I've been looking through some of the other server forums, and saw one thread about a Ballista Championship! o.O It's made me wonder why Shivans don't Ballista more, unless there is a secret Ballista meeting time I don't know about.. >.>

I guess my question is.. Do you participate in Ballistas? Or if you don't.. why not? Personally I find it really fun! ^^

So fellow Shivans, if you are tired of the same old stuff.. go beat your fellow players up, then you can go and say how you beat so and so up! Ballista people!!!

Note: I was bored at work when I posted this. >.>;

Seriously... I don't know why more people are not playing Ballista. I used to play all the time until it got harder and harder to find people on the fields. I'd like to see some of the big name linkshells go head to head for fun and bragging rights, that would definitely be a sight to see.

That's exactly what I would like to see! LS vs LS. It'd be so fun!

But I've just learned that Friday nights are NA's Ballista prime time. o.O So maybe I'll get to do one Friday! Yay!

I love Ballista. I tour the circut all the time... More at night than day though, due to the fact that NA players tend to Ballista less than JP players. I've made a few JP friends through ballista actually. The only problem with it: No space to hold all my gear :( Even with 50 Inv. Slots, 70 in my safe, and 33 in storage, it's tough. But, anyways, Yea I love to Ballista... I also love being Tractored across Lufasie Meddows... ;)

Lol I think there is. Any time when JP are awake, they <3 to ballista ^^ Anyway, when I get 60 which will be really soon is when I'm going back to doing Ballista. I gave it up after 55 cause I didn't wanna buy 50 gear. So I decided to get 60 and do it. :)

last week was the best. In meriphautaud mountains.

Windy vs Bastok. Windy were outnumbered. 8 against 10

We had Pld, brd, blm, mnk, sam, and a few others

They had
Rdm, Pld, Smn, Whm, and other DD's like Drks and stuff.

Anyways we won them ^^

/cheer for windurst!.

i dont realy know anything about ballista but, im weary of it. im just afraid of losing. i take pride in my character and i wouldnt want another job/character to outdo me. are there any penelties for dying? like the loss of exp?

ballista does sound fun though. just the thought of someone exploiting my weakness is terrifying to me! lol

im only 32drk/war. is that even high enough to do ballista? and how would i go about getting in one? thanks.

ballista its 2 teams that basically run about a battle field and beat the crap outta each other. There is no exp loss when you die. If your team loses the batle the only thing you lose if the money you betted with. which is only like 3k sometimes (prices do vary). Its a lot of fun. Im gonna level my red mage to 37 just to sub it under my blm. So i can take on red mages. Red mages use there buffs then its a simple dispel lol. Then NUKE! lol.

Ive been killed about 50 times in ballista. they must be afraid of black mages or something... lol.

Never lost a ballista battle and i dont intend to start.

Ive never gone out of my way to get the license. I dont remeber what guy in ru lude gardens has the schedule. I have never done it, and dont want someone to wipe the florr wiht me. I am ALWAYS BUSY, and so never bored looking for something else to do.

Having said all that, i would like to get the license, and attempt soem ballistas. It sounds like a lot of fun. And i think i have some tricks up my sleve that might be helpful !! (and of course i could be wrong)

I actually got to do a Ballista on Friday! Windurst vs Bastok.Thanks to the ones I begged to come. You did have fun though. ^^;

But the only thing that made it not so great was that we out numbered the Bastok team, 4 to 3. :/ I'll give it to them though, they gave one hell of a fight. ^^ Even a one on one battle! I can't wait till the next one. And D, you owe me a one on one fight! :3

Im still open for Ballista-40 and 50 duels. My style is meet in an area real far from the main area, and duel. Rules are No 2-Hour Abilities may be used. No outside help. If you are not a WHM, RDM, /WHM, /RDM....no Protect/Shell. Only buffs may be self applied. Those new equipments that give buffs (the Shield that gives Shell effect, the one that gives Haste) are legal. Food and Drinks are legal (Pies, Kabobs, Juices, Yag Drinks, Au Laits), but Medicines are not (Potions, Ethers, Remedys, Eye Drops, Echo Drops, Antidotes, etc). Status inflicting 'potions' such as Blinding Potions (Double Bat Earrings at Ballista-60 and Blind Potion for +30 Evasion) -ARE- legal since they include the drawback of obviously recieving the negative effect.

By the way Chi, I challenge you!!!

But for your questions about why people dont do duels is simply because of 6 spells and 2 items:

Sleep Arrows
Sleep Bolts
Sleepga I
Sleepga II
Sleep I
Sleep II
Foe Lullaby
Horde Lullaby

At least thats the reason I stopped doing Ballista every day. (And Yes, I know theres 2 certain useable items that negate these, but those items are 10-15k a stack and you'd go through at least 1 stack per Ballista, so {Thanks for the offer, but I'll have to pass.}

Chi, you and me. Ballista 40. Duel to the last HP!
