haven't had alot of experience with n00b sayings as of late (been busy w/ BST)

I'll try to find some Screenies and post 'em here.

One of my greater areas of ignorance, when I was first starting (the December after NA release) was my ideas about crafting. I remember telling everyone:

"Yeah, I plan on getting to 100 in every tradeskill, eventually."

Of course, to be completely fair, people would reply back with, "Yeah, I might do that myself."


The NA community at large was completely oblivious to the limit on skill levels you could achieve beyond level 60 in any craft. In fact, when I first heard someone tell me about it (allegedly from a higher-level, Japanese friend), I thought of it as a silly, nasty, very unlikely rumor. I literally mocked and laughed at the notion publicly.

T_T

(In order to keep this thread alive, I give you some lower quality n00b moments.
These may not be as good but they were on sale 2 for a dollar.)




Once upon a weekend, not so long ago, outside of Kazham...


*flash back wavy lines effect*



Friday:

I'm looking for party members and see a level 25 THF with no subjob seeking. Nuff said about that.
(no, of course I didn't invite him)

Level 25 THF/5 WAR
/sigh
(yeah, I invited him. There was no one else available and the pt agreed... we did our best not to refer to him as "Mr. Gimpy" to his face.)

We booted him after he ran up and provoked a goblin as the puller was returning with a mandy. (Tank had to pull because he "didn't have any ranged weapons") Thankfully he died before getting close enough to us to wipe us all out. He also HP'd to Jeuno immediately after death even though we had a WHM with raise.
(?)


Sunday:

I ask a WAR/MNK to join our pt. He's in La Thiene so it's a bit of a trip. He sends me a tell later informing me that he's made it to Jugner Forest. As a joke, I ask him why he didn't rent the rocket chocobo. And um. . . He believed me. He asked where he could rent one and apologized for not having rented it in the first place.

^^'

Once in Khazam, he asks if he's the tank. Not a stupid question... if it hadn't been for the fact that I've already informed him we had a PLD tanking.

After we start fighting, we all notice he's using a scythe.. and keeps taking hate by using 300 TP WS's and even his 2 hour... for some odd reason. After taking hate and his hp goes into the yellow he runs to the mages for a heal.

>.>

After the fight he says, "That was close!!"

This happens often.



After a bit, he says he has to go and asks if he should get a replacement. We agree to the replacement and he asks if we needed a WHM.

PLD: Nah, we've got enough healers, we need another DD.
WAR: What's a DD?
ME: Damage Dealer
WAR: you mean a NIN?
PLD: No. . . that's a tank

I know a NIN is also a DD, but it's still kinda funny hearing a DD ask what a DD is.
:P

/bump stop letting this fall to second page

Ok not extremely funny but didn't want to let thread die again :P

I just got the game, installed, updated etc. Then made my character got logged on first.... Wasn't satisfied with the name and looks and I also picked WHM but I wanted to be a BLM. n00b moment #1

- You can change your job at any moment you want. I had no idea...

Either way I wasn't happy with my Taru anyway. So I deleted, created new one. I had talked to someone and then when I returned with yet another new character, I couldn't find them. n00b moment #2

- More than 1 server, again no idea.

After having levelled and finally unlocking my subjob. I was talking to a friend I made and told him I was going to level WHM as sub. He then boasted to me about how he had levelled all the starting jobs to 10. n00b moment #3

- You can change your sub job and level it before unlocking the possibility of using it. I -still- had no idea untill he told me

So the thread dont die:
Scenario: Leveling white mage in the qufim at level 22 fighting crabs. Am party leader.

Me: Fisherman? Where? Pull please
Noob: Pulls Crab
- 196xp-
Noob: Pulls Crab
- 192xp-
Noob: Pulls Crab
- 178xp-
Noob: PULLS not aggros a Giant Ranger. Comes back to camp with 35HP. Warrior Vokes gets hit with grand slam has 88HP.
Me: ...
Me: Cure2. /p Zone.

- After Warrior dies and everyone zones -

Noob: Where was our healing?
Me: I zoned. Why would you pull a Giant Ranger ******?
Noob: Why are you calling me a ******?
Me: You didnt give us any warning or ask the party if they even want to fight a Giant.
Noob: We could have taken it.
Me: We werent even fully rested.
Noob: Dont ever question my rank and skill?
Me: Huh?
Noob: You think you know it all because youre Rank 6 Giants are easy for us.
Me: No. Im just trying to do whats best for the party and apparently theyre not that easy.
Noob: You dont even know me. Ive completed 8-3Mission. Im just on another player.
Me: 8-3? ... ? ... <Boot, picked up DRG>

From the level 22, and the rest of the post referencing getting 180 to 190 xp off crabs and pulling a Giant Ranger, I assume you meant to say you were levelling in Qufim.

I was the n00b who had a "/s Get over here!" macro line with my provoke at level 8, or so. It's neat that I used a macro at level 8, but it's horrible that I thought I was cool, because I knew how to make one, thus /saying it to everyone around me in the Fumaroles.

Later one, I was the n00b that realized I could grab a monster with Provoke, but never used it in my first party with other people, because I didn't want to get attacked. The WHM died as a result...

Later I switched to WHM and decided it'd be neat to a have a /p and /s line in my cure macros with dumb things like, "/s Ouch, that looks like it hurts. (Cure II)" and whatnot... After my first time partying by the tower in Qufim (Where 3-4 parties reside on a regular basis), the other parties made it quite aware that they didn't find my /s macro lines as neat as I did. I felt quite foolish.

Good times :D

Sushendo, what is really important is that you can heal someone split seconds after you think "he needs to be healed now". For me, macros do that, it takes forever to find the proper spells in the list. But if for you the time efficient way is doing it with the menus, do it FTW! ^_^
Actually, while other WHMs have different macros for every party member, it's more efficient for me to target them with the F keys, for example. There are different schools in the Whm handling ^_- Do what is better for you ^_^ And if noone dies because of your cures getting too late, then you are on the good way. If people dies because you cure too late, then consider changing your method ^_^
