Sergeant Assaults

[Dragonsmight]

ILRUSI IS FUCKING BUGGED I SWEAR.

"You successfully capture the Apkallu."
"The Apkallu runs away".

without anyone from my party anywhere NEAR me.

Before you capture kill all the pugs between the one your capturing and the NPC. As soon as you get the capture message you have to get behind it right away. It will start walking towards the NPC you just gotta keep following right behind it. If it sees you, a party member or a pug I think it runs away.

No idea what the pattern is atm. From the first two wins posted here I thought it was # of Q's, that was wrong. But got win just now.

[Devek]

Well, if you spam the NPC over and over it says the penguin's talk is some sort of code.. so it probably means something.

Example.. the winning match of:

squee squee squee | Quark squee | Quark Quark Quark | squee Quark Quark

and

squee Quark Quark | squee squee squee squee | squee squee | quark | squee

Could be translated to..

--- | .- | ... | -.. and -.. | ---- | -- | . | - = OASD and D?MET (not valid, no ---- in morse code)

or

... | -. | --- | .-- and .-- | ..... | .. | - | . = SNOW WHITE

I win bitches, give credit to me. lolRemorans amirte? Can someone post all the different patterns please so I can pretranslate them and put them up so people don't have to learn morse code to do this?

[Suiram]

Wow, good job. That makes this the stupidest assault yet.

[StaplerGuy]

Oh god, that's TERRIBLE. SE strikes again!

Nice stroke of genius deducing it, though.

[NynJa]

I didn't have the forethought to mark down the positions of the two I matched, but I did write down what they said.

M: Squee squee squee, quark quark quark, quark squee, quark quark squee!
F: Squee squee squee, quark quark quark, squee squee quark, quark squee, quark squee squee!

M: Song
F: Sound

lolRemoran wins

use . for Squee. - for Quark.

[Suiram]

This is what I got from the ones niv posted.

Females
FIRE
WHITE
APPLE
CLOUD
SOUND

Males
RAIN
SONG
BLF?lol (Probably BLUE and there's a comma before the last "squee")
SNOW
HEAT

[Bakthi]

So...

FIRE + HEAT
RAIN + CLOUD
SONG + SOUND
SNOW + WHITE

...

BLUE + APPLE!?

[StaplerGuy]

BLUE + APPLE!?

From what I hear, blue and green are the same word in many cultures, including japan.

Just a quick scan of wikipedia there.

I bet translating this to english + na morsecode is what took this patch so long.

[Gwynplaine]

I wrote down the same combination of QSSS, SQSS, SSQS to = BLF so what exactly does that amount to?

Jesus christ... should have known it was something beyond insane. So basiclly you have 15 minutes to translate morse code, sneak around bombs, find the matching npcs, and then slowly lead them to one another. In order to win you either have to get lucky like we did, know morse code well enough to translate quickly, or use windower to awkwardlly translate all this junk and hope your fast enough. Won't be redoing this assault anytime soon. I think this is the new poster child for shitty assaults just behind lebros tier2.

[Devek]

Erm.. Probably even not worth making a thread for the rankup mission.

Three third class privates do pushups at the same time, you have to count which one did less pushups than the rest.

I failed and she told me to come back tomorrow.

[zymurgy]

If you get it right, you have to come back the next day and make them do sit ups correctly.

[Zumi]

Now I have done the sit up part 3 times and failed each time. Not really sure what the trick is to making them do sit ups at the same time.

[Devek]

Same. Tried doing it when all their heads hit the ground.. tried doing it when the first head hit the ground. Tried just picking a random interval to hit enter.

[zymurgy]

Only suggestion I can give is play with sound, and do the practice. If the whistle sounds, you did it right. If it plays some weird noise, you did it wrong. It's pretty simple once you get the hang of it as long as you have sound on.

[Devek]

lol.. that may be the reson then.. I've had ffxi's shitty sound compleatly disabled for years.

EDIT: Yup, got it first try with sound on. Thanks zymurgy!

[zymurgy]

heh wtf, in the cutscenes where you train the 3 guys, there are 2 blond guys and one guy with brown hair, all 3 have different faces. when you get the cutscene to rank up, all 3 of them are the bald guy with tattoos on his head

[Koyangi]

For periqia is there way to go on the ledge past the bridge? we checked all rooms and up every stairs, no clue where else we could have missed 1, and the P. Body rocks for 1shotting these btw

Yeh, SE gave them a makeover because doing a bunch or press-ups, sit-ups and a bit of running has changed them into completely new people
