The Official Forums II: Out Here Grindin'

Roughly? I think you mean "exactly".

Pretty much, since he also includes anyone who's ever gained from anyone else's cheating. Which, ironically, still includes himself.

But he's still ok because as soon as found out he reported himself to the stfu and transfered servers so he wouldn't have to be around those filthy cheaters anymore.

[Cymmina]

Didn't he literally ask for it? Something along the lines of "Either ban me now, or ban all the cheaters". Cheaters encompassing roughly everyone that plays FFXI that isn't Starcade.

I think he got banned by shouting like a retard in PJ with the intent of getting banned. Someone posted some screenshots of it a while back (maybe in the random fail thread?). Lots of swearing, etc.

[Gokku]

oh god this gem is posting in the monk and war fourms

unless SE is going to release the berserker job..

War needs the following. In the form of JA and/or equip

Shield bearer: ability to equip a shiled while holding 2h weapon.

Gauntlet: ability to hold 1h weapon with 2 hands for add damage.. add delay may be

Gengi glove: ability to hold 2h weapon with 1 hand for less delay and less damage. Should stack with /nin for DW 2h weapons with a stupid ammount of delay lol.

A JA that reduces def to 0 and adds it to att

A ja like blood weapon but for 1 hit and it would effect an alli.. IE throw a taru and deal some damage =P) i know we wont ever see this)

rage would be sweet.. cant do anything but reduce att speed and increase att for the damage you take after in rage.

whats this i dont even ...

[Ironside]

I stopped listening to that person when it became rather obvious that they have no idea what they're talking about, either in the sense of the game or the Internet. Examples: on the former, insisting that the game is bugged because he has bad RNG luck getting the Gukumatz KI out of chests; on the latter, from the same thread, the ever-so-common use of the word "troll" to mean "person who disagrees with me."

What is it with the official forums and that word?

It started with Naturebeckles and Krystal (because we accused them of trolling) and then they started using the word incorrectly against us and then everybody else started it too. Have linked a picture of Indigo Montoya w/ "That word... I don't think it means what you think it means." multiple times but nobody seems to take the hint.

I was going to use that quote in my post, but I realized someone else had used it, so it would be horribly unoriginal of me. XD

[Churchill]

No Alex for you!

Also, I don't like the direction the Rudra's thread is going. >:/ It's pretty obvious there are any number of ways to make the weaponskill more useful, but it has a place in our arsenal as it is and SE isn't likely to change it. I made most of the suggestions in that thread several months ago in another thread, and I saw the Climactic Flourish patch as their way of addressing it. Toss in some petty arguing about how Ironclad Smiter only takes an extra 50% damage (bullshit, lulz), and you have a thread that's going downhill.

Just... Rosina's post was . . . I don't understand . . . . She's either trolling or she didn't read my post/make any attempt to understand what was being said/is a not-so-secret retard.

Well now how am I supposed to finish my Amano then

To be fair, the people on the OFs who call people trolls are so set in their ignorance that they can't even begin to see that they might be wrong. As far as they are concerned somebody who says anything different must be trolling them. And really, if it wasn't for stupid people we wouldn't have awesome threads like this.

So I've had the problem lately that threads go by too quickly while I'm at work, and there'll be something I want to respond to that's buried under the other 10 pages of stuff that was posted in the same day. It's usually not worth it to 'necro' it though. Suck cause I feel like I have some good points to make that won't be brought up ;_;

That happens to me sooo many times.

Lurk more. Sroblem Ploved.

Unless every statement from Malacite himself was false, well, either way, one of you is full of shit.

Pages late but yes, Lyall is right.

He actually started and finished the 80 in a couple of hours with our LS one night, then shouted for the next 2 days to get the 85 finished. He's fair game for this thread, but at least be right when you jump all over him and his Bleach party macro's. >.<

Was talking about Darkbass not Malacite. Thought that was pretty well implied seeing that the previous posts including the one quoted were about Darkbass, not Malacite.

[Shirai]

I'm convinced people who main pet jobs (BST, SMN, PUP) exist for no purpose now except to bitch endlessly about everything added to the game until they get to solo every NM, -100% PDT for pets, bottomless MP automatons, MP free avatars, spirits that spam T5 and -ja spells and an endless supply of pet food/pet jugs.

They flipped out over SE having the audacity to correct the error in having their pets be effectively invincible... Something that was obviously not working as intended. That'd be on the same level as if WHMs got upset over SE fixing the "Cure does 99999 damage to undead" bug.

Bit late to reply, but as a person that plays and loves Summoner I do completely agree with you.
Most people playing pet jobs, especially those "main" Summoners, are the whiniest bunch of people you'll ever encounter in Vana'diel.
Melee Red mages pale in comparison to their weeping.
It's been this way for years, on nearly every forum that hosts Job specific subforums.
In the past this remained limited to the specific forums designed for them only to see for the people actually giving a fuck or two about the job.
It's just becoming more apparent now because the whiners are now spewing their unrealistic ideas, ideoligies and complaints all over the rest of the forums, with the support of enough of their whiny followers to keep their topics high up in the active topics sidebar with the hope that the DEVs will some day make Summoners as powerful as whatever God you may worship and as functional as a Swiss pocketknife.

And then there's Dallas, although he makes me laugh as I have no idea if the bugger is actually serious or just really good at keeping up with his charade laughing his ass off at everyone trying to feed him with "serious" debate.

[Mrbeansman]

Im pretty sure I made this clear earlier but getting banned on the official forums does not get you banned from the game. I got banned a long time ago and I'm still kicking in game. Empty threat is empty.

I still count BST as my main - but I don't whine endlessly about it unless they do something REALLY REALLY stupid (like the uncharmable cactuar bug). As for the SMN forums - gawd they almost do my head in as much as the RDMs. Difference is the ones who want to whine and push ridiculous agendas (I may joke about the Konschat boss as a jug pet - but it's done firmly tongue in cheek) just go on and on and on and on and on and on and on so anyone with a braincell rapidly leaves before it catches stupid from them all.

Camate announced we're getting static stats on relic +2, with more difficulty than originally intended (implying better gear) - and Pchan is taking credit for it. L O fucking L.

Posted by Camate:

The development team had a discussion based on all of your opinions and decided on the below in regards to relic equipment +2:

-Stats will be attached with static values
-Will be enhanced from a method other than synergy
-After enhancing the equipment, the level at which they can be equipped will be increased
-Will be increasing the difficulty more than we originally planned

...

We carefully examined each comment in regards to the stats being random or static.

As a result, we came to our conclusion based on the strength of your thoughts towards relic equipment and customized relic equipment (the symbolic aspects for each job as well as the difficulties of obtaining them), and also looking into having this equipment draw a line between other equipment.

The development team will be hard at work making sure that the people who asked for static and even the people who wanted random will have enjoyable content, so please look forward to this!

Posted by Pchan:

All I see is "more difficulty" and it seems they decided this on the last minute in order to make the augments not suck (meaning they indeed planned to make static suck)... Thanks to me you 'll get items that maybe won't suck (well you won't get them, it's too hard).

If he's trolling I'm genuinely impressed. He's been ranting about SMN melee for years over on otherwiki forums (it periodically bled into other forums, especially the suggestions forums) and god knows where else. Hell of an act to keep up that long.

actually I have once it was so-so. Sorry but I, actually play jobs as intended by SE. And I enjoy it that way. I more or less melee as /blu (for custom trait from blu spells) /drk for the attack boost.

I spent most of my rdm leveling pre aby as a melee and I did very well. All my skills were pretty much capped cuz I knew how to gear for it. >.> kinda the proper way to play actually instead of fake number crutching on off variables which is just based on assumption or an illagel add-on whicg is not perfect either. I tend to take pride in learn the job from personal experience. Not what some one posted on the internet. I play the game for fun not numbers

Fake number crunching with assumptions and illegal add-ons which is not perfect. You heard it here first, people, math is assumed and imperfect.
