FFXI Profile System Feedback and StatusFollow

All I can say is excellent work. Truly remarkable.

Keep up the good work, and props to Alla for keeping the large portion of it free to use by us commoners.

I really like the profile system, I've been using it for a little while already to hlpe me keep track of things done.

It would be helpful we could have a central resource to keep track of all the misc FFXI data. Things like which outpost missions a person has done, conquest points, which weather effects have been gathered for SMN, things like that.

The quest log piece if a bit annoying to look over, because each quest takes up two lines, the completed part could go next to the name instead of bulleted underneath it.

Overall I like it very much and it's already been extremly helpful. I have it pulled up on another screen while browsing the AH so I can compare new equipment to my old equipment.

Look really nice, except for the fact that everyones can see how broke I am ^_^;;

This profile thing is great. Unfortunately, it doesn't represent my character as a ranger at all. I really hope you are able to make some of these changes I have to offer. Firstly, many rangers use bow and crossbow, like me. Many of them use bow, crossbow, and gun, which I will be doing at level 34 when I get the Serpentine Gun, but none of the bullets are in the database.

This brings me to my next point, which is that there is no ammo at all. I use beetle arrows and poison arrows (when acting as debuffer) when using bow and acid (defense down), blind, and sleep bolts when using crossbow, acting as debuffer. I believe you should try to come up with some way for people to see the types of ranged weapons rangers use and all the types of ammo as well. If you need information and pics for the ammo I'll be glad to send this information to you.

That I was not aware of :)

Instruments can go in what slots then, Ranged, ___ ?

I just tried loading your profile, and it comes up ok; also checked the file http://ffxi.allakhazam.com/profile_normal.xsl and it's there.

Does this happen every time? What browser + version are you using?

Also, more in general I thought I'd mention -

Item levels are checked against the level of your main job. If you're too low to wear an item, it won't list it even by searching for the name.

Changed the stylesheet to not display Gil/Attack/Defense when they're set to zero.

Instruments appear to have all been tweaked to Range slot now.

If you don't want to use the features the way they are set up now Cymmina, there is an easy solution.. don't. No one is forcing you to use the profile system, or to make it work.

Myself and many others are perfectly happy with the way it is setup. Just because they didn't design it the way you would in your apparently perfect world, doesn't mean they have to.

A lot of the times the companies who make MMORPGs frequent big fansites, like this one. If enough people post about something, there is a chance they could implement it in their systems. So please, don't tell people what to post about, it won't happen.



That I agree with, spells/songs/avatars, etc would be a nice addition for BLM/WHM/SUM, etc.
