They were a monk who got red chains, being so far in that they got hit by purple. I think they were trying to run out to their spot at the last second without realizing it starts firing off three seconds in, but they did it three times in a row.

Edit: on that note, chains are totally random, right? As a Bard I only ever got red (if anything) both on the first chains and quad. Small sample size, but it gets me curious.

They're totally random.

One of the ones my old static used for E6S was "If you can't see it, it will kill you" Ferostorm, which had the real thin markers that wouldn't show up on your screen if they were pointed right at you

For E8S, our call for the right time to run through the boss for Akh Rhai was "jazz" because someone pointed out that she flares her hands out when the dragon head appears, so someone said she was doing jazz hands

You don't have to lose uptime at all as melee on red chains. Standing at max melee range on the boss is sufficient. I don't recall ever having to stop DPSing I just stand in the corner of the marker we have there. His hitbox is huge.

I still cannot understand the people who hear Alphinaud’s HW on voice and don’t immediately think it’s an improvement. In general the only voice from the old cast I miss is Merlwyb’s.

Anecdotally I've heard numerous people wondering aloud who the "Tiny Tim wannabe" is and what happened to the real Alphinaud when they reach the expansion rollover.

Reaper is just exceptionally well designed. I don't even like melee DPS and it made me like playing melee DPS. (To the point the only jobs I have left to level are melee DPS because any time I play them I just wish I was playing Reaper.)

I POSTED WHAT NOW!?
I’ve got a bit of a new pet peeve. People who refuse to roll on loot until the dungeon is finished. I’ve been levelling up alt jobs, and so I’m grabbing gear when it drops in levelling dungeons. What is making me angry is when a piece I can use drops and someone just never rolls for anything and then when the dungeon finishes I get the piece of gear that dropped as a guaranteed drop and so I only get the one item.

Roll for loot. I don’t care it slows down a dungeon by 5 seconds. Stop for a moment and just hit pass a bunch of times.

It's going to be a Mogstation if it follows the trend of other stuff.

I believe most of the Far East stuff on the Mogstation began specifically as exclusive glams but someone may correct me.

If they don't do that then what I'm hoping is that they'll either bring it back on another tomestones event (I think they brought back those other exclusive accessories maybe once).
Or- my friend suggested this- reskin it for future tomestones since jackets like that come in all sorts of different colors and have different designs on the back.
As soon as she said this I got to thinking I really one want with Byakko on the back instead of Ifrit

I know the school uniform glamours were exclusive to Korea for a time before being made available everywhere.

I think that might've been like a month or so before the exclusivity ended.

There was a glam of a Taisho(?) era school uniform that was released that was protested in Korea because while in Japan it's a perfectly normal historical school uniform in Korea it's a representation of the horrific cultural suppression of Korea by Imperial Japan.

who, me?



The specific era of school uniform aesthetic they went for came from a time when Japan had invaded and forcibly culturally assimilated Korea. That uniform, then, became a symbol of that imperialism. A lot of people who don't know about the history just saw a cool old school uniform, but that outfit, if nothing else, probably shouldn't have been released in Korea.

(Apologies if any of this is wrong, I'm recounting poo poo I remember second-hand)

After searching for "taisho school uniform", I guess they've actually done two different school uniform glams.




being the "far eastern schoolboy/girl" glams, but I was thinking of




the "collegiate attire" sets.

Back in Exdeath I was doing callouts one night and was super tired so forgot the name of Double Attack & said "uhhhh big man" instead.

It was a fun game after that to determine which move was "big man" in every new tier for a bit.
