Aleuts rock, chummer.

So this weekend I attended Akeenai's extremely public execution.



Naturally we were very supportive of him in his time of need.



High fives are a natural and healthy part of the grieving process



Then I played with my elephant.



Then I thought to myself, "If offline stalls, which last for four hours leave my character online..."



kingcee was walking past and stopped to look at my elephant, which can't be killed, dismissed or harmed in this state. I don't know why he's staring, after all he's in the faction that can summon them.



Sometimes people ask me questions about where my elephant's genitals are... :catstare:

Blame Akeenai for not making the war post after he got us declared on~

What: WWWWWAAARRRR
When: :toot:
Where: Probably WV SE base
Why: Akeenai kept murdering Huatah's leader alt during bidding because the dumb fucks in Huatah don't know that if you die with the interface up you can still use it. Hopefully we have a repeat of the last time they attacked and we cap their base and come back to defend.

I do.

Also, like a typical douchebag lawyer, I was asking a question, the answer of which I knew the answer to, and to which there was only one possible answer, but I asked anyway.

Basically I played AoW a while ago on BD, spent about $120. Got bored stopped playing. Came back tried new toon on SV, realized SV is poop, tried to come back to BD. Find this poo poo. $120 down the shitter. Do Google search. Apparently a bunch of players got randomly banned during that time by retard-tier autoban. I would file a complaint with the BBB, but Snail USA already has an F- rating.

It's such a strong set that I think it's probably worth it if only for the spirit free spam attack. Every level improves the damage on the mangle. Going from 2 to 3 doubled the damage that each stack added. It also seemed like the stacks all last a lot longer at 3.

We only lost one of the 3 wars tonight, and that was mostly due to almost none of Resurrection being on TeamSpeak so they all stood around with their thumbs up their rear end while their base got capped. Post war hat noogie!


And then Erza whines in Faction chat, who loving saw that coming! Too bad they like me more than him since I usually lead the raids and coordinate arrays for our events.


Speaking of the event, we nearly killed him Saturday afternoon. It's hard to do with 9 people.

Yes, that's over 4 million damage done in 20 minutes. loving chinagame.

POMF did our version of this with 12 people last night, and we had to do it in 15 minutes. Quit slackin'.

And that's not at all our hardest event. Not by far.

I stopped playing this a few months to a year back after having accomplished absolutely nothing of worth and the new updates lured me back in (oh god why). Created a new vagrant character because it seemed new compared to picking one of the eight schools and I wanted to try out one of those other factions added to the game. Did I make a mistake? How would I go about becoming an effective face puncher instead of always being the one getting their face punched in?

Ok now that I've unlocked POMFs second Identity I have no idea how the game expects us to use all these tokens. Im getting over 60 every day, internal books at my identity range are 10 tokens each. Ive bought all the internal books allowed by my identity the moment it popped up and I had enough to buy the basic attacks level 4 book.

By the time I can actually buy school gear I'll be getting like 100 tokens every day, which makes the grind for them a whole lot more bearable considering you'd probably have enough stored from before to outright buy every skill book to seven and all internals.

-e The major limitation is always influence to get to a higher identity and the rarer order tokens that are only used for gear and higher level skills.

Join a faction. Or join WV and get perish blade plus a mentor for third inner and do tornadoes once you have it leveled some and a few meridians rolling. Get those jianghu inner fragments. I hear Beast Villa's set is good for PvE though, which is what you need at the start, so maybe that's another quick route to tornadoes while doing a faction at the same time.

If you can get on your old character, you may have a million cultivation, chi and such for the returning hero event. Maybe even a free month of VIP. Plus you'll have a bigger accumulated chi pool, which is a big deal for starting out. Just betray if you don't want the school.

I don't think that's really true. I think the major problem was a mismatch in power. It's not like power was distributed evenly to both defenseive teams--not even remotely. I felt like we got the benefit of an alliance and Resurrection kinda got the shaft.

And there was a lot of confusion over the organization and who would go where (split defense at start), and then there was a late change to the plan (all on attack, then split defense), then ANOTHER last second change about two minutes before the war started (flipping who would defend at which base), then yet ANOTHER change 2 minutes into the war (sending some teams back early, but not others), with ongoing talking wiffle-waffle decisionmaking throughout. People grumbled all the way. People in TS were also confused, including myself. From what I was hearing from the Resurrection folks, I suspect they got rolled more because of a difference in power--they all teleported to their base, right?--not a faiwure ... to ... commun'cate.

I felt like quibbling over decisions was part of the problem. Maybe we can have ONE raid leader on any given war night, and rotate the guild from which the leader comes. So one war it's someone from NoTrabbu, then another a Goon, then another a Resurrection, and another an Enigma. Or something--just one person on any given night to make the absolute calls, and not always Leffe. That way there can just be cleaner, faster decisions and one person can take the heat after the fact for executuve decisions that piss people off.

In order to summon him outside of the cage in his instance, 300 intimacy is required, in the beggar zone 5000, outside of beggars 10,000. The most efficient food to raise intimacy costs 100L bound and gives 200 intimacy. I did that and used a skill that gives six intimacy per click, so that alone would take 1,334 clicks, on a skill that has a minute cool down. I left my computer on overnight two nights in a row with autohotkey going. I'm going to keep on doing that to see if anything changes at 20k+ intimacy. In the event my elephant gets a wine mist-esque knockdown ability with his trunk(no joke I've seen a tiger with the wine mist knockdown animation and ability), you will know, you will all know.

Yeah not just assigning guilds to their own homebases was an awful idea that I helped correct quickly after the war started. Also the part about power mismatch is because Ressurrection somehow has less of a showing than NoTrabbu or hell sometimes even goons unless it's a loving PVE event.
