So the news from VanaFest basically comfirm that they've created a new type of PvP and haven't forgotten that players like to let off some steam now and then. Player Monster as it's called for now looks like it's going to take alot of the suggestions people put out over the years and possibly shine in it's own right, but I think SE must be satisfied with Ballista as it currently stands?
This event seems very unique, super exciting :D. I agree with you, they seem to listen to the players on this one, this will be great =)
I believe they are content with the current state of Ballista as well. Indirectly, this might be the answer a lot of people have been waiting for~

It does sound like fun. More simplistic than a team game type of activity, but it might help some people test the pvp waters.

Hey Nyheen! I play on Lakshmi full of ballista. As your PUP is very talented and worth the challenge I still say have your gf and you move :)
On a side note, this new PvP is player vs player. I think one side will be monsters and one side players. So its sort of like Left 4 dead 2, where one side is human, the other side zombies.
So thus it would be amazing to be a Monster, level the monster and turn it into an NM or HNM or VNM of sorts.

According to SE, its one side is players as Monsters, the other is People being their own selves. That is what was announced over the weekend.

I watched the whole thing, I know.
There is both monster on player and monster on monster combat. It was even stated that defeating another playermonster as a monster earns greater reward than doing so as a normal player.

I too watched it. They said that Players can fight players as Monsters. Read the recap in another forum you will see. It says players start as basic monsters, can level up like they do normal jobs and only in certain areas. Then you can level up to NM, HNM, etc. After that you can enter your monster into a battlefield pvp area.

just ignore him.
anyways mini seen alot Lakshmi pvp going on there on youtube, not much happening on bismarck dont think i seen a match started here in over 2 years, but my guess with this new pvp coming out could bring back alot of it.
would be weird pvp a person that a mob>.> but would be funny to see. iam surprised they even coming out wirh a new pvp. they may also be hope that they gonna update the others

I actually enjoy Brenner. Its a different skill haha. I remember it first came out it was too crowded. Now a days it is dead. Still for those who do not ballista, its the only way to participate. Although for Evviva and me since we participate a lot, we get points too :P Although idk about Evviva I do not use my points too often if to only get a revit as needed :P
I do hope that this Monster PvP system will bring back people and make them want to level a certain job it would be totally fun. (dreams of playing as a big ol wyvern or Shadowlord) hahaha.

I've recently downloaded FFXI test server client just for this. I used to really enjoy ballista a few years ago until people stopped doing it altogether. Now I'm even more excited looking to doing ballista on the test server with people from all servers.

Following is the official match listing for July 9th to July 23rd.
Ideally, the proposed schedule is posted to promote participation on any server.
The current active Ballista servers are Lakshmi and Carbuncle as well as the test server, Undine.
Please do not change job mid match -or- sign-up before 18:00 to avoid unbalanced job sorting by the herald, thanks!

hmm I haven't actually seen anyone in the test server sign up for ballista yet. I'd thought for a test server there'd be alot of people on here. Unless there's some that only does ballista outside the test server?

Wish SE brought back the official ballista tournament. I always wanted to join a team but by the time i got good at it, all that ended and i missed my chance of getting the blue hat for winning in the official tournament. =/ Also the prizes were nice at the time as well.
Ballista Revolution
I just want to throw this word out there to any remaining or new Ballista players so that they can be better informed of the current situation.
♣♦♣♦♣♦♣♦♣♦♣♦♣♦♣♦
I'm hoping to get a community established on the test server for those that can't server hop to:
[♦]Carbuncle[60 cap Official Matches + Elite Diorama]
[♣]Phoenix[Elite 1v1]
[♦]Lakshmi [I don't have an applicable link here - but it's a server known for 99 cap Official Matches now.]
[♣]Fenrir[60 cap Official matches, diorama matches, and some uncap official matches. For more information, contact Ayerro.]

Welcome to Ballista Revolution
—Written by Teishi
It has come to our attention that some players may view this website or our videos but never come forward and present themselves. Even several of our current members admit that they were shy and hesitant before introducing themselves to us. As the group leader, I really want to make it clear that we want you to come play Ballista! Even if you’ve never played a single match or don’t have any level 60 gear, it doesn’t matter. Take that first step, and I guarantee you’ll enjoy what we have to offer.
P.S. To those who may have quit FFXI or have lost interest in the grind, consider trying Ballista. With us, Ballista is a completely separate game from FFXI. The mechanics and strategies are totally different. You can have a fresh start in a whole ‘new game’, and your hard earned gil and job levels give you a nice head start!

This is my story~
Like most FFXI players, I cherished the many challenges of the game since I first started playing, from completing the subjob quest to limit breaks. After hours upon hours and days upon days of tedious play, I finally reached the maximum job level, found myself a loving linkshell, and was able to participate in the endgame events in which I always dreamed of doing. However, those endgame days were short lived and slowly faded away, as I found a new purpose of playing FFXI.
I found Ballista.
When I first started playing, it was a blast, killing friends and foes on the blood-stained battlefield. It was an experience like no other. Of course, it wasn't always fun and games. I had my share of the bitter taste of defeat several times, but that didn't stop me from playing. In fact, those defeats motivated me to improve as a player. Over time, though, as new features were introduced to the game, the majority of the few who played Ballista gradually returned to endgame. I admit that even I did. Soon, the thought of Ballista escaped my conscious mind, but I always had a feeling that it was still lurking somewhere within my cloud of thoughts.
I was bored one day, browsing through many different sites on multiple windows of Google Chrome: Facebook, Gmail, Youtube, Redtube, etc. Somehow, I ended up doing a Google search for Ballista and came across a variety of Ballista videos. Most of them were of seemingly senseless '1 on 1 duels', but I stumbled upon some that just blew my mind away. They were from a Ballista LS known as BallistaRevolution, and from there, I was linked to their LS website. I discovered something completely out of the ordinary. Ballista teamplay? There are actually people who do this?
Immediately, I became a fan of their work and wanted to join their Ballista community. Although we were on different servers, I paid the transfer fee and hopped over to theirs without any regret. At first, I was a bit hesitant to speak with them; they seemed to play at an entirely different league than what I was used to. Eventually, I summoned what little courage I had at the time and went for the touchdown. Talking with them turned out easier than I originally thought. After introducing myself, my motives, and goals, my chances of joining their LS seemed more than likely, or so I thought. My Ballista aptitude was tested... rook guard, hyper, third eye ws dodging.. sprint ws dodging, poison>sleep timing.. communication... it was like a game within a game, but rather one so much deeper.
Currently, I'm a proud member of BallistaRevolution, a well-respected LS within the Ballista community.
I just wanted to share with everyone my passion for Ballista, and how those varieties of events influenced me.
I realize that this post is fairly long and completely understand if it was skimmed, but regardless, I humbly thank you for your time in hearing me out.
