Merit Point Adjustments!

[Odin'sLaw]

I've just started Verg leveling now and even though I am not rushing the ls to do it, I bet I still finish before Malacite.

i bet my sisters bf with have a lv 90 emp before malicite beats Cara and he hasn't even downloaded the game pack yet

[Shenrien]

I'll finish my Redemption I plan on making so I can skill up my Lv.0 scythe skill with it before he finishes his Masamune lulz

[The Stig]

1) They don't even have the right jobs needed

Bullshit. any melee+whm an do carabosse. saw a fucking pup and whm duoing it, lol. but what michelob said, do that and just fucking finish.

One of the David Sirlin's scrub definitions:

A scrub is a player who is handicapped by self-imposed rules that the game knows nothing about.

I'm sorry man, but as everyone pointed it out already about the melee + whm combination, and I'm sure throughout the final form magian weapons thread people have been repeatedly trying to tell him to do that, we're still back at this very square.

Or weasel your way into a dev position and the nerf everything that made your life hard in the game.

I wish I was. I usually end up in 1 of 3 scenarios:

1) They don't even have the right jobs needed
2) They don't respond
3) Don't want to/are doing other stuff


A couple people in my LS are starting to get into this and I've asked a few others as well, just can't ever get any concrete regular group going. I'm only adverse to duoing or soloing because I hate wasting time farming triggers just to miss the KI and then have to waste yet more time farming more triggers (that & lengthy carabosse fights are mentally draining -_- )

Fuck you everyone who's calling me bad though. And yeah I do have a lot of people on my blocked list lol, mainly the holier-than-thou nerds.

TY Urat & Aurara for at least having a bit of class. I've been trying to get my LS mates to start working together on this stuff because it's not hard in the least, just time consuming but as my shell mostly contains newbies (a lot of these guys aren't even done Zilart or COP, but some of them also just started playing too. They're nice, just not very far into the game yet) my options are limited.

You've at least got a WoE GKT by now, right? I mean, there's no way you're just sitting on a waste-of-space GKT that hasn't been completed in 6 months and may not be completed in another 6? What do you do during all the time you're not doing your Masamune? Serious questions. I mean, if it's impossible to get anyone for Carabosse, surely you've got plenty of spare time to work on things that can be solo'd. Shouting in Jeuno is about the absolute worst possible thing you can do because it straight up means you aren't doing anything productive at all while you're stuck in PJ.

[Shenrien]

He's probably a one job wonder, thinks there is nothing outside of SAM and that its the greatest job in the world, and every other job can't even compete because of how awesome SAM is.

[Michelob]

He has monk, which makes it worse...

[Greatguardian]

If he is who I think he is, he has almost every job at 90, including MNK and NIN.

[Malacite]

Malacite, in all honesty and sincerity, just find 2 or 3 people that want to do a fucking weapon and team up. It'll take a week or two tops and you'll finish three of them.

Yeah I know a few who want to. Problem is getting both of them together at the same time since 1 of the guys can only go on Fridays apparently. @_@;


I've got 12 jobs at 90.

Masamune is just a personal thing for me that I really want done, because SAM is my baby. Has been ever since I laid eyes on Soboro waaaay back. I really don't care that WAR NIN & MNK are all much better at the moment, because I like SAM. And it's a game.

You know, something you're supposed to do for fun? Since I've exhausted the bulk of the story content I'm really just interested in pimping my SAM out at this point and helping friends out. Would be nice they'd actually help me farm though other than the one guy...

Oh I agree whole heartedly. I still drop a shout now & then but as soon as something else I'm interested in pops up I go for it. It's not like I sit in Port Jeuno 24/7 shouting like a dumb ass. Finally getting around to finishing some of my other long overdue shit like Varuna & Indra Staves. I swear to God though getting most people I know to even CONSIDER farming empyrean stuff is like pulling teeth and I can't for the life of me figure out why. This shit is not hard... People in my LS are constantly talking about wanting to do theirs, but no one ever acts on it. Well except 1 guy I know who recently finished his Masa to 85 soloing it all on BST... which is starting to tempt me though it is rather costly and time consuming >_<;

[Greatguardian]

I think the point is that you can pimp out your SAM with your MNK, NIN, or WAR.

In fact I'm sure that's the point.

Really, you could find either 1 WHM or 1 Melee who doesn't suck total ass and be good to go considering you have those jobs and WHM at 90. But really at this point it sounds more like you don't have any friends who don't suck at the game and/or are at all interested in working with you. If your friends aren't interested, that's fine, but how do they get shit done if you guys don't do shit in Abyssea? Or if you do, how are you making no progress? It's not like people have to help you and only you with a weapon. Make a duo/trio and make 2-3 weapons. Heck, make everyone two weapons, or three.

Or, assuming you've tried and failed at all of this, meet new people. Just, meet new people. Make new friends. You're probably never going to get anywhere trying to meet folks on BG (no offense, but your reputation here is ass), but FFXIAH is pretty well frequented.

If all else fails, I know guys who got 90 Masamune entirely through atma/win/+2/Triplus shouts.

[Fievel]

Did Malacite just actually fucking say that making an emp is hard? That making fucking Masamune is HARD? I dont even have words for you, jesus fucking christ. Honestly you are everything that is wrong with this game, they make the game so beyond easy mode that any blind dumbass with one arm could get maxed gear and you complain its too hard, just fuck off already.

[Gun-it]

even if that was true SAM+whm can duo cara.

dude, popping carabosse is hard when JPs are already popping it :<

[Lyall]

Holy shit this conversation. There's a fucktarded SAM on my server who is making progress by shouting to get people the ATMA OF ALLURE. And I've seen him shouting like a retard for days now, probably more than a week, and despite all of my hatred he is 1) somehow still alive and 2) making progress.

This SAM fulltimes gear, including the Acc8/Attk-12 ring while also wearing an assault jerkin. And he's making progress.

[Colenzo]

Theres this guy on our server shouting for "empyrean weapon building LS" then a day later i saw him shouting for people to do WoE with lolol

[Malacite]

Yeah I tried shouting your pop your drop and Atma/Afflictors etc, worked for maybe 2 runs.

Most of my buddies get stuff done on their own time without me these days, and it's kinda annoying. I'm not gonna bad mouth them, because they are my friends, but yeah I know maybe a handful of people on my F list that are actually really good players. It's late now and maint tomorrow, gonna see what's new with Voidwatch for a bit then prolly get back to trying to round up folks. Honest to fuck I don't know why I can't convince more than 2 people I know to form a static to get this shit done. It's like everyone talks about how they want this & that, but when it comes down to actually doing shit they all puss out on me and it's infuriating.

And yeah, I have been working on my WAR NIN & MNK quite a bit which is annoying but there's no getting around it. Won a Faith Torque off Bonanza which was epic, and as of tomorrow (later today technically) I'll be able to merit H2H finally, so I'm just missing that damned BB. THAT at least should be easy as I know like 10+ people who are practically foaming at the mouth to get theirs.

Part of me wants to just say fuck it all and quit, but I'm stubborn like that... this shit's gonna get finished 1 way or another eventually lol.

Also, reading comprehension ftw- I said this shit isn't hard, and that it boggles my mind why so many people in my shell express interest in the weapons but rarely if ever act. Lol the other day I ran by a group of at least 12 people fighting Dragua and all their DD's were wiping at like 2% HP... I thought most people brew held the 90 NMs lol? Buddy of mine has 10 mil fucking Cruor and I'm getting tempted to just farm the shit out cruor for a while to stockpile brews <_< lord knows if I'd been doing that this whole time I'd prolly have enough for at least 100...

[Fievel]

You said its not hard but bitch about how terribly difficult it is everyday, 6 months later youve made little progress. Youre that guy that thinks you have a bunch of "friends" but they all hate you so much and yet you never seem to take a hint. Please quit, stop posting here, I dont care where you go, just please not here.

[Appie]

Zero progress in 6 months on a La Theine Emp... I don't know wether to cry or laugh. You aren't being stubborn with wanting it done. You're being goddamn lazy. What is rule number 1 when you want to get shit done? You do it your fuckin self! You even got owned by a BST, jesus fuck. Get off your lazy ass, solo shit, get a mule or shut the fuck up.

There's is nothing more time consuming than zero progress in 6 months, even if you only solo'd 1 gem a week in those 6 months, you'd still have 26 gems by now, besides the 15 you got. Even I made more progress on my Vereth than what you have right now and I'm not even the first to finish it in my group! And my group was on its ass for over a month (excluding quake). Seriously... wtf...

[Sho]

The Fievel rage made me disapoint. Dunno how you've seemed to anger one of the coolest people on BG. Malacite... but you did.

I say give up on Masamune-- if "SAM was your baby" you'd scheme like a motherfucker to obtain this weapon, no questions asked.

[darkepyon]

"NOT WORTHYYYY! NOT WORTHYYYY!"

Ditto what Sho said. I'm half-tempted to un-retire my SAM and build one for shits and grins, but I have yet to tire of cutting my first initial into my opponents' faces.
