Macros ><

Viewing some Black Mage resources online, I've been attempting to tweak my macros...or better yet, stop being a lazy-ass and actually making a decent set of macros. I honestly chalk a lot of wipes to not having them set up properly.....and, after being back in a fast paced game like WoW for a few months, I realized just how lazy I had gotten in this slower paced game.

Now, the interface for ffxi is quite clunky compared to, say again, WoW. It's hard for people on a PC to react fast (I have no idea how it works out for people on a console.)

Basically, most of them look something like that. The body parts will be switched out as I level and get new equipment.

Now to begin to master the art of blink kiting. I get the gist of it, I've done more complicated things in WoW....believe me.... but ffxi's interface is a bit different and slower, so I'll have to adapt I suppose.

I have found a linkshell in the game that suites my playstyle well. We're currently doing the CoP storyline, so I'm very happy I got in on that. I be bold enough to brag in the fact that I am very reliable as far as showing up. It comes from my conditioning in WoW, I arrive early, get ready early, and I'm at the MEETING POINT or dungeon entrance AT the time the event is scheduled to start. In my old guild, if you weren' t exactly on time, the other 40 ish people online waiting in line at the time took your spot.

It's exciting to be getting storylines done. That's why I became stubborn and started again after "quitting" for close to 6 months (on and off). I do not like playing games and never completeing them.....

I noticed the leader does call people out on things. Like tardiness, and not bringing items you need (RR. hairpins), not nasty or anything, it's nice to know they are paying attention. So many out there that don't know the ass from the face, and they decide they want to lead.

The only thing that irked me about this shell so far was the conversation between two players on ls chat. I don't appreciate hearing the words pussy, cum and buttfuck when I log on. =/ I politely told them I found their conversation offensive, and asked them to stop and do it through tells, and got a smart ass answer... So I took off my shell for the night. I don't feel I need to put up with that kind of BS. People need to grow up.
