Is it possible for you to reply without being a snot? Just curious if you're aware of how condescending you sound right now.

Considering that the majority of his gibberish is barely legible inane twaddle, I'd venture not.

#30 DuoMaxwellxx, Posted: Jun 30 2013 at 12:04 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Ok so let me get this straight, someone makes an extremely obvious sarcastic post or one thats clearly made to mock the topic, I reply to said reply in a snotty way and IM the bad guy? Well Wint its a good thing you're not a Judge or Jury because this is CLEARLY not a fair trial

You're on trial? Smiley: lol

And yes, I was making a very snarky comment, but it's true that some special features are added to the PS3 version that cannot, for obvious reasons, exist in the PC version. And they're adding in APIs for third party programs for the PC version because if they didn't, the script kiddies would just reverse engineer everything anyway. (And funnily enough do a better job than SE at a lot of it.)

and yes i know teh PC has more memory thus it has more options...

I don't get this?

I never noticed you going full-out Poubelle until like 3 days ago? Did he hack your account?

That wasn't even sarcasm tho, obviously the PSN is a deal breaker for a lot of people. Smiley: wink

#34 DuoMaxwellxx, Posted: Jun 30 2013 at 9:19 AM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) Well AGAIN.. the POINT of the thread isnt the fact that the PC version has features/can do stuff the PS3 version cannot... I couldnt care less about that.. the POINT IS.the fact that with FFXI SE limited the PC version to only what the PS2 version could do because they thought it would be unfair otherwise. So if thats how they felt then why/what made them decide to change their stance this time around?

Because they understood it was stupid and so they try to fix that now?

Multi-step reasoning is beyond the capacity of some.

You still haven't said which features the PC can do that the PS3 can't that you're upset about. You're complaining in generalities, so of course people are going to be defensive.

Duo hasn't even participated in this beta. All of his opinions are based solely on what he's heard, which is asinine. As for the "quote" that he added in? PS3 users can zoom in and out just fine (hold L1 and move R3 up or down)...also, there's so much that's just wrong with all of his statements. I've had no problems customizing UI. Good news is that it appears we can expect to not see him in-game at launch.

#42 DuoMaxwellxx, Posted: Jun 30 2013 at 12:44 PM, Rating: Sub-Default, (Expand Post) the quote posted answers that question

It's 2013, and FXI was released in 2002. It's probably not even the same people, and a lot can change in 11 years. I don't even know why you're asking this question. It doesn't accomplish anything, besides giving you a medium in which to ***** about how you don't like the game. Why don't you just openly complain, instead of hiding behind ridiculous questions?

I certainly hope you don't plan on joining Ultros server. Everyone is welcome in our ZAM ls there... everyone except you.

...too mean? Smiley: tongue

I was going to make a character on that server, but I became too busy with my 1.0 guy. A lot of people in that LS? Any random group activities just for fun? I'd definitely like to join for phase 4 Smiley: nod

Tons of players, fairly active. I did all 3 dungeons and Ifrit battle with full ZAM group, so there's definitely a lot going on.

We just had a photoshoot last night! Smiley: grin

It's nice also when you're LFG and can't find anybody, usually someone from the shell will be willing to dive in. Pleasantly surprised with this group to this point. Smiley: smile
