The Official Forums II: Out Here Grindin'

[Aurara]

I like how the GM in that Windower thread only brought up the gear bashing and personal attacks, and didn't touch the actual topic of the thread.

Same GM who got me my name back lol. Pretty sure they dont give a fuck about windower or they would have locked/deleted thread no?

[Aksannyi]

Yeah, it's still pretty funny though. Blatantly talking about something that's against the TOS on the forums and they don't even bring it up.

[Byrthnoth]

Most shocking thing about that thread is the lack of holy "burn your house to the ground" anti-windower crusaders. I guess they're too busy playing full-screen to notice it.

[Aksannyi]

Either that or too up in arms about the character linking thing to come out of lurking.

[Kensagaku]

Another little gem.

So apparently it went from DRK needing Bio III to the merited spells for RDM/WHM/BLM needing to be non-merited scrolls and... well. You guys can read it yourself. :s

Truth be told, I get the whole "we're DRKs, we're the masters of dark magic" angle for it, but at the same time it's like... you wanna take away from your already slow swing speed to do a little bit of DoT that won't really outweigh your attacks in the long run?

[Korialstrasz]

Theres a star at the top left of the char you want to pick that you actually need to click. It took me about 20 seconds to notice it.

And that's exactly what I was doing wrong. I had just been highlighting the character but not the star itself. Thanks!

I've yet to see a thread locked by the OP that I think deserved it.

bold: where your argument fails.

Then a few posts later:

I have my own criteria for closing threads.

Made me laugh.

[Mairja]

My thread exploded. And Raxiaz being the biggest hypocrite, throwing more fuel on the fire than the rest of the posters in that thread combined. He's sooooooo angry...

Edit: lol, forum mod intervened, haha. :D

[Kensagaku]

He got me in an argumentative mood too. Darn mod stepping in when I wanna smack him around like all tarutaru deserve!

Er... I mean um... I DON'T USE TARUTARU FOR FOOTBALL PRACTICE, I SWEAR.

[Mairja]

Ken, please tell me - when you read Raxiaz's posts, do they leave you with the feeling the guy is like - really really really really angry? Or is it just me? I kinda get this mental image of a guy whose face is all red, eyes bulging, steam coming out his ears and froth from his mouth...

[Kensagaku]

To me, it's a kid who's tired of being told he's wrong and is kicking his cat when someone argues with him before returning to post again. :s

[Kazen]

level cap options pleaaaase.. I know they would NEVER be used but, The pride one felt for doing CoP @ 30, 40,50 caps, was something that ment something, now when jo blow new guy in the shell burns his way to 90 in a week, and tears thru the CoP content, it makes me want to punch a S.E. building with a Victory Smite... /fume >:/

If only for the option to have to taunt the younger folk, and when they do try, and find out it's impossible hard. Maybe they'll have just a inkling of respect?

cop was hard yo.

He's a very talented artist. Those are actually really good and not cheesy/weird.

I mean, I underatand the dumb shit he posts, but let's stop with the random hateration. He is a good artist and does occasionally give good suggestions.

Those thing's don't excuse his stupidity, but he's not a complete moron... right?

I don' t know if I'm a little jaded towards him, but his talent for drawing might not be that real. His painting and color choices are fantastic, I'll give him that, but some of the characters he's drawn either look completely wonky, or like trace-overs of something I've seen elsewhere.

Another little gem.

To korpgs reponse there.. are we not counting Protect V and Shell V as the same spell as Protectra V and Shellra V?

[bigrougabagel]

Blade Yu is the secret to pearl

At this point, I'm 100% convinced katz is a troll. No one is this stupid or has a 90nin, then decides to level another nin.

I forsee this thread being hilarious.

[Vandalhart]

There are Melee in Abyssea that can WS at 20-30% health and not kill the mob?

[Niiro]

To korpgs reponse there.. are we not counting Protect V and Shell V as the same spell as Protectra V and Shellra V?

A fully merited shellra V is basically shellra VI.

[Supersun]

You might as well just count Protect 5 as the same spell as Protect 4

[Niiro]

The only use Protect V has is to NPC the scroll for 6k.

6k > 5 def

[Vandalhart]

A fully merited shellra V is basically shellra VI.

Ahh okay. i didn't realise merits increased it that much.

His other ones (sigs) have been pretty meh, and herpes Mithra was fucking horrid, but some of his non-sig drawings, as well as his current Mithra sig (which has fantastic colours, there's no denying that) are quite good. Whether it's a re-trace or whatever, even if it's slightly "off" it's still better than some cut-and-paste artbook thing. He may be an idiot when he uses a keyboard, but with a pencil he can do alright.
