Things You Hear That Make Your Heart Sink In Game.

"I hate long cutscenes, I just spam enter, if I wanted to read I'd get a book."

It hurts my soul a little every time I hear something like that. And I hear it a lot. I know it's an MMO, but why are you playing a Final Fantasy game if you don't give a crap about story?

Or how about spending 80-100k on pop items for an NM, get a group together to fight it, pop it, tank dies almost immediately, have to pop a brew to kill it, said tank lots and wins the seals you were after, then says "This isn't gonna work, I just got to level 90 anyway" (which of course means "I just leeched from 30 to 90 in a couple hours and my skills are all still level 30ish") and disbands.

Lmao xD
Can't say how many times i had exactly this happen to me.. explain every detail for hours and in the end it's just one big mess lol

skilling up in boyahda tree while still in the 70s:

"The water elemental starts casting...."

Random dumbass: "Can I switch to another job while dumping merits?"
Leader: "Level and what job?"
Dumbass: *Silence*
Leader: "Level and job?"
Dumbass: Paladin
Leader: "Level?"
Dumbass: *Silence*
Dumbass: *Silence*

I forgot you automatically get Fudo when you ding 90, silly me for not knowing.

"we have no need for your lol-sch-nukes"

Don't mind him, he's rolling in deep with the 6-hit Masa build!

O, MATER OF GAMES.

What the hell, why?

getting warped out of a 18 person party after having been there for 8 hours doing a o-hat run back in 2005 when o-hat was pimp, before the the hat had a chance to drop into my items, i litraly could have killed everyone!!!! i quit game for 1 year after that happened

Turns out it was for the fanart thing. GM later shouted "EVERYONE, CONGRATS TO" etc.. Would've been funny if this was in PJ.

Seeing Game Mater at first made me think "OH GOD THE RMT ARE GETTING SMARTER THEY'RE GONNA HACK MY ACCOUNT AND TURN MY COMPUTER INTO A BOOOOOMB".

Congrats! You should have teased him about his typing. After you got your prize, of course. :p

yeah... I would be totally thinking RMT there.

It's cool that you won the fanart competition though.

me: hey can you use crimson howl pls?
smn: no it costs too much mp
me: dafuck?


me: why is your blu wearing full medari? -.-
blu: i just did 30-90 today
me: so if i may ask what are you doing here?....
blu: learning cocoon

Next on the empyrean list, Verethragna for the mnk that doesn't gear swap for anything. (it might be Serj)

Nyzul Isle shout group: "Order lamps"

Doing Odin Prime fight. Random person says, "Hmm, should I go RNG/sam to do damage, or should I go Ninja? I have Kannagi. I think I'll go Ninja. I'll out damage everyone, but I'll be safe."
Goes to fight ---> Blade: Hi 860. Blade: Hi 920. Blade: Hi 713

Me on my gimp SAM ---> Tachi: Gekko 1147. Tachi: Gekko 1031. Tachi: Ageha 1362. Odin in my face, drilling me down.


Back in the day: "Let's setup for SATA. Ok, Paladin first voke, then I'll SATA this Warrior." ,_,;

Also back in the day: "Looool, Why are you using Great Axe? It's completely useless, and I hate that it even exists." -2007 rolls around- "Sub SAM, SPAM WS, GOD LOOK AT THAT DAMAGE! I LOVE GREAT AXE! IT IS THE BEST WEAPON EVER!"

Merit party at 75 ---> WAR(me), Kclub RNG, Polearm SAM, BRDx2, RDM
SAM: Yo, I'm parsing this ok! Results at the end!
RNG: Good luck.
ME: Heh, I've only been parsed a few times. Neat.

During Merit party:
I have hate from voke and high damage. Get owned 1~2 times with Pecking Flurry each mob due to Kclub TP feed. Eat dirt multiple times. Pulls slow down when I bite it.

End merit party: Results: RNG 1st, SAM 2nd, WAR 3rd. SAM says, "Yep, I figured it would go this way. SAM is better DD than WAR." @,@;

This, so much this. People parsing in meripos when WAR had to voke and tank for the most part, obviously /NIN, while the other melees showed up /SAM and /WAR ..

IS NOT! >=|

He's right, it's not :(

"Rani {Win}{Do you need it?} Must bring pop KIs and brew. {Ring} + {Earing} (R), atma {You can have this.} 1/18 50K a person!"


really really....

Chyula still doing that dumb *** shout? I blisted him ages ago because he's just a tard.

This is kinda old school but.
Healer or Tank: I gotta go.
Me: -_- Frakkk there goes the party.

Healer or Tank: Gotta go, replace otw, name is xxxxx
/t to xxxxx: ETA?
reply from xxxxx: N/M, got another pt.
/looks, no one to replace
me to pt: Looks like we're disbanding then =/

Nyzul Lamp floors, nuff said.

"What, I go first?"
"No, I go first, you go second, then so-and-so third"
"What third? I thought I was second."
"....."

No, but even Jinpu is superior with proper atmas and food. Also, Rana is hard.


Good job noticing it's Lv80 Masamune and I don't fight with it yet? O_o

But, hypothetically if that *was* the set I was wearing to use a Lv85+ Masamune, why wouldn't you assume I was using a regain atma? O wate gaiz peepul do stuff osside Abyssea.

Sure, Jinpu is superior if you smack on MAB/Smiting Blow, etc atmas. Which is decreasing your damage elsewhere. Jinpu is only ever nice for damage spikes, e-peen, and brewing.

Gekkos are going to outdamage Jinpu most of the time, especially if you're not /WAR. You'll still see occassional huge spikes with RR/VV/Apoc atmas, but like always, consistency > a few damage spikes here and there. Also, Gekko needs alot less attack than Jinpu if we're talking non-EXP mobs. I honestly do not see the problem with Gekko, and obviously neither has anybody else.

I think the fact SAM rarely sees any practical use besides EXP, staggering, or brewing makes my argument valid.

Also in terms of consistency, it seems on average 100tp Rana can be as effective/more effective than 100tp Gekko, with WAR sub at least. (Not sure why you'd use another sub on SAM...) Aside from straight damage, consider the additional TP output and highly reduced chance to miss completely.

I am curious though, unless you're holding TP just so you can swing more for high damage criticals (seems counterproductive), why would you use RR on SAM?

Isn't a 6-hit masamune > 5-hit in abyssea currently? Thought I saw Gradd or someone say it was.

it was in the "reworking the 5 hit" Thread Serg... i thought i saw that too
