dat DOMARRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

they need to bring back hachiman models as wearable gear

**Darkmagi** · 2013-02-17 19:26

Would be pretty legit if they made it the optimal fulltime sam gear.

that was more like a nightmare I wanted to forget!

Aggroing all the undead from the floor below and everywhere else, and people had no idea low hp aggros undead, so we'd have armies of mobs coming up through the floor, and everyone's freaking out running everywhere. Took forever to do because no one was really high level yet, it was a death trap down there O_o

I used to fucking love when a LS would wipe to flail, and as soon as you would claim it with your LS, that shit would flail you immediately while getting into position. Then again, I was in demo, so we never knew what it felt like to lose/not claim.

**Abandon** · 2013-02-18 21:49

rofl, ok. so on Rag, it was the usual cluster up at Aery, and the botting ls claimed, but a pally from another ls curebombed the whm getting blasted, and then hit invincible. So one LS had claim, but couldn't get aggro. the rest of us started laughing as we started casting stoneskin, blink, etc. he fucking kited faf around the aery while they fought to regain aggro... then he finally flailed him, and killed THAT shell, but somehow damn near half the aery evaded or thanks to mitigation, survived. funniest shit, EVER.

Also, DRG was my first job, and I literally would type /sea all thf (insert lvl range) and start a pt with them, lol. SATA VB/DE/SB/Evis? sure, bring it on. high/super jump, and keep it moving. Blasting the dogshit out of processionaires and flies in Boyhada tree, stupid fast (for the time) exp? such win. Or the camp in... lufaise, with all piercing weakness mobs? oh man, so great. Then came Greater Colibri and the race to break 2, and eventually 3k with penta or DRAKESBANE (fuck, that ws is still epic in my memory), lol

Speaking of Drakesbane, i could never get past lvl 44 with a decent group, so i soloed the 3kish WS points, and broke it while duoing in sea with a bard, lol

This was the first time blatant botting really was seen in an NA LS on Shiva. Nela (the guy recording) is a leader of a long-time JP HNM LS and after this was caught he just started /sh spamming "NA cheat" etc etc
Jonesz and Arshi were 2 characters used by this LS to bot claim and then log out instantly.

There's a pool in Ru'Lude Gardens.

I can remember my first time up there seeing someone pulling up moat carps, too.

Guess it -is- kinda a nice quiet spot to work on a Lu Shang's...

**Demosthenes** · 2013-02-27 11:45

I thought it meant swimming pool.

Speaking of Demo, I saw this video on Clynt's FB the other day and found it hilarious

**Tricen** · 2013-02-28 12:58

I remember when I was on Shiva a long time ago and Tiamat was srs. I had a kraken club and I was RDM/DRK for some reason. A THF in the LS that was fighting Tiamat was attacking an antlion. So I said in /s "CFH and I'll help kill it." They did. It was hilarious.

**Amiricle** · 2013-02-28 18:04

Being ridiculously drunk with the other mages in dynamis-bastok and mistaking my sleepga for thundaga several times and still not killing anyone and getting 100% clearance. Hell, just playing drinking games during Ls events period.
