Didn't someone mention that as a coalition of the three together the FCs are the biggest and most active the game has?

TPT has beachfront property, situated at The Best Plot In The Entire Mists, not like those other losers in the Goblet.

We'll be moving to a weeb mansion when that opens up, and I dare say that it will actually be a minor downgrade in terms of having bell, trash vendor, and market board so close to the current house.

Hello friends, my static's Samurai wandered off and vanished into thin air. I need a new melee dps to replace them. Ideally a Ninja or another Samurai, but I'm flexible. I'd vastly prefer someone who is already 70 in that job, but if you're at least 60 in it I'm happy to help you play catch up.

Our days are Sunday, Monday & Thursday, with 2 lockouts per night and a break in between, staring at 8 PM EST (1 AM server time). Will be cutting a day out once content is on farm. Check the recruitment post on Catgirl Bargains for more information: https://catgirl.bargains/topic/53-thals-balls/

I think it would be great if all three FCs could snag 28, 29, and 30 all in one ward in Shirogane. Just section off that entire part as goon territory.

pbc is not moving because then new players couldn't access the house, iirc.

I think they've explicitly said this won't be the case. You won't be able to take the boat to Kugane until you do the quest, but you can teleport to your FC's house no problem.

RE: Spell Tier Names

I wasn't trying to imply that the numbered system was ideal, but it sounds like the traditional names had more issues.

Trying to name things in such a way as to cater to people who aren't even trying is a lost cause, of course. In recognizing that though, on the other end of things, sticking with an old and storied naming scheme just because it's always been that way is silly too.

I think their comments also refer to the fact that the names start getting out of hand by the 4th tier and it's too hard to delineate the tiers in a satisfactory way without making it cumbersome or confusing. It also starts to trap you since god forbid you make any further tiers.

Both the numbered scheme and the ra/ga method are implying a build upon the lower tier, be it by AOE or enhanced potency or something else, but the numbers have fewer future trappings and a clearer divide. It's something I can respect them for changing in the face of tradition/legacy. It shows the amount of thought they put into ARR+, everything got put through the wash.

I believe that was the reason PBC wasn't planning on moving, but I don't know if that's changed recently.

I wuv your brains.

The reason PBC was not planning on moving was because even though FC members could teleport to the FC house, new players who were looking to APPLY to the FC would not be able to reach Shirogane, in order to use the FC board (located at the house) to apply.


Now, I don't know if there are other ways to apply, or if even FC-less new players can make their way over to Shirogane somehow, but that's what was up last I heard.

please start a new OF thread where we ask why the FC cap is 512 and then have all pubbies tell us to stop recruiting anyone with a pulse. Good times.

you can apply if you see a character in game and right click on them.

I died because I assumed the healers were competent, started using Third Eye -> Merciful Eyes later to assist

They had to fire off an LB3 to res me and several others because they couldn't figure out such hard mechanics as Stack Up or Avoid The Big loving Lines That Kill You

Mechanics people can't grasp:

"If you have a purple marker over your head please don't stand in the middle of the party."
"If you have a swirling marker on you please don't move."
"The person is always in the 4th rock."
"Please look for the cloud before dodging.."

Mechanics people can grasp:
"I'm gonna block that loving sword so hard."

I know it's not exactly easy but Susano EX is easy enough that even I can clear it without dying (well unless skullfucked by the triple mechanic wombo combo) so I'm continually amazed when other mechanics there get mucked

I wouldn't be surprised if it is some limitation on the threat system where it always end up on the bottom.

There's a decent chance they noticed, but either couldn't fix it or figured it didn't matter, since they can't outlaw all the other ways you can bypass having to actually pay attention to the mechanic.

Not like paying attention is that much harder, anyway.
