Game Informer Updates Options

[Skorpius]

Server maintenance uploaded a downloadable quest to the US servers, and also added GI banners to the lobbies. I sure hope that JP players (and JP HL users) cannot see these or do the quest, because that would lame DX





**Quest Spoiler**




The US only quest is strange. The map is messed up (grid form, in the shape of a connected G and I) and it's a 2 vs 1. FOmar/RAcaseal vs You. The FOmar uses a lot of Tech Halfguard items, and the RAcaseal has no stratagy, as far as I can tell. I saw her summon a Morfos, and a Bartle, a freind saw a Crimson Assassin. They play Dice+1's, so assists of your own are overwritten. Take advantage of thier Dice bonus cards, and thier Immortality.

You then get the Game Informer Card, neat prize that doesnt do much other than sit on your trophy shelf:


Enjoy!

Yeah, I know someone that works at a Gamestop that can get FFXI + the HDD for $65. He also has an extra ethernet adapter and USB keyboard (I think) laying around so those would be free as well. It is a pretty great deal.

Well, after thinking about it some more, realized that the JP-only quests were just one factor in me wanting to leave. The FFXI deal has already been mentioned as a reason but another more compelling one is that the US ships seem to be turning into ghost ships lately. I actually went online on Thursday and there was *no one* in the lobbies of Antares 8 and Deneb 9. Vega is basically Hayato land and other jackasses' playground so I avoid going there at all cost. This is one game where playing by yourself constantly just grows incredibly boring. Heck, the times I've been online lately I've barely seen anyone on Antares 5 or other stomping grounds lately either.
