Random Question Thread VIII: Wait, There's a Sticky?

[TheMysteriousX]

In theory, yes, but as Square will warn you when you initiate the process of character recovery, nothing is guaranteed(which includes your character as a whole).

..Unless of course the speech they give you in its entirety is bullshit, in an attempt to dissuade people from attempting to do such things.

It's a CYA statement, just in case they can't recover it. If they didn't, they you'd get people crying to them saying "... bu- bu- bu- you pwomised D':" if the character was gone forever.

Also can only theoretically be done once. Multiple times thereafter can be coerced out of SE, but only 1 restore is essentially "guaranteed"

thanks for the help everyone. gonna consider this as a plan B. for now I'll just try and report the name as offensive as some unheard of foreign language slang term or something until a nice GM comes around to set it for reset.

1: Is this the right way to make a windower macro?

input /equip legs "Kensei Sitabaki";
input /equip feet "Power Sandals";
input /ja "Chakra" <me>;
input /wait 1;
input /equip ammo "Black Tathlum";
input /equip head "Usukane Somen";

There's obviously more gear swaps for it, but I'm forgetting the rules for "wait", and if I'm typing it correctly.

2: Assuming capped accuracy - B. Kote or Alky's for MNK WS? And if the answer is B.Kote - then my next question is Alky's or O. Kote for MNK WS (until I get a B. Kote)?

[Ocara]

yea, i meant gekko not hagun

What was it for 100 200 and 300?

Late, but:

old: 1.50/2.00/2.50
current: 1.5625/1.875/2.50

They basically just adjusted it to weaken Hagun and strengthen non-Hagun gkatanas.

This should be correct.

How is the whole Star Onion Brigade/S.O.B. pun handled in the non-English versions of the game?

Certainly worked just before the update, but I haven't had chance to log in since to test.

Someone in an old thread suggested barthunder + carol when fighting Gears to mitigate damage from their AOE's. Which if any of their TP abilities are thunder based?

FFXIStyle 1.15 seems to work, just tried it. Haven't found any glitches so far.

I'm still waiting for your story about a vagina, a sash, and a photochopped marble.

A week away from BG might be the root cause of this issue, but I have absolutely no idea what this means, and it's making me feel really, really sexy

Random question here. I have had success doing a server change and then call a GM to transfer me back right away on one try, but I have also heard others saying the GM won't do anything. I am actually trying to use the server jumping method to change my name then jump back, and it would suck if I got stuck there for 3 months. Do you just keep calling GM until one that will move you back?

Thank you.

[Kyte]

Out of curiosity, what wording to people use to transfer right back after a server change?

[Nameless]

The one time I did it, the GM was nice enough to start the conversation with:

GM: "It seems like you accidently transferred a mule, is that correct?"
Me: "Yes, I am sorry, I made a mistake"
GM: "No problem, I will transfer you back right now...."
(Then he asked a few questions about if I understand that I can't have anything in AH or Dbox etc)
GM: "Yes, I understand"

So I can totally see that certain GM might not allow it. I was just wondering if you can do it til you find one that will do it or if it is a one and done deal that if one GM says no, they won't allow you to call about the same issue again.

Where can I post server announcements? I need people for the last BC before the new missions.
