Announcing the Official Forum (03/04/2011)

[Gwynplaine]

Starcade has the unmistakable quality of making every discussion he enters into weird and incomprehensible. I don't even feel comfortable denouncing him because the shit he talks about is so nuts you have to figure he's straight up mentally fucked. You only wish that someone like him who trolls 24/7 and hates the game would get a life.

[Kuishen]

So I'm testing their mods. I've gone from using minor cuss words, to dropping the f-bomb once, to now pointedly dropping the f-bomb multiple times at a particular person. So far none of my posts have been deleted or any other action taken. These forums may not be as bad as I originally thought.

[Darkmagi]

It's probably just like in game. Sure it's possible to get in trouble for public profanity, it's just unlikely unless you go about being a retard about it.

Thank you for reporting this graphical issue with the beetle's foot. We have reported this for escalation, and we are aware of this issue. Should there by any further updates about the beetle's foot, please check the forums for updates.

Oh lulz.

[Greatguardian]

Ooooh, where's that one! I want to see that.

Starts here and goes on for a couple posts. The guy gave up on posting after a bit though so the lulz were ended prematurely

[Colenzo]

oh thank god, i have such a beetle foot fetish :/

[The Stig]

Next mission:

Cream Soda go post about the Mercurial Sword on it.

Says it attacks 2-3, but it actually attacks 2-4 times.

See if you can get them to nerf it (as per description), or update the description.

Nerfing it would be the victory, and you'll be an hero amongst FFXI players. Sort of. XD

Reason
Vulgarity without adding content to the discussion.

Your got a post deleted, however by the wording it sounds like vulgarity is ok as long as you post has a point relevant to the discussion. Judging by what you said earlier I'm guessing you just outright flamed the fucking moron.

Sucks that it got deleted, but if we're able to be at least somewhat brutally honest about calling people fuckwits without just doing that... still better than I expected.

Flaming while providing counterpoints as a requirement > no flaming allowed at all.

[orson]

Odds are they won't flat out ban you either most corporate style projects like this they issue warnings and such. Granted knowing SE maybe you'll get banned 6 mths after swearing without any warning.

[Zeno McDohl]

I wrote some Python code to scrape the forum and generate posts in the last 2 days from admins/mods: http://www.biyg.org/ffxi_forum/

Still fleshing it out.

[EDIT] Whoops links are relative. Copy paste that crap until I fix it.

[Sagacious Sundi]

It's been years since I played, but don't bees have messed up legs, too? If so, that's another bug worth reporting.

[Alkimi]

Whole forum seems to be full of 'suggestions' that are mostly retarded or completely bizarre like this one:

FUCK i hate myself for reading this shit:

Didn't WoW just release an expansion that involves an underwater zone? -_-
Im against this idea for one reason, however irrational it may be, i have an extreme fear of water in video games. Especially enemies underwater. (remember the giant eel in mario64?)

[Kyte]

I'm not going to lie, that eel kinda freaked me out.

I dare someone to go post this:

edit: some more awesomeness. I just need to close the tab:

Omg, I was so hoping to find a forum stating this. I would LOVE to fight underwater. And the idea of Air free falling battles, I'd love too.

Also, I am scared of heights in RL, yet I go to Sky....yes, it freaks me out...but over all, the joy of gaming outweighs my fear. lol

And I agree...if this had a Rate Up option I'd......

/rate up.

[Kyte]

Of course looking back on it now, it looks pretty retarded.


EDIT: Yeah I just read that comment too. Where do these people come from?

[Aksannyi]

Considering we can't even swim in FFXI why would anyone think an underwater zone would work in any stretch of the imagination? You've always been able to swim in WoW, an underwater zone wasn't that farfetched.

This is exactly the kind of crap I expected to see on these forums. Though SE couldn't possibly ... could they?
