Random Thoughts.....What Are You Thinking?

Killed it twice, and its RaiderZ. F2P.

Are you implying this is somehow our fault? :x

Life is good! I guess I have my own harem, lol.

I have this urge to murder.

Evening, folks.

Spathy! Lil bro. Have a smoke. All will be good!

I probably will on my way to work. >.>

Well just saw a vid, I think I am def sure I will buy the more expensive AR I want =3

time to config an emulator and play ff8

loving ARR :3

Whysat then? :O

AUUUUGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!! My *** eye feels like someone's dragging a dagger along it!!

The hell did you do?

I don't know... It might be an eyelash, but it *** hurts so bad right now... Gotta fight it. It'll just go away.

When the mustache grows out of control... ;_;

Just saw the FF14 gathering and crafting video
Looks so interesting to me, it's like a craft isn't just a craft anymore but it's own job. I have no idea if it was like that before or not but I think that is really cool.

how does a sam lose to Maat?

I lost my first Maat fight because I forgot to use my Blink Band. >.>;

Also don't forget that Samurai was pretty underwhelming as a DD before the 2-handed/hasso update. Maat was probably a bit more of a *** in those days.

I beat him on Whm, when I was a more severe noob...

I still suck, but I sucked much harder then...

granted you only had to live to win that on whm.

but still, 2hour...

lol blind on whm actually helps, so I did too :P

oh those were the days... (not really).

Yah, for crafting and harvesting they had mini-games to play originally.

The crafting one seems to be the same, which was originally based on the Synergy model from FFXI (a timed game of quality-and-progress versus durability, using special abilities to complete the craft before the durability gauge wore out.) Later, they removed the timer from it, which was great, and added many features like those shown in the video (you can craft by selecting recipes known, it shows how many materials you have remaining for each recipe, you can repeat synthesis, etc.)

The harvesting one originally was a mini-game sort of like hot-and-cold, trying to land enough "hits" in the target area to win a desired object from the harvesting point. It was really engaging and fun...at least the first hundred or so times, but after that I think the consensus was the mini game was a bit boring and random. So it seems they eliminated much of the randomness and got rid of the mini-game aspect of gathering.

On RDM, I was really jittery and nervous. My friends were on Vent with me, coaching me along. I was all psyched up, got all my buffs up, ate some food, put on my best enfeebling gear, walked up to him, and I hit the wrong macro. See, I was supposed to cast Sleep on him. Instead, I used Dia. That... ended horribly.

The first time I beat Maat, it wasn't even me. A friend of mine who had my account info logged in on me while I was asleep and did it for me.

edit: I didn't ask him to. I just logged in and he was like, "By the way, I beat Maat for you."

Putting aside the fact that those comics must be before the 2handed update since it didn't come until about ToAU and they're still exping on Aura Statues in sky.

2hr on SAM did not grant you an instant win on SAM. Yes, it took a large chunk of Maat's health, but you still needed another 1-3 WS (depending on how bad your gear was) to finish off Maat and if he got bitchy enough to spam Asuran Fists there was no chance you would live or if you did you'd have but a sliver of hp unless spamming potions.

always sad when i get so excited when i see them jump more than anything else :I lol
