if it doesn't have a muscle slider it's a trash race not worth playing. exception to midlander males, who are a trash race with a muscle slider

speaking of ranged deeps, my static is looking for any non black mage ranged dps to fill out our roster. anyone interested should be prepared to tackle alexander savage and generally be pretty good about slamming your dick/tits/all of the above in a door repeatedly without getting mad.

make some noise in our thread: http://forums.ffgoons.com/showthread.php?tid=27369

Most garlean soldiers consist of the people that they've conquered. that's not to say that there aren't pure bred garleans in there, but the empire is pretty diverse now because of it.

Sorry to distract from Elinchat, but has there been any new info on 3.1? Either when it's coming, or ideally what changes it will actually bring?

I mean I doubt it will 'fix' what I want, but I've all but quit after the expansion as I feel that it made every dps job too complex for me to enjoy, so I'm kind of holding on 3.1 for I guess any changes. So has there been any noise on that front?

they're supposed to talk about 3.1 at tokyo game show soon, but they're probably never gonna make any dps classes simpler than they already are. if you want something simple, play monk because its basic rotation didn't change at all in 3.0, it just got a couple more off globals and a button you can press when bosses go invincible, which is all the time

This changes once you get 30 and then 60 cards; the restrictions aren't removed entirely, but they're dramatically loosened

of course by that point, every npc you fight has the random rule so you get hosed into a hand of 1-2 star cards while they have a static deck of 4-5 star cards to wreck you with

you know, i've tried to deny it since 2.0, but I just can't anymore. playing warrior is so much more fun, even at 50, hell even at 30, than paladin. it breaks my heart because I raided on it from first through final coil but i just never want to pick up paladin again even though i love the sword and board asthetic

Oh I remember, that wasn't even one of the longer ones, as before they adjusted them there were a few that had six or even eight hour spawn cooldowns. Hours that you had to sit there doing absolutely nothing, mind, because the roving bands of Atma farmers and the people also doing Animus meant doing things like crafting was a nonstarter, since the FATE would be burned down before your skills even came off cooldown from switching classes.

Funnily enough, Animus was the OF's least hated step because Trackable Progress... lauded, of course, by people that weren't actually doing it (they were still busy whining about Atma because they didn't get the drop by the third FATE in the zone). Everyone actually doing it loving despised it for all of the forced downtime with the FATEs and world mobs.

i'll never forget the time i delayed raid by an hour because a taste of fear took six hours to spawn. yay fates

I'm wondering what they are thinking in terms of item level requirements for these new things. Void Ark is i175, dungeons at i170. Getting to i170 is no meager task right now, so hopefully they make that easier than mashing your head against fractal and neverreap and hunts forever

yoshida slowly choking the casual players

yea it's a pretty big jump from 145 (current experts) to 170+. hell i know some people (like me!) didn't even have the ilvl to do the last story dungeon when they get there because the msq like doesn't give out accessories at all. it's kinda bs, especially because things like void ark are specifically meant to catch people up

i also wonder if that means they're gonna dump neverfracal and the fractal continuingtonotgetthisinroulette out of the expert roulette. that'd be pretty lame so it's probably exactly what se will do

I lost my bestfriend... I think
I sort of got into an argument between me and some new members of the FC, new members that my friend quickly became close with. It was obvious that he sided more with them, than with me. And while that to me is not the problem, its the fact that he didn't even ask me how I felt during that moment. I was hurt too, I too was called bad names, I too was having personal issues. Eventually, the new people left the FC. I also left, feeling responsible for the drama, but eventually came back after a long heart-to-heart talk with the FC leader and his wife.
He decided that we should spend some time apart. So I respected that, even though it was difficult for me at first. Sadly, all those thoughts in my head of being abandoned by someone who I thought had my back, grew into hate. I hated him so much, the very sight of him in the game annoyed me. Eventually, I got over that and moved on. But the sad thing is, I'm finding it difficult to care about him now.
We got to talking again a few weeks ago, but its just not the same. I feel like I don't know who he is anymore. And I don't want to blame ERP, but ever since he got into that, its not the same guy I became friends with years ago. I can't even find it in myself to say hi to him when he logs in, even though I say hi to everyone.
There have been moments when I just wanted to quit the game, or transfer to another server. If not for the other FC members that I became friends with, I would have. Tbh, I still don't know what to do. I really miss him, but its not the same "him". :(
