    What direction do you face for T0s?

    I don't think it matters personally, but curious what everyone else does.

  2. #2

    I face the direction of the day.

    You wouldn't know that though because you've demonstrably never picked up a book nor educated yourself on the matter. Let me guess, overweight housewife?

    Kuno is a direction, and that is where I face.

    Facing Galka crotch so the synth is infused with the power of the void of their loins.

    I usually face my monitor. It's facing east, which means I'm facing west. Uh, btw, how does this matter? The game can't know which direction I'm facing, can it!? Good thing I close my eyes on HQ attempts. If I can't see them, they can't see me.

    I face the directions the crystal's weakness is weak to. >.>

    So Fire is weak to Water is weak to Lightning. I face Lightning and usually synth on lightning days.

    If I can't see them, they can't see me.
    But how can they find thier way to you!?

    My RL buddy asked the developers this question at the last event in LA- and they told him direction has no bearing on synths.

    I used to face SE or W with Earth xstal synths, but now, I don't even worry about it. Last night I happened to be facing SW and I HQ'd a nobles. I don't believe direction does anything.

    I think its all bullshit.


    Do you face west when you're rolling a dice ?? I face north west, I tend to get better luck that way. When I'm playing poker, I must be facing south, if I'm not facing south, I'll get shitty cards every time. But if I'm facing south, OH SHIIIIT hide your wallet son.

    Random number generators are not truly random and can be easily influenced by any number of factors that the programmers want. Direction, last digit in your gil, elemental resistance, third letter in your name, number of deaths, presence of subligars, signet/sanction, etc could easily (but do not) cause slight changes to the way pseudo-random numbers roll if the generator is programmed that way. We have no clue how the generator is really programmed, so we cannot say with any certainty what if any factors contribute to the pseudo-random number generator.

    Except for the fact, as stated above, the developers already said it doesn't matter. :/
